rating aligns with reviewsAn elegant, pleasant sky map many keep for years and love for its clean simple look and precise object targeting. The real recent trouble is that the compass is off for some people, pointing the wrong way and not fixed by figure-eight calibration, while the developer thinks the app doesn't need updating. In the southern hemisphere the constellations barely work.
textAvg 4.62 is close to storeAvg 4.78, no sign of faking. Reviews are specific both ways: people plan sky shoots and track the sun for gardening with it, found the NEOWISE comet, while honestly complaining about a compass glitch showing east instead of southwest.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
