|This app assists amateur star gazers identify planets and constellations. This app can be used both day and night. The app does still function during the day so students could see where the constellations are in the sky even if they can’t currently see them. Additionally, it is a good supplementary app to introduce to students for private use or homework. It is useful seconds after downloading and opening it for the first time. It is quite intuitive. Simply hold your phone up to the sky and augmented star maps, images, and labels will appear superimposed over the screen view. The free version does not have a complete list of constellations available, but it does a good job of starting amateurs off. It’s also possible to search for specific celestial bodies and constellations and the app will direct the user to the proper position in the sky to look for it. Additionally, it will show the trajectory these bodies are following. The augmented map does not always entirely line up with the actual sky, but it is close enough to understand which stars are which. This app showcases a simple version of AR that has instant educational value.
