An editorial reading of the saved reviews
For serious hobbyists it's the industry standard: the most comprehensive set of astro-imaging targets including obscure catalogues, up and running in a minute yet deep on settings. The pricing hurts: you pay around $40 for the app and half the good features sit behind another $49-50/year subscription, plus a bug that keeps asking you to buy what you already paid for. People also complain the MacOS version is weak with broken zoom, and the compass glitches.
