User Reviews

Reviewers commonly praise Seestar for its ease of use and intuitive UX, with automation that greatly reduces setup and makes imaging approachable. However, many reports highlight serious reliability problems: forced firmware updates that can’t be postponed or rolled back; crashes on startup and backend activation issues; and connectivity/pairing drops that break control when away from the telescope. Image quality and stacking can suffer after updates due to noise and tracking errors. Some users also complain about intrusive tips or ads. Overall, the software works well when stable, but stability, update control, and backend reliability need attention.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive UX that helps beginners get started quickly.
Automation that handles balancing/alignment, making imaging simpler.
Reliable/positive experience across multiple Seestar devices and remote setups.
Regular updates with new features that improve the software over time.

Cons

Forced or hard-to-skip firmware updates that can’t be postponed or rolled back.
App crashes on startup or during use, plus backend activation issues causing access problems.
Connectivity/pairing reliability problems, including frequent disconnections when 'too far away'.
Post-update image quality problems such as noise in FITS files and tracking/stacking failures.
Ads and intrusive prompts degrade the user experience.

Was able to slew directly to the sun, then after a month it was way off and have to manually slew to it. Having a hard time polar aligning in EQ mode. Otherwise everything is OK
