Night Sky
doubtful ratingPeople value the rich object reference and the friendly first-run intro to the sky, but recent updates pushed search behind a subscription and bolted on an AI assistant called Aura that pops up on every tap and irritates even longtime fans. They also complain about accuracy: the camera shows the Moon in the wrong place, and the screen is too bright to let your eyes adjust to the dark sky.
The gap between the 4.71 store average and 3.53 text average is wide, and the praise is almost all faceless ('I love it', 'Love this app') with no specifics, while the criticism is detailed and concrete. That's the classic shape of collected five-stars over an angrier real experience.
