I just down loaded the free version of skysafari I guess, I didn't pay anything. I can see the night sky. I don't see where it tells me any coordinate's of the object I'm looking at. Is it in the program? I'm use to stellarium on the desktop which tells me Ra/Dec and also Az/Alt. Am I missing something?
Unfortunately the Android version available in the Play Store says that it's not compatible with any of my devices, so I haven't been able to use the mobile version, but I use the desktop version all the time.
Is there a way to add objects to the Stellarium mobile app? I have successfully added 38P/Stephan-Oterma to Stellarium on my computer but there doesn't appear to be anyway to do the same thing for the mobile version. Anyone know how?
Before asking questions and providing feedback, please have in mind that this is the Feedback Forum of the original, desktop version of Stellarium, and that we don't develop or provide support for the versions for mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.)
I was looking at the stellarium mobile app for use on an iPad air; it seems like it would look really nice. The regular app doesn't work very well on my old MacBook Pro; limited to 10.7, so probably out-of-date graphics driver. I created a bug a while ago, but given the obsolete system I am using, I don't know if it is reasonable to fix.
Anyway, The mobile version seems to be "official" given the first post in this thread. It currently cost $1.99. The later post by Timothy Reaves contradicts this, saying that no one can sell stellarium.
It seems to me that the Mobil version could become more popular than the desktop version, given the abilities of smart phones to determine where they are and which direction they are pointing. This seems like it may be worthwhile to support the mobile version in the future.
For my immediate decision (purchase or not), does any of the money for the mobile version make it back to the main project? It looks like they do have source code available, but I have not played with Xcode in a while.
