Are there any good open source star gazing apps out there?

Stellarium Mobile doesn’t seem to be FOSS which is weird because Stellarium uses GPLv2.

Their issue tracker has a bot that says:

This site actually does not discuss the Mobile version. Please use its own feedback system: https://www.stellarium-labs.com/support/

That is weird. Thank you for bringing that distinction to my attention, I’d always assumed it was FOSS and just locked a few features behind a paywall on Google Play.

Looks like the mobile version is created by the same person who initially created Stellarium (and the current project coordinator for the FOSS version), but forked and taken closed source? Very confusing.
