User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's visual and user-friendly interface for stargazing and locating planets, making it a pleasant astronomy tool. However, many express frustration with the star naming feature, noting issues like inability to see their purchased stars, lack of proper customer support, frequent app crashes, and poor orientation tracking. Additional charges and lack of data saving functionality also negatively impact the user experience. Despite these problems, the app remains popular for its clear night sky visuals and constellation guides.

Easy to use interface with clear visuals to find constellations.
Allows users to locate planets like Mars and Jupiter effectively.
Thoughtful gift feature allowing naming stars and viewing them in the app.
Provides a satisfying and peaceful astronomy experience.

Cons

Star registration feature often does not work; users can't find or see their named stars in the app.
App frequently crashes or shows errors, with poor or no customer support response.
The app fails to accurately track orientation and positioning of stars, leading to poor navigation.
Subscription or additional payments required to access key features, sometimes not clearly communicated.
Lacks functionality to save star registration numbers, requiring repeated manual input.

Recent reviews

I live in the southern hemisphere. This app insisted I was in daytime when I wasn't, and required a subscription in order to change that.

Giving a star named for a most wonderful woman. Sure to startle her and take her breath away, as she becomes aware of the unique and special gift of a star, its location in the night sky as well as the certificate, proclaiming her star, officially.
