Review summary

The app is praised for its simple, real-time planetary positions and rise/set data as a telescope helper. Users find it useful and easy to use. However, several reviews flag DST/timezone inaccuracies and post-update bugs (including install problems and missing/changed features), indicating reliability and localization issues that should be addressed to improve trust and usability.

Pros

Shows real-time planetary positions to help point your telescope; simple and focused functionality.
Very useful and practical as a telescope companion; lightweight and easy to use.
Rise and set times (and eclipse times) provided; aids planning.
Simple, straightforward interface without clutter or AR graphics.

Cons

Time zone and daylight-saving time handling is inconsistent or incorrect, with times shown in GMT or not local.
Update/install issues after the last release (installation errors) and post-update UI changes/bugs.

2023-06-04	Ni*****	This is the app I was looking for quite some time. A perfect companion when not using a goto telescope and do no want to carry a laptop to run Stellarium. It is exactly as i wanted it,no AR graphics and animation and star art..just show me where a planet is at the moment so that I can point my telescope. Perfect! simple and to the point.
