🔭 Star Hunter — Support
Point your phone at the night sky, find 20 constellations and 3 planets, and collect their myths. For ages 8–12.
How to play
- Open the app in the evening — Tonight's Sky shows three quests chosen from what is really above the horizon at your stargazing city.
- Tap a quest and raise your phone. Arrows nudge you: tilt up, turn left…
- Hold steady for 2 seconds on the target and the constellation draws itself with a chime.
- Every find unlocks a myth story card (tap "Read it to me" for read-aloud) and joins the Sky Journal.
- Log the Moon each night in the Moon Log — all 8 phases earn the Luna badge. Finds earn XP toward Star Wizard ranks.
- Stargazing for real? Turn on red-light mode to protect night vision.
FAQ
The sky view doesn't follow the phone?Star Hunter uses the built-in motion sensor and compass. If your device doesn't have them — or you'd rather not wave the phone around — open Grown-Ups (⚙️ on the Tonight tab) and turn on "Finger pointing mode" to aim by dragging.
Why does it ask which city I'm in?The app needs a rough location to compute which stars are overhead, but it never accesses your device's location. Picking a nearby city from the list is accurate to within a degree or two — plenty to find the real thing.
The constellation isn't exactly where the app says?Sky positions are accurate to about 2–3°. Make sure the right city is selected in Grown-Ups, and hold the phone flat-on (screen facing you) while pointing.
How do I reset all progress?Open Grown-Ups (⚙️) and press-and-hold "Hold to erase all progress" for 2 seconds. The long hold is deliberate so a journal can't be wiped by accident.
Are there ads or purchases?No. Star Hunter has no ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking, and works fully offline. See the
privacy policy.
Which devices are supported?iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later.
