An editorial reading of the saved reviews

As a pocket constellation guide people keep it for years and love opening it to learn what they're looking at: point it and realize that's Jupiter overhead, with a nice flexibility of layers. But for some the stars simply don't line up with the real sky even after calibration, the augmented reality lags, and rivals like Star Chart are more accurate. Little things annoy too: fonts don't grow when zooming, and gyroscope mode resets.
