## Review summary

Users praise SkyView for rich satellite data, real-time overhead info, and portability, plus solid telescope compatibility. Recurrent complaints center on an outdated/incomplete catalog (missing Starlink/Webb), a cumbersome UI/AR workflow with many toggles, and data accuracy issues. Some users also report performance problems or a preference for the older version. Overall, the app is valuable for locating satellites, but data freshness and UX improvements are the top recurring needs.

### Pros

- Real-time satellite visibility information (how many satellites are overhead)
- Portable and reliable for night viewing and travel (including in-flight use)
- Ability to track satellites individually and flexible catalog control
- Good compatibility with telescope hardware (e.g., NexStar) and overall utility

### Cons

- Satellite catalog is incomplete and outdated (missing major satellites like Starlink and the Webb telescope) with slow updates
- UI/AR workflow is cumbersome and cluttered (many category toggles; hard to view everything at once)
- Data accuracy issues (statuses can be outdated or incorrect, e.g., Tiangong) and occasional misidentifications
- Occasional performance problems or user desire to revert to an older version (frustration with changes)
