Questions people ask.
Is Planet Pointer free?
Yes. The camera guide, the Sun, the Moon, all seven planets, the ISS and Hubble are free forever, plus two famous objects in every category. Pro is a one-time purchase (launch price $4.99) that unlocks every star, constellation, deep-sky object and satellite. There is no subscription.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Every position is calculated on your phone, so it works in the desert or at sea. The internet is only used to refresh satellite orbits and to download extra languages.
Does the app collect my location?
No. Your location is used on your phone to point you at the sky. It is never recorded or sent anywhere, and there is no account.
How accurate is it?
Planets and stars are calculated to a fraction of a degree. The limit is the phone compass, which is good to about five degrees, so identify mode tells you how sure it is instead of guessing. A figure-eight calibration is built in.
Can it show me the International Space Station?
Yes. The ISS is tracked live, the app points you to it, and it lists the next times it passes over you, including whether it will be visible.
Is it available for iPhone?
Planet Pointer is on Google Play for Android today. The iPhone version is coming to the App Store soon.
