This app has almost everything. This thing is absolutely worth the money. It has way more objects then say Star Walk 2 or Solar Walk 2. However, I do wish we could orbit stars, and see milky way galaxy as a whole (maybe even nearby galaxies) like on Solar Walk. I also wish there were more 3d renderings of the satellites, and also non earth satellites, and maybe also show the landing of rovers on the planets. I know it's all TLE live satellites, but it would be cool to have the older trajectories and older satellites. Either way this app has probably more than any other app out there, though I have yet to try Sky Safari.

Much more than just a "reference". This is just crazy! The amount of hard work and detail that is put into this app is incredible! I am a space nerd myself, and when I read about mercury, I was simply blown away by the amount of information there was! I learned that on November 11th, (8 days from my birthday) that I might be able to see a transit, where mercury passes by the sun. I am very exited about this app and can't wait to learn (A LOT) more. I am going to end this with a quote: "So much space, so little time..."

The best astronomy app on iOS. Update: Unfortunately, with the move to a subscription based model, I will not be continuing to use this app. If you use it every week, that might work for you, but not for an occasional user. I’m disappointed, but oh well. ————— This is hands down the BEST astronomy app on iOS. It might have the flashiest UI, or glittering effects, but it's still darn pretty and is the most feature packed app of its kind. I've bought almost all of them, including Redshift and Distant Suns, but this one is the only one that remains on my phone. To the devs, thank you. Sincerely. To everyone else, you'd be doing yourself a disservice to pass this one up.

Best Astronomy App. This app has helped me learn so much and reignite a curiosity about the stars and cosmos with me. Thankful for the awesome developer that is always pushing updates and is responsive to the community.

A Short Update. Here are some things for a update 1. Add historical constellations also 2. Add nations adding nations when we search it up we can see the borders 3. Add exoplanets it’s a great idea to add those. I rate this a 5/5 because it’s a good astronomical app

The very best sky app. I tried all of the fancy apps and they are all complicated and cluttered. This app is packed with features, consistently updated and is easy to use. Would buy again. Also they sponsor Liftoff podcast which I like to listen to.

Very incredible mobile planetarium. This is a awesome way to explore our universe it’s packed with lots of things to both see and explore great job to the developers please keep improving

The universe in your hand.. This app, Luminos, is absolutely amazing to me in how thorough it is for those interested in astronomy. I am not affiliated with the developer in any way and am just a retiree with a nice telescope and a passion for stargazing. But I am so satisfied with the quality and user-friendliness of Luminos that I felt compelled to let others know that it is well worth every penny of the cost. I have had planetarium software on my desktop before but Luminos out shines them all and provides the convenience of a handheld app. From my armchair I can plan the evenings stargazing targets, check to see where and when my favorite targets will be in my limited view like the planets, space station, Messier galaxies, and meteor showers. The more that I use the app, the more I find to see.

Coolest app I’ve seen so far. This app is thee coolest use of technology I’ve ever seen. I’ve read about the North Star for years and now I finally no where it is. I’m def getting telescope to watch for other phenomena now!!!

Great update. This app just keeps getting better and better this is the real deal. Fantastic update thanks for all the hard work it shows. With each update it gets gets better and better. Thanks your hard work shows.

Difficult to use. It looks great. However, i do not know how to use it with my equipments. It would be great if the app gives some guides. I still wonder whether this app is suitable for a deep space photographer. I still need some time to learn.

I didn’t order this app. I have no idea how this app got on my phone. First thing I knew about it was when I received the email receipt. While looking around the app, I noticed that tapping the home button never worked- instead it thought I had selected some obscure star that happened to be right next to the home button. Can you tell me how to give this app back and get a refund? Has anyone else had this app appear on their phone WITHOUT ORDERING IT? I was wondering if I got hacked or something because I don’t have kids and my wife does not use my phone. The ONLY way the purchase could have occurred would be perhaps a caffeine induced double tap while perusing the app on the App Store or a side effect of an ulnar nerve problem that makes two of my fingers numb. Anyway, I’ve had it way too long for any attempt to get a refund , plus I’ve used it. No biggie, I pay more for a bottle of wine, and the wine is gone after one use! Thanks for the reply.

Love it, definitely would recommend a purchase.. Listen this app is exactly what your looking for If you love space, and space facts, own or plan to own a telescope, or just curious about what’s above your head at the moment this is the app for you. The price tag might seem steep but the information value, easy to use interface and level of stellar catalogs you get is worth it. Besides being vast in data this app is very informative, visually pleasing and a grate night sky navigation tool for novice and experienced astronomers. Telling you direction, ascension and magnitude of celestial bodies and stellar objects. On top of that there is an entire satellite catalog for you to track and view. It also has built-in compatibility for most rotor based scopes so you can keep speedy object in view. This app is a definite must have if you are an aspiring astronomer or astrophotographer.

Best Astronomy app ever!. Absolutely breathtaking views of innumerable stars, as well as planets and galaxies in the night sky! This one actually works: when I point it at the moon, it detects it (most other apps confuse east with west and vice-versa). App gives helpful info about any star or planet you click on. Just downloaded so I’m sure there’s a lot left to be discovered. Absolutely worth the price; I highly recommend Luminos for all astronomy lovers!

Bait and switch. I paid for Luminos and now the developer is switching to a subscription model. I understand a developer wanting a continuing revenue stream, but this developer is moving features behind the paywall that I along with every other purchaser of Luminos already paid for already. That is not fair. We paid to purchase this app and are now being told “whoops the features you contracted for are now only available if you subscribe and pay continuously”. It would be understandable if the developer was providing only new features behind the subscription paywall, but that is not what is happening here. The developer is taking features like “orbit” and “land” that were included in our original purchase, and moving them behind the subscription paywall. That is unacceptable. Everyone who purchased Luminos should give the new app one star ratings until the developers rectify these issues.

A MUST HAVE APP FOR STARGAZERS. I have been using this wonderfully crafted app for 5 years and it has never steered me wrong with my astrophotography hobby. Satellite passes, conjunctions of planets and comet passes have been spot on. I highly recommend this app for anyone interested in the night sky. Excellent quality app, always updated and beautifully designed. The Apple Watch companion is superb too.

THE Best Astronomy App!. It has been a while since I left a review for Luminos, so I thought I would take a moment to do so now as I sip on my coffee. This is the best astronomy app out there - worth every penny. Other apps will charge the same amount, may go on sale from time to time, but a year or two down the road will put out a new version and will make you pay all over again for any updates. Not the case with Luminos. Pay once, get free updates. It’s that straightforward. The rendering and ease of use are amazing. This app will not disappoint you!

Search problems. Why do I get no results when I search for such commonly known objects as the Large Magellanic Cloud (and various others)? And why is there no message when there are no search results? It gives the appearance of not doing anything. For the price, I had hoped to at least find some of these items that are findable in much cheaper or free apps. The User Guide should also be more detailed.

beyond great--celestial. The amount of information clearly presented and cleanly accessible is dumfounding. But this is is no knowledge avalanche. The more you want the more you get, the less you want, the less you get. It's clean. The breadth astonishes and delights me. For example, there's a bright star in Scorpius, theta, whose name, Girtab, Luminos casually lets you know is from . . . Sumerian! And it just means "scorpion." But, Luminos, adds, it has another name, Sargas, also from Sumerian--and no one knows what Sargas means. It's like being out on a dead clear night with a great astronomer. Who knows it all, loves it all, and finds it all fascinating, down to the tiniest little star-wart. But who tells you only what might interest you and only what you're likely to understand. I see that the developers have (unsurprisingly, considering their app's riches) the great good sense to let me Edit Review. Which, as use continues and knowledge (I do hope) grows, I plan to continue to do.

Update erased mount info. I made the mistake of updating to the cloud storage version before taking my AP mount into the field with my iPhone 8+ running ios13. It erased all the saved IP/port etc info for the network connection and I didn’t have the info with me. The only reason I use this rather than Sky Safari is the superior mount support, so this poor experience (no QA/attention to detail?) left me disappointed enough that I will not be recommending it

Excellent program!. Luminos is one of my go to astronomy programs. It has a simple interface, nice presentation and is very easy to use. I really like the ability to download multiple catalogs and get extensive data about celestial objects. Would recommend.

Luminos is great. I have been using different various apps. I have two telescopes that I use and two other apps to interface with them. I am setting up this app to talk to my main telescope. I like all the things this app does and the sats. Can be flown on around the earth. Many other things too. Thanks B

Soperb. This is a wonderful app, comprehensive, easy to use, truly well implemented, and runs well even on an old iPad. Search for NGC 1672 in other "Pro" iPhone or iPad astronomy apps, zoom in, and... nothing! But Luminos shows you the galaxy and provides plenty of data as well. The "Tonight" planner is well done providing the results in a graphical form, sorting entries by time of night or magnitude. Of course you can select any date from a calendar. There is a wealth of information thoughtfully provided. For example, if a selected object is below the horizon, a message appears indicating how long before the object will rise above the horizon. There are so many great features. This app is a labor of love, and it shows! BTW, questions are quickly answered by the developers.

Sensational. This is my ‘go to’ app for astrophotography. I can’t imagine how much work has been put into developing this, but one thing is for sure, it has been built from passion and a real interest in astronomy and from doing something that is way cooler than anything else. Thank you!

Fun app. This is a very fun and informative app. Most features can be learned simply by tapping the buttons on the screen. Tapping on a star, planet or any object on the screen will bring up the name and basic info about it. If that is not enough, go to the browser then support and select user's guide and there are professional informative videos on how to operate the app. The Video on the basics is slightly more then 5 min. So it won't waste your time. Selecting a planet, the app will fly through the solar system and orbit the selected planet. Features on it can be selected for more information. Or select a satellite and go "ride" it, So you can see the earth from that perspective. Fun to use and a serious astronomy tool also. My favorite astronomy app. I found the Andromeda galaxy a couple of nights ago using binoculars and was able to look up all the information on this app. It was really a delight to find and learn something new. Update: I am still using this app a year later. I just found comet 46P Wirtanen, tonight using the app. I'm still using this app the most for looking at the night sky with binoculars. I have tried two other apps, but they just don't work well for me.

Simply Amazing. I am very happy to have discovered this app. It is just enough when you want it and more than enough when you need it. Easy to navigate. I am a amateur astronomer. This app has already added to my knowledge and I am excited to see how it grows. Yes it’s more money than the others but it is well worth it if you are looking for more than just a hey what’s that star application and truly want to learn. I love the daily list of objects and especially love the satellite tracking. Haven’t found the starlink yet but I’m pretty sure it’s in here. The sale was why I pulled the trigger and thank you for that!

Easy to use, pretty. Haven’t had an opportunity to take this app and my outside, cloudy, have been exploring the interface and options, having owned nearly all previous apps this was well worth the purchase, a plus is no in-app purchases!

Wow. Really responsive, very useable, with some wonderful unexpected features. While overly glowing review, I don't represent the developers, I just find this to be a great little app. I wish my father was still alive because he would enjoy this.

Quenches all my appetite for astronomy. Amazing app, Never imagined so much information could be made available to amateur astronomers from beginners to the most advanced, This app is fun especially with a telescope. It is enjoyable and loaded with data to keep you busy for a lifetime.

Amazing detail. Luminos is the kind digital orrery I dreamed of having as a child before the advent of devices like the iPad. This app is awesome for viewing stars, nebulae, and other deep space objects. It really shines if what you want is a nice look around our own solar system. Orbit any planet or moon and view surface features in detail. Surface texture quality is good and most planetoids have label data for major geological features. Datasets provided by the Minor Planet Center and celestrak can be downloaded and updated automatically. This is a great feature if you’re curious about minor objects (man-made satellites, asteroids, comets, &c). The interface quality is great and view settings can be tuned with detail to match your individual preferences. Automatic updates for catalog data is a very nice feature!

Just getting better all the time…. Every time I open this app, I am reminded of the genius minds that were able to put so much into such a tiny space; am grateful to John Stephen and Brian Albers for continued interest in bacon-wrapping this most excellent app. Nî Hâo, and Namaste !

Where are the instructions?. This is one of the most beautiful programs that I have seen. It would be nice to have better instructions. Flying around in space is fun, but better instructions would help me enjoy it more.

Really bad interface. This app gets 2 stars because it is, when you get it to work, really cool. If I were to rate this app based on the user interface I would give it less than 1 star. Simply put, the user interface is garbage. Too hard to use and an accidental tap will focus on a star or some other object and you have spend a few minutes clearing the mistake. One of the coolest features is the motion control. Simply point your device at the sky to figure out what star you are looking for. The problem is activating the motion control. I have been poking around for about an hour, still can't remember how to find it. Maybe it's no longer part of the app? Wish I could get a refund.

Love this app, but I would it if you added the ability to center on objects while in orbit mode. I love this app; it's better in some areas than Sky Safari, but I would love it if you added the ability to center in on objects while in orbit mode.

Beautiful app, but can't control my iOptron mount. I'm a bit of a sucker for astronomy apps, so when Luminos sponsored a podcast I occasionally listen to, I checked it out. It is a beautiful app and obviously a labor of love, and easily worth the asking price (and more!). The only issue I have is that, while it appears to have all the necessary settings to control my iOptron SmartEQ Pro mount (via the iOptron StarFi adapter), it always says that it didn't get a response from the mount after connecting. The same settings work fine on the "big name" astronomy app, so I'm not sure why it fails with Luminos.

By far the best. I have studied the stars since 1963. I have used many astronomical software packages since then on Windows, Mac, and IOS platforms. This is by far the best and most complete. Its celestial presentations are stunning. The number of stars in its data base far exceed anyone’s need. And it is the easiest to take out in the field and use. Used it successfully in the northern and southern U.S., Sicily,, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Morocco, Galapagos, South Africa, and Cape Horn. I wish there was a 6th star in the rating scale. It deserves it.

luminos9. luminos9 is the best astronomy app I've ever had, and I have several I thought Distant Suns was good, but it's got nothing on Luminos9. Well worth your time. Excellent for planet positioning, and stars near and far. Perfect for satellite spotters,comets,etc. Can't be beat

Fantastic tool!. This application is so powerful. As an amateur I am able to view, track and monitor celestial object I could only dream about a few short years ago.

Wow. This is a great app for the amateur astrophysicist in all of us. I’ll spend an hour or two with my boyfriend or homeboys just chlllin outside star (& planet!)—gazing. It’s truly delightful! I especially like learning about constellations and celestial bodies that I have always known existed but never knew the actual specifics of. If you’re a hardcore scientist, you will most definitely enjoy the nitty-gritty minutiae & super specific knowledge of space you can gain with this app; and if you’re just someone who enjoys the occasional PBS galactic special, then you’ll simply enjoy the (literal) cosmic amount of information at your fingertips. Major kudos to the creative design team—the artwork is majorly incredible, especially how ancient constellations are grafted over the sky, painting a picture of how our ancestors wove together stories and portraits of heroes & monsters just by looking upward. Enjoy friends!

Delete, Delete, Delete. A few days after downloading this app, I sat at my iPad and deleted several apps that I had been utilizing for years. This app replaced them all and for less money than the others combined.

I've used a lot of them and this is the best for iOS. Learned about this app through the six colors space podcast Liftoff. It has one of the easiest user experiences to plan an evening of stargazing. I especially love the satellite tracking and notifications.

The best paid astronomy app. I’ve been using this and a few other paid astronomy apps for years and this is my favorite. For one thing this company doesn’t keep asking for more money each year. I paid for the app and I’ve gotten a ton of updates for free over the years. They keep updating the app and I don’t have to pay more. I had a few support questions early on and the developer answered them thoroughly and quickly. I like the UI. I find the app intuitive and full featured. I can find anything I’m looking for easily. I use the app on its own and also with a telescope.

Great App. Had this app for as long as I can remember. I use for causal observation, and is one reason I bought a telescope. I was a little disappointed right after I bought the scope as the ecliptic was backward and the tile was off but deleted and reinstalled works great again.

Excellent. Easy to learn & use. Worth the cost especially considering the frequent (and unobtrusive) updates. As a photographer, extremely useful to plan sun positions (planning specific shots & positions).

What An Amazing App. I don’t normally pop for apps costing the price of this one but after a night in the backyard playing with the 5-6 other frustrating sky apps I have, I decided to take the plunge. What a difference! This app has such a depth of information it is in a class by itself. I am looking forward to many years of enjoyment using this app.

Bait and Switch. This is a good app. However, I bought it (it wasn’t cheap) because the developer said in his description that people shouldn’t have to constantly pay to upgrade. Now he’s going to a monthly fee system. That’s changing the rules in the middle of the game. I honestly feel like he lied and I will be moving to another app. There’s lots of really good astronomy apps to use. The developer has said he doesn’t owe anyone an app for life, but he sold the app with the assurance of continued support. I guess personal integrity isn’t as important as cash flow.

Very Good - could be better. Nice looking app but not for the amateur astronomer at the scope because it doesn't take configurability seriously. I know some reviews laid the simplicity but at at this price it should be a Pro level app. When your at the telescope and observing, the last thing you want to do is fiddle thru menus or wish you can do certain things and thus have to open a separate app. It's about saving time to appreciate the views - so being able to configure this type of app to your liking is crucial. I support this work and appreciate it - and it has my business. But still not replacing my other iPhone app at the scope.

Great app and one of the best available. Love the constant updates and improvements which have made it my go to astronomy app. From the great layouts to the awesome graphics and the overall ease of use, this app just oozes quality. The last thing to mention, there are no in app purchases which I think most people appreciate, thank you devs !!

Luminos. Just incredible! It’s been years since I’ve been involved with astronomy and got SkyView app for my iPhone because it is so simple and enjoyable and will jump start you ! but I wanted more than point and look so to speak don’t get me wrong it’s a keeper but this luminos app goes into such a dimension that you feel like you are being an astronomer you can’t beat the $25 fun entertainment!

Great App. I initially had issues with the app and had to reset my settings. After that bubble the app is working great and I love it. It is worth the money if you love stargazing and want to know what’s happing in your portion of the sky. I first used it while on a Caribbean Cruise and had issues because of spotty internet connection. I like how I can track what I’ve seen . I keep learning how to use the app every time I use it.

Did you know that you can earn 25 USD from our site just by registering? Get $25 for free by joining Payoneer!

Best astronomy app I’ve used. One of the smoothest astronomy apps out there, well worth the 50 Aussie dollars I paid. This app covers everything that can be seen, and a lot of stuff that can’t.

Loving it!. There is sooo much to this app!

The best. The only app you need

The Best APP in the store. Many years in Astronomy hobby, learning from books and fellow the Carl Sagan with series Cosmos, this is only you need to easily understand the how big is it, the space the only thing I found is the app don’t communicate with SkyQlink wifi, Celestron 4/5SE, brilliant app, highly recommend.

Luminos is brilliant. I have had a telescope for many years & during this time bought a lot of books and planetarium software to learn about the planets, star names & deep sky objects. Then I came across Luminos and could not believe how good it was. I can only say it is absolutely brilliant. It is the only program I use now, the wealth of information is incredible. Thank you Luminos for all the hard work and information you have put into this App most importantly everything works and the controls cover everything you need, unlike some other App's than are disappointing. This is excellent and highly recommended.

Awesome app. Of all my many astronomy apps across PC, Mac and IOS this is by far my favourite!!

Luminous 9.5.1. Simply the best astronomy app out there - and I have used many and written others. However that is not to say, improvements couldn’t be made. I would like to see moon shadows on Saturn, more moons labelled on zoomed home views of the outer planets, and better accuracy of the positions of the minor moons - some of which are quite inaccurate (e.g. On the opposite side of the planet). Bottom line: the speed, accuracy (for the most part), functionality, wealth of data and intuitive interface make this the one to beat. Keep it up John & Brian!

Love this app!. Don’t think twice, I know it seems like a bit of an expense however, as a novice star gazer that doesn’t understand its full functioning, it’s still so worth it. I only wish is I can buy it and send it as a gift to others, I love this app!

Very good indeed. No astronomy app does everything but this goes very close. What is more it is fun to use and the display excellent. Highly recommended even as a supplement to other astro apps.

I love it. I'm only an amateur star gazer but this helps identify all the stars I can see. Fantastic, more features than you can poke a stick at. This version is a huge upgrade. Recommended.

Such a detailed app!. I’m an astronomer and i use this app every time i go out, it’s incredibly detailed and helps me so much. Even though it costs a fair bit, it’s 100% worth it. Amazing.

Awesome App. I've been using this app for several weeks now and find it invaluable for stargazing. The additional information available on stars, nebulas and planets is fantastic.

Great app. I use this a lot for night photography or when I'm lost and out of data range years later it's still great and getting better

AWESOME. Great piece great content what's more to ask for an app it's so complete it's amazing I dusted off my telescope and started using it agian thanks to this app. Keep it up!!

Out of this world. Since I was a child I've been captivated by the sky, stars and comets, and planets. This app is simply amazing. More than a guide for recognising objects in the night sky, it has opened my mind by taking me into space itself. In this virtual space flight, it is possible to experience and conceptualise where we float in the universe. What a humbling thing that is, and it has changed for me, how I think of life here on earth.

Best astronomy app around. Have downloaded 15+ astronomy related apps. This is by far my preferred one. Lots of features. Great search facilities. Easy to use. Plenty of options to tweak the display. Loads of information. An amateur astronomer ... in the making!

Has features a popular paid app doesn’t. Great program very fast and detailed with lots of features some not available elsewhere

Great. I have tried other night sky apps and this is one of the best

The BEST Astronomy app on iPad bar none. I have tried most all the other apps but this is the best of them all.

#1 astronomy app!. This has got to be one of the best astronomy apps on the iPad. Where do I even begin? There are so many features it's quite overwhelming to review luminos.. All I have to say.. if you are the slightest interested in astronomy, a casual observer of the night sky's or and experienced sky watcher download this app now!

How has everyone not gone crazy over this app already?. Luminos is amazing! So many features in one app. I have a telescope at home and it is so great to know the times to take it out and what I’m looking at. Even without a telescope it is so fabulous for exploring outer space from your own house. Sometimes it is a bit confusing but only because it has so many features. I wish more people knew about it!

The Astronomy App to end them all. The most fully featured and extraordinary piece of software written to help observe our solar system and beyond, from any angle and any time frame. Beautifully built and is always improving, at no extra cost, no in-app purchases and no paying for new versions. Love the new Meteor shower feature, and can't wait to see space missions included in the future. Thank you for your hard work, I often spend hours just lost looking and wondering about all sorts of astronomical facts and views, have spotted awesome conjunctions that no one in the mainstream press have noted, I've planned lunar eclipses with them, I could go on and on, I just love it. I would happily buy it again!!

Love stars. I absolutely love it

Brilliant. This app is fantastic. Tracking satellites and other objects is great.

One of the best. Pleasantly surprised by this one… A full-featured astronomy app to compete with the best, and written by one guy according to the 'about' box. Just one small thing… When you click on settings, it's not immediately obvious that you can scroll down to find more settings. So at first, I didn't think there was a way to tone down the Milky Way graphic, amongst other things. Perhaps that's one of the drawbacks of iOS's disappearing scroll bars. Anyway, I've only been playing with the app for a short time, and already I'm liking it a lot. Time will tell if it becomes my favourite astronomy app.

Stony. Great app easy to use everything you need in a astronomy app well worth it

Best astronomy app. I have downloaded several apps and keep going back to this one.

Useful in everyday life. I would see bright objects in the sky and wonder what they were. After getting this app I don’t need to do that anymore. This is the best star app I’ve seen so far. Awesome even if you’re not into star watching.

..... Awesome... My 4year old loves learning with me... Worth the download...

Binoculars decimal FOV. Great product, and thank you for adding binoculars to the equipment list. There is one small problem - it is not possible to add decimal degrees to the binoculars field of view. Only whole numbers can be entered. I expect that this is an oversight and it would great if it can be corrected

Amazing!!!. I recommend this app to anyone who even has a slight interest in astronomy. This is only app that does everything all in one. You don't have to buy several apps to look at planets or constellations. I extremely recommend you buy this app!!?

Gorgeous app. This is a gorgeous app. The Motion Tracking mode is like a window through the light pollution at my home. Prompt support too.

The best!. I have a few astronomy apps like star walk and sky safari etc... And this one blows them out of the water! This is like "the mother" of the astronomy apps, with data that updates by the second, lots of info, it's amazing. Im just overwhelmed by it all. Even allows you to land on another planet and view the stars from that planet!! Wow impressive and breathtaking. The Star walk app is aesthetically more beautiful, and has a better atmosphere, but this Luminos app is more serious and filled with features and information. Love it!

The app rock. It just works

Excellent. Easy to use for all levels. Educative, beautifully crafted, opens up the field of astronomy with a complete set of information that satisfies most needs. I am very pleased with the purchase

Fantastic. Now I can go anywhere Wow

5+. Awesome app to use. New update is very friendly. Fun to play with during the day & gets down to business at night.

Just brilliant.. One of the main reasons I went back to an iphone was because of this app. Simply the best overall that Ive used. 5 stars for sure.

Great app but.... Almost every update wipes out the saved site data (telescopes, eyepieces, reducers and Barlow). Have to re-enter them and it's getting a bit tedious with every update. Other than that, the app works great... Update...app is now working GREAT...luv it

Great App again thank you. Everything super great with this app, but was thinking if you guys can add just very small update on it with backround mesmerizing space music🎶 some kind of evolving pads wouldve make app more greater

Thank you!🎼🛸. Thank you for all the work, time and endless energy spent making this app the most excitingly educational astronomy app currently available. The amount of numerical data alone makes this app #1 the other applications are also next level so I would highly recommend this app

Just “WOW”. The universe in ones hands. Some info on exo-planets would be great but otherwise pretty darned inclusive.

Super App!!. Great App with lots of Details & Info,Awesome precision of Planets,Stars,Galaxies,Satellites!! A must have for the Amateur or Pro Astronomer!!

Luminos. Hi there. I am an ameteur journeyman astronomer, and a user of several apps on my phone to learn the night sky! Often I thought that it was me, after all it couldn’t be the app could it, so confusing finding the stars in the night, to compare them to the image on the iPad and therefore, to learn about said stars. Then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,along came Luminos ,,,,,,,,well, sometimes,,,,,,,,, you DO get what you pay for! The moment that I opened up Luminos, and raised my iPad to the night sky,,,,,,,,,,I chuckled out loud, the sky was absolutely in-sink with my iPad, WOW, that’s an outstanding application!, six apps later! If you are at all curious about the wonders of the night sky, do not hesitate, purchase luminos! Objects so easy to find! So easy to compare,in the night sky, so easy to learn! You will be a student of the cosmos from the very first breathe you hold!

What happened?. You finally did it. The last upgrade ruined what a great app. It doesn’t work anymore.

Luminos. Good app but freezes every so often on my XR. Shouldn’t be doing that I think. Not in a great phone like that.🤔 (getting more use to it. overall ok. :). )

Luminos. If your looking for light entertainment another app might be more suitable but if your serious about learning or are a professional this is a great app, it takes some learning to use all the features but a very well done app, unfortunately I don’t have a telescope so I cannot take advantage of all it has to offer. At a quick glance I might have erroneously jump to conclusions and may have mistakenly thought it was not a worthwhile app but I would have been sadly mistaken, I am glad I did not jump to conclusion and I am slowly discovering how excellent this app is, very nicely done, thanks.

Beautiful and powerful. This is an amazing App for anyone interested in Astronomy and who want to go that little bit farther than most other apps or planetarium tools support. The ability to fly along with satellites and to land on the surfaces of asteroids, planets, etc, allow us to travel to these amazing worlds in the only way that our current technology allows. The tools available are very easy to use and master. The ability to update all the various satellite data and data for comets and asteroids is an exciting and useful feature. There is very little that this wonderful App can't do, and I'm sure that even that will be taken care of soon enough. The appearance of the sky during daylight and at night are attractively rendered and very realistic. Everyone I have shown Luminos to are blown away by it, and you will be too. Well done, Luminos!

Best Darn App. Nicely Done , its nice to see integrity put bck into a app , no disappointment here . Way to go !!!

This is a well crafted app I love it.. Simply the best astronomy app out there. Also constantly updated. Thanks

Beautiful. An exceptional app! Beautifully executed and packed with features. It's a bit of a learning curve for the astronomy novice, but worth the purchase to grow in to. For the avid skywatcher, it is a necessity. Highly recommend.

Really Great Application. I'm not sure where I can across a review of this app, but I figured I'd give it a try as the other program I use, Stellarium, is not as fully featured on iOS devices as it is on computers. Luminos is incredibly heavy on the features, has a huge wealth of information about the night sky and the objects you can see up there. The lists and challenges section is a really nice touch as well, being able to track what you've seen, when and your notes sort of really does away with an observing log book. If you have an iOS device and you're an amateur (or professional) astronomer this is the app to get!

Keep up the great development. Fantastic app. If you're serious about astronomy then this is the app for you. It has all of the features that most apps have and boat loads more. Ability the control the timescale, track thousands of asteroids, comets and satellites is brilliant. Scary to know what is floating around out there but brilliant to present. The ability to fly to other objects and see the skies from other angles is stunning. The ability to see Hubble photos and some 2.5 million stars simply makes this a one stop shopping for all Why are yo still reading this review ? You should be downloading this now instead!!

Learning Very cool app. Way cool lots and lots lots of information

Best Astronomy App. Luminos is not only beautiful, it is a complete astronomy package I use every day.

Useless. Compass and gyro function, which they appear to call motion tracking, doesn’t work. I point it at the sky, and it doesn't orient itself to the actual starfield in the sky. Waste of money

Coolest Ever. So many cool options

All custom settings gone after update. I had multiple custom telescope settings for my camera lenses, all gone. Why?!

Stunning. This is fascinating. I saw Star Wars in 77 and was memorized by all things beyond earth. This ap feeds my curiosity, desire to learn and fascinates me consistently. I love this technology.

Continuously Improving. I’ve enjoyed this app for 6 years. The improvements addressed the needs of this user.

Not stable, not what I expected - NO REFUND. Buyer beware. Tried app for one day and was disappointed in that it crashed every time when looking up Jim Kaler star data, night vision mode doesn’t work for wiki star data, not intuitive to use, etc. I just didn’t like the app after being a long time Sky Safari user. Found that the app is a non-refundable type. Never had a problem with refunds - ever. Wouldn’t have bothered with the review if I wasn’t ripped off for over $25.

Just started using this app.. Looks beautiful and seems easy to navigate.

Outstanding. Great app!! I get a little motion sick sometimes jumping around the solar system. Great learning tool and very entertaining.

Great. I love this app; allows me to see things in the sky I never knew existed

Love the app but some suggestions. I would love to see object names by default next to objects with sky view as they move along the screen.

Potential. Has potential to be cool if I could figure out the app. Someone please help me.

The most amazing app. The most informational packed App ever.

Great app. Easy to use, doesn't crash. Lots of good info.

Space Stargirl. Out of this World !!!!! Rating 5 stars no make it a Billion Stars!

Best astronomy app. My go-to app for all of my nighttime viewing.

What gives. I read about all these discoveries on Facebook, I check them out on Luminos...they’re not there!

Great App!. Incredible features and surprisingly intuitive! The layers of details and info are endless. It's clear that these developers deeply care about this app.

Much slower than competing products. Takes up to 1 minute to determine location, motion, etc. Downloaded both Stellarium and GoSkyWatch - which both were immediately responsive. This purchased app will be deleted ASAP.

What Happened?. I used to move my phone across the sky and see the stars and planets. Now I move my phone and nothing. What happened to this app?

Really cool. Would be great if they added some audio tours

Incredible. Fantastic app, and user friendly. Among my favorites.

Great app so many features. I really love this app there is so much information I haven’t even scratched the surface.

To travel the Stars. Incredible app, What else can I say, Amazing!

Fantastic tool. Love it

Amazing app!. This app is easy to use and my kids and have grown closer to the stars by knowing more about what they see.

Best astronomy app on the market. I am always amazed at the information I get from this app. Very well written.

Great app. Sorry to see it will be discontinued in 2023.

WOW!. Very addictive and informative too. A little expensive, but deffinately worth the money.

Outstanding!. This app has served me well for years. I’ve seen things I never would have noticed before. I love it.

Outstanding app. Explore the universe from you chair

The best app available for astronomy !!. Please make it work with iOptron CEM 60

Enjoying this is very cool. I have learned so much about real time space thanks well worth the money spent on this app

Detail. Love this app very detailed oriented a lot of information

A nice surprise how good this is.. I saw Luminos yesterday in the App store and decided to try it. Overall I am very impressed and this represents excellent value with great features at a sensible price. The UCAC4 Database is exactly what I needed and the presentstion os clear and customisable. The ride along with Satellites adds another perspective that makes it fun for the kids to use and learn. 5 stars and thank you.

The best ¡¡¡¡¡. This the best apps for user and classroom

Thanks Liftoff Podcast. I heard about this app from the early Liftoff Podcast episodes. The app is intuitive, well rounded, and thorough.

Well done. Very beautiful app , well done. U tube videos to help learn the app although it is very intutive. I am highly recommending this to anyone who has an interest in Astronomy.

Begun interesting. Easy to work and educational

Great App. Best app I've used. A little expensive but well worth the money.

Best App. This is by far one of the best apps I’ve used. Great and accurate information! I’ve learned so much.

Best planetarium program. Luminos is the primary planetarium program for all my astronomy and astrophotography planning and observing. Excellent program for novice and advanced astronomy enthusiasts.

Good app. Seems very good to me . Ok give this app 5 . stars ✨

Great Astro App. Fun exploring the stars using Luminos. Found Caldwell 72 tonight. Beautiful! Satellites are visible with orbital plots. Travel to Mars and land on the surface with ease. Educational and good fun!

Love it!. Really nice, intuitive app. Great for telescope control too.

Best Astronomy app ever!!!!!!!!!. This app is crazy!!! 1000s of deep sky objects excluding NGC, over 113+ million stars, incredibly detailed views of all major objects in or solar system, ISS and satellite tracking and so much more. This truly is the best Astronomy app ever.

Outstanding!. Love this app! Has everything you need.

Bliss !!!. A work of art! A masterpiece ! Stunning !!!

Love it. Absolutely amazing app!

Wow!. Just purchased but really impressed with quality of presentation, smoothness, and depth of information.
