I should have known better!
I should have known better than to spend money on the premium add-on for an app that hasn't had any reviews in 2 years, with many of those old reviewers complaining they paid for premium but didn't get the premium functionality.
That's exactly what happened to me - I bought the premium add-on so I would have the Apple Watch functionality. Apple knows I paid (I received the receipt from them) but the app does not and the Apple Watch functionality isn't there. I've reinstalled the app multiple times on both devices and have rebooted both of them many times.
So that's $4 down the drain that I spent for functionality that would be very useful if it existed, but it does not. I have contacted the developer but haven't yet received a reply. I will gladly update this review and award 5 stars if I ever get the premium SkyORB functionality I paid for.
(Several 2021 updates to the app claim to have dealt with this problem but they haven't.)
Ripoff
Ads come back every time I open the app, even though I paid to remove them. This is crap. Uninstalled in spite of having my purchase price stolen.
Whoops! With iOS 13.1.3 App Is A Black Screen
I received a news banner on my home screen and ‘slid’ it to open SkyOrb. Only a completely black/blank screen appeared. Clicks everywhere were pointless as the app was unresponsive. No (viewable) news is NOT good news! Previously this has been a 5 STAR app! Please fix the 13.1.3 bug. (I have a 10 Xs Max iPhone.) Thanks!
Asteroid tracker
I would like if you could add an asteroid tracker so that it can track asteroids and see where they are headed.The rest of the app was great 🙂
Having fun again
My life is so fast paced. I forget I used to spend hours glued to my Meade With Sky ORB I look up again! Wish there was an app that takes care of everything I have to do after work and maybe even fixes up old scopes that have sat in the basement since grad school. Ha!
Nope
Slow
The best app ever!
I think this app is cool because it provides the latest space facts.
Terrible APP
This app just does not work. Confusing work flow. Freezes up all the time. I subscribed for the one year premium. Big deal, nothing works for over one minute. It’s just a piece of junk. Totally disappointed.
Great idea for astronomy aficionado
The program applications are confusing, should have better way to teach users how to navigate it for better results
A Nice App but needs FIXING ! 😫💨
It's a nice app to keep abreast of what's going on in our solar system.
Unfortunately the Push Notifications are a day late to let you know about celestial events !
