| 2025-01-20 |  | | At my fingertips, I could literally hold my phone in either direction, and the stars became identifiable. I no longer have to wonder which Constellation I am looking at in the primordial abyss. I love it. |
| 2025-01-06 |  | | Aiming for the stars is not accurate. Unhappy with app. I'm having trouble canceling my free subscription. |
| 2024-10-01 |  | | I love the star gazing apps, they take up a huge chunk of space, but a few are worth it. This one provides pretty cool information, like all alike. But it's all about the graphics! It's supposed to be beautiful. . Constellations which are just handfuls of stars that were grouped together and imagined into familiar creatures or fables or objects. I wanna see them when I pan over on the app. I found geometric style was robbing me of that experience.Constellations are geometric in the first place |
| 2024-07-11 |  | | I was so excited to read about all that this app does...and then the alarm, and the fees, and.......Sorry, just going to uninstall it for now, but am anxiously awaiting the upgraded version which fixes the alarm and a vetsion not.so.costly!!!! |
| 2024-06-07 |  | | I'm thankful, and it's gratifying to see the stars in vivid detail moving shingle across the universe, I'd like to see the planets and moons, I haven't fully explored the entire system although hopeful to see any improvements |
| 2024-06-03 |  | | I DONT RECOMMEND this app to anyone! I had notifications off and for the longest I thought my phone had a virus BECAUSE OF THIS APP. I spent a week trying to figure out why my phone would randomly play a very specific song and vibrate non stop. It did not have an icon, a pop up, nothing. It would do it by itself without giving me a way to shut it off. So I started uninstalling all of the apps until I got to this one and one it was uninstalled the sounds stopped. This app will NEVER be on mine. |
| 2024-05-24 |  | | Started out great. Very accurate and reliable. Then all of a sudden, I kept getting notifications for random, minor events that may or may not happen in my area. Notifications that can override any do not disturb or silence feature. Notifications that wake me up at 4 AM on a weekend. No true way to turn them off. Uninstalled immediately. |
| 2024-05-08 |  | | DO NOT INSTALL! This app *was* cool. But now it has This new alert feature which you can't configure or disable. And there is no way to stop or silence the alert once it goes off (it overrides your sound settings). The only way to shut it up is to turn your phone off. Besides that it's great but that a completely garbage move that was. The only way around it right now is to open the app every day and silence the upcoming event instances. Ridiculous! |
| 2024-05-08 |  | | This app could be awesome because it shares really great events and news articles. However, it's ridiculously expensive and that alarm everyone is talking about it is the worst. The only way to avoid it is to disable the alarms ahead of the updates. Once something is added, it is automatically on and it will go off. Absolutely terrible. Could be a great app. Doesn't make any sense why they would do this. |
| 2024-05-06 |  | | This app started vibrating and playing classical music + bird noises at random times during the day. No rhyme or reason, no notifications or indication this was where the noise was coming from. It utilized the alarm function too, so attempting to turn the volume down when it first started was unintuitive, as hitting the volume while playing would just turn the ringer down. Had to go through and end app processes one by one to identify it. I can only assume the app maker wants folks to uninstall. |
