1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not user friendly. Hard to navigate

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Unable to cancel. Make it difficult to cancel subscription just FYI

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Junk. Doesn’t do anything

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Terrible money grab. you can’t even explore the app to try and learn it, without being bombarded with ads. The devs are looking for money, not to assist Astro-enthusiasts. Stay away from this terrible app. Positive reviews are likely bots and/or shills.

5. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   I HATE IT. I AM AN ASTRONOMY FAN AND I WANT TO KNOW WHERE ALL THESE EVENTS ARE HAPPENING SO I PUT MY LOCATION ON THE APP AND IT SHOWS ME AN ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE AND I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT AND I SEE IT IS EXTREMELY EARLY IN THE MORNING SO IT MUST BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD. IT IS GIVING ME FALSE INFORMATION! IT IS HORRIBLE!!

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Intrusive. Allow me to point to the constellation

7. ★★★★★search fails to find what is needed

   Nothing is easy to use in this app, I spend more time trying to find the info than star watching. The app suggests a great event to see,I search for when and where in the sky , and rarely find the info, so usually do a general internet search to find where and when to look I wish it were easier to use. I have gotten to the point I rarely use the app any more. It’s really just a map to help identify what can be seen.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Lifetime subscription is scam. I paid for the lifetime access, they charged my card. Then they started charging me 0.99 per month. Called apple and they couldn’t do anything for me! I had to request a refund. Was told by Apple that I had to reach out to the vendor myself! Poor customer service. Great app, but no good if they take your money and don’t provide you with the acces you paid for!!! Then charge again month after month!!!

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Totally Useless!. The app does not give a real-time view of the night sky. Navigation is horrible. You’re better off buying a book on astronomy and looking at the pictures.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Really charging more. Now that the sky has a show of planets and specially Saturn you are charging for access given before under the same subscription. Ridiculous! The app works well but you should stay true to your promises

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not work. This app does not work because it just shows you what things are not what’s actually there I front of you

12. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Used for < 1 minute and an ad popped up. I’ll probably delete this app since it’s unusable. I have no idea what it does because the ads are so frequent. And I won’t buy the $13 version without knowing what it does. Why not give a trial period without ads so users can see if they even like it? Disappointed.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    no. why did I download if I have to pay to view information about the MOON

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid the one time fee and still getting charges. I paid 12.99 for the lifetime premium subscription, but two weeks later got charged again. I’ve reached out via email because the feedback button in the app does not work. It’s been several months and I’m still getting the monthly charges. I like the app and I don’t wish to cancel, but why can’t they fix this or at least respond to me with more than a link with instructions to cancel. If they would address this, I would gladly rate the app 5/5 for usability.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not really free. I’m just a causal user. I opened it today because I received a notification. All of a sudden a stupid game ad popped up with no way to turn it off except install the game. Ok no problem I just deleted Sky Tonight.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Boring. Nothing is explained. I downloaded it thinking I could learn more about the constellations and the HEAVENS. I’m not an astrologer , just curious about the night sky

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hard to use. Doing everything does not make it better

18. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Week free trial is not free. Cancelled subscription after 4 days and still got billed. Worthy of a good review but not as expected.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Billing. Keeps trying to bill me even though I canceled the subscription. It’s a scam

20. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Beware. It was supposed to be a free trial and then .99 a month but charged me 89$.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Cheated me. Was suppose to be 12.99 and charged me 45.99

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App timing off. Sometimes the app does not pick up the correct time. For example, it thinks the sun is still up right now at 7:25 PM central standard time.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No zoom out!. It used to zoom out so I can see the whole northern sky, but not anymore! Just a snapshot of a 10th….

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Stars and Planets. PLEASE show, (Name), the stars and planets I’m looking at!

25. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Ads. 1 star for 2 long ads in the first 30 seconds

26. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Compass will not calibrate correctly. Compass is 180° off north is south south is north east is west west east this is incorrect. I did to figure it to calibrate the Compass and it was still incorrect. Not sure what to do at this point not very useful, especially if you would be lost you would go the wrong direction.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not so Good. I have no clue how to find anything, unless I point it too the ski. Well this app doesn’t do that.. to hard to use! Don’t like it.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible. Most of the time it is not correct

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Backwards Logo. If your logo is supposed to represent the Big Dipper, it is turned backwards from the way I see it in the sky. if you explain why, I may try the app. Lacking that, I wonder what else might be depicted incorrectly.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Look better. Provide zooming to appreciate the best
