Not a bad app
First purchased the app on a Huwaie phone. Worked great. I upgraded to a Samsung S22 it was not compatible so wasn’t happy. I then swapped to an iPhone 14 where I had to buy the app again. Wasn’t too happy about that but hey ho. On to the app itself. It isn’t great. It can’t always distinguish north and south and the calibration doesn’t always work. However having said that when it does work properly and it’s facing the right way it’s brilliant. Best feature to help is the live camera view. That way you can point at the moon and tell it’s calibrated correctly. It’s for these reasons I gave 2 stars
Fantastic
Absolutely brilliant app, easy to use and full of great information
Good but could be better
General info is pretty good..
No location for the James Webb Telescope.
Also would love to know the location of well known asteroids that happen to fly by close to the earth
Good but needs updating
Why isn’t the jame web telescope on here
Good app but no support and watch not supported
Good app for viewing night sky. Shame all development seems to have stopped and apple watch support claimed in version 3.3 doesn’t exist on current store version.
Upgrade.
Had the lite version for 5 years - absolutely brilliant. Didn’t realise the upgrade was so cheap. It is amazing.
Constant calibration issues
Looks good but unfortunately the calibration is a nightmare. Auto calibration doesn’t come anywhere close and when I set it manually it’s lost with a few seconds which makes it useless.
Great for people who look up
I’m always looking up and wandering what’s what. This tells me.
First class app
It is wonderful. I paid for the full version. Get it you will not be disappointed I have told
Others to go get.
Yes
Yes this is the best stargazing and planet tracking app ever it pretty accurate and if it’s not u can easily fix it not only that but with full version u can easily find galaxy’s and nebula I’d say it’s worth the full version! Overall a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
