## Most critical reviews (4 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Help does not help

*2017-08-20, version 5.1.2*

Attempted to use help files, some opened and others jumped out of the program to iPad screen.  Version 3 worked much better.  Gyro system also jumps and will not stay steady.

### 3/5 — Do NOT buy this App. It is outdated.

*2020-04-05, version 5.1.2*

I saw this on the Orion Telescopes website and bought it, not realizing it hasn’t been updated since 2016.  I noticed when I kept getting notifications that China’s Tiangong, (which crashed to Earth in 2018) was rising. 

Instead get the SkySafari 6 Plus app which is basically the exact same app as StarSeek 5, only regularly updated. E.g., no more Tiangong. 

Orion, you should not be advertising this on your website anymore.

### 5/5 — By far the best sky atlas

*2019-08-07, version 5.1.2*

By far the best sky atlas, with information on a very large number of objects. Very highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Train Room Gary

*2018-10-30, version 5.1.2*

My favorite Astronomy App / no mater where you are on planet earth, you will be able to track your favorite planet or stars. Also gives the best targets each day with it’s location and history. I do recommend this App / Also has a telescope Go-To feature / Hope this helps. have clear sky’s - Gary
