Thank you for posting this. I tried Google Sky Map and it is easy to use. Another thing that I like about this app is that, it is free and less bug. I’ll try the other apps too and see if it’s good too.
You have not mentioned the best: Stellarium Mobile!
I didn’t find this type of app in Google Play and in this list I mentioned only astronomy apps available at Google Play
Stellarium is in Google Play as is Sky Safari. Easily two of the best apps in the category. I have them both on my Nexus 7 so I don’t know why you can’t see them.
Thanks and its updated in article….keep reading and suggesting 🙂
Wow.. simply superb astronomy apps.. now one can easily get to know the facts of the sky 🙂
SkySafari Pro is one of thee best!
Starchart is also. 😉 lol
I guess that one is for iOS device and these app are for Android
No, Sky Safari is also available for Android. I bought the Pro version and it is the best.
Astronomy is one of mankind’s oldest sciences. Since prehistoric times people have been looking up to the heavens, marveling at the incredible mystery and beauty of the celestial objects they observed. We still do so today.
Android is 100 times better than iPhone ;D
I absolutely like your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be exactly I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content for yourself? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome blog!We stumbled over here from a different website and thought I may as well check things out. I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to looking into your web page again.In regards to writing an article, in what way did you convey your thoughts into writing? Thank You for any info. Your posting is appreciated.
I like the apps that you suggested for the android but one that I did not see mentioned and is in my opinion one of the best is sky safari 3. This app will allow you to control your telescope; zoom in on millions of objects and gives information on them as well. Not only will this app allow you to do that but you can also see events ‘simulated’ as well.
Thanks for appreciating my work Hal Dryden and yea its cool application.Even i like that one badly. But friend i added only those which are available on Android Market.
