User reviews

Only cause I had to pay.

This app is darn good. It’s just because I had to pay it, that’s the only reason why I gave it four stars. But wow we got to use an app to see the stars in the city.😭🥲😅🤣🧐🤨🧐

Review update

Following my poor review, I have managed to get past the "quick start" screen and the app looks great. In truth I've not yet used it much do my 5 star rating is based on the general look and feel of the app.

App does not work

I’ve tried everything and unable to get the “motion” to work. Waste of money.

Earth image not high definition.

Zoomed in on the Earth to my home state and the image is fuzzy. Not sharp at all. I wanted to see what was flying directly overhead my location, but the image quality is poor at best. I was expecting better than this.

Still the best!

I’ve used this for years and it still has the best features and interface of anything else out there - despite its age. There was a brief period recently where it disappeared from the App Store and I feared it had become abandoned! Thankfully it was a temporary hiccup and the developer is still active.
