### 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

### 5/5 — Starookie

*2022-08-13, version 2.4*

Easy to use, helps a beginner like myself grasp what I am observing.

### 1/5 — Nothing for free

*2022-08-09, version 2.4*

This app has nothing of function without upgrading to the paid app.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work.

*2022-08-07, version 2.4*

Kept returning upgrade screen.

### 4/5 — You have to pay

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading

*2023-11-25, version 3.1*

You have to pay to star gaze epic failure

### 1/5 — Not satisfied

*2023-11-02, version 3.1*

Do not want to pay for an ap that does not work for me!

### 1/5 — So I have to pay a subscription for free info?

*2023-02-03, version 2.7*

Instead get SkyView and Stellarium

It allows for almost no use without subscription. Since stars/planets/satellites are all there and everyone knows where they will be in advance for years paying $50 per year seems pretty pointless. U can get other apps that have the same features for 1 time payments and those apps can still function with good information with just their free versions

### 1/5 — no stars?

*2022-09-25, version 2.5*

why couldn't i look at the sky and see stars with this app so dumb 0 stars

### 5/5 — Universal connection

*2023-04-15, version 2.9*

I never understood the Taurus rising and other phrases about astrology…but using this, Starview blew my mind away. Wow to see the constellations and planets where they sit in the heavens through the floor of my living room and my ceiling is amazing!  I feel connected to the universe!
