Please🥺(Translated into Russian) Сделайте русский язык! Пожалуйста🥺 *2026-05-18* Без него сложно/ Without him with ### 2/5 — Retiraram a Tradução PT-BT *2026-03-21* App funciona bem, mas retrocederam ao retirar a tradução para o português sendo que era suportada em versões anteriores. ### 4/5 — Excelente *2025-10-25, version 3.98* Me hace viajar por el universo y visitar las estrellas, al viajar tan lejos mis problemas los veo más pequeños. Solo que al usar esta aplicación mi iPhone se calienta, parece que se gasta mucha batería ### 4/5 — 課金してもレモン彗星は探せません *2025-10-22, version 3.98* 分かりやすく、ARでの取り扱い方も簡単でいいのですが、話題のレモン彗星は課金しても、位置の検索をかけても表示されませんでした。残念です。 ### 2/5 — Pay or it’s basic *2025-10-22, version 3.98* Tried to search a constellation. Not listed. Very disappointing. Still fun to look around but won’t be relying on it for any real searches. ### 3/5 — 彗星の表示 *2025-10-20* 彗星の位置を見たくて500円課金してアップグレードしました。が、レモン彗星が出てこない？表示の仕方なのかな？ 誰か教えてくださいm(_ _)m ### 5/5 — Best free star-hunting app. *2025-10-14, version 3.98* No annoying advertisements and obligatory purchase, and much better than several ‘major’ and charged apps. The display background is clean, user interface easy & friendly, and the provided information of each stellar object just mandatory & most helpful. Best for urban balcony star-gazers. ### 2/5 — Ads, ads, ads, did I mention ads? *2025-10-09, version 3.98* Too many ads. I get it if you give a sample free product you got to pay the satellite bills, but I just got into the application and I got a quick add. Can you give people some time to set the app up to their liking and to look around the Milky Way before you slap ads in their galaxy direction? Just too many ad asteroids ☄️for this Martians 👽 liking. Slow down the ads please. Life’s too short even in this long universe. ### 3/5 — We need CURRENT comets and 99942 Apophis *2025-10-02, version 3.98* There’s something like seven comments plus the interstellar object atlas coming through our solar system right now, October 2025. I want to see these. I wanna look straight at them and I want to use this app to locate them. Get busy guys! And we want to track 99942 Apophis the big scary asteroid. ### 4/5 — 追加課金ができない *2025-09-29* ISS見るために衛星に課金したが流星群の機能が解放される 9年前のアプリだから仕方ないかな・・・ ### 2/5 — Still crashing *2025-09-22, version 3.98* When I try to zoom in on any object. I paid for this. I gave you my money. For what? I’ve had this app since 2013, if Android devices are included. I’ve had the iPhone app since 2014. When I open the app and zoom in to any object, it suddenly closes or crashes. It’s still doing this. I use 2 fingers to zoom out into space. It crashes when I try to zoom in (Further away from Earth). ### 3/5 — The clock in the top left and other bright white lights *2025-09-16, version 3.98* The clock in the top left and other bright white lights for four reception bars, wifi, power level, and the bright bar make it hard to concentrate on the rest of the universe. ### 5/5 — 見やすくて分かりやすい *2025-09-07, version 3.98* 何年も前に初めて課金したアプリ。 機種変してもその度入れてるアプリ かなり見やすく説明をしっかりしている 今も｢今日は流星群やってるかな｣｢月はどこに居るだろ｣って気分で開いてる 最後のアプデが9年前だからそろそろ画面サイズ対応して欲しいな ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Language change and not fix *2026-06-01, version 3.98* The language for the name of the starts has changed to Arabic or Latin and can’t be changed back to the English names. Hugely frustrating. ### 1/5 — ¿Estafa? *2026-04-27, version 3.98* He comprado una mejora llamada “satélites” y me la han cobrado, pero sigue sin funcionar. No sé si será una estafa o un mal funcionamiento. Seguiré esperando a ver qué pasa. ### 1/5 — Got ripped off *2026-03-21, version 3.98* Had this app for a while and it had some good features. Tried to upgrade but download fails. Of course they took my money ### 1/5 — Mejora de satélites no funciona *2026-01-25, version 3.98* Compré la mejora de satelitales ,presiono restaurar , completa el porcentaje de carga y luego no pasa nada … entro y me vuelve a dar la opción de “ restaurar compra “ … y luego se cierra la app ### 1/5 — Don’t purchase extras *2025-12-15, version 3.98* I have purchased all of the extra elements, cost a lot of money. But I changed my phone and it won’t restore to the original. So, new phone new purchases. The support link goes nowhere. So there’s no way to get my purchases back, which were over £25. Love the app, but I’m not purchasing for every new phone when there isn’t any support. ### 1/5 — Don’t pay for any additional packs *2025-10-22, version 3.98* Bought the comet pack to help find Tsuchinshan-ATLAS and it’s not listed. ### 1/5 — No longer maintained *2025-10-12, version 3.98* I paid for the “comets” upgrade as there was so much on SM about C/2025 A6 Lemmon and C/2025 R2 SWAN in the sky now. But once I got it, I found the newest comet included in the upgrade was discovered 12 years ago! I’m going to get my money back, then delete this app. Other apps like Stellarium have included these two comets already in their free content. ### 1/5 — Star Chart *2025-08-18, version 3.98* Recently downloaded app. to a new iPad. Problem noticeable instantly - image alignment between screen and actual image out-of-kilter by up to 180o. Nearest Apple Store is a 200 mile round trip, so not feasible. Tried to report problem on Star Chart web site - message appeared “deceptive web site”, so not feasible. Have used this app successfully for years until now, and no help easily available. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-07-25, version 3.98* Was working for a while, then after upgrade to extended catalog, the Constellation images got corrupted. Now, basically unusable. Support unacceptable. Annoying. (iPad Pro 12.9) ### 1/5 — 起動しなくなりました。 *2025-04-20, version 3.98* iPhoneの機種変更をしたら起動しなくなった。 起動しないから何もできない。マニュアルさえ見れない ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is most discoveries that I discovered other constellations *2026-08-21, version 3.98* This one good! ### 5/5 — Amazing chart *2026-06-21, version 3.98* This app is very easy to use and shows you all the stars you can see and more!! ### 5/5 — A Great App for Stargazers the World Over….and Beyond? *2026-05-27, version 3.98* Well designed, functional, enjoyable guide to the stars & planets. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-04-23, version 3.98* Nice sky and really interesting ### 5/5 — On the daily !!💓💓 *2026-04-04, version 3.98* I love this app I’ve been using it daily for years it helps me with my work I am very grateful for it and I only wish for the best moving forward keep it going!!! ### 5/5 — Landed *2026-03-23, version 3.98* Got me to Uranus. ### 5/5 — Funciona y es ligera *2026-03-18, version 3.98* Después de probar algunas aplicaciones de este tipo, me quedo con esta: funciona bien (aunque a veces se “atasca” el modo asistido por GPS), y es la que menos memoria ocupa en el iPhone. ### 5/5 — this is… *2026-02-27, version 3.98* incredible! i love this app, esp when we get out of the city and can see the full constellations instead of what’s brightest. finding a planet is so much fun ### 5/5 — Top *2026-02-22* Adorei! To aprendendo muito. O desenho das constelações é uma obra de arte à parte. Legal é ver as constelações e pesquisar a mitologia sobre ela . Pra 5 estrelas sugeria um áudio recreativo, uma música ou quando clicar em um objeto celeste o app falar a respeito. Mas de resto o app é perfeito. ### 5/5 — Super fun *2026-02-21, version 3.98* I love the app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
