I'd like to show you my app - Stars and Planets - for both Android and iOS.
You can warp to distant stars and explore various exoplanets like lava worlds, water worlds, earthlike planets or massive jovians. And you can even fly a spaceship through the atmosphere of planets (all exoplanets are generated based on parameters like temperature, planet type, etc).
In my opinion, the best part about the app is its database, mainly extracted from SIMBAD in 2020(but I plan on refreshing that next year), totaling around 4.5 milion stars.
All exoplanets' info is extracted from exoplanet.eu, NASA archive and a couple of other sources and planets are added/retracted dynamically, without needing to update the app.
I tried my best to create a 3D representation of all(or most) of the SIMBAD stellar types like contact binaries, polars, semi-detached disks, etc
I've been rolling out updates for the past year and a half and will continue to improve it in the future.
Here's a youtube link of the app in action
