Ratings and Reviews
Difficult to calibrate
I like this app, but it’s not calibrated the moon, for example, is about 45 degrees off from the actual position. Now try using the camera function which says use two fingers to move the…well I’m not sure what it moves. But I cannot align the real position of the moon to the screen overlay of the moon. Aligning the app to the heavens should, in my opinion, be the simplest and easiest part of the app. But it’s not.
Developer Response ,
If you experience difficulties with the app’s functionality, we recommend contacting our support team. You can do this directly from the application by selecting the "feedback" item in the menu.
This app is very trash, get another one.
I love the night sky. I love space. And I’m frequently looking into the abyss and needed an app to help me out.
So this app looked really good, I downloaded. And it’s worse than one of those clickbait movie streaming websites in terms of ads. The app is almost completely functionless, every tap I make pops up an ad and that’s not the worst part.
After throwing at me ads every 3seconds of use, and that is not an exaggeration, probably even an understatement. The app still makes you pay for some of its most useful features.
It’d make sense if you gave us ads but then provided everything for free, or, no ads but you’d have to pay for premium luxurious features.
TL:DR- this app is horrible I don’t recommend it one bit. I DO recommend SkyView lite though if you’re looking for a free companion thats not as disgusting as this one.
