Star & Planet Finder is plagued by stability and maintenance issues. Many reviews cite constant crashes, failures to launch, and months- or years-long inactivity, with several mentioning a lack of updates. Some users recall it as accurate, easy to use, and helpful for seeing planet alignments when it works, but reliability dominates sentiment. Paid features are questioned given the app's ongoing reliability problems.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability; crashes on load or when selecting planets.

Paid features/content (satellites/constellations) often not delivering value due to reliability issues.
Problems with sky display or identifications when functioning; some reviews report incorrect data.
