I know that many of you would like to see SkyMap translated to your language. Since more than 1 year ago when we published our first version we received lots and lots of requests from you. We’ve been listening to you all this time.

We would also love to see SkyMap translated to more languages too. But we are a small group of 2 developers, working on their spare time, and we need some help with the translation.

So, if you would like to help us translate the SkyMap app in your language, please send us an email at support [at] denebsoft [dot] com.

Now, we can’t promise that we will be able to translate the app in all possible languages . We will try first to cover first the most popular languages, and after that, if we get enough support and requests we may be able to tackle some less common languages as well.

So, if you would like to help us, please let us know.

Thank you!

We’ve just released a new update to SkyMap – 2.3. Here is the full list of changes that went in this update

• Improved graphics (you can see some before and after screenshots at the end of this post)
• We added a stars twinkling effect
• Fade in/out animation for the constellation art
• We added a button to the quick settings bar to toggle the point to sky mode
• Various performance and stability improvements
• Removed the 30 degrees limit for the compass compensation
• Various bug fixes
• Fixed a bug that caused the orientation lock to be lost after exiting the flashlight page
• Fixed a bug that caused the map manipulation to become sluggish after opening the APOD page
• Fixed a bug that made the last match in the search results list not to be selectable

We released the 2.2 update some time ago, but we haven’t got the chance to post the release notes. So here they are:

• Added an option to hide the Milky Way texture
• Live tiles with the sun, moon information
• Implemented search while in the point to sky mode; we now display some arrows to guide you to the object you searched for
• Improved About page
• Select the search text in the search page when opening the page
• Improved the compass calibration instructions by pointing to a post on our blog with more details about calibration
• Various bug fixes and performance improvements
