## What Star & Planet Finder does

You point your iPhone at the sky and follow a live AR arrow to the Sun, the Moon or a planet, with its live position and rise and set times, for free.

With Star Pointer Pro, the arrow also finds stars, constellations, deep sky objects and satellites, and the app lists visible passes of the ISS, Hubble and Starlink trains with a reminder, a 3D flyover and a Lock Screen Live Activity.

The app works out where objects are from your location, the date and time, and the phone's compass and motion sensors.

## Who Star & Planet Finder suits

- Beginners who want to know which bright dot in the sky is which
- People who want to catch a visible ISS or Starlink pass, with Star Pointer Pro

One limit: Satellites, stars, constellations and deep sky objects need the Star Pointer Pro purchase.

## What Star & Planet Finder costs

Free tier: Free plan. The Sun, Moon and planets are always free; Star Pointer Pro is an in-app purchase that unlocks satellites, deep sky objects, constellations and more.
