If you are searching for a tool to follow the stars and one that offers a completely unique experience for doing so, StarTracker is your go-to app for BlackBerry 10. We first saw it during BlackBerry's 25 Days of Gifts and then took a closer look not too long after. It offers a 3D map for you to view the sun, moon, planets, and thousands of stars with only your BlackBerry 10 handset. The recent update brings a change to the efficiency of application. It now utilizes True North instead of Magnetic North to increase the accuracy based on your location. 

StarTracker allows you to explore the solar system by simply holding your BlackBerry up to the sky and seeing which constellations, objects, planets or stars are there in real time. It is like having your own star chart in your pocket. In terms of capabilities, operation is smooth, graphics are great, and it really does shows off all that your smartphone can do. Below is a list of all it brings to the platform.
