Ratings and reviews

I’ve used this for years. It’s a solid, professional tool without the usual clickbait or ads. However, the "live feed" events need work. Once an event is over or the next day comes, the info is gone. There is no history menu to go back and find what you were looking at. It seems set up only for the moment, which is a waste of good info. Adding a "past events" or archive menu would make this a 5-star app. Great tool, but needs a way to revisit the event feeds.

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.
