Do you love the starry night? Do you want to know everything in the sky? Star Rover is the fantastic planetarium for your iPhone and iPod touch. Just hold up your iPhone and Star Rover will tell you exactly what you are pointing at.
Star Rover determines your location automatically. Youll see the stars, moon, planets, constellations in their proper place from your current location. As you move your iPhone, the star map updates in real time.
Star Rover makes the virtual sky a gorgeous view. You can see star twinkling, beautiful nebulae, occasional meteor and even sunset glow in the evening.
Star Rover is very easy to use. You can simply change the sky view in settings and use Quick Find for everything you want to know in the night sky.
Star Rover lets you set your location manually so you can see the sky from any part of the world. It also lets you travel to the future or the past and see the sky on different dates and times. If you are planning for a solar eclipse, this is the app you need.

Pros and cons of Star Rover - Stargazing Guide app for iPhone and iPad
Star Rover - Stargazing Guide app good for
Very educational. Id like to have a tutorial for the "point & view" feature because I couldnt find it or figure it out.
Fun and easy to use. Im no expert, but its accurate enough for me!
I really dont get why people are giving this bad reviews. All i had to do is play around with it a bit and figured out all i needed. Loving the fact that i can zoom in on planets and galaxies! Amazing
This app is insanely cool. Dont get how it could be under 5 stars
So crazily awesome. I once thought I was an alien cuz I could see all the stars and shtuff.
I absolutely love this app. It is beautiful and educational. I find it very relaxing as a calming effect before sleep.
Some bad moments
Im not an astronomer but I am finding this is a great tool to identify all the objects in the night sky. Lots of additional tools that add to the learning experience. This is a great app for students, grown ups, etc....
Works ok. The star tracking can be a little glitchy. Googles Star Map is better IMO but I couldnt find it for Apple.
Wicked app, clear directions, and spot on if you have a clear signal, just wish you could see the stars on the other side of the world
Please do not buy this software. It is a waste of money. The software is very hard to navigate and it is not what it advertised to be. Wish I can get my money back.
Its so nice to turn the phone to an area of the sky and know what Im looking at. Find the mystery light in the sky and know its one of our eight planets. Really like this app
I have seven other programs that this one is not even in the same ballpark
