For things like nebulas I can somewhat understand but learning about the moon, not so much. Still pretty great tho, just wish ya didn’t have to pay for like half the app. I did notice it updated the moon’s color during a lunar eclipse which I find to be very cool! The direction it’s in is quite accurate and I extra love how I can zoom in close enough to where I can literally see it moving! Overall really cool, but still, FAR too many paywalls and constantly asking for a subscription every time I open the app **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoy the app and its features. We understand that the number of paywalls can be frustrating, especially for basic content like lunar information. Your input is invaluable, and we’ll consider it for future updates. Feel free to reach out if you have more suggestions! ### 3/5 — Great, but too many paywalls *2026-03-03, version 1.5.6* I really like how it works and how many things you can see, but my only problem is how many paywalls there are. For things like nebulas I can somewhat understand but learning about the moon, not so much. Still pretty great tho, just wish ya didn’t have to pay for like half the app. ### 2/5 — Use sky guide instead *2026-02-19* The app is very finicky to use. You need a subscription for many things that sky guide has for free, and I find sky guide very easy to use with amazing visuals. I appreciate you can zoom very far unlike sky guide, but your view is not locked to the rotation of the earth, so you can’t zoom far without need to constantly move your view. There might be a way to fix that that I haven’t found out. Overall i think it’s much worse, but that’s just my experience and opinion. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're having difficulties with Star Gazer. We strive to offer unique features, and your input is invaluable. Please reach out to support@leogstudio.global for assistance with the app's functionality. We appreciate your insights! ### 1/5 — Worst Star Map *2026-01-08, version 1.5.3* Doesn’t align with the stars accurately ### 1/5 — Subscription trash *2025-11-29, version 1.5.3* Not helpful other apps are so much better ### 1/5 — Hopeful customer *2025-11-03* I’ve tried several of these apps and this is my findings with this one. Upon opening the app an advertisement appears which can not be closed. Doesn’t matter how many times I launch the app or how much time I wait. The ad won’t close and this app can not be used. **Developer response:** Dear User, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing with our app. We understand how frustrating it can be when ads prevent access. Please reach out to us at support@leogstudio.global so we can assist you in resolving this issue promptly. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Not maintained correctly *2025-10-21* Too many ads keeps offering me premium, which is illegal called harassment and kicks me out of the app sometimes if I click on a specific location on a map ### 5/5 — NASA *2025-10-19, version 1.5.2* Tokyo/ Brandon ### 1/5 — Make it free *2025-10-13, version 1.5.2* Can’t believe I have to pay now to show my kids ### 5/5 — H *2025-10-11, version 1.5.2* A ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hard to see stars and use *2026-06-24, version 1.6.4* what else do I need to say? ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY, doesn’t work *2026-06-16* I purchased for a Boy Scout event. Every time I open the app, it says I need to subscribe. Then I hit subscribe and it says I’m already subscribed. I did about 5 times before I gave up. Awful! **Developer response:** Dear User, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with our app. It appears that there is a technical issue with your subscription status. Please email us at support@leogstudio.global, and we will resolve this issue promptly to ensure you can enjoy the app during your Boy Scout event. Thank you for your patience! ### 1/5 — This app sucks! *2026-05-08, version 1.6.2* Makes you pay for every little thing. Nothing is free and it doesn’t even work. It didn’t track stars or move with the night sky. It suggests rebooting iPhone and jumping through a ton of hoops just to try and use the app. Lame! ### 1/5 — Took my money *2026-04-02, version 1.5.8* Took my money and didn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-03-19* Bad and £70 annually to use this? Nice joke. **Developer response:** Dear user, we appreciate your feedback. We understand that pricing can be a concern and strive to offer a valuable experience. If you have further suggestions or questions, please reach out to us at support@leogstudio.global. Your input is important to us! ### 1/5 — Not what I wanted *2026-03-12* Feels like preloaded night sky images that have nothing to do with where I am pointing my phone to find out what star it is. Like I’m supposed to look down and compare that with what I can see. So I lost interest in first couple of minutes. My curiosity was not taken into consideration. I’m not trying to see the whole of it at once. I can’t see beyond a certain distance because light pollution as well. I just want to know what that star is the one I am physically looking at. Deleting this and trying for one that gets me. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the app did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be when light pollution limits your view. Your suggestions are valuable, and we'll work on improving the user experience to better help identify individual stars. We hope you give us another chance in the future. ### 1/5 — Charged even sheet canceled *2026-03-10, version 1.5.7* Do not use they will charge you even after you cancel the service ### 1/5 — Couldn’t get it to work *2026-03-03* I’m annoyed. I needed it to work for a time sensitive item and the app would not function properly. I’m especially annoyed because I was charged. It would have been nice for there to be a trial period. **Developer response:** Dear User, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with our app and understand your frustration, especially with a time-sensitive need. Please reach out to support@leogstudio.global so we can resolve this issue and discuss your feedback regarding a trial period. Your satisfaction is important to us. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-02-16, version 1.5.6* It should be very easy to cancel. It’s not. Not user friendly. ### 1/5 — Money Hog *2026-01-19, version 1.5.3* Demands money before the app opens, then demands a review. Here it is, one star, the lowest I can give. Now I’m off to delete this app in name only. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-04-06* i rated it complete ones since its a perfect app, it really helps people who love astronomy and space feel connected to it, it’s amazing. thank you for always responding to my reviews and taking into consideration my issues!🤍 **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review!

This app allows me, for no cost, to point my phone anywhere in the sky and it will tell me which planet or star I’m looking at, along with the outlines of ALL the constellations. I love this app :) **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying Star Gazer and finding it helpful in exploring the night sky.
