Work on it to make it work! Thanks. ### 1/5 — Uhhh...NO. *2011-07-23, version 1.0.1* I was excited about this app. It let me down. Big-time. Eff this ish, don't bother. ### 1/5 — Broken *2011-06-27, version 1.0.1* You literally cant use it ### 1/5 — Thank you for summing that up *2011-05-28, version 1.0.1* piece if crap ### 1/5 — Dumb. *2011-04-09, version 1.0.1* Wow, super slow on an iPad 2.

I have an Evo (droid) with Google Sky installed and it is the coolest app I've seen so far. I figured this would be the closest I'd get on an apple device. I installed it, realized the other reviews were spot on, and uninstalled it. It is a worthless app. It has potential, but just does not work. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2010-08-30, version 0* This does not work. You cannot get to any of the info. ### 1/5 — Junk *2010-08-12, version 0* Google Sky may be okay on a desktop computer with a fast WiFi connection, but with a bad interface on an iPod, forget it. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2010-07-19, version 0* Do not how to use the program. No response when clicking anywhere. ### 1/5 — Horible *2010-06-07, version 0* If u like looking at a pic of stars and planets then u would like this app but me I don't like It I thot is was a map of the night sky but it's not.............DONT DOWNLOAD WASTE OF MEMORY AND TIME:-( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2016-03-16, version 1.0.1* As another reviewer stated, trust all of the one-star reviews. After making numerous attempts to get the app to do something other than go to the app store to entice you into paying for a completely different app, I gave up, deleted the app and wrote this review. YOU DON'T WANT THE HASSLE. ### 1/5 — No stars *2015-11-01, version 1.0.1* What a worthless app nothing happens just blank screen so stupid don't waste your time I uninstalled it quickly ### 1/5 — Bad app *2013-11-12, version 1.0.1* The veiwing select takes up 75% of the screen and you cant even tell what your looking at ### 1/5 — Not legitimate *2013-10-12, version 1.0.1* It's simply an ad for Google earth. ### 1/5 — Stinks *2013-01-16, version 1.0.1* This app stinks I hate it can't see anything but white dot that are supposed to be "stars" ### 1/5 — horrible *2012-10-29, version 1.0.1* It keeps on freezing or at least i can't see space it's all white. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2012-09-01, version 1.0.1* I don't even now ### 1/5 — Worthless *2012-08-06, version 1.0.1* Would give it zero stars if I could because it gave me zero stars :) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2012-07-08, version 1.0.1* This app does virtually nothing. No instructions, no labels. Try to move around sky, moon, or Mars and get blank screen. Plenty of other icons to try and get you to buy other apps. App is a waste of time and memory. ### 1/5 — astro is really bad *2012-06-04, version 1.0.1* this isn't just a buggy app. it is absolutely terrible. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Woww!! *2010-05-17, version 0* Best app ever!!! ### 4/5 — Cool *2012-12-13, version 1.0.1* Great app really cool. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2010-05-10, version 0* Even if the ui is a bit different, it's not a bad app. Other reviews seem to be pretty picky for free. Just tap an edge to move the view. ### 2/5 — Good app *2011-12-03, version 1.0.1* It is a good app but it takes 5mins to load & every time I click on a link it takes 2 more mins with 5 bars on my IPhone Pleads four a update on it thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
