Te veel reclame

Er zit veel te veel reclame in maar verder goede app

Developer Response ,

Dank je. Advertenties kunnen worden verwijderd met een speciale in-app-aankoop. Dit is een gratis, door advertenties ondersteunde versie van de app. De betaalde versie heeft geen advertenties.

Weinig taal ☹️

Waarom geen Turks ?

Developer Response ,

Helaas kost de ondersteuning van de Turkse taal ons te hoog en zal het nooit lonen.

Here today, gone tomorrow

In 2012 I bought the Star Walk app.If I remember correctly it sold for around €10 which, back in 2012, was considered expensive for an app.
But it was worth every cent, mainly because the groundbreaking augmented reality feature. Whenever I was on a beach, searching the sky with my iPhone 4 I, I was sure to draw a small crowd.
I often let my iPhone pass from hand to hand to share the magic.
Then, somewhere around the time when I had the iPhone 6 or SE the augmented reality feature suddenly disappeared from Star Walk.I later found out that it no longer would work
on the Star Walk app, however it would be continued on Star Walk 2.
There was no upgrading, buying the new Star Walk 2 was the only option.
I’m guessing that somewhere along the line a Star Walk update came with a hidden function to disable the augmented reality.
I did buy Star Walk 2 of course, but it kind of left a bitter taste the way I was forced into buying the new app- I would have preferred an honest communication, explaining why the augmented reality in the old Star Walk app was being discontinued,
maybe offering a small discount for existing customers.
Other than this sidenote the app itself is 5 stars without a doubt.
