Stargazing made easy

Tif Eccles on

I have always loved stargazing, ever since my father bought a small telescope. We lived in a place in Scotland with little or no light pollution, and on moonless nights in the winter we could discover really cool stuff, like the moons of Jupiter and Saturn’s rings. This app makes identification of celestial bodies and constellations easy, and gives you year-round tips of what to look for. Much recommended.

Very Powerful, but an Imperfect UI

Bart B on

The sheer power of the app is wonderful. It renders the sky beautiful, and the ability to point it at the sky and have it show you what you’re looking for feels like pure sci-fi or ancient magic 🙂 However, the interface is often unintuitive, and I’ve found my attempts to use it without reading the the manual to be frustratingly futile. Once you learn the secret incantations, and as long as you use the app regularly to keep in practice, you’ll be able to assert control and unlock this app’s great potential.

Love the app but...

Badgerbang on

Hello I purchased the bundle, and it worked perfectly until I paid for the upgraded planets, now it crashes on loading up 🙁, I know it's hard being a developer you want to share this amazing idea with everyone and I think you cracked it with this one because this really is an amazing app bundle and worth every penny. I have deleted it and reinstalled, but to no avail I'm afraid. All the best and keep developing.

A bit hard to see

Taxus baccata/ on

When I zoom in I want the text to zoom because that’s the whole reason I’m zooming. Heck it’s not because I want to see the star itself is it ! Sheesh

Great app. Please update the Apple Watch complications so they are compatible with the new info graph style.

Super app

Mr

Thomastown man on

I purchased this app five hrs ago now all I get is a blank screen and the music please explain

Covers everything in the night sky in great detail.

Dony201 on

Great design. Everything in the sky covered in this app. No need for any others. The free version covers everything so nicely without any frustrating in app purchase restrictions. I use this app and am hooked so i got the full version. I suggest you do the same before they realise that this app should cost more. No 1 astronomy app

Great app but......

Brady gal on

When I got this app it was app of the week and was free ,so I thinking it looked quite interesting downloaded it. I really liked it and decided to buy the all in one bundle . Everything downloaded perfectly except deep sky objects which instead of saying installed or the download percent it just said extract thus the all in one bundle said extracting as well . It had been like that for about twelve hours and now I have deleted the app and am reinstalling it now but can someone please tell me what extract means or if I'll get the money spent on it back .

Rubbish
