Free stargazing app

SkyView Lite is a free reference app that allows users to identify heavenly bodies through their mobile phones. This software instantly identifies stars, constellations, and planets you may see. It can even point out satellites, such as the Hubble and the International Space Station. It also provides information, such as the name, radius, and distance from the earth of the space object you see. Be warned, however, as sometimes the app shows inaccurate data.

How do you use the app?

Stargazing is a great pastime. It is not only relaxing, but it also educates you. Plus, with the emergence of astronomy apps, you can take this pastime to the next level. SkyView Lite is one of those apps that you can use as you gaze at the heavenly bodies. As noted, the app is simple to use.

The app lets you see the line that any object follows in space. Moreover, you can see what its position was or will be at a given time. It also provides notifications for upcoming stargazing events

The app has an augmented reality feature to allow its users to spot objects in the sky, whether day and night. It also has a night mode, preserving your night vision with red and green night mode filters. Best of all, this app works offline, so it does not need an internet connection for it to work.

Also, there are times when the app doesn't work properly and only keeps spinning, never settling into a correct location.
