I absolutely love this app. Works like a charm, however on the live chart, the compass headings are in the wrong places? On the app it is N,W,S,E when it should be N,E,S,W

C70%
by C####:

Night mode is useless because the advertising bar comes up in white and other colors which ruin night vision.

C70%
by C####:

Good information on satellite passes. Easy to find the times the satellites will be visible. Compass is a bit difficult to use.

F70%
by F####:

Satellite search is useless, resets itself to the top whenever we click on a satellite.

L70%

M70%

This app takes the hard work out of Sat Spotting, the direction finder is fantastic. 5 star for me

V70%
by V####:

A progress bar for each satellite in the nightly events would be helpful, like in the Sattrack app,..

I love the app. However, when using it in low light mode the ads at the bottom of the page are in regular brightness and ruin your night vision. Its kinda pointless to have the night mode with those ads if youre going to be outside in the dark using it.

J70%
by J####:

The ad at the bottom and the heading take a lot of space and interferes with looking at the map.

I've been using this app for years and am amazed at how accurate it is. 5 stars. Keep up the good work.

Very well developed.

I would rate it five stars if it showed better ads. The blinking"storage is full!" ads and dating chat room stuff is a real turnoff. The Blinky ads are really distracting. Show better ads and I would rate higher.

I love that you can be notified from 1 to 10 minutes when a sattelite or Iss (international space station) will be passing over your area!

Great tool for anyone who stares at the sky at night.

Best ever.......this app deserves full stars:-)

B70%
by B####:

It is a great app to see constellations and the location of planets. Also i love how you can see the path of satellites as they pass overhead with some cool information about them. I wish it was easier to find the locations of the planets that are mixed in with stars. Also the times and positions of the nightly events are hard to understand. Overall perfect for someone starting out in star gazing or just interested in satellites. 

E70%
by E####:

I love this app but I get no notifications. This is my second Samsung phone that I have installed this on and still the app will not notify me even though there are upcoming events. Any ideas how to fix this? I'll gladly pay for pro if I can at least get this basic feature to work.

C70%
by C####:

Works very well, though it would be nice to see details about stars, not only satellites (Star Chart by Escapist has many problems but displaying basic data about planets is very nice).

X70%
by X####:

OK for satellite / ISS information, but would be very useful to have in the App the astronomy information also (Moon, Sun, Comets, Planets,...) Basically on the website you may find way more information then in the app. This is the only reason why I gave it 3 stars only, otherwise the app is great.

C70%
by C####:

Tells me I'm facing north when I'm facing due east. Trying to get the reticule over the satellite is impossible, it just bounces across the screen.

Y70%
by Y####:

This uses data from a site that has been around a long time. It works perfectly all the time. You can select what you want to track and it gives you a heads up that you can set however you want. It let's me go see the ISS and Hubble + more and share with my Grandsons. I love it!
