Ratings and reviews

I used to love this app. Now with the update, I can't not point up and get the GPS to aim straight up. I have no issues with Stellarium. Aiming straight up just puts the guide lines circle over to the North at about 45 degrees. Really disappointing. worked perfect before the update. Can't track anything because the phone won't show where I'm pointing. S25 Ultra. Worst part is, I paid for the full version and it just won't calculate.

Well this is totally useless! I expect ads, but if I can't get past them to use the actual app what's the point? Every time I try to open the app, I get to the "select language" screen, an add pops up and I can't get past it. The app won't open and I can't do anything else. I just get redirected to Google Play store for some other app. As far as I can tell this is just an ad generator. Maybe that's just a glitch for your app developers, or maybe it's intentional. But this is getting uninstalled.

I love the idea... but the app is difficult to use. It's hard to zoom in and actually find what you're looking at. Plus, there's the obvious problem that it shows everything that would be visible if it weren't for light and air pollution. Makes it hard to have points of reference to know what you're actually looking at. Also, the controls are unwieldy for a handheld device. I feel like I need a 3rd hand to be able to use it.
