### 3/5 — Not iPhone 14 friendly

*2026-01-07, version 1.29*

Works great on my older iPad but keeps crashing on my iPhone 14. Love the app though when it works.

### 5/5 — Star Chart Infinite

*2025-11-03, version 1.29*

Awesome APP

### 1/5 — Stop asking us to rate an app that hasn’t been updated in 9 years.

*2025-07-07, version 1.29*

Was a good buy a decade ago. Now it’s just constant requests to rate the app.
Well, there you go.

### 1/5 — Incorrect time travel output of sky

*2025-04-07, version 1.29*

I recently tried time travel feature of this paid app. For my location and travel time of 20-April-1982 6pm sky map and other apps are showing moon to be in Aries constellation but Skychart is incorrectly placing it in Virgo constellation. Please take a look at this asap

### 4/5 — AWESOME APP …but

*2025-02-07, version 1.29*

Awesome,
 a lot of fun but the locations are all off a bit south.
                                                               …..needs an update.

### 5/5 — Nummer 1

*2024-10-27*

Wir schreiben das Jahr 2024 und Sternatlas Infinity (Star Chart) ist immernoch die beste App, welche Himmel beobachten mit Lerneffekt betrifft. Optisch sieht auch alles super aus, da können die meisten Apps nicht mithalten. Das letzte Update gab es vor 8 Jahren.

### 5/5 — Update..

*2024-08-23, version 1.29*

Aggiornate ad iOS18..

### 3/5 — Satellites are not in real time

*2024-03-16*

Very disappointed that satellites orbits are not in real time, to search satellites by name via search engine is impossible, amount of "visible" satellites are very poor. Okay, for satellites I'd better use Orbitrack or Stellarium, but what about comets? Your search engine couldn't find any comet, why did you released incomplete app? I paid money for it.

### 4/5 — good app

*2024-03-15, version 1.29*

good for stargazing but limited number of satellites - also the ISS is not in the correct orbit as it's not further than the moon (unlike in the app...)

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2023-11-13, version 1.29*

Star Chart continues to be my favourite sky app. However I discovered something interesting in the app when I was asked a piece of trivia regarding Dwight D. Eisenhower’s D-Day invasion of France on June 6 1944, specifically what phase the moon was in on that day. I decided to scroll back in the app to see what it showed, and it revealed that the moon was just starting out of its new moon phase, when in fact it was right around its full moon phase along with clear skies and low tide.
Still, I thoroughly enjoy this app!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.29 — 2015-11-17

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.

A few bug fixes:
- Fixed occasional crash when selecting constellations, either from search or by directly tapping on them.
- Star Chart now understands that Pluto has 5 moons, not 4.
- When running in an English variant other than US English, planet/moon order text was not displaying correctly.

### 1.28 — 2015-10-13

A couple more iOS9 specific fixes:
- fixed descriptive text getting truncated for planets, constellations etc
- fixed Star Chart User Manual failing to open due to new security features
- fixed Star Chart on Facebook/Twitter links failing to open due to new security features

### 1.27 — 2015-09-30

Fixed crash when trying to access Settings (iOS9 only)

### 1.26 — 2015-01-09

- A fix for the black-screen on relaunching Star Chart from a suspended state.
- Fix for AR Mode not working when Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services>Compass Calibration is set to off. This prevents Star Chart from getting a reading for True North, and so now it falls back on using Magnetic North in this situation.

### 1.23 — 2014-11-20

- Now includes a 64bit version, so should run a bit smoother on the latest devices.
- Speculative fix for AR Mode black-screen affecting some users
- Minor bug fixes and optimisations
