Soooo much fun! I only paid a few bucks and I get to keep the app. They don't charge you monthly like everyone else. Totally worth it! I can see Planets, Stars, and satellites on real-time. I can see what direction I want to be looking at and then I can focus on certain objects in the sky and it gives you a little bit more of the backdrop story. I pull out my phone quite a bit and look to see what I'm looking at. So fun! 🤩 Try it. I bet you will love it so much.

I almost never pay to upgrade apps. My young child wanted to see planets not shown on the free version. Plus, I have a severe lack of navigation, so the background of my surroundings really helps to eliminate questions. After a few prompts to upgrade for $2, I gave it a try. We're really enjoying it, and I was pleasantly surprised by the difference. This is one upgrade I haven't regretted.

I have used this app for YEARS and absolutely loved it! And have recommend it to dozens of people who also love it! However, I recently got a new phone, just an upgrade to what I already had, and now this app won't work 😟 I get a black screen, I can't see anything. I un-installed, re installed twice, and i even upgraded to the paid version and it's still a black screen. I super duper disappointed 😞
