Sky Map is a mobile atlas that will be appreciated by astronomy lovers, as it makes it possible to explore the starry sky while reading brief information about any celestial object of interest directly on the screen of your Android mobile device. Take a look from any angle at a two-dimensional model of the Galaxy, find familiar constellations of stars, consider the planets of the solar system, their satellites, and other celestial bodies. The interface of the program is convenient and friendly, there are two control options to choose from - using the usual taps on the screen or using the accelerometer of a mobile device. By the way, it must be calibrated before using the full range of utility capabilities, since this moment significantly affects the correct display of content.
Unfortunately, Sky Map can only provide superficial information about celestial bodies, do not forget that this is just a schematic atlas and not a professional astronomical product. Although, perhaps in the program updates we will see a detailed description of cosmic bodies, their discoverers, and other information valuable from an educational point of view. Of great interest to the average user may be a section called "Gallery", which contains a large collection of real photographs made by both amateurs and professionals. The clearest and most informative images are naturally the merit of the most powerful and modern Hubble telescope, which is a quarter of a century that has provided humanity with a huge number of high-definition images, thanks to which people have opened "horizons" previously inaccessible for research.
It is upsetting that the authors of the Sky Map, which they themselves position as a textbook, added far from all the constellations known at that time, deciding to do with only the brightest and most popular objects among the average man in the street. Judging by the comments left by users on Google Play, the creators also made a mistake in some calculations, placing some celestial bodies with a large error, which, in our opinion, is unacceptable. However, only people who are professionally engaged in astronomy are able to notice this. In general, the application works without lags and significant flaws, it can be easily launched even on budget devices, so it can be recommended as a kind of pocket planetarium, which will expand your horizons and indulge in a minute of "relaxation" while contemplating high-quality photographs of the starry sky.
