9.9.7
2021-05-16
Welcome to Luminos 9.9.7! This update is just bug fixes, specifically it fixes a rare crash which could occur while tapping on satellites while satellite data is downloading, and it fixes lists so that new lists can be created once again. Thank you for sharing your crash reports! Clear skies, - John
9.9.6
2021-04-26
Welcome to Luminos 9.9.6! This update adds a 100 megapixel surface map to Mars, changes the field of view button to stay on until turned off, and fixes several smaller bugs and issues. Clear skies, - John
9.9.5
2021-01-20
Welcome to Luminos 9.9.5! I was reviewing the crash logs and noticed several people experiencing crashes in the equipment calculator, and they were happening frequently enough that I thought I should fix it right away. The logs also revealed a couple of other bugs regarding upgrading databases and those are fixed now too. Thanks for sharing your crash logs! Clear skies, - John
9.9.4
2021-01-06
Welcome to Luminos 9.9.4!

This update adds several new features, including that you can hide the motion-tracking identification circle I added a couple of updates ago. I've also changed deep-space object labels to always label Messier objects. Also this update also adds support for iPad trackpads, which can now be used to pan the sky view and spin the time and fov wheels. For telescope users this update uses the latest SynScanLink library and adds satellite tracking to those SynScan mounts which support it, plus Astro-Physics Mach2GTO mounts now have a Home position for the Park command to place those mounts in their absolute home position.

Several bugs are also fixed, including that the date picker can be set to 1 BC without problems, plus moon orbits are now shaded like the planets and those orbits intersect the moons reliably. There are other bug fixes too, but they're somewhat esoteric so I won't detail them all here – look for the Release Notes in Luminos' Support section for a complete list of the bugs fixed in this update.

Clear skies,
John

Deno242,
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.
MrB2922->2920,
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!
Fief puddle,
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.
Trail Jogger,
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.

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.
DoulosKyriou,
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.
Arcane Demesne,
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.
Billy.2112,
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!
Luvinnumbrrs,
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!
TSoules,
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.
