User Reviews

Users praise Local Sidereal Time for being easy to use and for delivering accurate LST times, helpful reminders, and informative articles. The standout pros are its simplicity, useful pro features, and helpful pop-up alerts for planning. However, repeated concerns include alarms that don’t ring or trigger, inconsistent notification behavior (missing sounds, hidden alerts, or difficulty clearing), licensing/restoration problems after upgrading, and occasional stability issues (crashes or slow loading). Overall, when it works, it’s valuable, with strong developer responsiveness noted by some, but several reliability issues limit consistent use.

Pros

Easy to use and meets sidereal timing needs.
Pro upgrade is worth it; I’m happy paying for pro features and the developer is responsive.
Pop-up reminders and notifications are helpful for planning around 13:30 LST.
Informative articles about sidereal time.

Cons

Alarm feature not working: alarms do not ring or trigger on devices, and notifications may fail.
Pro upgrade/restore issues: purchasing the Pro version doesn’t always restore after reinstall, leading to licensing frustration.
Notifications not reliably visible or audible: some alerts don’t appear, cannot be cleared, or are hard to locate.
Stability and performance problems: occasional crashes and slow loading.

So easy. Love it!

I love this app. I use it every day. It’s a shame that the alarm feature stopped working a few years ago. But since sidereal time only changes four-minutes a day, it’s easy to kind of remember. I would happily pay the $4.99 again to get the alarms working.
