### 4/5 — Bug

*2026-07-06*

L’appli s’enlève avant la fin du décompte ce qui ne me fait pas de photo c’est dommage pourtant j’utilise cette appli depuis au moins 1 an et j’ai jamais eu de problème avant aujourd’hui, si vous pouviez faire quelque chose ce serait vraiment top !!

### 2/5 — This app appears to no longer be supported. Should it be taken down?

*2026-05-16, version 2.0.0*

The latest reviews are three and four years ago. Reviewers have the iPhone 8. The latest updates were Three years ago. Appears to be an abandoned app . Should the developer remove it? I have it and like its features, but what is going on here?

### 3/5 — Requires Notifications to Work

*2026-02-19, version 2.0.0*

I would have liked to try it, but if you don’t allow it to give notifications, you can’t get it to open. Tried it on an iPhone 15 and 16 with the same result.

### 3/5 — Besoin de maj

*2025-12-23, version 2.0.0*

L’application est laissée à l’abandon…les overlays ne fonctionnent plus c’est bien dommage car c’était magnifique

### 1/5 — Crash iPhone 17 Pro Max

*2025-12-13, version 2.0.0*

Non funziona più !! Sistemate.

### 3/5 — Needs updates

*2025-10-17, version 2.0.0*

Used to work perfectly with great images of the night sky. Does not work with the new iPhones, images are horrible.

### 5/5 — Great app for quickly identifying where positioned in the night sky!

*2025-10-04, version 2.0.0*

Upgraded to iOS 26.0.1 on iPhone 14pro and app works great but crashes if you try to use any overlay. Would be great if you could investigate.

### 1/5 — Crache systématiquement sur iPhone 16 pro

*2025-08-26*

Impossible de prendre une photo avec cette application. Elle détermine le temps d’exposition à environ 3 minutes mais elle n’arrive jamais à décompter plus de 40 / 50 secondes avant de cracher …

Je regrette mon achat et déconseille à quiconque de l’acheter. Cette appli est un scam.

### 1/5 — Magnífica peroooo…

*2025-08-17, version 2.0.0*

Primero felicitarle por su aplicación. Segundo comentarle que no funciona con iPhone 14. 
Espero que se solucione pronto. Sigue sin funcionar con iPhone 15 pro Max. Si así de malo son sus telescopios no merece la pena hacer ese gran reembolso si existe el Seestar…

### 4/5 — Astrophotographer

*2025-08-03*

Super appli qui permet des temps de pose longs, et permet d’avoir rapidement de belles photos. Comme un autre utilisateur, il m’est impossible d’ajouter des overlays, l’appli saute systématiquement (iPhone pro 14, iOS 18.5)
