Ratings and reviews

It's either using a location other than where I am or something is off with my phone, because the directions: N,S,E,W aren't pointing the same as my compass. I've never had this problem before so I hope it's just a glitch. Trying to see comet and finally found it about 15 to 20 degrees N of where this was showing. I caught it right before it disappeared behind the treeline. I'll score higher if it straightens out later. Just 2 for now though.

I'm trying out a handful of similar apps and this has been the best one so far. This does show the comet (C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)) currently passing by very clearly. I was going to give this 4 stars, but then I accidentally stumbled on the feature to show gamma/infrared/etc, which is pretty amazing. Nice movement dampener to reduce sensitivity to shakiness (a different app I tried had the sensitivity too high and I could see my heartbeat lmao). The one time fee for premium is a fair price

The ads are SO long & annoying - the ad version would get zero stars from me - but the cost for ad-free plus extras or the bundle seems to me reasonable & doable. So now I can rate a paid-for version five-stars, so far. The user interface I'm finding easy. The content educates and entertains me. Hopefully, this will turn out to be a keeper.

What's new
