Requirement:
The AI tools require at least 4G RAM for best image. If the device has less than 4GB RAM memory, lesser weight(memory) will be used for the specific AI starless, AI oval and AI satellite, and it will produce degraded results with maximum image size of 1080x1920. This is to prevent crashes due to run out of memory. You can check your device RAM by going to this app Help section.

New Feature:
AstroEdit uses AI to automate the complex comet stacking. Currently, user needs to stack first for the stars and second for the comet since they moves at different speeds. Then he has to blend them together and do further edition on another program on a laptop. AstroEdit makes comet stacking quick and simple.

### 3/5 — Sometimes good, sometimes crashes

*2026-08-20*

Been using for a while now, as the title says it is quite prone to crashing (usually when you are nearly finished editing). Makes it very frustrating as you have to start all over again and you never quite seem to get the edits as good the second time around.
Doesn’t seem capable of handling big files (tiffs) which is annoying as they contain quite a lot more than a jpeg .

### 5/5 — Rapide et efficace

*2026-07-29*

Une application simple qui donne de très bon résultats en des temps records ! Merci

**Developer response:** Thank you very much!

### 5/5 — Great for quick Seestar FITS edits

*2026-04-29*

This is a great app - nice one developer! I can quickly export raw files from my Seestar, save to my phone and then import the fit file into this app. It’s lets you do some quick edits to bring out details, colour etc, even gradient reduction. You can then export as a tif so you can further edit in Lightroom. There are loads of features. Denoise wasn’t quite strong enough but overall this is a great app for a quick mobile workflow. There is nothing else available like it - I’d highly recommend for any Seestar or Dwarf user if wanting to edit on the go

**Developer response:** Thank you very much. I really appreciate your comment. Glad you like it. More update about AI Hubble is coming soon. Have fun!

### 4/5 — Still crashes after selecting AI and star reduction

*2026-04-10*

This is a useful tool for quickly editing images…when it doesn’t crash. The most recent update was supposed to fix the crashes, but it doesn’t. 75% of the time, when I open an image and try to reduce the number of stars through AI, it crashes. I can’t use a program that constantly crashes, especially the features I bought it for.
UPDATE 04-09-26: The problem seems to be more stable now. The developer asked me to upload a few images I had edited with this program and he tweaked it. I find myself using this program for doing quick edits. It works well for that.

**Developer response:** Hi. Version 2.64 is upload to Apple for review to fix this issue. Thank you very much for the update! Have fun and keep in contact.

### 3/5 — Pretty good but…

*2026-03-25*

Really cool tool but the AI tool still makes it crash after the bug fixes.

**Developer response:** Hi. Version 2.64 is upload to Apple for review to fix this issue. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-13*

Works very well for what it cost and the platform it’s on. I’m happy with it.

### 2/5 — Files are grayed out, no reply to requests for help

*2026-02-12*

Yong Chang Loh, please reply to my requests for help opening .fit files. All files are grayed out and I can only open the jpegs saved in Apple Photos. This seriously decreases the usefulness of the app.

**Developer response:** Hi. I can help if you send me your fits file to ustransit74@gmail.com. I will look into your files and provide you an update. Thank you. PS. I have uploaded version 2.60 for Apple review. This update fixes the grayed out fits file.

### 3/5 — Cannot open files, no response to emails

*2026-02-11*

I really want to make Astroedit my primary post-processing app for Seestar images, but as it stands it works only with pictures saved to Apple Photos, and that is a major problem, since they are only jpegs. 

When I try to open files they are all grayed out. 

Two emails to the contact address have received no reply, and that is very disappointing.

**Developer response:** Have you send to ustransit74@gmail.com? I have not received your email. Thanks. PS. I have uploaded version 2.60 for Apple review. This update fixes the grayed out fits file.

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2026-02-09*

Good Work. Hope you keep updating. I use a dwarf mini

**Developer response:** Thank you!
