I really enjoyed this app as when I was sitting out under the stars with my family I would go on this app and see the stars and the zoadics. It’s a really cool app and super useful if your interested in star gazing although most things cost money and I personally don’t think it’s worth buying these things, but if you really love star gazing then you should get this app!!
Amazing but one problem...

Version 3.6.1
When I first saw this game it looked beautiful and really interesting! I downloaded it and started playing it, after harassing the buttons I pressed stars on and it was AMAZING! I explored and found all the zodiacs, then I didn’t know what to do. Most of the things and extensions cost money and I was not feeling to waste it on this game. I got bored of it and then soon after deleted it. This wasn’t a fun nor nice experience since I only found it cool at the beginning. Please make more updates and things to do!!!!
🥺😔😢😩

As a newbie who’s curious about what I’m looking at in the sky I downloaded this app. It’s brilliant, shows the main satellites, planets and stars in an easy to use format. Seriously considering upgrading to see what else it does.
Doesn’t know where it is

I was physically looking at the plough and the app got lost and was saying it was in a completely different place. Ruined my stargazing evening with my new boyfriend who I was trying to impress with my stargazing knowledge.
Maybe it only works when you buy the app?
Not happy ☹️

I learned to stargaze through this app. Every night I gaze out to the sky and every twinkle acquires meaning. Vega and Altair and mighty Jupiter aren’t just larger than standard spots. They’re there, well described. I love it!

I like the fact that it integrates the camera, but when I point my iPad at at star, I want to know its name! Planetarium app was great, but now discontinued, did just this!
This app doesn’t, just the constellations. And NO menu to get that information that I could find, so not much use at all.
Absolutely Brilliant

Version 3.6.1
I wasn’t that interested in stargazing before but then i saw a stargazing thing on TV and i wanted to have a go at it. I found that the best way to do that was by a stargazing app and this was the first thing that came up. This is probably the best app for stargazing for what I’ve seen. I also like the Augmented Reality feature. It was really funny seeing Jupiter on my sofa. The constellation identifier also can help find stars because I was looking for Polaris and highlighting Ursa Minor really helped. Although i forgot whether you were supposed extend down to the brightest star off one end of it or go to the end of the tail.
Love it

Downloaded this app last night to identify the stars we could see from our balcony, and I know I’ll continue using it already. Very smooth, I also find it so cool that you can see what going on below the horizon! Kind of magical if you ask me 😂
Fascinating

When you look up at night and see the twinkling of the stars and planets it’s great to be able to identify each planet and constellation. The movement of the international space station and Hubble is an added bonus. Its just fascinating. The app is clear and easy to navigate.
Lovely app!

I am from Northern Ireland and I have a problem because when I go outside at dusk and see the moon in the sky, centralise my screen centre on the moon, the app shows the moon to the left almost half a screen off! Same with bright stars, half a screen off. My phone is a brand new iPhone 11 so shouldn’t be the phone. Are my settings wrong? The compass on my phone is working 100% because I checked against a manual compass. John
A new passion!

Since the buzz about the StarLink satellites , I’ve enjoyed using this app. However I agree with previous comments about how constellations still show up indoors and would like to see the locations of the StarLink satellites. Could the creators get back to us about this please?
