User Reviews and Ratings

★★★★★ Defunct?

The “news“ in the app is no longer updating and the website cannot be found. After 13 years it appears that this app has gone to the boneyard. It was a good run.

★★★★★ Great app

This app is awesome, the only people that leave negative reviews are the same people that don’t know how to turn on a computer and have to have their grandchildren fix their technical issues. Don’t be fooled by the people giving negative reviews, this app is great, been using it for years.

★★☆☆☆ I think NEOWISE is in the wrong place

Aside from NEOWISE not being listed under Comets but under Objects, irs location varies a great deal from where other sites put it. This app seems to place it lower and more to the north than other sites. And I’ve checked my location and time settings.

★★★★☆ Motion tracking is broken for iPhone 12 Pro Max

Contacted dev, fix is waiting on Apple approval. Bumped it back to 4 stars for now. Checked current version (6.13.7) and still broken on iPhone 12 AND Xs Compass is waaay off but apple compass is just fine. Even manual alignment doesn’t work. I point north and hit okay and it immediately switches to point west.

★★☆☆☆ Does not work anymore

It seems to be nonfunctional now. Used to be awesome.
