Hold the phone up and the live camera view gets honest labels: stars, planets, the Moon, and the brightest galaxies, nebulae and clusters. Tap anything for what it is, how far away it is, and a fact worth saying out loud — the app can speak it for you.

TWO WAYS TO WATCH
• Real mode — the camera view with labels drawn over the actual sky above you.
• Planetarium — a sensor-steered map of the same sky that works in daylight, under clouds, or with no network at all. Point the phone anywhere and see what's behind the clouds.

HONEST BY DESIGN
SkyLive only draws labels when it genuinely detects a usable night sky in the camera. Too bright? Clouds? Phone pointing at the ground? It says so, plainly, instead of pretending. The astronomy comes from your position, the time, and a verified catalog — computed with the same class of methods observatories teach, accurate to a fraction of a degree. The honest limit is your phone's compass, and the app tells you when it needs calibrating.

SHOW SOMEONE YOUR SKY, LIVE (PREMIUM)
Go live and get a private link. Anyone who opens it in a browser sees what your camera sees — with the stars and planets labeled — about one frame a second, free for every viewer. Nothing is uploaded until you press Go live, an unmissable indicator shows while sharing, and stopping kills the link immediately. Frames are relayed from memory and never stored.

WHAT'S IN THE SKY
127 hand-verified objects: every naked-eye planet, the Sun and Moon, the brightest stars with their constellations, and showpiece deep-sky objects like the Andromeda Galaxy, the Orion Nebula and the Pleiades. Positions are recomputed continuously, so even the fast-moving Moon stays honest.

PREMIUM: GO LIVE, AND HEAR EVERY OBJECT'S STORY
Free gets you both modes, every label, object facts, search and guiding — the whole night-sky guide, forever. Premium adds the connected features: broadcast your sky live to any browser, and AI-narrated stories — tap any object and hear a rich, spoken description of what it is and why it matters, in the app and on your live link. Premium is tied to the device that buys it; on a new phone, use Restore purchase.

PRIVACY FIRST
• Location stays coarse. The sky needs city-level position only — SkyLive asks for approximate location, rounds it further, and never tracks or stores where you've been. You can type a place instead of granting anything.
• Camera frames stay on your phone, except the live share you start and stop yourself.
• No accounts, no ads, no trackers. An anonymous install id is all the server knows, and you can delete it in one tap.

SkyLive identifies the sky with astronomy — your position, the time and a star catalog — not by "recognising" the image. That's why it works instantly, offline, and on any phone with motion sensors. ## Rankings - #2,399,365 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `ai.oonak.skylive.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Star Guide: Night Sky Map](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.starregistration.planetarium) — 111,959 users, 4.45 / 5 - [Sky Tonight - Star Gazer Guide](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vitotechnology.sky.tonight.map.star.walk) — 6,638,895 users, 4.66 / 5 - [Sky Tonight: Star View Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tca.sky.view.stargazer) — 2,845 users - [starsky](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.evergreen.starsky) — 1,580 users - [NightSkyLab](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.nightskylab) — 40 users - [Sky Map Live – Star Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sky.tonight.map.star.walk) — 179,925 users, 3.61 / 5 - [Sky Scry](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.matoski.skyscry) — 31 users - [Lookup: Night Sky & Stars](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.digitalrhyme.lookup) — 19 users - [Astrolapp Live Sky Map](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mkreidl.astrolapp) — 89,998 users, 4.52 / 5 - [Sky Map Live & Star Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/sky.map.startracker.live.app) — 381,574 users, 4.72 / 5 - [Planet Pointer: Star Finder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tarazi.planetpointer) — 17 users - [StarGlobe - Star Map & Sky](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.starglobe.app) — 55 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ai.oonak.skylive)
