I'm sure there's many good ones,,certainly 'sky map' seems good . Works offline once loaded.
...a handy hint,,, the App relies on internal compass of a tablet,,, calibrating the compass is important,, the app will tell you if you need to. I
was having great difficulty until I removed the ...--magnetic-- cover on my tablet!! <;~D

Wish I was , instead I was doing my time in Nam.
But a friend had bootleg live show recordings on cassettes that we would most enjoy in the lonely hours.
