Pretty Good

sdpeters99 on

United States

I started with this app in astronomy and it’s pretty nice. One thing I wish was better was the point around ability. I wish you didn’t have to literally lie down to look at what was up. A drag screen ability would be nice

A sucker for space (warning:could be funny)

YOU DO NEED TO KNOW MY NAME on

United States

AS A SPACE NERD I DECLARE THIS APP A 8.7 OUT OF TEN.🤓👆🏻 Okay i like this app A LOT LIKE I COULD YEET THIS AT MY PARNTS! BUT😭 it can be hard to use sadly😭😭😭😭 BUT (to many buts) I like it I just got a few days ago! I think you should add more information tho😉 OKAY BYE SUCKER🤫🧏🏻‍♀️ (JK)

Instructions would be helpful

I had high hopes for this app but there are no basic instructions for how to use it. I have no clue what all the different images/icons mean. No guidance on how you even get started.

Update badly!!

The information I. This app needs an overhaul of updating to current days. Information about the Hubble for example speaks of 2014 as a future date. Thats just one of the satellites with future info that as already came and went! Thank you!!

Love this app!

Not accurate anymore

Snoozy04 on

United States

This app used to be so accurate, been using it for years and now it’s very janky, like trying to find the moon is easier with the naked eye than with this app. Please fix.

Stopped working

Wahhhhhhh24 on

United States

I used to love this app. For the last month or so it shows the same screen no matter how or where I move it. The horizon is set in the middle and Pegasus is have cut off on the right side of the screen. It’s like a picture that won’t move even though there’s a satellite that is rotating in place. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled to no avail.

Camera Disabled

Avilaguna on

United States

Ever since the camera stopped working my rating dropped. I enjoyed sharing the pictures in real time on my social media feeds.

Not very accurate

tagme06 on

United States

Nice for a general reference, but not very accurate. ISS was off by quite a lot, and the planets are not in the right position either. Other than that it’s pretty fun.
