Star Chart

Great app, but has some inaccuracies

First, the bad: This app is a lot of fun, but I'm having trouble trusting everything it's telling me. Most of the really far away deep sky objects have very inaccurate distances displayed. The Andromeda galaxy, for instance, is labeled as being 630 LY away. It is, in fact, 2.5 million light years away. The Sombrero galaxy? The app says 630 LY again, but it's closer to 29 million. 630 LY ISS still very much within the Milky Way. That data is aggressively wrong. The good? Everything else. It's fun exploring the solar system, traveling to stars like Betelgeuse, visiting the dwarf planets, etc. I'm an astronomy nerd, so despite those glaring errors, it was still immensely exciting.

Not accurate

The sun and moon are all wrong Can’t really use this for star and planet viewing because it’s off Not worth the money

Disappointed.

I expected the cosmos and its scale instead i find myself a micro cosmos, small planets that do not show the true greatness of the universe. Moreover,the planets are made in a superficial, simple to see and information is limited. The rotation controls of the planets on OculusGo frustrating. Good for multi language support, i put two stars for this.

Once one of my favorite apps...

...used to love the orrery and the Apollo 11 experience. Now it won't install on my GearVR (Galaxy S9), despite repeated attempts. Very sad.
