### 1/5 — Easy to use

*2025-06-22, version 3.5*

We love this app.

### 1/5 — Missing stars

*2025-04-26, version 3.5*

Search didn't find Alpha Centauri or Proxima Centauri.  Vega was found but it wouldn't locate it for me.  Useless.

### 1/5 — Loading

*2024-12-31, version 3.4*

Takes too long even with Wi-Fi

### 1/5 — Terrible and Can Not Cancel

*2024-10-11, version 3.4*

Terrible app and I can not cancel the subscription. Super annoying.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2024-08-15, version 3.3*

It’s not free, you have to sign up to pay to use, so a bit misleading.

### 2/5 — Not usefull

*2024-06-10*

Does not detect position of constellations, there is only a text (hard to read, with superposition of paragraphs) indicating where to find. A simple static html would do the same...

### 4/5 — Part of me

*2024-05-22, version 3.3*

The fault my dear is not in the stars but in ourselves

### 1/5 — Nope

*2024-04-01, version 3.3*

Do not download this app. If your looking for an app that helps you identify constellations in real time

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-03-02*

Good

### 5/5 — Out of this world!

*2024-01-09, version 3.1*

Very enjoyable and fun!
