  1. 2/5can't select photos

    Follow directions very carefully. I didn't see this: "For best results, allow access to all photos. If you allow access to specific photos, you must only select these same photos from the photo picker." I selected "specific photos" bu I can't actually select ANY photos now and there appears to be no way to go back and select "all photos". And "contact me" doesn't work to ask for help. The only way I can see around this is to delete the app and pay for it again. Why even have the "specific photos" option if it doesn't work?

  2. 3/5It needs to be suitable for astrophotography

    The Idea of the app is good but For it to be worth the money and not have things that meet the astrophotographers needs? The app needs manual stacking and editing software for it to be suitable to be used for astrophotography. For both planetary and deep sky objects. If you have read this thank you for listening to my thoughts and comments! I would appreciate it if you could implement this. Thank you!

  3. 5/5Simple Program without much documentation

    The program seems to have little to no documentation on use and or file formats it can work with. It stacked almost 300 jpegs, but gave me no options as to what I could do to improve the blend mode or appearance of the star trails. The program did stack the images, but Adobe Lightroom did most of the heavy lifting in prepping the images. I guessed that jpegs would work as it would not allow me to select raw files. I give it a 3 Star rating which is a C as it is about as basic as it gets in stacking and does not assist the user in getting more out of the program to achieve a archival finished image. I would only recommend this program for the hobbits who has low expectations and just wants to stack frames.

  4. 5/5A gem of a program

    The Star Stacker app is simple, intuitive, and basic--just what I wanted as an amateur photographer and star gazer--but the results are spectacular! There are 3 settings options and 2 movie options, and easy output into jpeg, tiff, and mov files. I considered buying a program that is more expensive because I believe in "you get what you pay for," but this is the exception that proves the rule. No need to pay more than the $1.99 for this gem of a program!

  5. 5/5Wow!

    I’m an amateurish photographer self teaching myself Astrophotography. I took my first shot at star trails last night and spent all day trying to figure out how to stack my +440 images without crashing my computer. This app did it all AND keeps the file raw as well as provides either stitched together movie or individual photos for a nice time lapse. Wish I found this app sooner! Worth way more than $2.99 in my opinion! Great job creating a simple app that is easy to navigate, not complicated to understand and as a result that is incredibly easy to use!
