An editorial reading of the saved reviews
A simple sky map praised because you just point your phone and it names the star or planet, handy while camping and during meteor showers. But many are annoyed by the small viewing area, star labels vanish when you zoom, and constellation figures take up half the screen and get in the way when you just want to ID an object. People who remember Google Sky miss it.

Simple phone pointing at an object with instant ID, handy while camping and during meteor showers like the Perseids, shows star and constellation names along the horizon

Too small a viewing area, labels vanish or you get a circle of a whole hemisphere when zooming, can't turn off constellation drawings that cover the sky, unintuitive tracking, compass badly off for some people
What users experience
1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
This is the easiest app on my phone! You literally just point it in the direction of a planet or star and it’s identified. I love astronomy and I love this app!
