Rating: Stargazing

Luminos

rating aligns with reviews

Experienced hobbyists and astrophotographers keep it as their main planetarium program for planning and observing, valuing the depth and quality of information and the point-device-at-sky tracking. It breaks because the shift to a subscription pulled features long-time buyers already paid for, updates wiped telescope settings and connection points, and one update broke the point-at-sky tracking.

About the rating

327 text reviews with textAvg 4.62 close to storeAvg 4.81, no faking. Reviews are detailed and professional: people plan astrophotography, point the device at the sky and track changes, with concrete criticism about the botched move of old purchases into a subscription.

A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
