Planets
rating aligns with reviewsPeople keep it for years as a pocket planetarium: point the camera at the sky and it names planets, stars and constellations, beautifully and clearly. It breaks on accuracy after updates: some lost sunrise times, moon phase showed a day early, the 3D view went black for some devices, and the compass and north-finding drift. It also annoys that you can't change the time zone.
Reviews are concrete with details of place and device: one catches planets in Zion, another complains the 3D view went black on his iPad model. The spread of scores with real gripes and real love reads alive, not padded.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
