Pretty useless

No controls, no help.

Good concept; excess ads

This would be an excellent astronomy app, but for the deluge of video ads with every finger tap.

Problems with star charts

This would be good if you could zoom it and the preselected targets weren’t in your face all the time. Data base needs some work as Draco is mIs-labeled as Dorado and Ursa Major is missing altogether. Still, It is a real neat little tool to see the relationships between the constellations and the bright stars and it can be panned easily to follow your gaze as you try to learn the nite sky. -RD

Why are there ads?

Why the ads, when $6.99 have been paid for the App? Those ads are a very ugly feature of this App.

Awful

Pathetic and worthless app. Don’t bother
