Only for iPhone bruh
Does this mean it points just back at the user?
Technically everyone is the centre of the observable universe.
Underrated comment 🔥
👌
Yea unfortunately I couldn't try it myself, but the write-up was fun
Waiting for someone to make a FOSS one for Android
You can just use Sky Map and search for Sagittarius.
What you actually want to search for is Sagittarius A*, but Sky Map doesn't have that, so the Sagittarius constellation is close enough to give you the general direction.

Why so many upvotes for an advertisement?
I thought the write-up was worth sharing, the dev talks a bit about the process. The app itself looked free and it's labeled as not collecting any data, so I didn't think much of it
Although if there ARE concerns I'm happy to take it down
Spoiler alert - it points up.
Cool!
Where is Naboo relative to the centre of the galaxy? You guys did shoot on location, right?
