### 1/5 — Pretty useless

*2020-12-22, version 2.0*

No controls, no help.

### 2/5 — Good concept; excess ads

*2020-11-28, version 2.0*

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

### 3/5 — Problems with star charts

*2020-07-24, version 2.0*

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

### 1/5 — Why are there ads?

*2020-07-19, version 2.0*

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

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-07-19, version 2.0*

Pathetic and worthless app.  Don’t bother

### 1/5 — Worst star app

*2020-07-13, version 2.0*

To many ads, and developers use Facebook for contact. Just refund my money. I need an actual star finder tool, not a ad vr experience

### 1/5 — Please Back Off on the Ads

*2018-11-09, version 1.0*

Not a horrible app, but there is so many ads, I deleted the app it in frustration.

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2018-07-31, version 1.0*

If 0 stars were an option that’s what I would choose. This app is useless for matching stars up to what you see in real life.

### 3/5 — To much ads

*2018-07-09, version 1.0*

It good and all but like every time you move around there is a ad and also when you click on a star ⭐️ or planet 🌎 to go out you got to watch a ad.
