I recommend. :) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2016-06-25, version 4.0* If you want to learn the night sky, then this is the app you want. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2016-06-13, version 4.0* Not the most detailed app for star gazing but shows the major stars and planets with drawings of the constellations! An overall good app! ### 5/5 — Assaf *2016-05-15, version 4.0* Great app for knowing the stars ### 5/5 — Stargazing at its finest! *2016-03-24, version 4.0* Ever want to know what that bright "star" in the sky is? Or what constellation that group of stars belong to? If so, this is the app you have been looking for. Sitting in the hot tub at night, or camping, or just out for a walk, you'll never need to wonder again! Great app for settling bets and amateur stargazing! ### 5/5 — Fun and easy app *2016-03-10, version 4.0* This is a fun app! It has helped me identify several constellations and planets that I have not seen before. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Support his app *2016-03-04, version 4.0* Enjoy this App Full of interesting info ### 4/5 — Add Proxima Centauri *2016-02-29, version 4.0* Please add Proxima Centauri It is the closest known star to earth. HIP 70890 ### 5/5 — Star rover is great *2016-02-09, version 4.0* l really like it i cant find anything I don't like about it you can look at great pictures of galaxies and nebula also it can show you what stars are out that night. ### 5/5 — Star Rover *2016-02-03, version 4.0* I really appreciate and enjoy this app. I live out in the country and have a beginner telescope and I enjoy hunting for objects in the sky. This app makes it fun and easy to navigate the stars! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-04-29, version 3.0* Cool graphics Doses what it dose Look amazing Geographical ### 5/5 — The best *2015-04-28, version 3.0* This is the best app in the world!!!! ### 5/5 — Hi *2015-04-28, version 3.0* Hi Colton ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-04-22, version 3.0* It's a very useful app I like it very much. ### 3/5 — iPhone version much better. *2015-04-20, version 2.5.1* This has great graphics and location is a cinch but lacks any descriptions and rich explanations and guides that the Iphone version has. Iphone version rates 5 stars, IPad version half as many. Lucky to get three star rating ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working with ipad 11 *2021-10-15, version 4.3* Worked with 9.7 ### 1/5 — Texas Maverick *2015-07-02, version 3.0* Not Happy!:-(( Screen will not Rotae to Landscape View on iPad Air! ### 1/5 — Star rover *2015-05-03, version 3.0* Don't like this set-up like the way it was before with stars ...planets ....please give options to keep old or new...thanks ### 1/5 — App *2014-05-01, version 2.5.1* Does not work as advertised nor on iPad. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2013-09-25, version 2.5.1* Hoping for a google sky type app but no luck ### 1/5 — SkyRover *2012-02-15, version 2.1* Don't bother. In the kitchen it was showing some sky scene...who knows what, but it wasn't aimed at the sky. I've seen similar programs on others' phones and you could definitely tell what they were pointing at and see it on the phone and in the sky ### 1/5 — Hassle *2011-07-16, version 1.0* Never managed to get this to download. Not happy. ### 2/5 — No Landscape Viewing *2019-01-03, version 4.1* This app should be able to rotate with your iPad. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2014-06-20, version 2.5.1* I used a different app for stargazing when camping last week. I thought this was it, but it really was not. The other one is WAY better. Disappointed. ### 2/5 — I've seen better *2013-06-23, version 2.3.1* Not that great. The compass kept saying there was interference in the area. !! Like I live in the middle of nowhere ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-04-10, version 4.3* I love that it gives a gist of what’s around in the sky. And that I can use it without having to connect to internet ### 5/5 — Really nice app *2020-09-13, version 4.3* Easy to use. ### 5/5 — LOVE IT! *2019-04-07* Since I had my cataracts operated on a few weeks ago, I can now see the stars and with this wonderful app, I can actually identify them! It has opened up a whole new Universe for me! Literally! (80 year old Great Grandmother) ### 5/5 — Best astronomy app ever *2019-01-10, version 4.2* Much better than SkySafari because it doesn't restrict the app's functionality with those hated additional in-app purchases. That's why Star Rover beats it hands down. Also this app is more detailed, has better UI and is better designed with much more detailed information--both visually and contextually than SkySafari and other lame competitors. The graphics are amazing! The developer(s) did a great job. ### 5/5 — Star rover *2018-10-26* Grandchildren just love this app must stay at our place until they can see the night sky Makes Gma & Gpa very popular . Thanks for making this app so interesting to all ages. ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-05-03, version 4.0.1* Must have app for camping! ### 5/5 — A Star *2017-10-16, version 4.0* Does everything I expected and more. Easy to use, very intuitive. Now, the only problem is standing outside in 7° weather using it! ### 5/5 — good reference tool for backyard every day use *2017-08-13, version 4.0* i like it ### 5/5 — Cool application *2017-01-16, version 4.0* Nice program to become educated about heavens. ### 5/5 — Sky at night *2016-12-22, version 4.0* One of the best apps for star watching. Great additional information on heavenly bodies. The compass directions are very good. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
