User Reviews

Users praise Seestar for its updates, star/sky atlas functionality, easy setup, and responsive support. However, they repeatedly complain about intrusive ads, connectivity and stability problems, tracking/calibration issues after updates, crashes, and non-disablable assistant/tips features. These recurring issues appear across multiple reviews, indicating core pain points despite strong positives.

Pros

Regular updates with new features and improvements (e.g., AI noise reduction and better stacking).
Accurate sky atlas/navigation that tells you where stars and objects are.
Fast setup and user-friendly interface with easy operation.
Strong customer support and a helpful user community.

Cons

Intrusive ads and lack of ability to disable ads, including banners on the home screen.
Connectivity instability: Wi‑Fi drops, intermittent connections, and general connectivity issues with the controller.
Tracking/calibration issues introduced by updates, including misalignment or problems in certain hemispheres.
Stability problems: occasional crashes on startup or updates causing the app to become unusable.
New assistant/tips feature is intrusive and cannot be disabled.

Recent reviews

App works great, firmware updates not so much. My S50 worked great until the firmware update in May now it no longer tracks for longer than 15 minutes. July update did not fix the issue and introduced red/green/blue noise into the images. ZWO has left me hanging for over a month on a bug report also with zero response since telling me to re-calibrate (which I did). User beware, app is great but update the scope with the included at your own risk.
