I have a quick question about stargazing apps. I have used StarTracker since my BlackBerry Z10 days. It is a wonderful app that was always more or less completely accurate (though at times I must aim slightly lo to the left of any star or planet). It has gotten worse on my Sony Z2. I also then downloaded "Google Sky Map" and "Star Chart". Both wonderful in their own ways. But I noticed that I need to be more and more to the left of something to have it centred on the screen.
I am curious as I know nothing of these apps. Do they use the phone's internal GPS or something? Or do they link up to satellites in the sky?
Not sure whether this helps, but I live in Cape Town in South Africa.
Is there a way I can fix it to make it more accurate again?
