User reviews

Outdated

Used this app for years - unfortunately the App often freezes on the splash screen and doesn’t show updated satellite or telescopes.

Best stargazing app. Get the premium

This is literally the best app. There is so much good with it I cant even type it all here, get it and find out for yourself.

Some objects take time to download

At first I couldn’t even see Hubble, ISS and other objects but these appeared overnight so guess the app needs time to sync or download all data.

Why does it not work

I have tried everything. Nothing changes. It is fixed on one star, it does not rotate. Yes, all my settings are correct. I deleted, redownloaded, and it still has the same problem.

Highway Robbery???

I've been a long time supporter of this app. Purchased possibly ovr a decade ago and enjoyed using it up to this point... where my enjoyment ends is upon realising they have removed features that were already built into the paid version and putting them behind a paywall add-on.

The description stating you can view satallites was accurate before but no longer. That is now an additional payment that is not included with the app. Misleading and theft when many of us already paid for that feature.
