    I absolutely love this app, and it does always impress people around me when we're looking up at the stars and then we can just identify them so easily. Sometimes, it is a biiit hard to tell where your phone is aiming exactly, so if there are a few bright objects relatively nearby each other (I am from the city, so typically there are not that many, but) it can be harder to tell exactly which one you are looking at. Sometimes the only way I can tell is by looking at the tint of the star and hoping that I didnt just label Venus as a nearby star, just because it's hard to tell precisely where the camera is pointing. Also, it took me forever to figure out that the app kept turning off my music to play its own ambiance. I would just get frustrated, thinking it didn't allow media to play for like "immersion" or something. It wasn't until I was sitting alone one day, when I realized it was softly playing music the entire time and was finallly able to deactivate it in the setting lol. Anyway, amazing app. Definitely get it!

    This is hands down the BEST free star app in the iOS App Store. It has the most free features of any star app I have tried, and the nightvision function makes stargazing a breeze. Even the notifications are useful. 10/10

    So I bought this app a many years (over 5) ago. It use to show me all the satellites and space junk in the night’s sky. Now it doesn’t and one has to purchase an annual subscription to see satellites and space junk. Plus the compass (directional view) feature no longer works. This app was cool.
  • Great App but No One Time Purchase

    I downloaded the app and love the setup and ease of use. I’m not a fan of subscriptions though, so I deleted it. Any chance of a “One Time Purchase”?
