The first difference you'll see when you launch gorgeous GoSkyWatch, than the others listed, is the view is in a sphere shape which gives you a full 180° perspective.

GoSkyWatch Planetarium for iPad by GoSoftWorks, free, 'Easily and quickly identify and locate stars, planets, constellations and more by simply pointing to the sky'. (has: browse (but doesn't stay), search, fly to, tap info) Here you can find a very thorough comparison of many astronomy apps, but very outdated (2009). I just mentioned items that stood out to me. All have more functions than I comment on (or lack of). I made a note () after each of their name heading if capable of those features for the free versions. search for constellations such as the Big Dipper (search Ursa Major) then tap to be taken there. So many different features on each so I list them in order of my favorite, first, based on overall and: I've whittled my list down to my favorite four free apps (I list more under MORE) for sky gazing with compass aware (aim device and it displays that location in real time). PLANETARIUM APPS - SKY GAZING & TRACKING (COMPASS AWARE). PLANETARIUM APPS - SKY GAZING - NO TRACKING (NOT COMPASS AWARE) PLANETARIUM APPS - SKY GAZING & TRACKING (COMPASS AWARE) All screenshots I show are the free versions but with the ads blocked (if there are any). NOTE: You do NOT need to be jailbroken for any of these apps, but you do need to be jailbroken to block the ads. Shown in the image below is GoSkyWatch Planetarium in red night mode.

I've spent a lot of time testing and playing loads to be thorough.

So I'm excited to share my extensive list of iOS (some Android and PC) astronomy apps that are free (and under $5.00 for the full versions, most). How fantastic that you can point your device anywhere and know the location of planets, constellations, satellites, etc.

NASA will also be using 11 spacecraft, three aircraft, and 50 high-altitude balloons to capture and stream real-time eclipse imagery.I ♥ love astronomy softwares especially on portable devices. If you’d rather avoid the crowds, traffic jams, and general risk of eclipse-induced cataclysm, you can always stay indoors and tune into CNN for a 360-degree stream of the event. Thankfully, we’ve done the grunt work and found the best solar eclipse apps currently in existence, whether you’re a fan of astrological simulators or virtual lunar tours. Seeing as this is the first total solar eclipse viewable from North American in 38 years, everyone from app developers to fraudulent solar eclipse glasses manufacturers are looking to cash in on the cosmic crossing. With only a few days remaining before the eclipse, iTunes and Google Play are both brimming with apps developed specifically for the astronomical event. And individuals along a nearly 70-mile-wide stretch of land - known as “path of totality” - will be able to experience a total solar eclipse. Tim Drivas Photography/Getty ImagesOn Monday, humans across a total of 14 states (ranging from Oregon to South Carolina) will be in the line of sight of a solar eclipse.
