Very buggy with bugs that have been ignored for nearly a year. These are all very simple to reproduce. Mag limits are ignored and change when zooming. Using the planner to show an object at a future date shows the object at the current date when you click on it. Renaming an Observing list does not work--every keyboard I've tried opens and then closes itself. The blue shaded entries under "Tonight | Calendar", has the text cut off and cannot be viewed. Too many problems for such an expensive app.

Really enjoying this upgrade from Sky Safari 6 plus. I love that touching on a star will give an info . This is great. I loved the blue menus in 6 Plus and wish we could choose this and an option. The white menus are so bright. I do not have a telescope so can't comment on those aspects of the app. Having used SF 6+ a great deal, I am really happy with the upgrade and woukd have given 5☆ if I had that ble menu which just feels so much easier on the eyes. Great app.

This app sells itself as turnkey method to control celestron scopes. It doesnt work on my Evolution C8. Additional s and some tweaking of network settings are needed to control the various scopes - they are not included in the app but need ing after purchase. I'm not a tech guru, so it's not for me.

After I figured out which method to use, connecting to my scope was easy. Navigation works very well. It's been easy to use and the go-to has been spot on.

Had a little trouble connecting my telescope, but once I got it I loved it!! Great app, it's my 3rd one by the way...

Great app... I just can't wait to use it with my telescope... But you know, clouds...

The Observe / Scope Display function on this Android app does not seem to work at all on my NEC Lavie 8 inch tablet. It worked great on iOS system version but I wonder if this an Android bug? Of course I have explored all options in the menu including activating it when no telescope is connected. But it still does not work properly. Other than that, the app is a fantastic tool. But that one critical feature seems to be a major problem for me.

amazing app when it's working. I've had this for about a year now, and it has everything I could ever wish for in a stargazing app, including a very accurate com for a point-and-see experience. lately, the app has been crashing frequently for bo apparent reason, and I have tried reinstalling it several times
