Star Chart
rating aligns with reviewsA long-loved sky map dating back to 2013, but the app is effectively abandoned. People navigated the night sky with it for years and are still grateful, yet newer devices hit constant crashes, paid comet packs lack the promised objects, and support stays silent. Buying it today is risky, the app lives on old affection.
Reviews are full of specifics: buying comet packs for named objects (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, 12P/Pons-Brooks), crashes on iPhone 16, broken Pluto textures. The gap between textAvg 3.67 and storeAvg 4.59 comes not from faking but from old five-stars inflating the average over the years while recent reviews record the decline.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
