✔ Pros:
- Contains more objects than other similar apps like Star Walk 2 or Solar Walk 2
- Presents a vast amount of information in a clear and accessible way
- Provides detailed information about planets, stars, and satellites
- Offers interesting facts and events, such as the upcoming transit of Mercury
- Has a visually appealing design
☹ Cons:
- Does not allow for orbiting stars or viewing the Milky Way galaxy as a whole
- Lacks 3D renderings of non-Earth satellites and the landing of rovers on planets
- Does not include older trajectories and satellites
- Not configurable enough for serious amateur astronomers at the telescope
- May require too much menu navigation for some users

This app has almost everything
By Arcane Demesne (Pcmac user)
This thing is absolutely worth the money. It has way more objects then say Star Walk 2 or Solar Walk 2. However, I do wish we could orbit stars, and see milky way galaxy as a whole (maybe even nearby galaxies) like on Solar Walk. I also wish there were more 3d renderings of the satellites, and also non earth satellites, and maybe also show the landing of rovers on the planets. I know it's all TLE live satellites, but it would be cool to have the older trajectories and older satellites. Either way this app has probably more than any other app out there, though I have yet to try Sky Safari.

beyond great--celestial
By TSoules (Pcmac user)
The amount of information clearly presented and cleanly accessible is dumfounding.
But this is is no knowledge avalanche. The more you want the more you get, the less you want, the less you get. It's clean. The breadth astonishes and delights me. For example, there's a bright star in Scorpius, theta, whose name, Girtab, this app casually lets you know is from . . . Sumerian! And it just means "scorpion." But, this app, adds, it has another name, Sargas, also from Sumerian--and no one knows what Sargas means.
It's like being out on a dead clear night with a great astronomer. Who knows it all, loves it all, and finds it all fascinating, down to the tiniest little star-wart. But who tells you only what might interest you and only what you're likely to understand.
I see that the developers have (unsurprisingly, considering their app's riches) the great good sense to let me Edit Review. Which, as use continues and knowledge (I do hope) grows, I plan to continue to do.

Very Good - could be better
By YankeeJeffBXNYC (Pcmac user)
Nice looking app but not for the amateur astronomer at the scope because it doesn't take configurability seriously. I know some reviews laid the simplicity but at at this price it should be a Pro level app. When your at the telescope and observing, the last thing you want to do is fiddle thru menus or wish you can do certain things and thus have to open a separate app. It's about saving time to appreciate the views - so being able to configure this type of app to your liking is crucial. I support this work and appreciate it - and it has my business. But still not replacing my other iPhone app at the scope.

Much more than just a "reference"
By Your dad 123 (Pcmac user)
This is just crazy! The amount of hard work and detail that is put into this app is incredible! I am a space nerd myself, and when I read about mercury, I was simply blown away by the amount of information there was! I learned that on November 11th, (8 days from my birthday) that I might be able to see a transit, where mercury passes by the sun. I am very exited about this app and can't wait to learn (A LOT) more. I am going to end this with a quote:
"So much space, so little time..."
