The new and improved app not only brings you information about the stars, planets, and constellations in the sky, but it also lets you view satellites. The interface has been redesigned and is so beautiful that I would compare it to the beauty of the celestial landscape itself, giving you a breathtaking and educational experience.

If you want to go out stargazing with your nerdy friends, or take your partner on a romantic picnic (or in my case, the two are not mutually exclusive!) then Night Sky 2 is a must-have!

Wealth Of Knowledge

Whether you are out for a walk with your dog, or in the woods for a dedicated stargazing session, you can have a great evening of awe, wonder, and education using Night Sky 2. All you need to do is whip out your iPhone or iPad and point it toward the sky. You will be able to view all the stars and constellations through the astronomy app, whether or not it's a clear night.

Conversely, if you look up at the sky and see something you'd like to identify, you can simply point it at the object to determine whether it's a planet, star, or satellite. The Search and Location function will further enable you to look or a particular object. For instance, if you want to know where Polaris, The North Star is, simply type it into Night Sky 2 and the app will guide you to where it sits in the sky at that moment!

This app also provides you with meteorological information such as cloud cover, local temperature, wind speed, as well as visibility. This information is assimilated and converted into easy-to-read icons which inform you whether or not it's a good night for stargazing. By enabling Push Notifications on Night Sky 2, you can receive information regarding what the night has in store for you, ensuring that you go out on a night that is optimal for your goals!

Scanning And Sharing

This app works like a dream! It's been a pleasure to scan the sky with it. It keeps up with the speed at which you scan the sky and it also presents very good quality images. You can capture images of parts of the sky and share them with your friends and family on social networks or via email.
