Most Recent Update Destroyed My Seestar S30
My Seestar can't find or track objects now. I've calibrated the compass several times, set polar deviation, nothing works. Thanks for a year of fun and two months of frustration.
Amazing smart telescope
Just out of this world. Straight out the box 10 mins later taken pics of comets, galaxies etc. Get one
4K
I wish selecting 4K was easier to select and would stay on once selected until turned off. Would be nice to select before you Goto the object you wish to image.
Stop taking over audio and playing video
Still takes over audio so no other apps can play music, podcasts or steam when the Seestar app is in the foreground. What a stupid thing to do.
pretty good
i really like this app it’s super easy to use but one annoying thing is calibrating it every time while i know you can’t fix that in the app but also if you get to far away then you just get disconnected from the telephone and can’t pair again unless you’re right next to it
Great Telescope
What a great telescope very easy to learn. Great pictures right from the start. I played around with a Nikon P 900 but this is far superior You can’t go wrong with this purchase.
3.0.2 kills S50 tracking
The app is well written. The UX is generally great.
UX Improvement: allow the user to toggle LP filter, exposure time, and setup framing before the camera moves to the selected location. Otherwise, the user must cancel after getting to the object, make the selections, and then hit record again.
After balancing and calibrating EQ mode with the current app version, I am routinely getting 40% stack rates while all of the others are rejections. Online, I’m seeing a TON of other experienced astrophotographers complain of high rejection rates all of a sudden just like me. I’m using a high end latitude wedge (Move Shoot Move).

Updates Continue to Break Scope
The last two updates have turned a $500 telescope into a paper weight. The update to v3 added adds to the app and made images unusable with the amount of noise introduced into the Fits files. The current update has made it impossible to track/ stack files due to tracking errors on frames. Many other users are experiencing the same errors and SeeStar keeps brushing off the errors as no big deal even though the product is effectively useless. They will not provide a way to rollback to WORKING firmware.

Latest Alpaca Update
Firstly, I have to say that I love your product ( I have the S50) and the very active development that you all put into the firmware and software.
However, in this update you mention an Alpaca update - 1.2.0-3 - with a URL to find out more. Unfortunately, the website requires a log in / account and, yet another, app to download.
Please could you add update details to your support page? I really don’t want yet more apps and accounts!

Annoying Update
The first clear night in weeks. In the field, just after sunset, I got a forced firmware update. It has been setting at 0% for 20 minutes. I am very, very annoyed.
Stuck in firmware update cycle
The app has problems right now. The iOS app is stuck in a constant firmware update cycle that prevents user from changing any settings (such as disabling station mode). The entire device is useless right now
Seestar 50
Endless fun using this telescope. Easy to navigate for a novice.

Latest update to app is horrible
The tips are forced they take up space and time they make using this app a pain
Instructions are outdated
Instructions are outdated and no option in advanced settings to save each frame. Therefore, sky stacking does not find any images. Even after check settings under ‘me’ and in all other settings. App updated, latest FW installed.
Version 3 is buggy.
Ver 3.0 needed more testing before release. Wasted an evening with relatives excited to see the SeeStar work trying to get past an erroneous voice prompt to upgrade the already upgraded firmware.
Very embarrassing situation and teen kids unable to have a good first experience with Astronomy.

New version with ads is annoying
The new version added ads to the screen telling you to go buy a Seestar. I don’t get it. I already bought one, which is why I’m using the app. I would think everyone using the app already has a Seestar (because it doesn’t do much without one), so the ads are pointless and just serve to annoy.
This update is pushing me to switch to NINA and abandon this app ASAP

Firmware updates suck
nothing like standing in the cold ready to go, only to be FORCED to do a firmware update. Why not have the option to update later??? Now you have to stand in the cold and drain battery doing a firmware update — cutting into imaging time and length of imaging time!
