## Review summary

Star Trails is well-liked for its effective, fast on-device stacking of astrophotography shots and its simple, mobile-friendly workflow. However, pain points across multiple reviews include a hard 100-image limit, occasional crashes, and slower processing in some stacks.

### Pros

- Reliable stacking for astrophotography; it does what it promises, merging long-exposure frames effectively.
- Fast compared to desktop tools (e.g., Photoshop) and convenient for on-the-go stacking.
- Simple, intuitive interface that many users appreciate and delivers good results.

### Cons

- Image limit of 100; users cannot select more than 100 photos for a stack (though a workaround exists, it is not ideal).
- Occasional crashes on startup or during use, indicating stability issues.
- Stacking/processing can be slow, taking a while to produce results.
