???????

Like the app, but trying to review it, it automatically gives itself a 4.2 rating. Even typing, changes like in to love to start with.
Again like the app but don’t like being told what I like.
Even now the autocorrect is messing with my writing. Having to recheck everything.
I appreciate that it may well be Apple, but haven’t had this much interference before.
Still a good app, but don’t like the pressure to upgrade all the time.
4 not 4.2 just sayin’

Free version very nice.

Very nice app, music is soothing, my daughter (8) adores swinging it around and finding the different constellations so much that I'm upgrading so we can keep enjoying it. Also works inside the house. Free version, names the zodiac constellations and their stars, also shows star orbits and some satillites, along with planets, so it's great for younger kids or beginner adults!

I love this app

This is great for me. While I am interested in all things space, I don’t have a huge knowledge so it’s great that I can just point my phone in the direction of anything that looks interesting and it will tell me what it is.
