Paul73 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Sky Safari is probably one of the best. Loads of information and easy to use. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Vader Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Another 1 for Sky Safari (6plus), I also use Stellarium free but not as often. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardy30 Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Would the cheaper one be ok ..I don’t want it to control the scope just to view the stars so I can spit what I’m looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Vader Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Should be... Stellarium is a free download and I think the basic version of Sky Safari is too. A quick look on google play should give you an idea of the best one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They differ primarily in database size (object count), but some advanced features are avaiable only in Plus or Pro. Interestingly, the basic edition is free on Android but paid for iPhone...
