Star Walk：Find Stars & Planets
gamed ratingStar Walk has a good base: lots of object info, beautiful star colors, loved and used for years. But right now it's being eaten alive by ads: zoom a star, catch a 15-30 second clip, zoom again, another clip, the map freezes, and even longtime paying users say bought features moved behind a subscription. In practice the app has become almost unusable.

About the rating
Store 4.67 versus text 3.18 with a dismal 44% five-stars, a huge gap. Almost every review at any rating hits one point: so many ads the app is unusable, and the high scores against that look like inflation over a broken product.
