I think that this app is great for a lot of reasons. It is great to use at night when you are trying to figure out what star is which. It is also great to use for finding constellations. While this is a great app, there are a few downfalls. One of the downfalls is the fact that you must buy the full app to receive the full experience. You also must purchase the full app to see all or the stars.
Incomplete and imprecise

This app doesn’t have any data on planets or the moon.
Wish it included planets!

I like the UI and the stars as icons on a plain background. In that regard, it's ahead of other apps. The app has a lot of potential, but it's still pretty rudimentary. I really wish it included planets and showed the horizon.
weak af

innacurate.. poor animation.. the constallations you can actually see app youre not able to know what they are because they want u to pay. only gave this one star because half a star was not an option. poop
“Free”

“Hey download this app and you can look at a bunch of dots in the sky, but you need to pay if you want to their names.” Should have been the real description. I don’t write reviews.
Needs better search

I bought this app to locate a specific star, and paid for the pro version. $2 is not a lot of money. But...there is no “search” feature for stars, I scrolled down through hundreds (thousands?) of stars in the un-alphabetized list and eventually gave up. If you could type the name of the star, this would be a 5-star review

Haters gonna hate

I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews about this app. I used to have a star finder app which I paid for but for some reason it’s been deleted from my app list. I’ve got the free version of this and it’s just as good as the one I paid for. Give it a try it’s really awesome.
FIGURE 8 DOES A FIGURE HATE

I want to rate this realistically but I can’t even get it to work in the first place. The collaboration doesn’t work so I haven’t even been able to use the app yet and I just want to use it because I love me some motherfudging stars and edumuhcation. Please help. I want my money back and I didn’t even have to pay for it )= App creator what do I dooooooooooooooo?
