About Planisphere Sky Widget APK
Table Of Contents
Description
The round shaped sizable and highly configurable starry sky view (known as the Planisphere) widget will help to personalize your home screen providing the infinite number of combinations of colors and decorative features. You can match your home screen theme, other widgets look, as well as the informational content precisely to your liking. On the first screenshot, you can see my home screen with 5 matching widgets cluster. If you are missing something in this widget - just ask me and I implement that in the next version!Almost every aspect of the widget can be configured using the accompanying configuration app. That includes all of the colors, sizes of elements, automatic behavior, and response to the touch. See the configuration screen of the widget with an example of totally mystic-looking inverted colors configuration just before the last screenshot above. Your imagination is the only limit!
The widget shows the real sky's celestial bodies' configuration at the given time for your geographic location or for the location you have set manually. It's useful for checking what's visible in the sky at the moment or tonight, for quick figuring out if the bright star you see is a planet, to see where to look for the Milky Way in the sky, to get familiar with constellations' lines, and so on...
Within the widget you can see:
- The Sun.
- The Moon and its phases.
- All 9 planets (Pluto can be included).
- Bright stars visible with naked eyes.
- Common constellations lines.
- Coordinates grid with the celestial equator and zero meridian emphasized.
- And finally, the Milki Way in true shades, including fuzzy objects scattered around it, which you can only see from a really dark place, like a remote campground.
The widget is very lightweight on the phone resources, the image of the chart is updated hourly, the geographic location is checked every other day. No information obtained by the app is ever leaving your device.
Missing some must-have feature or a settings option? Just ask me and I will deliver!
PS: I've made it for myself a while ago, as I love informative widgets on my screen and also had envied the Android watch, which has such a planisphere clock face available. There is nothing like this widget is available in the Google Play Store so far. Now I decided to share it with you too!
Enjoy!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
