iPhone App of the Day: Starmap

Are you into space, astrology, and all that kind of junk? If you are (I have to admit, I have a telescope myself) then you’ll want to check out the Starmap app from Frederic Descamps.

Starmap is ‘the ideal stargazing companion’. With it, you can find constellations you’re looking for, planets, shooting star zones and more. In a nutshell it’s a complete planetarium in the palm of your hand!

All planet and constellation info is available in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. Two-thumbs up for the multilingual support in this one.

Starmap contains complete info on the following:

  • 120,00 visible stars
  • 200 main stars with names and more details
  • 150 galaxies and nebulae

Cool Features:

  • Get your viewpoint automatically with the help of the accelerometer
  • Adjust the sky and stars brightness on your screen to match your actual viewing conditions
  • Comes complete with full coordinates for all celestial bodies
  • Pinch and zoom into charts like you do with photos!

This is a great app for any stargazer. At $11.99 it might be a tad on the pricy side for the casual observer… But needless to say it’s a solid app.
