I freaking love this app, been using it for years to see what star or planet I'm staring at. I do hope the quality can still be improved! 🪐

It was off just a little bit when you're looking at the sky, but right now I can't get it to come off of North. It will not reorient. The only way to look around right now, is to do it manually. I uninstalled and reinstalled but it made no difference.

Great app. Been using it for years. Only slight issue is the light side of the moon is on the wrong side in the Southern Hemisphere.

Couldn't even open it because it's not compatible with newer versions of android. Please update

I couldn't open the app after installing. I got a message saying the app had a bug and to try again after developer has fixed it.

I miss the old version of the app where it was more toned down, and navigated the sky with fingers rather than moving the whole phone. Yes, there is that manual option, but it's very sensitive.
★★☆☆☆Andy Ray· Feb 27, 2025
Very detailed, but you cannot hold your phone on the planet as the location is 360 degrees out on what you are looking at. There must be a reason as most apps have the same fault.
