Sky Guide
authentic ratingSky Guide is praised for its beautiful presentation, its science-articles section, and the pleasant ambient music while you use it, and many have relied on it for years. But accuracy lets it down: people with a calibrated compass see a 30-degree azimuth shift, and after updates some familiar features and flyby alerts moved behind a monthly fee, which stung those who once bought the app outright.
Even the praise carries specifics: the science-articles section, the soft ambient music, satellite search with details. The gap between the 4.84 store and 4.2 text average is small, and complaints are concrete (compass off by 30 degrees, Milky Way gone from compass mode).
