Sky Map (formerly Google Sky Map) is an open-source Android astronomy app that identifies stars, planets, and constellations by pointing your phone at the sky. Originally launched by Google in 2009 and open-sourced in 2012, it is now maintained by the original developers as a community project.

- stargazing companion app for beginners
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source sky map on Android
