If you click to start the trial, it opens the Apple ID thing which (if you bother to read it) informs you it’s not a one MONTH free trial, but a one WEEK free trial, which will start automatically charging you $8.49/week after that week is up. You also have to cancel the subscription a day early or it won’t cancel in time. Honestly that almost killed it for me. Anyway, I backed out and clicked the tiny text at the bottom “I’m okay with watermarks” to try it instead. I can’t get a clear picture at all. Doesn’t seem to work the way it’s designed, and they want to charge $26/month for this app? Yeah, right. ### 1/5 — erreur *2020-10-27* bonjour j’ai téléchargé ceci par erreur merci de ne pas me prelever ### 1/5 — Scam! THIS APP EMPTIED MY BANK ACCOUNT!!! *2020-10-27, version 1.0* Do not download this scam malware!!! This app charges $10 a week and it doesn’t show it’s correct name in your subscriptions!!! Reporting to iTunes for this. ### 1/5 — Pictures are very blurry *2020-10-05, version 1.0* This app doesn’t work. The pictures are super blurry ### 1/5 — This is a scan. *2020-09-30, version 1.0* Do not download. This app needs to be removed. ### 1/5 — Do not purchase you will regret it they will charge you weekly till it adds up to $439 a year *2020-08-29* It took me many hours to get a request for a refund from Applecare. I have found is impossible to delete this “virus like” app once you download it. It’s there but it’s icon does not show up on your home screen= no way to delete it! If you open it even once in just one week they will start charging you $9.35 with tax every week forever. It’s hard to understand why someone tells enough to make an app it’s just a crook and a scammer out to take people but I guess there’s people like that on this earth I hope they find a better way whoever created this app is truly a scamming grifter. I wonder if the five star reviews are just fake as well because I did try it and it does crash it’s a crap app. If you want to take night photography you’ll need an iPhone 11. I do hope Apple reads these and stopped partnering with this grifter company it tarnishes their name as well. I’ve done what I can, you have been warned do not purchase! ### 1/5 — Scam app *2020-08-23, version 1.0* False advertising of the subscription price and app keeps crashing, takes terrible photos, does not work. Remember to UNSUBSCRIBE within 1 week and then uninstall ### 1/5 — LIARS *2020-08-21* They don’t offer a free 30 day then 2.99 per week. In fact if u click on the subscription, it’s 8.49 a week and $9.49 a month. I just saw two charges for 8.49 I downloaded it 8/6. 7 days I get charged and now I see another charge. Apple POLICE ur deceptive apps! They’re SCAMMERS Refund my fraudulent charges I did not AGREE TO ### 1/5 — Uninstalling immediately after I leave this. If I wanted to waste my time taking black photos *2020-08-18, version 1.0* I’d put my phone back in my pocket and save some of those. Google Pixel is eating the competition alive with Night Sight camera ### 1/5 — Absolute trash , what are y’all talking about? *2020-08-13, version 1.0* Downloaded too take to Joshua tree for night sky pictures and it was horrible. My regular camera app actually did good when I adjusted shutter speed to 10sec. This app is trash I followed all directions ### 1/5 — Podvod *2020-08-12, version 1.0* Neinstalovat!!!! ### 1/5 — Predatory billing practices *2020-08-09, version 1.0* App works fine, charging me $8.49/month for several months before I caught it is not so fine. Am planning on seeking recourse with Apple and possibly getting legal advice. ### 1/5 — Very unsatisfactory *2020-08-07, version 1.0* The app keeps crashing:/ ### 1/5 — SCAM!!!! *2020-08-04, version 1.0* The free subscription expires faster than they let on and they are very unclear about how much you will be charged when that happens. Also the camera does not work at all. ### 1/5 — Literally doesn’t work for me at all on iPad *2020-07-27* [EDIT: I’ve now discovered that it works fine on my iPhone 6. So if you’re using it on an iPhone, go for it. I don’t have a tripod for my phone, so I can’t. It still pretty much doesn’t work at all on my iPad. So still a 1 star rating for that & the lack of product support & instructions.] I downloaded it onto my iPad Pro 10.5” (iOS 13.5.1) to take pics of Comet Neowise & I simply couldn’t get the app to respond to my taps most of the time. In camera mode, I could tap around the screen all night, but no adjustment would change. I could press the shutter & that’s it. In editing mode, it was hit or miss whether tapping on any icon on the screen would bring up a slider & then whether any slider I dragged my finger along would move at all. Sometimes they did but mostly they didn’t. I was sitting there tapping & dragging for about an hour before giving up. Maybe it’s incompatible with this latest iOS update? Obviously, some people have gotten it to work, but I’m not one of them. Maybe it works better on the iPhone? Two utterly unforgivable things: (1) No instruction manual or website or forum to go to (the website listed on this app page does not actually appear to have anything to do with this app). You have to figure problems out for yourself or you’re stuck. (2) It only works in portrait mode. I take most of my pics in landscape mode & kept having to turn it sideways to see the app’s controls. For an app that supposedly does such wonderful things, it seems a truly amateurish & clumsy piece of software. The lack of instructions & support is really breathtaking. ### 1/5 — Непотріб *2020-07-25, version 1.0* Такому лайну тут не місце ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2020-07-22, version 1.0* Horrible dark blurry pics. Regular camera is better ### 1/5 — Zero exposure control *2020-07-21, version 1.0* This app doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — An absolute joke *2020-07-21* Still doesn’t take photos of stars and even with late evening photos, edits them terribly. Not to mention the free trial, which they market as one month but once you agree it tells you it’s one week plus hard to cancel ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disaster *2021-07-07, version 1.0* OMG it is a disaster fo my iPad air 4 ### 1/5 — Dishonest *2021-04-12, version 1.0* I installed it offered me an option to start my free month after clicking it, it instantly charged my Amex $15.98 before I even saw the features or tried the app. These Ste tactics used by crappy apps to hurry and get your money before they see the app, it leaves a bad taste fortunately if I don't like the App Amex will protect me. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2021-03-02, version 1.0* This app doesn’t do anything I was on a tour at the observatory in Kona Hi. The best place to see stars according to astronomers..... my photos are as black as if I took photos of the inside of my pocket. Don’t even bother ### 1/5 — Useless on new phones *2021-02-14, version 1.0* My iPhone 11 max does a million times better at low light with the default apple camera app. ### 1/5 — Monthly charge??? Conned *2020-12-14, version 1.0* So I’ve been charged a monthly subscription? Utterly ripped off by this sneaky app. Avoid this con Then the guy contacted me from Norway and said I should remove my feedback and it was my lack of experience that enabled him to make fraudulent bank transfers. He’s a disgrace - the kind of person who makes the internet unsafe. He’s very young and very rude indeed. An utter crook ### 1/5 — I was ripped off! *2020-12-13* I installed this app in late July and was ok with being charged $2.99 a month - as the description says as of this writing. However, little did I know that I was being billed $8.49 A WEEK!! Needless to say I have removed the app and will never install anything from this developer. ”Buyer beware” is all I have to say. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Please bear in mind that the app is free to use with a small logo in one corner of the photo. We have made changes to the app to to clarify how subscriptions work. This is per Apple's design and not ours. You can always go to settings in your device and cancel any subscriptions. We have also lowered the price of the app. Hope you like it. Best regards, Inlovewith ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2020-12-12, version 1.0* The only thing it is good at is charging your card multiple times ### 1/5 — Developer seems to be criminal *2020-12-07, version 1.0* You are promised a free month and he tries to charge you after a week. Useless crap. ### 1/5 — BEING CHARGED $9 WEEK AND CANT UNSUBSCRIBE *2020-11-20, version 1.0* I don’t even know if the app does what it claims-I DONT CARE PLEASE LET ME UNSUBSCRIBE! IVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK FOR A MONTH TO REACH OUT WITH NO RESPONSE. PLEASE CONTACT ME. YOU HAVE SUCKED ENOUGH MINEY OUT OF ME! ### 1/5 — Charges $8.49/week, zero pics, beware! *2020-11-11* Maybe I did something wrong at first setup, but shutter is delayed as they state, then makes 16 nice camera clicking noises, then it says “working” for a bit, then...nothing. No photo, nothing to edit, no controls, just camera and photo buttons. Camera gets you 16 clicks and photo gets you nothing. AND they start charging you $8.48/week!! This did not work for me. And it crashes often. Bad App. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — 환불요청 *2019-09-10, version 1.0* 1주일동안 무료체험은 정말 잘 했습니다. 제가 분명히 결제 취소 요청했는데 취소된거 맞는지 확인해주세요 ### 4/5 — 요청사인이 너무빨라요 *2018-05-20, version 1.0* 환불 요청 합니다 ### 3/5 — Great App But . . . *2019-12-31* I have an iPhone 6 and with this app I can take great photos right? Kind of. Though it works just fine the frame rate is absolute crap. It is probably less then 5fps. I have to hold my phone so still but it still doesn’t turn out very great. I REALLY HOPE YOU THE DEVELOPERS CAN FIX IT!! ### 3/5 — An ok app *2019-09-06* It’s an ok app. It’s not that great not cut out what the reviews say. It takes pictures of the stars but only the really bright ones. The reviews made it sound like it can take picture of every single star in the sky. ### 3/5 — 결제취소해주세요 *2018-05-16, version 1.0* 저도결제가되버린거 같아요 결제취소해주세요 ### 3/5 — 환불 요청합니다 *2018-01-30, version 1.0* 왜 결제가 되어있죠. 앱 깔자마자 지웠습니다. 환불 요청합니다. ### 2/5 — $114/y Maybe look elsewhere? *2021-06-15* Ah yes. Many deceptions beyond the not “free month” but also the price stated as a mere $3/mo -> $36/y … at least some year. But nope, it’s $9.50 => $114. You can’t be serious. Do you all remember when we bought apps? When something like this wasn’t >$100? More of us were happy to buy and didn’t get disgusted with you all … at least I have a good Night Camera app. ### 2/5 — Decepção *2019-10-29, version 1.0* Estou decepcionado, pois já usei esse aplicativo antes e ele era ótimo, as imagens ficavam muito claras e nítidas, ele enxergava no escuro, agora as fotos tão saindo super escuras, espero que resolvam o mais rápido possível, abraço ### 2/5 — Buggy UI, watch out for subscription terms *2019-07-28* Says you can get a free month when you sign up but subscription billing starts a week later which is deceptive, for that scam you lose 3 stars. Once initial photo is taken the UI is all over the place jumping between different screens when you try to go back to the camera, not intuitive at all. Wouldn’t recommend this app. ### 2/5 — Too Crashy *2018-01-04, version 1.0* You Can’t Really Try Much Without Hitting Trial Part,&Way Too Crashy To Even Wanna Attempt Trial Version,Be Better If It Just Had No Trial,Just Watermark Sample Version With Few Tools&Paid Version Assuming You Can Fix The Crashes That Us,I’m Picky Where I Spend My Money,&I Like To Get A Feel Before Buying Apps,&So Far Not Great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
