It could be way better. – SkySafari 6 Pro Review

I have a few suggestions: 1. The position of the sun seems to be all over the place. The panoramic view and the camera angle needs to be properly adjusted. The sun shouldn’t “always” be in the field of view while turning North, South, East or West “AT CERTAIN ZOOM LEVELS”. It should maintain its position and any slight movement shouldn’t bring it into the field of view. The “horizon altitude” probably needs to be properly tweaked. The field of view bugs out if tilted too high or too low and doesn’t allow for a 360 degree movement/view. It gives a “DOME LIKE” appearance which is not totally right... at certain “reasonable” zoom levels, the app is almost useless to use. It should work appropriately at all zoom levels. 2. An option to select specific satellites to track would also be great rather than having the thousands available displayed at once making the app useless and impossible to view. 3. The screen is jerky on the iPad mini version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled still very jerky. 4. Must have feature: When in AR Mode, can a manual or machine learning AI based “correction” be applied by identifying the position of the sun or moon and making appropriate position and view correction and keeping the correction locked in even after the AR mode is existed. I think this is critical for accurate positioning and data and act as a secondary calibration method. This will also allow for a fix when the on-device compass goes out of wack and will allow manual compass adjustments. Also fixing the “dome like” effect will put the app in the 5 star category. Right now it’s a 2 star max. For the $40 hefty price tag, I would assume this would be a near perfect app but it is far from that. Please have these bugs ironed out so the price can be justified. Thanks.
