Ratings and Reviews
Good App
Works well when the connection is not playing up. I use game pad buttons over the direction keys for ease of use in the dark. No solar tracking on the App (there is on the PC version??)
Nice App, unsuitable for stargazing.
Bought the Sky-Watcher AZ-GTI head yesterday on impulse. Downloaded this app and tested it with the mount last night. Seems to work just fine.
One thing that really bugs me though. When in night mode a white bar remains at the top of the display ruining night vision. Also, what’s worse is that when you want to input a Messier number for example up pops the bright white keypad blinding you even when you have turned the brightness down! All this in night mode!!! That’s on my iPhone XS Max. It’s the same on my wife’s iPhone 6. What’s the point of having night mode that ruins your night vision?
THIS APP IS CRAP FOR ACTUAL STARGAZING!
No landscape mode
Still get white bar at the top in night mode 3 years after it was in a review.
No landscape option , would be nice as using an iPad
Apart from this app works great
