### 4/5 — Interesting

*2025-12-13*

I love what this app does and paid the one time 6.99.   I would live to see a zoom added and planets identified in it as well.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the love and for grabbing the one-time unlock—means a lot!
Regarding zoom: the current release can identification image up to 16×  (just make sure the selection box covers the entire picture).
Planet-ID is on the wish-list for a future update—no ETA yet, but we’ll definitely keep it in mind.
And we’d be thrilled if you could spread the word among your friends.
