An editorial reading of the saved reviews
A free star map trusted for years to find planets, the ISS and constellations, but recent iOS updates broke the orientation for many. People point the phone at the Moon and the app shows it on the opposite side, some just get a frozen screen. The base is solid and clear, but accuracy is shaky right now.
