Beaver Point 4+

My kids were given the TW1 telescope for Christmas. We were exciting to use it but after more than an hour of trying different devices that are all compatible with this app according to the specs stated in the App Store we couldn’t get any of them to connect with the telescope. The phone would connect to the telescope camera but the app would say there was no connection. Very frustrating for me and upsetting for my kids that were looking forward to doing some stargazing.

Hey everyone! I normally don’t review apps, so you should know this is special. I, as well as many others it seems, have had issues with the connection of my BeaverLabs device. In my case, my michaelscope was seemingly on the fritz because I followed the instructions perfectly and could still not connect the darn thing to my mobile device. If you are stuck on the “Click on the link WiFi” screen, forget the device’s wifi on your phone and restart both the device itself and your app. After all this I reconnected to the device’s wifi and opened the app. That seemed to work. How you operate the app itself I am merely a novice at. If you need help with that, you’ll need to look inwards. I give this app 3 stars because I like the device itself, but the app makes me want to go to Atlantic City for the rest of the week and really blow off some steam.

Update: PLEASE update APP soon. Right now the App crashes every time I try to view my pictures and videos. I no longer have access to them because the app keeps on crashing. What’s the point of having this telescope if we’re not able to view or access the photos or videos. Very disappointed now.
