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. The later post by Timothy Reaves contradicts this, saying that no one can sell stellarium. 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.Īnyway, The mobile version seems to be 'official' given the first post in this thread. The regular app doesn't work very well on my old MacBook Pro limited to 10.7, so probably out-of-date graphics driver.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 was looking at the stellarium mobile app for use on an iPad air it seems like it would look really nice.
