1. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Obnoxious Ads. Offensive annoying images now block use of the site. I’m deleting this app

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

   Obscene ads. Really like the app but the ads of nudes running across the top ruins it. I had an severed version but somehow when it updated I got those obscene ads

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

   Great app except for the Temu porno one has to be subjected to. Why?

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   You have to rebuy when switching and it’s not worth it. I purchased this on my android. Recently I had to upgrade and decided to join the dark side and go with an iPhone. Ask apps you paid for on android you have to repay on iPhone! But the purchase wasn’t even worth it in the first place. Do NOT GET THIS APP AND CERTAINLY DO NOT PAY FOR IT. The features they tell you you will get, you don’t. On the plus the adds do go away.

5. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Stopped working 2021. I bought this app a few years ago and have loved it. Now it will no longer start up. It tries and then flashes off. I tried to delete and restore from App Store. Has to install the lite version then there was no way to restore my purchase (restore button did nothing). So to use again I would have to pay 2.99 again. Why? What a scam.

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

   Was very bad. The app was not real it was very fake looking there were way to many constions.

7. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Not accurate. Says north is west. Can’t fix it. Not worth purchasing!

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

   Upset!. I finally tried to use my app on a gorgeous night with a full moon and it wouldn’t even open!! Even tried to update it but finally deleted and found another one!

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

   CRASHES INSTANTLY. It has for years. No support contact.. I have reported this here before, as a 1 star review because there is no support contact provided (the provided web site just promotes their software with no way to report problems). It did work fine when I first installed it, but one day abruptly became complete junk. I hoped the new version, just released a few days ago might fix it, but the same as always: It opens, shows a logo screen for an instant, then exits without a trace. It does this on both my phones (XS & 5S), as well as a friend’s phone. I have tried deleting the app and all its data, and reinstalling. Complete failure every time. Why is this useless crap taking up space on the App Store?

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

    not accurate location. I was trying to get an accurate location of stars while in Hawaii but the app tell me the moon is in a different direction. Disappointed.

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

    Fails to find GPS. The application, even after deleting and reloading, fails to find GPS data or use the location you give it to work.

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

    Crippled ware, bait and switch. Stop working , covers screen with add when exit hijacks sents to purchasing

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

    Date keeps moving and you can search for planets.. How do you steady the previous date and set your location? And then find planets?

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

    Steer clear not usable. Terrible app if using the free version. Location will not set even when doing so manually. Their survey doesn’t work you can’t get past the language question and then it timed out and NO RESTORE working at all. Not sure how this would be getting good reviews at all. It’s completely unusable and there are far better apps out there that don’t want to jack you for money to be usable. Steer clear of this one it’s hit the delete pile for us

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

    Hmmm. I don’t think this app works... nothing make sense when I try it out.

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

    What a piece of crap!. Had this on my phone for several years and it worked pretty well. Then they focused on advertising on the Lite version. Nothing worked. You could point anywhere in the sky and it never oriented correctly. Deleted it a year or so ago. Hoped for the best and downloaded it again. Works even less now. Before it at least tried to orient but was never right. Now the view doesn’t move unless you move it manually. Too bad. They took a good app and broke it. Will delete again and never try it again.

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

    It’s not real. I hate this app, it’s fake, don’t waste your time on it.

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

    Crashes. Will not even launch.

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

    Review. This app is completely bs!

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No restore option on iPhone.. So, I love what the app does. The issue I have is that when I bought my new iPhone, it wants me to pay for the full version again. The window pops up to restore it, but when you click the restore button, the window just vanishes and nothing happens. But ok that same window, if you click the purchase button, boy does that one work. Emailing “support” does nothing. Zero response after several attempts. It’s not that I’m a cheap person, and it’s not an outrageous price, but it’s just the fact that the option that is made to look like you can restore your purchase is basically a hoax. So, if you don’t mind paying for the full version every time you get a new device or you don’t plan on getting a new device, then this app is for you. But if you don’t like having to pay for it over and over every time you get a new phone or tablet, then it’s a better choice to look for a different app. There’s plenty of others that do restore your purchase when you switch devices that are on par with this app. If in the unlikely case my purchase is restored and I can use the full version on my new phone, I will give the five stars back that I gave when I installed it on my first device that I had the full version after paying the small fee. But I will not be forced to purchase the full version over and over, and I will not be paying for it again. If you would like your five stars back, restore my purchase and I will gladly give you back your five star rating.

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

    I don’t think this app is telling the truth. When the sun is right above me, why do I have to point my phone down to see the sun? I don’t understand man

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

    Love this App! But now won’t work!. This has been such a go to tool for learning about the night sky. But after last update this past week, it no longer will even open. 4-25-20. Please update again soon !

23. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    Does not work since last update. Since the last bug fix I can not get the app to work. I tap it to open and then it freezes. I delete it and reinstall from the cloud (only option) and the same thing occurs. Please fix your fix.

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

    Major issue. I really loved this app but after an update (4/1/2020) there is a major flaw. Evidently the app opens in my iPad but then it immediately goes to inactive mode. It can be closed and reopened but then immediately goes inactive again. Too bad.

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

    Star tracker lite. I enjoy the app but it has quit working on my phone I tried everything. I turned my phone on and off no help. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app nope no help. I’m disappointed I cannot find anywhere to get support to try and get StarTracker working on my phone again. I tap on the app to open it and it appears large on the screen for a flash and then goes back down to the icon, it will not open.

26. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    Crashes since update. Crashes now every time I try and open it. Been using this app for years and it’s pretty good for free. But... yeah. Not so good if you can’t open it. So... moving on to something else I guess.

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

    I hate this app. I hate this app because I’m pointing at the pavement and it said the moon was there

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

    Doesn’t work. I downloaded it on my iPhone X. It doesn’t work. It opens but does not pick up any location of the stars or move as I move.

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Won’t stop asking me to pay for it. I accidentally bought something and it didn’t work but it still asked me for my billing account I hope you will fix it

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

    Survey for free upgrade did not work. The app had presented a couple of surveys for free upgrade to ad free version which I took willingly. But, at the end of the survey nothing happened. I could not find any support or contact for help.
