★ Zoom on realistic Milky Way and Deep Sky Objects images.
★ Discover how people living in other regions of the planet see the stars by selecting the shapes and illustrations of the constellations for many sky cultures.
★ Track artificial satellites, including the International Space Station.
★ Simulate landscape and atmosphere with realistic sunrise, sunset and atmosphere refraction.
★ Discover 3D rendering of the major solar system planets and their satellites.
★ Observe the sky in night mode (red) to preserve your eyes adaptation to darkness.
Stellarium Mobile contains in-app purchases allowing to upgrade to Stellarium Plus. With this upgrade, the app will display objects as faint as magnitude 22 (versus magnitude 8 in the base version) and enable advanced observing features.

★ Reach the limit of knowledge by diving in a massive collection of stars, nebulas, galaxies, star clusters and other deep sky objects:
• All known stars: Gaia DR2 catalog of over 1.69 billion stars
• All known planets, natural satellites and comets, and many other minor solar system objects (10k asteroids)
• Most known deep sky objects: a combined catalog of over 2 million nebulas and galaxies
★ Zoom almost without limits on high resolution images of deep sky objects or planetary surfaces.
★ Observe in the field, even without internet connection, with a "reduced" set of data: 2 million stars, 2 million Deep Sky Objects, 10k asteroids.
★ Control your telescope through Bluetooth or WIFI: drive any GOTO telescope compatible with NexStar, SynScan or LX200 protocols.
★ Prepare your observing sessions using the advanced observation tools, to predict a celestial object observability and transit times.
Stellarium Mobile - Star Map is made by the original creator of Stellarium, the well known open source planetarium and one of the best astronomy applications on Desktop PC.

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.

5 ★Love this app! Much better than other star maps I've tried. So much detail and works so smoothly. Actually gives you a graph of how visible specific objects will be over time! Crashes sometimes but it's not a big deal. One feature I wish it had was to "flag" certain stars so they were always highlighted. (I want to see where two stars are in relation to each other and you can't really do this because once you search for the 2nd star you, can't see where your first one is
5 ★I've tried several astronomy apps. So far, I've found this the most complete and accurate of the free apps I've tried. I haven't tried any of the paid options. (I have not been too active with my astronomy interest lately. If I get back into it, I would definitely consider paying for the extras.) I've used the Windows desktop version and enjoyed it for years. It came with the nice telescope my in-laws bought my son. The desktop and Android versions are wonderful apps. I definitely recommend!
5 ★Nothing beats the real stars, of course, but this app is excellent for virtual stargazing indoors or in cloudy weather, or if you can't get away from light pollution. It provides the positions of the stars, planets, and other visible sky features. It defaults to real time and current location, but is settable. It is also an excellent educational tool for learning the constellations according to various cultures. Highly recommended.
5 ★It is wonderful to have a hand held planetarium. Artwork is beautiful and the celestial mechanics working in the background makes it intuitively easy use. It's easy and fun to use to pair up what I see in the sky with this device held up next the stars and planets! It's a great teaching tool too. As someone who has navigated by the stars for a living, this is fantastic for finding the optimal stars for triangulation. Perfect!
5 ★I have used the free PC based version of this for many years. Great program. This android version works much the same way but targeted at a smart phone UI. It has a calendar function to see upcoming events in the coming days which is really handy. You can see a list of thing happening just tonight including the satelight passes. There is tons of stars in the database. It is a mature program.
4 ★Works well, but light pollution settings are slightly off. Really like all the features and works good for finding things like the ISS, I got to watch it pass over me. Could also add an "Always show" list so you can always see certain objects you put on the list. Edit: Found some what I believe to be graphical glitches, which consists of random blue/orange lines and dots, don't know what caused them but I have screenshots
4 ★Upgraded to the pro version and I am mostly happy with this app. However, there is one disappointing difference from the mobile vs PC version: limited equipment settings. The main reason I use this app is to plan astrophotography shoots. This is difficult to do when you do know the exact FOV off the top of your head for every setup (not to mention the fov is limited by arc minutes). On PC this is no issue as I can select my camera, telescope, etc. For $20 I think it is fair to improve this
3 ★Pretty nice app for finding celestial objects. But could use some improvements. For some reason I have difficulty turning off the live mode when I want it to. Also, I wish you could rotate the sky however you want, instead of being limited to staying within the perspective. View. Maybe there's a way to do this but I haven't found it yet. Could be more user friendly.
5 ★Amazing! Visibility in my area, although limited, is better than one would think. I love this app, especially information on satellites. I do not own a telescope, the sizes within my budget could look suspicious, as if spying on my neighbors. I enjoy laying on the grass and looking up at the stars, and learning. I am 60, never too late to learn.
4 ★*edit 6/14 Still enjoying this app immensely. The Free edition is fine for me as I don't have a telescope nor use of one. I do have a love of of astronomy. I find myself checking the night skies first thing if I have to go outside at night. Always hoping for a cloudless night sky. Great app for kids, novice users or any age groups. I also like the option of using it in daylight to see what is in my locations view even though it's not visible yet. Go back at a previous point in time is good+.
4 ★Outstanding!! Truly wonderful eye candy and awesome user interface. It'll take you where no person has gone before. They've included plenty of scientific space information at the tap of your finger. You really should download it and be impressed. The ONLY reason it didn't get 5 stars is that the magnet in my phone case entirely disrupts the compass calibration. I know, it's the fault of my case and I'm being selfish, pouting, entitled, but I like case, I'd give it 6 stars if not for that, ha.
4 ★Great app for those of us who are not knowledgeable of the constellations, which planets are where and their locations, but are interested in star gazing and the wonders of the universe. Navigating the app is a bit difficult, until you fumble through it and figure out what does what through trial and error. Frustrating for the beginner trying to get started.
