User Reviews

StellarMate on iOS is praised for support and occasional reliability, especially for StellarMate Pro hardware and as a camera-control option. However, the majority of reviews report frequent crashes, instability, and connection problems that disrupt sessions. Profile loading and device control can be unreliable, and UI issues on iPhone add friction. Despite ongoing improvements and responsive support, stability remains the main concern, with some users finding it usable after setup and others preferring alternatives.
Pros
  • Works well for StellarMate Pro hardware and as a viable option for camera control via a mobile device
  • Strong developer support and responsiveness (Jasem) with ongoing improvements
  • Improvements in the latest versions and active updates
  • Can offer advantages over competing ecosystems (e.g., ASIair) in some setups
  • Noted value for StellarMate OS Raspberry Pi users after setup and debugging
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability across devices (iPhone, iPad, tablets)
  • Unreliable connectivity and pairing; rescans often show devices but fail to connect
  • Profiles and automation features can fail to load or start properly
  • UI/UX issues on iPhone (small controls) and occasional white screen or login problems
  • Less full-featured than some desktop workflows; may require VNC/Ekos for full functionality

An absolute headache! I have never in my life used such a terribly designed app and product that crashed literally every 30 seconds. I’m not joking. If you like to try throw your cash in the dumpster, get this. You enjoy the hours and hours and hours and days and weeks of setting up and fixing and rebooting and trying to connect and when connected waiting absolutely forever for it do do anything but just sit there. It is horrible and never should have been released to the public. This science project by a kindergarten student needs to be destroyed.

I have StellarMate on their StellarMate pro device and I give it 5 out of 5. It works great and beats being tied into the asi ecosystem with the air.
