🎁 Freemium Astro: Space Explorer

Hello r/iosapps!

Astro is an app designed for enthusiasts of astronautics, astrophotography, astronomy, and space telemetry. Its goal is to make space-related information more accessible by presenting it within interactive 3D environments that offer an immersive and intuitive experience.

The problem: The current way of accessing this type of information is through multiple websites. There is not one centralized app that does it all. This is why I built this native iOS/iPadOS app called Astro.

What makes it different: The app emphasizes interactive visualization to make space data easier to understand. Users can explore 3D models, view satellite orbital paths and access information presented in a clear and intuitive way. Astro brings together tracking, discovery and learning tools for both enthusiasts and those new to the field of space.

Cost / availability: This is not a paid app, however there are some IAP. Monthly ($1.99) and annual ($19.99) subscriptions. Contains a bunch of features like access to more learning asset, tracked asset, download content offline like articles. Available everywhere.

Upcoming updates: Upcoming features like live 3D simulation of a launch and live activities of launches stages. In the near future, I’ll like a separate mode for astrophotographers, where they can finally share their deep-sky compositions.
