Features & Capabilities

AstroShader is an astrophotography app for capturing, aligning, stacking, and editing night-sky images directly on iPhone. Use a tripod, telescope mount, stand, or any stable surface to photograph stars and other celestial scenes without needing a computer or subscription.

Set exposure time, ISO, white balance, camera type, focus, and capture count, then align and stack images live as they are captured. AstroShader also supports stacking images from your Photos library, interval shooting, calibration, background extraction, histogram curves, sharpening, low-light enhancement, and detailed tonal adjustments. Save finished images as HEIF, PNG, JPEG, or 16-bit TIFF.

User Reviews

AstroShader is praised for producing striking astrophotography with an easy UI and real-time stacking previews, plus strong potential and beginner accessibility. However, it suffers from stability issues (crashes, black frames), unreliable stacking for untracked shots, camera limitations (ultra-wide not supported, limited manual controls), and triggering/save quirks that hinder reliability across devices.

Pros

Delivers stunning astrophotography results when it works.
User-friendly UI with a real-time stacked-view preview.
Rich feature set and potential for advanced processing on a phone.
Accessible to beginners with quick, impressive results.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes across devices and updates.
Some updates cause all-black frames or failure to capture images.
Automatic stacking struggles with untracked shots and star misalignment.
Limited camera support (ultra-wide mode not supported) and lack of manual controls (ISO, white balance).
Remote triggering and save behavior can cause vibrations or unreliable captures.

Recent reviews

Honestly this is the best Astrophotography app I’ve used it’s pretty simple and effective and although it’s not as good with planets it makes up for it with the cool views of stars and deep sky objects through my 114mm telescope I was able to see the ring nebula clearly, clusters and many things that are pretty difficult to see otherwise so yeah w app, but one last thing to help with planets I’ve found that looking at it through the live view and taking a screen recording can give you detail without the problems of it moving during exposures.

Used to take T-CrB (mag 12) nova everyday, while weather permits in the past more than a year. Ever since after version update, since late June., the updated app can not produce good enough picture. Can you provide the older version such as the 1.0.38, the version just before the v1.2.0, so that I can continue to picture the T-CrB. Thank you.
