An editorial reading of the saved reviews
For serious observers with a telescope this is still the best tool for aiming and object reference, many buy every version for years. But recent updates added game-like and social features with sound effects that get in the way of veterans, and Live Sky is called useless. On top of that there are regular crashes when connecting to StarSense and when adding to an observing list.
What people use it for
An experienced amateur astronomer with a telescope who aims by the app and keeps observing lists
What reviews praise
Precise telescope aiming and detailed object info, the best cosmos reference, easy connection to scopes like the Meade LX600, event notifications
What reviews complain about
Crashes when connecting to StarSense and when adding an object to a list, the interface got cluttered with new games and sounds that a solo observer does not want, the database sometimes cannot find an object
What users experience
1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
I wouldn’t take my telescope out without it! User friendly and easy to connect to my 14 inch Meade LX600 .
