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

   Forced purchase. Poor system, forces you to make a purchase

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

   Review. Sun in wrong spot

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

   The new AI thing keeps popping up on my screen. This AI thing keeps popping up and asked me to buy it and every time I zoom in really close and zoom out really far and also when I just touched the screen. It’s really annoying.

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

   Can’t turn off sound without turning off ringer. Great app if you don’t want to hear nature and instead want to hear some AI generated new age soundtrack

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Paywalls and lack of details. I do not recommend this app if you are looking for an app that can showcase you anything besides a few popular stars and the planets. Galaxies, relatively unknown stars, and other space objects such as some nebulae don’t show a description of said objects, instead showing the same details with the same image. they also keep pushing their premium subscription if you just happen to zoom in too much, and push their AI onto you.

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

   Stop trying to shove your ai slop down our throats. nobody likes ai but old people who are out of touch.

7. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Removing useful features. Moon and sun trajectory are gone. They don’t exist anymore. As a Gardner I find this very inconvenient. As an astrophotographer, I find this violently disturbing.

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

   Unusable without “trial”. Not even a search without trial sub ??? And $70 really ??? Really ????? You have to be …… joking but I guess you’re not. Kma in space, ok?

9. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

   Slow not accurate most times. Look at subject

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    What happened. This app used to be awesome. Just point at a light on the sky and it identified what you were looking at. Now it does not. Not sure what changed but glad I did not pay for it. Very disappointed . Will probably remove the app.

11. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Bad quality. Not showing names even of planets, orientation is inaccurate

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

    You changed it. I can not turn off the sound. When the space station goes overhead, the sound wakes up everyone in my house!!! I used to live this app. No more.

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

    They ruined a good app. Long time user of this app and used to love it. That was before everything was either nagging you to subscribe or mess with a pay AI! The last thing needed was AI bloatware. Technically there’s still some free stuff but it’s not worth the hassle, will be deleting and using another app!

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

    ….. This application is so horrible, the AI tells me to pay me a lot of money, and I couldn’t afford it…

15. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    3 day free trial is only a 2 day trial. I downloaded the trial on 5/6 at 8:30pm and tried to cancel on 5/9 at 12:30pm and it had already charged me for one year. When I actually canceled it, it did say my subscription expires on 5/9/2027. Very misleading.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Searching. Tried last night and can no longer search for objects without expensive premium upgrade.

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

    unable to use. no mtter what I do I cannot use it. When I open the app the screen freezes

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

    Not the best quality. I can’t get specs on any random star

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

    A big mess. This app is a mess. Good luck trying to navigate

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

    Horrible. It’s so wrong it’s honestly comical. It tried to tell be that the Big Dipper was Orions Belt like 3 times and then tried to tell me it was like 3 other things

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

    Didn't calibrate and has an weird AI thing. It doesn't calibrate direction correctly on my decice. I know it's this app because the other night sky apps and map apps I've used know where the device is facing just fine. It also has a pointless AI assistant that's easy to open on accident.

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

    It doesn’t tell you what you’re seeing. I thought it would use augmented reality to tell me what I’m seeing. Instead it was a data dump and had no clue and couldn’t decipher it. Don’t waste your money

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

    Stop with the music. I uninstalled after three minutes of doing nothing but tapping through menus trying to figure out how to turn off this stupid background music. All I want to do is look at the stars in silence! I have tapped through every menu option and cannot find a way to shut the music off without silencing my entire phone volume as well.

24. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    DO NOT TRY THE FREE TRIAL!!. I wanted to try the 3 day free trial, which I did. But I was NOT notified of the upcoming ending of the trial and I was charged $74.19!!!!???? Typically with free trials an email is sent before it’s up. But nope! No notice was sent and I was charged. NOT HAPPY!

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

    Doesn’t work. I have not been able to get this to work on my iPad Pro at all. I’ve restarted the iPad I’ve turned it on and off and the app just crashes..

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Wrong information/Excessive in app purchase popups. Gave the wrong position of the Artemis 2 shuttle as it re entered. Makes me wonder what else is incorrect on this app. This app used to be good but now it just tries to shove subscriptions and paid content down your throat every 5 minutes.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Forcing subscription. Had this app on and off several years… the constant subscription pop ups and AI are ridiculous and obnoxious.

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Come on!. Locking advanced features behind a paywall is fine. But locking basic discovery…. like finding the moon……behind $70- in a space app- during a major public mission- is insane. Ending curiosity at the exact moment we should be encouraging it. Shameful greed and a great reflection of life in 2026.

29. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Signed up for a three day free trial and got charged full rate. 👎

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Keeps glitching out. IT KEEPS ZOOMING IN EVEN THOUGH IM ZOOMING OUT AND THEN IT PUTS THE DANG SUBSCRIPTION THING ON THE SCREEN
