Doesn’t load

It never makes it past the volume suggestion and says no internet detected, even when I’ve turned it on and off to make sure it’s connected.

Not a well designed app

Not well designed, seemed to be just a copy of “star gazing and constellation” apps. Also doesn’t provide any sources of fact checking and isn’t that insightful. Could have had more “fun facts” or games as a learning app that is seemingly geared towards children.
