This app is definitely worth the $2 upgrade from the free version, contains all planets lacking from the free version (and yes, Pluto) in our solar system, far more stars, satellites and galaxies that can be easily located or favorited for later in the menus and is cheap for its value. Yes the calibration can drift or otherwise be a little bit off as others have stated but I would recommend this for what it offers at its price point. Definitely enhanced my stargazing experience.

I was using the free version on an older phone and I really love it. So then I got myself a new phone (Samsung A32 5G) and decided to get the paid version of the app. Unfortunately it's not working well. The objects on the screen are 15 degrees offset to the left compared to reality. I've tried doing that figure 8 sensor recalibration maneuver multiple times and it's still offset by a very visible amount. I hope you guys figure out what's up with that.

I liked the lite version, so I paid the 2 bucks for the "full" version. And to my surprise, there was a significant marging of error, in terms of location of planets, from the lite free version to the paid one. The moon really made it clear how off is the lite app. And then the paid version isn't as exact neither. Took it a while to realize it was off, and eventually aligned.

What's new

Dear Stargazer,
This version adds a new 8K resolution star field background when the AR camera is turned off (Settings > Display > Augmented Reality Camera). Enjoy!
Best,
