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

I like Sky Map. Originally developed by Google, open-sourced in 2012.

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/

I couldn’t find it anywhere on the github page linked. Glad to hear I was wrong.
