Pocket Universe - Astronomy App Reviews

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.

an app i can customize how i want to use it any night. wether i’m preparing for astrophotography away from my computer, or just can’t remember where an object is while i have my telescope out. it can be simple, or can show some more advanced options if needed. i’ve been using it for so many years now, and i feel like i just need to say it’s the astronomy app you get and can use for a long time. and big thanks to the developer keeping things actively up to date :)

I am a long time amateur astronomer and I love this app. First off I paid to unlock it years ago, and unlike many apps it has continued to be updated and supported when many apps sunset this one has kept going. Thank you to the creator/developer and pleas keep up the good work!

So, there is a green comet that’s around and if you do a search for “comet“ you get nothing there is no help from this app to find the comet and it’s a brief time over our skies this month.

This was the first app I bought when I got my smart phone years ago. I don’t know why I waited so long to write a review. This app is so easy to use, easy to understand and still amazes me with all the things it does.

Won’t search. Freezes.

I love space and this app is worth all the money you pay for it.

i have always loved this app but tonight it won't even let me see the whole screen. are you not supporting this anymore?

Very informative , interactive and easy to understand . Easy to find celestial bodies. Even a child can learn astronomy as a fun game. Best app for all ages. Thanks Ramadass Satya

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.

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

Same problem it’s had since the first version: you try to expand because the text size is so small that you need a magnifying glass to read it - literally - and it expands the dot representing the planet, star, constellation, etc.,everything but the text. If you can’t read the label to know what you’re looking at it’s unusable, especially since iPhone font size is disabled. Shame. It could be so good.
