Makes navigating the night sky so easy!

I'm a theoretical astrophysicist, but I've never been good at finding faint objects in the night sky. This app (on my 12" Dob) changes everything! I really love it, and recommend it to everyone. Needs no alignment; if something is hidden behind a tree, I can just pick up and move (which is a workout with a 12", but I need my exercise), and I'm instantly observing again with no alignment. I've found things and understood structures I never had before. The system is great, and the app specifically works really well. Looking forward to more features!

Useless app

My parents got me a Explorer telescope for my 13th birthday and I used the app for the first time. And the app is useless, whenever I start alining the stars and planets and stuff, they are in the wrong spot. Please developer respond 🙏

Great App!

Stars are easy to navigate in the sky, you can find where your planets and space objects are in the sky, pairs with telescopes, and my favorite thing is that if you set your altitude high enough you can exit the earth and then the milky way! Sincerely —

Awesome! One suggestion!

So I feel like it’s awesome!! I love it connected to my telescope but I rlly think you developers should update it to add the new space objects found! Depending on the telescope that the consumer has, if it is strong enough you should add the dwarf planets (ceres makemake hamuea eris pluto) you already have pluto but still! The others are cool to observe! Plus I love the detail they added!

Nützt nichts

Die app nützt garnichts ständig wechselte sie zu Jupiter

Keine Favoriten speicherbar

Ich suche nach einer Möglichkeit, Favoriten zu speichern von Planeten Nebeln und so weiter. Leider gibt es hier keine passende Funktion (Favoriten Sternchen/Herz Symbol) Man muss stets den kompletten Katalog durchforsten, wenn man was sucht. Wenn man einen Schritt zurück will, muss man komplett in den Katalog neu rein und zur Stelle scrollen, wo man war. Das ist leider super rückständig

It needs improvements for telescope alignment. when I tried looking for the moon, the map was offset

I’ve tried to get my telescope centered using this app by aligning it to the moon’s location, and I’m being dissatisfied by the app’s performance as when I tried to aligning the telescope through the app, the lens showed a blank sky because the telescope was offset to the right of the telescope’s direction of focus. I had to literally manually align the telescope due to this. I do have a screenshot of what I am speaking of. Finding planets took me time because of a similar scenario. It would be great if the app could make improvements with aligning the iPhone so that telescope users won’t have to turn on their battery powered laser that comes with their StarSense explorer telescopes or any other telescope of this brand.

Nice app

This is a good app, but Rho Aquilae is actually in Delphinus believe it or not

Garbage app

This app is so frustrating by design. This app isn’t helpful for anything. So many better apps and this app costs money too.

Really good for looking for planets

This app is useful cause it tells you where every planet is at, but the telescope doesn’t show the planets really good so really W app

Can’t find the moon

As a first time telescope enthusiast I was very excited about using this with my new telescope. After several attempts at trying to locate Jupiter in the sky with no luck-and dozens of realignment attempts, I initially thought it was user error however, on a clear night after realigning my phone with the telescope, I figured I would see if the app could find the moon and it didn’t! I don’t think this is a user friendly app. Hopefully I can find another app to use that can find the moon better than this one!

한국어 지원 plz

Plz

What the actual hell?

It does not work at all. I tried to do it very accurately but the app is not accurate at all. I’ve pointed it at. It was supposed to be satin and it was pointing at the fence wall not accurate. All that don’t try. It is a waste of your time. Better downloading another app worst app ever.

Bruh

Box didn’t come with postcard. Stupid.

안드로이드처럼 한국어 지원 좀요

ios는 왜 언어지원을 안해주나요..

美中不足

為什麼沒有中文版?!
