Very Unintuitive UI
I’ve used many different night sky apps and this one has got to be the least intuitive to navigate around the sky. You don’t know what direction you’re looking because you can’t find direction markers; I have no idea where the horizon is or what’s in relation to what. The labeling on the sky chart is all over the place in terms of font size, style, color… preferences allow you to turn things on the sky chart on and off such as mythological figures, object names, etc. it’s clear this app has all kinds of cool features but IMO they’re clumsily rendered. It’s just confusing to use.
My go to night sky app is SkySafari - it’s waaaaaay better in every way with superior features, way better sky chart, more intuitive interface, way more settings, millions object database, outstanding simulations, and on and on. Keck Watch could be a contender but it’s got a long way to go rethinking their presentation and user controls. Other good ones are Stellarium, Luminos, GoSkyWatch, Sky View, Sky Walk.
