Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.noctuasoftware.stellarium-v1.5-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
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.

4 ★One absolutely amazing app. Becomes very easy to use after very little practice. It is intuitive by itself. I would have rated it 5 stars, but there are little things that I would want to be added to the app, considering it has to be bought. Too often do I find myself unable to reach my PC to use the Stellarium software to see what part of the sky does my astrophotography setup see. And to add to that, definitely more nebulae and clusters should be visible in the sky. Otherwise, a great app!
1 ★Developers clearly moved their focus to the new PLUS app and ripped out some beloved features here. Won't purchase from this company again. Play pass has given me a couple solid alternatives. I'm tired of cash grabs.
5 ★Very good. It shows you what planet or stars that is within your vision. Caught some pretty cool planets like Jupiter, saturn and Mars. App is easy to use too
2 ★I like the app and use it a lot, but I'm not sure why when in mobile view, everything seems to be misaligned a bit. I look on my screen, then I look to the sky behind the screen, but I have to turn my head about 10 degrees to see what the app is actually showing. It's misaligned, it's not by miles, but it's seriously annoying. I've calibrated the internal gps/compass, and I know it's not that, as the Skymap app does a perfect job of 1:1 sky viewing. Help. Time and location is correct by GPS.
3 ★For the approaching comet C/2019 y4 Atlas, this app is proving pretty close to useless. I don't really understand why I have so much trouble searching for things with this app compared to some free apps like Celestron Skyportal. I end up using other apps to find things and then switch back to this one because I still feel like this has the best interface, but I'm disappointed that it can't stand on its own. I don't know if the catalog updates ever, because I don't see options for that.
2 ★Get the new Stellarium mobile free or plus version instead. Love Stellarium, hate this sky map. Tracking for Comet NEOWISE was wildly off, and horizon seems much higher than what I viewed on location. Great to get info but almost useless for tracking.
3 ★Disappointing for lack of updates. Last time it was updated was March 2019. Even the paid version is still lagging behind. Time to use a different app.
3 ★I like impressing my friends with it. If you want to know where the planet's and stars, (plus the satellite's) are, this app is great for that. I don't understand all the menu buttons. Very confusing trying to work the app. The menu isn't very good I don't care much to use it. I paid 2.99 for it so I just keep it on my phone.
4 ★So many things missing. Not event a scope interface. I used Stellarium years ago. I am sure it was better Guess its all about the big bucks. Ah well back to CDC and my old Dell laptop that works great. ... Still guess its a try me app only. Since this post, i discovered the Plus version had the price struck thru, its now free. So giving it a try.
3 ★I can't believe it but this worked better when I had it illegally on my phone. It shows that the sun is way higher than it really is at late hours; it's 9.30 pm and it's dark af outside, and yet the app shows that there's still sun which causes big big problems with my attempts at stargazing and watching the moon's movements. edit: turns out, the app thought I was in Paris. Why? Who knows. I had my location access enabled. The default setting for GPS was set. I entered my location manually.
3 ★Gahhhhhhhhh! Why are controls overlapping? When there is a star underneath (or over) the time control the star is selected rather then the control.
3 ★Generally a good App, but where is C/2020 Neowise? It would be good to know where to look but only C/2016 Neowise comes up. The best visual comet in decades and its not here. Disappointing.
