Astro apps for iPod touch


Ganymede12

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for an astronomy app that is compatible with the iPod touch. Right now, I'm using Vinmeem Lite which is Ok but doesn't name the stars or constellations. Nor does it show the moon. Star chart, Stellarium mobile, Star Atlas and SkyORB are incompatible. Any suggestions?

I have an iPod touch. I use goskywatch, it has the constellations, stars, moon phase, planets, comets, dso, etc. It's useful for planning too because you can change the time. It does cost a few pounds but I think it's worth it.

I also use scope help, sky harbinger and gosatwatch. I find scope help most useful for polar alignment.

What version of iPod touch are you using? Some of the apps I have tried to download bring up a pop up message saying "this app requires iOs 5.0 or later to run" and all I know I's that my iPod touch is an old one!

I have also been able to download the apps "Stars" and "planets".

P.S Thanks for prompt reply.

I wish I could edit these posts. I have just checked and I use the latest iPod touch (5th gen I think) and ios7

The gosatwatch app has a minimum if iOS 5.1. It did used to work on my old one too though

Sorry, looks like this app is not for you.
