User Reviews

Star Odyssey is praised for its informative and educational content on stars with a simple and easy-to-use interface, especially when used alongside other apps like SkEye. However, users repeatedly highlight the need for updates to support newer Android versions, a significantly larger star catalog that includes planets and moons, and theme options beyond the current night mode to reduce eye strain and enhance usability for those working at night.

Pros

Provides extensive and informative data on stars, useful for learning and amateur astronomy.
Free to use and educational, making it accessible to a wide audience.
Simple, easy to use interface that compliments other astronomy apps like SkEye well.
Fluid and user-friendly for finding star-related information.

Cons

Lacks compatibility updates for newer Android versions such as Android 12.
Needs a much larger and more comprehensive star catalog, including planets and moons.
Missing both Light and Dark themes; current night mode strains the eyes and is problematic for users working night shifts.

Love this application, together with skyeye, you have real knowledge in the palm of your hand.... If it worked, "couldn't find requested object" error ruins the experience.
