This is going to cause a seizure.

The moment you start the app, the entire sky is spinning so fast you can’t make anything out. I’ve restarted multiple times and the same thing happens. I want my money back. This is unusable.

Screen spins and doesn’t focus

On loading the main screen, the image just rotates constantly. There’s no VR control and unable to even launch anything. Tried deleting and downloading again but did not fix the problem. Unable to use at all so will be requesting a refund!

Don’t waste money

This didn’t work at all. Just some stupid dots on a screen.

Poor

Does not work on my IPhone 12 pro

I got robbed

This app just spins and you can’t stop it. No setting to change. Cat-fished!
DO NOT PURCHASE!

Does not work on iPhone 12

The image is jittery and unresponsive to the phone looking around. The developer has not responded to notification of this. Terrible, a complete waste of money.

Why the screen is shaky now?

Why the screen is shaking and not stable? You got your money? No updates since 4 years ....

Garbage

Don’t know why I bought this. It’s an old app with 1 review, but it’s the only app that allows you to stargaze with VR googles. Problem is, it does not use your location. Every time I’ve started the app, the Sun has been in a new location, not where it actually is relative to where I am. The screenshots make it look way cooler. I will be trying to get my money back.

Breathtaking!

First let me get the minor nuisances out of the way: The font size and resolution make it difficult to read some of the details. Also, it appears that the moon is not in the correct constellation when using the telescope mode from earth, and I would prefer the Milky Way to have more contrast. This app still gets five stars because of the beautiful design and effects. It is awesome flying between planets and moons. For a breathtaking view, go to a close-up of Saturn and then select one of the moons below the ring system. As you start to fly towards that moon rotate your view back to Saturn and watch as you pass through the ring system and perhaps the shadow of the planet on the rings! Also love the surface features that can be switched on or off. It would be nice if you could back off from the sun just a bit to witness some of the prominences seen only as you approach or leave it. Perhaps updates might include images of some of the better known deep sky objects? Very impressive program and it really shows off what VR can do. Anxiously eager for updates!

Amazing!

Hands down the best app I've used so far. Stunning. They nailed it! 5 dollars far from waisted. Already learning stuff lol

Thanks!

Ideas: Double pressing the button on the viewer can bring you back a view. (Or press and hold)

Cheers!

Useless don't buy it

This app doesn't work at all. You can look in 3D with a VR viewer to see the star and it look like you should be able to interact but it doesn't work. Developers on forum mention the iOS 9.2 broke all the Bluetooth remote for VR apps and Apple have no intention to fixed it. Leaving most VR apps useless without a Bluetooth controller. I'll request a refund since I can't interact with the app. Apple or developer, the app should provide an alternative to interact with it or free to test it or just remove from the App Store.

A MUST have for VR enthusiasts

I just got into the VR game and I must say this app is the pinnacle of VR apps that I have experienced. Sure, it is not nearly as full featured as some other astronomy apps that I have including it's normal app equivalent. However, with the correct kind of monetary support this can be something even more amazing.

Please do yourself a favor and purchase this. No amount of explanation can fully describe the immersive experience it offers.

I am affiliated with Star Chart in any way. Just a chill dude from CA that wanted to try something new.

Best 3D VR app in the market.

If you own a pair of VR 3D goggles and you're into astronomy, or you just want to impress your friends with your new toy, then you can't go wrong with this app. Ok, there are far more superior astronomy apps in the store, but this is the best one for your goggles by far. It makes you feel like you're actually floating in space and you can visit any planet or moon in the solar system with the click of a button, just wait until you're in orbit around Saturn, it's epic! A note to the developers, it would be awesome if the planets had a bit of rotation I think it would add a lot to the experience. This is a great app and worth the money in my opinion.

$5 demo-quality app

This app doesn't feel finished. There is an arrow on the screen that doesn't work.

Needs empathy for the guy wearing the headset

A tap interface on an iOS VR app? A stare-based UI would make this so much more immersive. Imagine being able to fly around from planet to planet by just staring at a button where the dumb "tap here" button is for long enough?
Graphics are really nice.
