Classic Sky Map 2
authentic ratingA simple sky map praised because you just point your phone and it names the star or planet, handy while camping and during meteor showers. But many are annoyed by the small viewing area, star labels vanish when you zoom, and constellation figures take up half the screen and get in the way when you just want to ID an object. People who remember Google Sky miss it.
textAvg 3.81 vs storeAvg 4.73, a moderate and explainable gap. Reviews are specific: people compare it to Google Sky, use it camping and during Perseid meteor showers, honestly knock the small viewing area and lost labels on zoom. Praise is often short but complaints are detailed, no sign of faking.
