Love it

lydiaistrans on

Now I would give the 5 stars but there is one specific HUGE satellite that I cant find via search. And that’s the JWST(James Webb Space Telescope) please add this. If it is added, can u tell me what it’s labeled?

Inexpensive and lots of fun!

Das Fuchs on

Pretty good detail. Still seeing lots of objects/lights in the sky that the app doesn’t seem to identify but nevertheless a great app for the value. I honestly would give it 5 stars but as mentioned there’s stuff on the sky that is very visible yet not at all in the app itself.

LOVE IT

Makes star gazing a whole lot more interesting.

Great app

Kamloopsian on

I love this app for the nights I like to explore the sky. I have just noticed a glitch that when I try to move left or right the whole image rotates so I can’t even get the moon in the correct spot. Hopefully it’s a one time thing.

Good app

German stiner on

Nice app even if it costs money worth every penny for me but I recommend it to anyone who like astronomy

Love it!

LoriSzy on

This app is one of my main tools used for viewing. I can easily find any star, galaxy, constellation etc… highly recommended upgrading for paid version.

Great app but moon is at the wrong place tonight

Calibration issues

Ryan2882 on

It’s a great app. Recently it will not calibrate correctly. I’ve tried to get it to calibrate but it will not stay calibrated.

Spectacularly informative
