  • Amazing

    Was so happy to find this app, it does such an amazing job. They really thought of everything and is super easy to use!
  • Works great

    App works great. Very well optimized, runs very smooth. Has a vast catalogue of objects. Contains a lot of information as well.
  • Thankz AstroPaul & BriceC76

    Very early morning & even @ 6:30 it would literally Shoot across my screen like a Star ! I’m out in the country & if it wasn’t 4 you Paul & Brice I would have thought I was nuts cuz it wasn’t on my screen long enough to set the time ⚡️. Then I read reviews (always) due 2 updates, & your plea for help was most comforting.
    I do Greatly N-Joy & Recommend This App ✨

    Hi TheBlondIcon, Sorry about that! The app should not be crashing any longer. There was a bug on the server side related to satellite data which has been fixed now.
  • Love the app, but........

    I love the app. It’s very handy and I enjoy the ability to locate celestial objects. However, the app has been crashing within a few seconds of loading up. Not sure if it has something to do with the latest iOS update or app update. I’m hoping things can get sorted out. I look forward to tracking some meteor showers this summer.

  • Something to remember

    There is nothing that will make man look inside,,,like looking outside,,I think there there should be a hour window every night when “all”external light source were turned of so that you could see all that is,,I’m sure man would continue on his selfish fear based path,,but for some It would be life changing,,and it is possible to change the many,, when you change a few.

  • Spectacular

    Exceedingly easy to use. Shows everything in the night sky you could ever wonder about. Like a planetarium in your hand. Only suggestion is the labels of the entities are quite small, so I often need a magnifying glass to read them.
  • Solid app!

    I’ve had this app since 2012 and it has been a solid performer and incredibly useful tool for gazing at the night sky. My favorite use is as a quick spotting device for satellites and the ISS. Everybody should look up more often!
  • It has everything but three glaring flaws ...

    It does star colors well, properly reports B-V values and plots stars on the HR diagram, gives distance wonderfully...

    What is missing must have been a bad design decision and these are:

    1: decision NOT to show actual deep sky objects but have very poor low resolution standin images that are generic and don't represent the actual object at all.. case point the Orion Nebula arguably THE most important recognizable objects in the sky... NOT represented except by a very poor cluster image. Many more just like it. Not even Messier objects represented in the sky view.

    2: looney tunes quality constellation art that is not representative of the classic mythology. People in mythology represented as if drawn by someone who never knew anything about the myths behind the constellations. I turn it off and will never use it now.

    3: cannot change star brightness so with many stars visible or with additional database the sky looks like a color blindness test book at the eye doctors. Too much of a cartoon or coloring book look and feel yet there is this dichotomy of offering really good information couched in a less than effective presentation

  • Unable to turn off constellations

    I noticed you cannot turn off constellations in the newest update.
  • Location / orientation needs significant work

    The sky orientation is way off. So a lot of interpretation is necessary. The sun or moon is on the opposite side of what the app shows, making it almost worthless. But I paid for this app so I feel like I have to keep using it.
