They are both great tools on their own and fantastic together. Thank you for helping in my Astrophotography adventure. ### 5/5 — simple and good *2021-04-04* very easy reference to polar-align your star tracker. looking and working good on iphone and ipad (mini). —————— einfaches tool um die nachfuehrung auf den polarstern auszurichten. sieht gut aus und funktioniert auf iphone und ipad (mini). ### 5/5 — Worth the download and worth the purchase *2021-04-04* This app is very useful. It’s frequently updated and improved upon. I use it regularly along with the Apple Watch app. ### 5/5 — Great little app *2021-04-04* I find this app great as part of my setup process. The day time polar alignment tool helps get things close so it doesn’t take long once it’s finally dark. ### 5/5 — Very useful for its purpose *2021-02-28* This is a well made app that can really help with setting up your astrophotography equipment while it’s still daylight. Works well and makes it easy to simply fine tune once Polaris is visible. ### 5/5 — Best documentation ever *2021-01-24* Complex app for complex problems. Take the time to read the documentation, really well done and very useful for any astronomer ### 5/5 — Geniales Tool *2020-10-05* Kein Clear Sky ohne dieses Tool! ### 5/5 — Accurate, Easy *2020-10-05* This app makes a polar align easy. I’ve completed alignments then done a plate solve to find I’m well within 2 degrees. ### 5/5 — Spitze! *2020-04-19* Ein Muss für alle Teleskop Nutzer. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2020-01-23* I use this every single time I take my telescope out. There are too many features that I use to list them all. Read the apps description for that list. However, I start with the daytime polar scope alignment app to get my mount roughly aligned. Then, I use the reticle display for precise alignment once the stars are visible. I love this app. I have purchased several others related to astronomy that have various purposes. Of all of them, this is the most functional, and the one that I most often use. ### 5/5 — Well done *2018-12-25* Very helpful ### 5/5 — einfach Klasse! *2018-12-20* Dieses Tool, egal ob auf iPhone oder iPad, ist zum Einnorden außerordentlich hilfreich. ### 5/5 — Best polar alignment tool after the polar scope itself! *2018-10-24* Do you think your polar alignment scope is enough to align your mount for astroimaging? Think twice! This little app takes into account precession, refraction, aberration and a ton of other phenomena to achieve exceptional precision. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-10-17* As good as any other far more sophisticated and expensive method. ### 5/5 — A Great Bargain!! *2018-10-10* There are so many “ apps within this app” that it could replace several other apps I have on my phone. The Polaris finder is accurate and easy to use and the Moon calendar and DSO calendar make planning observing runs easier. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2018-10-06* This is one App you want before observing while setting up your scope. Helps accurately align to the celestial pole, and has useful lists of objects as well. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2018-07-31* Even works for us Aussies down under 👍 ### 5/5 — Very handy Swiss Army knife for astronomy. *2018-06-19* I use this all the time for polar alignment and scope setup. Love the new features in the pro version. ### 5/5 — Polar Scope Align pro *2018-04-25* Simply stunning technology ✌🏽👍🙈 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Watch Version Needs Help *2019-08-19* As for the app used with phone all seems great, the issue I have is with phone version it’s very very slow and nearly worthless. Is this a known issue? **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for the feedback. I assume you mean the *watch* app is very slow? It depends on how slow you mean, the watch <-> iphone communication speed is quite limited so since everything is rendered on the phone, there is a lag displaying on the watch. Is there a specific screen that is slow? You could use the contact form on astro.ecuadors.net to see what I can do. ### 5/5 — Polar Scope Align Pro Watch *2025-08-30* Best in class by a wide margin. I can’t think of anything to improve on it for the current updated version. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-08-22* Love this app. It is a great reference tool. ### 5/5 — Rate app *2024-08-11* Great app ### 5/5 — Still the best! *2024-02-18* This app does it all. I’ve downloaded other apps to do things that I later realised could be done with this app alone. Take a LONG time to go through all of its features and you won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-06-19* Love this app. It is a great reference tool. ### 5/5 — Unverzichtbar. *2023-03-10, version 6.3* Einfach Klasse. Einnorden leichtgemacht und Sichtbedingungen aus mehreren Quellen in der App abrufbar. Für Himmelsfotografen definitiv ein Muss! ### 5/5 — Geniales Tool *2022-11-14* Dieses Tool löst so viele Probleme! Einfach genial! Durch die Möglichkeiten zum Polar Alignment ohne Sicht auf den Polarstern kann ich nun auch vom Balkon aus fotografieren. Danke!!! ### 5/5 — All I want to do was find Polaris … *2022-09-03, version 6.2* Lol. This app is chock full of things I can’t comprehend…yet. It is much more than a utility but it’s also a teaching/learning tool as well. I only poked around for a few minutes and was overwhelmed with all the details. Fortunately, this app has a great help approach which is why I’m writing this review. Even though you might not know the things this app displays/configures/mentions, you will be guided so that even a novice at astrophotography/space like me will be able to find their way around. Most apps do a poor job of guiding you but this app does an excellent job. Great app so far. I’m looking forward to seeing what this app can do and also to polar align my star tracker even though my view to Polaris is obstructed which is why I purchased this in the first place. ### 5/5 — Ravensnne2009 *2021-12-16* Wonderful so useful ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My GOTO App *2021-09-09* I’ve been using this app for about a year now and it has become indispensable in aligning my scope when I bring it out for photo sessions. I have arranged my scope so that my phone will rest on it, aligned with the optical axis. I then use the Daytime/No Polarscope Alignment feature to line up on the North Celestial Pole. I do my final polar alignment when it gets dark using the alignment feature in scope control software (EKOS) and Polar Scope Align Pro has gotten me so close already it has saved me quite a bit of time each evening. The leveling feature of the app has been much more accurate than the bubble balance built into my mount as well. I know I haven’t scratched the surface yet but these features alone make it well worth the small investment. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
