User Reviews
Pros
- All-in-one automated workflow for astrophotography (goto, guiding, imaging, autofocus, planning) that simplifies long-exposure nights.
- Portable, compact device that runs on battery, removing the need for a laptop.
- Growing feature set and ongoing improvements (live stacking, autofocus, planetarium planning) with a helpful community.
- Responsive user support and active community feedback channels.
Cons
- Frequent bugs introduced by software updates; users report difficulty reverting to stable versions and QA concerns.
- Unreliable connections and device discovery; frequent disconnects and 'ASIAIR not found' errors across platforms.
- Polar alignment and plate solving reliability issues that worsen after updates; goto and guiding problems observed.
- Limited hardware compatibility and ecosystem constraints; several non-ZWO cameras/mounts are poorly supported or unsupported.
- Lack of built-in issue notifications and some UI/UX shortcomings (needs UI refresh) that hamper situational awareness.

Please bring back the autorun visual progress bar on the main screen. It is much easier to see at a distance and when half asleep.

Promise of the ASIair is effortless astrophotography. Reality is far from it. Each new version contains worse and worse bugs for users and any serious logs or information that could help debug is walled off from the user. ZWO needs a step change in their software quality for ASIair to live up to its promises

I quit allowing my app to update since the first time the update broke the application for weeks until zwo fixed the problems they introduced. Seems like they do very little testing of updates prior to release and they offer no way to revert to a working version. Imaging time is too precious to waste on a buggy software update that renders your setup useless!
