Why We Recommended It
Pocket Universe 2, a staff-favorite astronomy app that normally costs $2.99, is currently free on iOS — making this the perfect moment to turn your iPhone or iPad into a personal planetarium. Unlike many sky-gazing tools that overwhelm you with data, Pocket Universe 2 focuses on clarity and speed: point your device upward to instantly identify stars, planets, the ISS, and satellites, or use the time-travel feature to preview celestial events from your couch. It’s like having a knowledgeable astronomy buddy in your pocket, guiding you through the night sky without the jargon. The app’s Explore mode highlights what’s worth looking for tonight, from solar activity to Moon phases, and the widgets keep sunset and Moon times on your Home Screen. Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or a curious beginner, the intuitive interface and rich object details make learning the sky effortless. With macOS-style customization, night vision mode, and live satellite tracking, this is the only astronomy app you’ll ever need — and at this price, it’s a no-brainer. Grab it now before the deal ends.

User Reviews
I am no expert but I am a huge space and astronomy enthusiast. One of my really good friends is an Astro physicist and professor and he has taught me a fair bit over the years. I love being able to take this app out and share with friends or family various things I have learned from him. This app is incredibly easy to use and very helpful in finding whatever information you are looking for as it relates to the sky. The interactive map that let you point the camera at the sky to find planets and stars is very cool. Great app I would recommend to anyone interested in space whether a beginner or expert. I would buy this app again.

This used to be my favorite app, but I finally have to give up the ghost. I've been frustrated by this app for several years now. When I point my phone towards an object, for instance Venus tonite, I have to turn the face of the phone about 45° to the right of the planet in order to have it come into view on the screen. It's been like this for years. I don't understand. I used to be able to just point my phone at anything and find out what it was. I used to look forward to reading the news every month but now there's nothing there but a little square listing the super moons for 2024 and that's it! I finally had to download a different star app which I don't like as much but at least if I point my phone at a star it'll tell me what it is instead of me having to point my phone away from the object to try to find out what it is, I guess this has largely gone into the orphan app bin. :-( It was a great app! But it's just not usable and hasn't been for a long time.
