I know I’ve switched phones but I shouldn’t have to pay again because of this. But other than that… best sky viewing app I have ever used. ### 5/5 — Sky app August 11,2026 *2026-08-11, version 2.21.0* I Phone 14 ### 5/5 — Hooked *2026-08-09, version 2.21.0* If you’re interested then Star Walk or whatever it’s called might help. ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2026-08-08, version 2.21.0* I’ve been using this app for years and still love it. ### 2/5 — Far too many notifications *2026-08-08, version 2.21.0* Getting 5+ notifications per day, I only downloaded the app a few days ago for an upcoming eclipse and planet parade. ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-07, version 2.21.0* Best app ever ### 5/5 — Супер😍 *2026-08-04, version 2.21.0* Очень позновательно✨🫶🏼♾️ ### 5/5 — Thank you God *2026-07-25, version 2.20.2* For all the starts. ### 5/5 — Worths it! *2026-07-18, version 2.20.2* Thanks for this amazing app bro ### 5/5 — 好评 *2026-07-16, version 2.20.2* 我爱妈妈😩😭 ### 5/5 — 😇 *2026-07-10, version 2.20.2* Danke 🙏🏻 ### 3/5 — Doesn’t seem intuitive how to use it *2026-07-09, version 2.20.2* It doesn’t seem easy to know what the app is actually showing (or not showing) me. I think I am pointing at a star to get the name, but I can’t tell if what is in the sky matches what I see on my screen. Perhaps I’m assuming the app is using my phone’s camera when it isn’t. ### 5/5 — Star *2026-07-02, version 2.20.2* Great app helps me see what’s up to look at is a great aid to other apps well worth getting ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — used to be good. *2026-08-19, version 2.21.0* used to be good. ### 1/5 — used to be good. but now collects way too much info on you. *2026-08-12, version 2.21.0* used to be a decent app. but with the latest update you have to go over the data collection preferences for over 50-100 vendors to disable them one by one. making it very difficult and too obscure to actually do it. you can either "accept all" or go over each and every one manually. there is no "reject all". they really are making it very hard to deal with this app. so i am deleting it. ### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel *2026-07-28, version 2.20.2* The app is good, but it’s a subscription and there instructions on how to cancel do not work ### 1/5 — Money pit *2026-07-26, version 2.20.2* Now just ripping loyal customers off. Everything is an added subscription. Used to be great, now unusable. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2026-07-09, version 2.20.2* It is not Accurate to the sky and makes the Big Dipper seem on the other side pf the world than it really is. Also it has a bad interpretation of the night sky because of it was accurate then it would have many more stars and more visibility to the galaxy. ### 1/5 — Can’t figure out how to use it *2026-07-05, version 2.20.2* No idea what the app is actually showing (or not showing) me. Just want to point at a star and get the name. ### 1/5 — Greedy *2026-06-22, version 2.20.2* Was good! No more. Now you have toat yo track 3iAtlas!!!! Never Before. I referred of people to this app. Now I told them all to cancel. Greed greed greed!!! ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2026-06-13, version 2.20.2* Can’t ever figure out how to use this and what I’m looking at. Basically worthless for me. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-06-07, version 2.20.2* A weak money grab. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-06-04, version 2.20.2* Need premium just to locate things ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Soooo good *2026-08-28, version 2.21.0* I love it so much ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-27, version 2.21.0* I paid $19.99 a few years ago for ad free, but I had to pay $8.99 again for some reason! ### 5/5 — By Daniel *2026-08-24, version 2.21.0* I love this app because it gives me notification if Saturn it is opposite or if the blood moon is coming this is why I always use this and I always listen to the notification. I’m giving this a five stars because I love this so much. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-22, version 2.21.0* I love being able to see what constellations or plantes there are at night and it gives info about stargazing stuff perfect for star gazers and people that are genuinely interested 😁😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — Wow! *2026-08-20, version 2.21.0* Just wow!! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-19, version 2.21.0* Amazing recommended to stargazers ### 5/5 — MikalSmouter *2026-08-18, version 2.21.0* Like 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Fun but hard to control.😕 *2026-08-15, version 2.21.0* I really like the way this app works with what you can do but when it comes to controlling it ends up being very difficult to see some constalshons ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-14, version 2.21.0* Perhaps the best overall preforming app to use to see what is happening in your sky. Easy to use and to navigate through. Also great fun for kids!! ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2026-08-13, version 2.21.0* Es increíble, me paso horas mirando al cielo, y este programa me ayuda a entender las estrellas, planetas y universo… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
