### 3/5 — Still a 32-bit app. Please update soon!

*2017-06-07, version 1.3*

This app will no longer work at all when IOS 11 comes out in the Fall. Needs to be updated ASAP ir else thus nice app is DEAD!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-05-29, version 1.3*

Had older version that worked great. Was able to set date and time for future or past. Had a horizon line which gave reference to what you were viewing. Also had red screen for night viewing. All of that is either gone or obscure within the icons which have no explanation. Deleting app and searching for a replacement.

### 4/5 — Good app , but not 64bit support

*2017-03-22, version 1.3*

Works great. Can u also update app to support 64bit ?

### 5/5 — Best

*2017-02-20, version 1.3*

Best sky map. Font is too small to read by those above 40.

### 5/5 — Ignore the haters

*2017-02-19, version 1.3*

I don't know what the haters are talking about.
This is great. I recommend this for anyone who is a budding astronomer.

### 5/5 — It works

*2017-02-04, version 1.3*

Does very well at identifying stars and planets. There's a whole universe out there!

### 1/5 — STOP

*2017-01-28, version 1.3*

why do feel i got scammed out of 5 dollars, should have read these reviews !!!

### 2/5 — App says it needs and update for iPhone

*2017-01-24, version 1.3*

I loved this app when I got it, and haven't used in several months. When I opened today I got a pop up saying that the app developers need to update its capacity for iPhone. Used to be smooth, now is jumpy.

Could figure out how to message you guys, so wrote the review. Hope you are able to fix it.

### 2/5 — Reversed

*2017-01-15, version 1.3*

When I first downloaded this app, it showed exactly what was behind my iPad in the sky. About a year ago though all this got reversed, with the whole night sky 'flipped over'.

I cannot find a setting where I can either correct this or chose the view that works for me, so I am rather frustrated at what is otherwise an excellent app.

### 1/5 — What the heck!?

*2016-12-21, version 1.3*

Can't search. Get the first number of the coordinate in and it closes.
