Info missing and too much showing off
The app shows most stars , satellites and constellations. However there is a lot of fancy smuck which is useless ( pictures, music etc) . Also information on comets is missing.
Awesome app
Sometimes takes the time to load, but really awesome.
Not working anymore
App used to work great, but now it will only show one constellation, that doesn’t react on movement anymore. I.e. it keeps displaying the same constellation, no matter which direction the phone is angled at. Neither removal and reinstallation of app nor restarting phone helps.
App. not worth the money
Very few spacecraft listed. App is not worth the money
Does not work?
App does not show the planets anymore? How come?
Weird fantasy shapes
I hoped this app was about the starts pity those weird fantasy shapes are over the screen all the time.
iOS 14 niet compatibel
Lijkt niet compatibel met iOS 14. Scherm blijft bevroren op 1 sterrenbeeld, ondanks draaien van telefoon. Jarenlang met plezier gebruikt.
Family sharing NOT working!
Great app, BUT my family members can’t install the app. Send the developer an email. Got no answer ☹️.
bro i like ur app
but add a zoom for pleiades’ sake
