  1. 5/5Amazing app

    So the whole reason I downloaded this app is because I seen a bright star and I didn’t know what it was and with this app I found out it was Jupiter ! I love the night sky so, when I seen this app it looked really cool so I tried it out and i am AMAZED so when you first open the app they have a really good deal where you can (totally optional) pay $ 13 for a LIFETIME. Which I was like wow so I got on the app and it had so many features like they will send you notifications (if you allow them to) on when space event will happen and it has this setting where wherever you move your device it will show what is there and it also will show you where satellites are! This app also has a calendar where it will show you space events and where and when you can see them at! not only that it helps you keep track of the moon phases which love and they have way more features you can have fun with!!! I love this app and I highly recommend this app

  2. 2/5This app blew my mind… because it’s SO BAD

    So this all started in New Mexico when my parents and I saw tons of stars, the Northern Star, Orion, and the Big Dipper. It was so pretty that my mom suggested that I get an app to identify stars. So the day after, we drove home and I was looking for apps 2 days later. And I found THIS. Looked decent, 4.8 out of 5 stars, mostly rated 5 and 3. So I got it, and these are my 5 biggest complaints about this. 1. A freaking ad pops up every 10 seconds 🙄 2. I can do barely ANYTHING without a freaking subscription 😭 3. Doesn’t even recognize the town I live in as an actual town, so it’s probably tracking stars from like towns away 😠 4. It’s so freaking confusing to use 😤 5. Won’t let me zoom out/ in than just a little bit😡 To the publishers: You really could of done better, not loading up 50 ads an hour for games no person wants. Give these poor people more access to the app without a subscription that you need to do almost ANYTHING. Let people zoom in/out more to a smaller/wider view. And last, give like, a tutorial to stuff so it isn’t confusing 🫤. And if you respond to this, publishing guys, you BETTER improve the app, and not just send me a response that says to visit your website.

  3. 4/5Cannot find things in Compass is way off

    I’m just glad that I didn’t pay you the $13 for this app when I’m looking directly at Orion and it didn’t identify it or the big dipper I’m glad that I tried to before I went camping wasted two hours I’m gonna find my app for what my buddy has and his was free forever. I should bill you guys for the two hours. I lost. Went to your Tips. We’re not helpful at all. Try to fix the Compass the way it said would not work 20° off. I’m real glad that I did not pay for this. And when you put your ratings of how many stars you should get zero should be one of the options. Your tech team was no help whatsoever. And I’m glad I didn’t have to use this in a real world emergency … my advice is if these guys were mine, they will be kicked off the job. ASAP I’m just glad I had enough friends to try this thing out first. And I can’t really believe that your compass is off by 20° and then could not find Orion. My God you can get somebody hurt with we doing dumb stuff like this. You get a big zero for your stars.

  4. 5/5Awesome App

    Stellar app! 😉✨🌌 It’s so cool how it allows you to see the constellations in your own night sky. My brother and I were wondering what a bright orange “star” was in the sky, and we found out that it was Mars from the app. But indeed it has much more than star and planet identification. The app gives so much information (and random fun trivia) about everything you see in the night sky. Just click on Mars and the app tells you innumerable tidbits about its whereabouts, orbit, planetary information, etc. Then, you can scroll in, and suddenly Mars’ moon will come into sight, and you can find tons of information on that too. Truly a brilliant app. P.S. I forgot about the constellation info that’s super interesting, and also the app gives you a night sky calendar, which includes everything from the lunar schedule to when you have the best odds of seeing meteors ☄️from your own backyard.

  5. 5/5WOW!!

    Man this app, so far is GREAT! And the subscription price is insanely cheap to boot! Been looking for one I liked for while now that I didn’t need a degree just to understand how to use it, etc, & at a price id be cost okay with. Also, I was actually wow’d by how I ended coming across this app, which was after got I read what info the app I was using had I saw something where could find out more about it. Link went right to it and a few sentences in, I literally stopped to see what app it was on, didn’t recognize it, so checked that it wasn’t already in by ‘queue’ of apps I download, rather than reading about, cuz besides how exhausting that gets, as I’m sure many of you can relate to by now IF you’re still reading my review, haha, anyway this app rocks. Plus couldn’t believe how cheap it is and just keep liking it more ‘n more. Anyway, I think this app is great! Thank you!
