Ratings and reviews

Nice app geared towards astrophotography with pleasant UI design elements and intuitive feel. Uploading images is streamlined with options to be technical with your entry or more lighthearted when you just want to share something quickly. Having a trial period to try before you buy is a welcomed addition. User base feels small with maybe a dozen repeat members that interact. So if you are looking for reach this may not be it...Yet. Given the small footprint, current pricing feels high.

Not what I expected, and the description for the subscription is very misleading! Contacted customer support a couple of times since 17th January and have had no response. May as well just use Instagram as it's free and does pretty much the same thing

Took 24 hours to even be able to creat an account due to the two factor identification. (Would not send code to email, then would send all of them together 12 hours later) No way in app to contact for help No mention of having to pay for access. Must pay for a year with no way to test app or features, or even see if you like it. Needs a free version, and a way to pay monthly at the very least.
