Questions

The Sky tab doesn't point to the right place.

Wave the phone in a figure-eight to calibrate the compass, and move away from metal and magnets. Allowing location gives true north instead of magnetic north.

Why don't I see the weather, live alerts, planes, the Sun or spacecraft?

Those need Live weather & satellites: You tab → Settings → Live weather & satellites (at the top), Layers & style in the Sky tab's ⋯ menu, or the "Turn on" button on a screen that needs it. It is off until you turn it on, and the app says what it sends before it does.

Where do the planes come from?

From adsb.lol, a free open network of receivers, only with Live weather & satellites on. It gets your position rounded to about 10 km. If you allowed only an approximate location, the Sky tab may ask once for your precise location to place the planes exactly; that stays on your phone.

Notifications don't arrive.

Check iOS Settings → Notifications → Tonight Above You, and the switches under You tab → Settings → Notifications. Alerts are checked on your phone whenever the app can (when you open it, and when iOS lets it refresh in the background), so they can come late.

Does the camera record anything?

No video, and nothing is sent. The camera shows the real sky behind the chart, makes night photos and shows your eye in First light. A finished night photo is added to Photos; any other picture only when you choose Save or Share.

How do you know the numbers?

Tap "How we know ›" under a line to see the source and how sure we are. The small mark says it at a glance: ✓ measured or computed, ≈ estimated, ? debated.

Change the language.

iOS Settings → Tonight Above You → Language (English or Turkish).
