Features & Capabilities

Starry Map lets you point your phone at the night sky and instantly identify stars, constellations, and satellites with AR names overlaid on the live camera view. You can swipe in any direction to explore, and you’ll get alerts for visible ISS passes and meteor showers. The app works offline and includes extensive celestial catalogs for immersive stargazing.

It covers 88 constellations (with Hevelius illustrations), Solar system planets and dwarf planets, more than 100 Messier objects, thousands of satellites, hundreds of comets, plus notable asterisms and meteor showers. Satellite pass alerts and meteor shower peak notifications help you plan sessions even when data is limited.

User Reviews

Users praise Starry Map for locating ISS, Neowise, and other objects and note it is easy to use, with recent fixes restoring functionality. However, widespread stability problems are the dominant theme, including crashes on launch and when selecting comets, particularly after updates. A few complaints mention Wi‑Fi connectivity limitations and a lock/purchase hiccup after searching for Neowise.
Pros
  • Useful for locating and tracking ISS, Neowise, and other celestial objects.
  • Core functionality appears to be restored after updates/fixes.
  • Easy to find Neowise and generally user-friendly.
  • Kids and families can easily use it.
Cons
  • Crashes on startup / the app won't open for many users.
  • Crashes when selecting NEOWISE (the listed comet).
  • Update introduced instability and broke usability for some users.
  • Limited connectivity: works on cell data but not consistently on Wi‑Fi.
  • Purchase/lock bug after searching Neowise to buy.

I frequently used the app to track the ISS and other items of interest. Unfortunately, the last update rendered the app completely useless.
