Very confusing to use. I cannot recommend this to a beginner or medium user. Our club members have added this software to the do not recommend list. Just to confusing for most of the membership some with many years of experience.

There needs to be a way to leave zero stars. I cannot get this app to align my telescope and it works poorly on my IPad. When I connect to my telescope the app flashes between where the app thinks the telescope is pointing and where the scope is actually pointing. The rest of the app is interesting and useful. It is unfortunate that it will not align my telescope. I have SkyPortal, Starry Night and SkySafari 6 Pro. All are written by Simulation Curriculum and work poorly if you have a Celestron scope with a WiFi device, Wedge and Starsense camera. Good luck with this app. I give up! I had this apple on my phone and I had to delete it because the performance was too poor. I have it on my IMac as well. None of the three versions of this app would properly align my celestron CPC 11 inch deluxe edge hd telescope. The app remembers where you last had the telescope pointing when you shut it off. It will not forget that setting. I set up my telescope each night and have no need for the app to remember anything about where I had my telescope last pointed to. It routinely points to the ground when I try and align it. Support has not been of any help.
Fantastic program !!

I like this program lot , I use it at star parties to control different types of telescopes. One I use at the star party is a 25” Newtonian telescope using nexus dsc and severo cat.
Good app but add-ons need work

I have had this for many years including early versions and it is a really good app, but ran into a problem after deciding to purchase two database extensions, galaxies and the GAIA catalogs. I received notice of these add-ons while using SS Pro and decided to purchase both. After the purchase was completed, I did not receive any instruction or notice about the add-ons from SS, therefore I assumed then that they would be installed when I used the app, however I was not sure if it was updated. Assuming that it had been updated, I received a notice that there was a free Apollo 11 add-on and downloaded it. Same thing, there were no instructions or notice that it had been installed. After that I suspected that something else needed to be done and found them listed in the settings to be installed. The problem here is that there is no method of selecting an individual add-on to be installed. If you tap the add-on it will ask you if you wish to purchase it? When you press Restore Purchases on the bottom it will begin to install all apps. It failed to install all of the apps the first attempt. I decided to try again and instead of installing the just the app or apps that had not been installed on previous attempt it begins all over again, that is reinstalling all add-ons. The GAIA add-on is the largest and after two attempts unable to install it even after freeing up memory for it, but the frustrating thing is that you have to wait until it reinstalls all of them before knowing if it successfully installed that one. The Apollo 11 add-on was interesting, but it indicated that there is a View Missions button, however there is no button. You click on the View Missions text in the settings. I still think this is one of the best astronomy apps available, but instructions were lacking concerning add-ons and there should be a way to select an add-on for installation rather than reinstalling all of them.
