1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App se colapsa. El app se cierra sin motivo, la desinstale varias veces y no funciona

2. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Positioning is broken. Every time I open the app, it’s convinced I’m facing west except for when I’m facing west. I drive west to get to work, I drive west to get home. The sun is literally behind me, but it’s telling me I’m going west. Busted. Good guide for the stars but why did I pay 7 dollars for something that’s broken

3. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Inaccurate…. I’m looking at the Moon about 45degrees about the horizon and am told it is way below the horizon. I’m guessing that there is some way to calibrate but can’t find how to do that.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Lame. Still pics.. Doesn’t move with camera and identity anything attempting to aim at

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Problems!. For a long time now, sky orientation does not match up with the app. I point my iPad to a compass direction, and the display shows a night sky which represents some other direction of night sky objects.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Use to love it. I use to love this app but now everything is in red and dark, can barely read anything.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   How do I unsubscribe from this app. I changed my mind I don’t care for this app how do I unsubscribe

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t work. Since updating to iOS 14 app doesn’t work. Must be manually moved on the screen to the correct direction which defeats the purpose of the app.

9. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Broken since the update. Ever since it updated to 14.0 it doesn’t work. It opens in a static position facing north even though I’m pointing south and if I tap it to re-orient, it jumps to another static position below the horizon.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    A mess. Can’t tell where North is. This version is a complete mess. Point the iPad South, the app says it’s North. Or East. Or West. But never South. Flips to portrait mode by itself and won’t flip back without being force quit. Really very useless.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t work. Won’t move across the sky!

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    AR. Isn’t it supposed to act like I’m pointing my camera at the sky, following my movement? Well it isn’t. I have to scroll manually, plus it’s not showing an updated sky..,

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Nice app. East and west are backwards

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Update overdue!. The app is fun, but it crashes constantly and asks for compass calibration frequently. However, its location function is faulty sometimes and requires restart of the app. This is a paid app and an update is overdue.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Used to work great. What the heck is going on guys?? I load the app, and it goes haywire wanting to calibrate, and can never finish. Used to work great before the IOS software upgrade. Now it's crappy. Hope it gets fixed. This is one of the better star gazer apps, when it worked.

16. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Don't buy!. Location is not accurate and there is no way to calibrate!

17. ★★★★★поймать конкретное событие в небе

    Starlight star bright I wish this app worked right. A total waste of money and time.I thought it would give me an accurate description of what stars and constellations in the sky where I live in real time.this is certainly not the case we do not have a full moon every day of the month.if you are interested in only learning more about made the constellations are in comparison to the universe this is a good app but not for what is up in the sky tonight.

18. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Inaccurate. Not based on your location and there is no option to set. Complete waste.

19. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Won't open!. Tried to open this on my ipad and it shuts of before the app completely loads

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App unusable. Not sure what happened with this app, as I still used it last year, but the live view is gone and pointing your phone at the sky does not activate the compass at all. Glad it’s a free app, but potential new users might want to know.

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No live view. There is no live view. That is what I bought it for. I am trying to to get a refund. So disappointed.

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Hidden paywalls. You used to be able to use this app to view stars in the sky in real time now everything is hidden behind a subscription. The interface is pretty awful/busy.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Disappointing. Apps was very good but recently orientation has been way out.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Rubbish. While showing great star formations it's compass directions are not correct . Shame

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    What's happened?!. Continually flashing and useless since update!! Zero stars!!

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Good?? No. Doesn't even work,downloaded it even re-booted my phone but just crashes every time!!

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Lovely app but .... ... there seems to be no obvious way to calibrate the compass ... So when I am looking to the E with the ipad in front of me I get the screen showing me what is in the N of the sky so pretty but useless app

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App. Can you instruct me how to use this App I use a Apple iPod point it to the sky with next

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Garbage. This is dumb & it doesn't work. I'd like my money back kthanks

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
