The app often crashes when I try to open a recent photo. I’ve contacted support and never once heard back. Stay away! ### 1/5 — kicks me out *2024-11-04* i press the photo option to take a photo and when its finished it freezes and then micks me out the app ### 1/5 — I MISSED THE NORTHERN LIGHTS *2024-10-12* I was so excited when I used it I saw nothing this app was useless I missed my chance I am so upset and it’s all because of this app terrible this is a once in a life time chance you are so lucky I had my moms phone to see it😡🤬🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡 ### 3/5 — 闪退及卡死 *2024-07-25* iphonexr，昨晚从ios15更新到17.5.1后StarryLens就无法正常使用，拍照曝光结束后会闪退或黑屏，这实在非常遗憾因为StarryLens是一款相当好用的拍摄软件 ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing. *2024-05-12* I downloaded this to see the northern lights and every time I click on the “Star Mode” and take a picture it “processes” and then crashes. These northern lights was a once in a lifetime experience and I didn’t even get to experience them bc this app. I didn’t get any good photos out of this app so it’s getting a 1 star from me. ### 2/5 — App used to work fine before update. *2023-12-28* So after the latest update, the app crashes when i select galaxy mode, and using either of the other two modes, when i press the shutter it stays on processing then closes. ### 2/5 — 银河模式望优化 *2023-12-18* X S M a X的银河模式太槽糕，望优化清晰。 ### 4/5 — Awsome app *2023-09-13* Ok i like the app its really good for beginning but could yoy add the options to do videos ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs update *2026-03-24* The app crashes to much ### 1/5 — 闪退 *2026-02-20* Xr拍摄时闪退 ### 1/5 — No way to cancel subscription *2025-10-23* There is no way for me to cancel my monthly subscription for this app and no way to contact them. ### 1/5 — Needs iPhone 17 & iOS 26 update *2025-09-30* This app has not been updated for a year, so it's very outdated. The app has issues and is NOT fully compatible with the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max. (Because it's not been updated for a year) using iOS 26. Not recommended until a new version is released, if that will even happen. ### 1/5 — Almost worse than a normal camera *2025-09-06* It doesn’t even do anything that the standard camera does. The picture quality is terrible too. I would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Dud. Put this app in a black hole. *2025-08-24* I do not usually purchase apps and I’m regretting that I purchased this one. It has been a total waste of money. The star trails works about 25% of the time. Every time I put it on a stable table and I leave it for the allotted time if not more than and it does not often work well at all. How to focus and chaos. The Galaxy mode and star mode do not give me anything better than just regular lens. In fact, often worse. The city mode was nothing to write home about either Save your money and find something else ### 1/5 — 垃圾 *2025-08-16* 垃圾 ### 1/5 — 为什么我拍的全黑？ *2025-08-02* 为什么我拍的全黑？ ### 1/5 — Piece of junk *2025-07-29* Doesn’t do anything it is it does. Native iPhone camera does a much better job! ### 1/5 — Unusable on some iPhones *2025-03-14, version 1.4.3* The buttons are off the bottom of the screen. It's literally unusable. And looking at the photos it actually takes, I'm not sure I'm missing anything. I wanted something that could take photos of the moon during this lunar eclipse, but there's no zoom, and it doesn't focus on the moon. So for my purposes, it's worse than the built-in camera app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 好 *2026-03-14* 感觉非常的美味🥹 ### 5/5 — 超级清晰，很好 *2025-08-23* 很清晰，就是要保持不动 他 ### 5/5 — Good app and getting better. *2024-10-18* This app is an excellent tool for any star gazer, it’s easy to use and provides you with ample options to make sure you get that perfect picture! Love the new star trail mode! Can’t wait for what’s next! ### 5/5 — 很好👍 *2024-09-18* 感觉非常好，比原生态相机📷好用 ### 5/5 — good *2024-09-07* good ### 5/5 — 🌕🌔🌖🌗🌓🌒🌘🌑 *2024-08-22* Works Well to capture stars than a regular camera, i have been trying to take pictures with my regular camera until i got an idea to look for an app to take pictures and i found this, not the best not the worst, ill take it ! 🙂 ### 5/5 — 做得挺用心的 *2023-10-19* 星空模式很方便，比其他类似产品拍出来的星星多，也不怕手抖；银河模式希望继续优化，现在噪点还是有点多 ### 5/5 — 直男摄影救星 *2023-04-28* 夜景模式对比原生的太简单易用了！！以后再也不怕女朋友投诉我的技术了。希望越出越好！！！多加几种模式！ ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2023-04-28* The photos I take with this app are awesome. Especially for night sky photos, they are truly amazing! With just my phone in my hand, I can take clear shots of stars. Well thanks maybe next time I won't need to bring a tripod when just going on a short trip with my iphone. ### 4/5 — Crashes a lot on iPhone 12 *2025-06-03* Crashes a lot on iPhone 12, good thing it was just a 3 day trial. But other than that sometimes it works and sometimes it crashes right away. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
