The short version
The sky-identification loop is approachable, but the publisher’s SkyView Free policy and Google Play disclosure describe sharing precise/approximate location and device identifiers for advertising and analytics. Do not plan a child/family launch page until the current Lite build, consent path, and opt-out behavior are tested.
