Enjoy 3D Constellations with Star Chart for Android

There are plenty of Android apps designed for people who love the stars — Star Trek and Star Wars that is. But there are fewer apps available that help you learn what you’re seeing in the night sky. Until Star Chart for Android came along. Used by over 20 million people around the world, Star Chart is designed to tell you exactly what constellation you’re looking at when you gaze into the night sky. Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the Star Chart app.

What is Star Chart?
Star Chart tells you all of the constellations you’re looking at when you point your phone towards the sky. The app functions by using GPS technology to create a 3-D universe map on your phone. Whenever you use the app or wherever you are, the app can tell which stars and planets you’re seeing from there. You can even use the app in the daytime without problems.

What are Some of Star Chart’s Key Features?
Star Chart has many unique features. For example, if you point your phone downwards, you can see what the night sky looks like to people on the other side of the world from you. Sky Chart will also tell you where your astrological star sign is in the sky at the current moment. Additionally, you can use finger swipes to fly around the night sky wherever you’d like to go.

Star Chart Reviews
Star Chart has overwhelmingly positive reviews, with a 4.3-star rating on the Google Play store. Most users appreciated the high-resolution of the map that was provided, and they also found the app highly accurate. Some users didn’t appreciate how much battery the Star Chart app used, as well as noting how the app didn’t always find their correct locations. Despite these criticisms, however, nearly all of the app’s users gave it high marks.

While you’re using Star Chart the last thing you want to have happen is for a virus to download onto your computer. That’s where PSafe Total can be a lifesaver.
