Ratings and reviews

I loved this app when I 1st got it. I liked seeing where every constellation, planet locals, & meteor showers were; plus, the music is phenomenal! However, I've begun noticing that locations of many focal points are wrong. For example, I'll point my phone to the moon. I'll see it in the night sky with my eyes, but it's not shown on the screen of my phones app. There is an arrow on screen pointing to the moon; if I turn my phone to the right, it will find the moon, but it's faulty info

Visuals are great, but it sends you these notifications that only show you partially about things that entice you, so then you tap on the app and there's no such information there. And at least in my case, I dig for it and can't find it anywhere. So it would get five stars if that was more easily accessed in an intuitive format, but it's great visuals and a fun way to find out what you're looking at, at least, and I do believe those are the primary functions anyway, so a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Had this app on my iPhone, worked great, I could search for any event, including comets, and the app would help me locate it. I switched to an Android phone, happy that I could get the app on it, but it's functions are lacking. There is no search function, only preloaded objects. So, that comet coming through tonight? No clue where it's at and the app won't show me, even when I tap the notification for the comet, I get shot into the app in whatever location I happen to be. For some reason, an arrow kept pointing me to Taurus... Maybe that's the general location of the comet? Not at all clear.
