1. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Just plain wrong. This app gives incorrect information about the positions of heavenly bodies. For example, it currently says that Saturn is below the horizon. I can assure you that it isn't. The app either gets my location wrong or doesn't know what time it is.

   Looks useful if it was correct. I'm looking at the sky. Venus is just about to set, the moon and Saturn are in West, and Jupiter is high. The app says that none of them have risen yet. No idea what's wrong. The location is correct, and I don't see anything about setting the date/time. It's too bad, because it seems like a really useful app.

   Disappointed. I was expecting to see a “map” of the sky. I didn’t get that, I got a description of where it it and that it’s above the skyline. Sooty, not happy with this.

   Wrong about planets above horizon. Either the app does not know where I am or it does not know the season. It tells me Jupiter is below the horizon when it has been up for several hours.( verified by other apps)

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

   Disappointment. Not helpful. Inaccurate for my location.

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

   Don’t bug me. Don’t bug me while I’m using the app

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

   Cannot input position coordinates manually.. Useless to me.

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

   Sun data. The sun appears in the screen shots at the App Store. But no sun in the app as downloaded. Ephemeris data is only 1 arc minute. I had hoped for better. And without the sun it’s worthless to me.

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

   It never lets u observe anything. I never know how to observe planets I want to see

10. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Live Sky. The physical characteristics of the planets are incorrect in many instances. Jupiter is shown to be smaller than Earth. Mercury is shown to be almost as large as Earth.

    Went from a 5 star to zero star if I could. This app was great. I used it a lot. Ever since the update it's horrible. The ads now run right where all the info you need to see

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

    Update is a fail! No longer Awesome!. Everything changed with update. Now a Scroogle ad sits over the the necessary info. I would rather they had added an ad free fee. Used to be: Does exactly what it says it does. Quick, simple, and effective! Not any more.

    High as the sky. This app was great...actually perfect until it was updated. Before I had no problem finding our planets in the sky but after the release of the new version it seems loading is a problem and my altitude and azimuth gage always sticks and never works and when it does I always have the problem of knowing a planet is there but when I hold my phone up to it it doesn't vibrate though I'm on the planet and my settings is on vibrate when detected. I give the old version six out of five stars and I give the new version negative two in a half

    Won't work. Says it needs gps which is on and available to other apps. Bad buy until they fix it for OS7.

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

    Crashes. I own an iPhone 4 with most up to date system of now. This app crashes and is currently unusable (says it requires a gps though mine is on). Will check back later.

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

    iPhone support??. Does not recognize GPS on iPhone. Fail.

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

    Will not work. Using an iPhone 4 with active GPS and will not recognize the GPS. Please fix.

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

    Can’t see the sky. Unless I am doing something wrong - I can’t get this app to even show me the sky!

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

    Load of rubbish. Won't change location and won't restore purchases

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

    Rubbish. You cannot use it, it just closes down. What a waste of time. Get it sorted!!! I would give it NO stars but the System won't let me!!!

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

    Rubbish. Just keeps shutting down

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

    Rubbish!. Couldn't even open app it kept crashing! Deleted it after one minute

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

    doesn't work. Rubbish App, doesn't recognise GPS is switched on.

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

    GPS?. Rubbish gps activated 24/7 but does not recognise it. Asks me rate it it does not rate

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

    Live sky.. Dos'nt work. Keeps asking for GPS to be activated.

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

    It doesn't work. Sorry but it doesn't work. It is 10 pm right now and it tells me the Sun is up. I addressed the problem with the designer a month ago and the problem still not fixed.

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

    So Poor!. Loaded it twice, but it doesn't work! It access's my time and location, yet during the day, it tells me the sun has not yet risen. Same with moon and planets. WTF? It can't even utilize the simple gps? Terrible! But the ads work great!!

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

    No info on the sun. Kind of a glaring error for an Astronomy app.

29. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Timing is off. App shows my location correctly, but has the position of all objects incorrect. Appears to be 6 to 7 hours off.

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

    Needs work. Tried lookin up Mars, and it said it was at 90x25d (az/alt) when observationally it was more at 170x75d
