Ratings and reviews

Great at first. After a while it got old as there isn't much to do on the app. My 6-year-old learned everything that's on the app fairly quickly. If it went more in-depth and offered more information for my daughter to learn, she'd probably never give me my phone back. Brilliant idea, just please please please add more stuff to it.

Installed on 2 devices (one Samsung, one Google), will not work on either. Play Store won't refund for some reason, not sure why. Both devices have the same black screen on launch described in a previous review as being caused by the March update. Apparently it isn't fixed. I'd love to update the review if it ever starts working.

3 stars because the original intent for purchasing the app, the point your phone up and see what stars, does not exist. Has good enough information about the planets and some stars and constellations. But you're better off watching content on YouTube as the interactivity part does not exist or work.
