User Reviews

DWARFLAB’s Apple app delivers a powerful astro-imaging workflow with GoTo, calibration, stacking, and a built-in sky atlas, plus Stellar Studio processing. It’s easy to get started and offers strong imaging potential, with active, user-driven updates. However, users frequently face connection drops, update-related bugs, and a clunky UI, and some experience OS/device-specific instability. Overall, the app’s capabilities are compelling, but reliability and polish in daily use remain common concerns.
Pros
  • Powerful feature set for astrophotography (GoTo, calibration, stacking, deep-sky object targeting).
  • Built-in sky atlas and intuitive control that aids planning and navigation.
  • Integrated processing via Stellar Studio, enhancing workflow.
  • Easy to start and use with quick setup and rapid capture of results.
  • Active development with responsive updates and feature additions that improve the app over time.
Cons
  • Frequent connection issues and instability (difficult to connect to telescope hotspot, repeated drops).
  • Firmware/update bugs and mandatory updates that can disrupt usage and introduce new problems.
  • Laggy, cluttered, and occasionally confusing UI/UX (slow performance, hard-to-navigate controls).
  • Inconsistent performance across devices/OS versions (iPhone vs iPad, iOS-specific issues).
Recent reviews
The app itself can be mildly clunky at times, but not that insane. I'd call it decent quality overall. The camera itself works good, especially for the price. It does, unfortunately, struggle to track Azimuth objects like Pinwheel or M13 though, it works much better on lower large sky objects. I've taken numerous good quality image stacks under rural skies between city and town light domes. I also wish DL would give us a "manual" auto tracking mode. I haven't found one if there is, and what I mean is that after I point it at a random section of sky, we can set the camera to auto-track that random section. Regardless, the DWARF 3 is definitely worth the buy and I would definitely recommend to any person wanting to give deep sky imaging a run. The Atlas is nice to, because I can use other apps to find an object and then search it in the atlas. I would also like it if DL would consider adding a cardinal (North, South, East, West) directional indicator for their Atlas objects. Right now the Atlas only gives degrees. A direction indicator could save some time for amateurs who are learning the sky and let them disregard objects that might be behind trees or buildings they are near.

Have to forget my wifi to connect, and then I can’t login to stellar studio.
