Herunterladen Starmap2 für Pc

I was a App user for years and I upgraded to Starmap2 PRO early on. I never had an issue and I am an avid stargazer and amateur astronomer. Fast forward... after falling away from astronomy I came back recently to find that a Starmap2 update must have installed the free version. I deliberated for a day before deciding to upgrade to PRO (again) via the in-app offer. I pressed the update, I got the “are you sure $13.95” (or whatever it is), I pressed yes. THEN I got a message “you’ve already purchased this, shall I download it again for free?” Of course I said yes, it was painless. I did the same thing on 3 iPhones and an iPad. All restored to PRO free. Now I am trying to duplicate reported bugs and I am unable to. I’m just wondering if those that think you can’t restore the PRO version haven’t tried... afraid that it will charge them? And I have to admit, at first it is a little intimidating and then my wife said “hun, that’s 2 glasses of wine out at dinner”.

I paid for the Pro version and there is no way to restore my purchase!

Latest— April 29, 2018 CRASHES every time you change the color theme! Ridiculous! Still doesn’t permit user customization as the original App Pro did. Worse, when you change color theme, it resets all your choices and puts back in the Ecliptic, Names, Galaxy Clusters, Constellation Artwork, and even Magnetic North! Silly! Background Now and again, I try this app, hoping its developer has finally fixed its bugs and glitches -- and, of even greater importance, brought back key features of his previous app, App Pro, one of the best astronomy apps ever designed. Alas, each time, I try a app update, I end up being disappointed. The app still has several long-standing bugs and glaring design flaws! In his reply to my review last year, the developer even claimed that "many" of the problems I described were "not true" when, in fact, they have been reproduced on different devices and persisted over each revision. It's worth emphasizing that I do not describe problems in reviews without confirming their existence first. Here are the details. September 5, 2017 As previously noted, the latest version has stopped much of the crashing, although today, when downloading asteroid and satellite updates, it crashed. The app also has crashed on me as I was moving through the toolbars. So, crashing problems are still there! TRUE! The Deep Sky images download bug/glitch persists! Here's the problem. It keeps showing FREE, implying the images need downloading. Tap it and it momentarily changes to the circular 0% indicating it is downloading, but -- in the blink of an eye -- it returns to FREE! (It used to alternate with a 0% inside an arrow, but was the same problem.) The other downloads show a large checkmark when they are done. STILL TRUE! Newly discovered bug: The app blocks the device from going to sleep! I returned to our iPod Touch 6G and found it still on, showing the download page and draining the battery! Confirmed this when showing a sky view, too. The bug exists on our iPad Air 2, too ALL TRUE! Surprisingly, the DSO-naming BUGS and design flaws remain in April 2018, too! Turn Names OFF and many DSOs disappear! For example, with Names ON, M13, M92, M5, M10, M12, etc. all appear on the screen, yet, if I turn Names OFF, all of those DSOs disappear! (Globular clusters are on, so they should still show!) ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Plus, even when Names are ON, NONE of those DSO show their names! In fact, most DSOs do NOT show their names until one drills down to tiny fovs! That's a poor design and makes the Names feature of little use; it's essentially useless for identifying DSOs in constellation or horizon views. (Confirmed on both the iPouch Touch 6G and the iPad Air 2, running the latest iOS -- 10.3.3!) DEFINITELY ALL STILL TRUE! There's still no way of hiding the distracting compass indicator in the upper-right corner! It ruins the aesthetics of a sky charting app! Pretty sure that when most observers look up at the night sky where they live, there is NO compass floating up there! 😎 :-) TRUE! (Unless the developer can point to an option we've overlooked to hide the indicator! Searched and could not find one!) DESIGN ISSUES REMAIN The overall design, alas, remains poor: limited customization, multiple toolbars with only a couple of controls each (one has to keep sliding and sliding to get to the controls one wants), few DSOs are visible in the sky until one drills way down to small fovs (but as observers we like to know where DSOs are!), etc. ALL TRUE! The developer could easily fit ALL the toolbar options on ONE permanent toolbar! (Especially on the iPad!) TRUE! Amazingly, the app still fails to show most DSOs, especially in wider field views! The Virgo cluster is barren -- as are many other areas of the sky that have many wonderful DSOs! ABSOLUTELY TRUE AND ONE OF THE APP'S BIGGEST DEFECTS! Sadly, app remains cartoonish in appearance and lacks the polish and usability of its earlier incarnation as App Pro! Planetary labels are inside childish blocks; plus, Venus and its cartoon label are colored *orange-red* just like Mars, which is astronomically incorrect! ALL TRUE AND ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT THE APP WILL SEE THAT! On the iPad Air 2, the toolbar sits above the horizon, blocking stars and looking silly! It does the same on the IPT, but at least on it, one can reposition the sky display above the toolbar. JUST CONFIRMED AS TRUE! One of its biggest failings remains its lack of customization. One CANNOT customize or color individual elements as one could in App Pro. One is forced to pick predetermined color themes, each of which has serious usability problems and each of which DELETES any other settings you have chosen! ALAS, THIS IS STILL TRUE! Note to developer: Give us back customization of individual elements! Most of us want a combination of elements NOT THE ONES YOU PICKED! Most of us do not want Magnetic North, the Ecliptic, and Constellation Artwork showing by default! Sadly, after several years, version 2 of the original App Pro app is STILL not ready for prime time. It is the worst regression of any app I own. Adding insult to injury, the developer is now charging an additional $9 for an in-app upgrade, on top of the $15 we already paid! Many of the new features should already be included with our paid apps. I cannot recommend buying it. I switched to Sky Safari Plus several years ago, and highly recommend it. It is not only easier to use, but has more features, is better designed, has no glaring bugs, has a more responsive development team (regular updates that address feedback promptly and provide more powerful observing tools), and is better suited to most stargazers and amateur astronomers. Note: I also still use the *original* App Pro app from time to time -- it is simply that good and still has features no other astronomy app has, including app!

Used to be great... Now it seems the competition provides better for less $. It’s time to delete

Had App Pro for some time & then portions of it were disabled in an apparent push to get ‘squared.’ (Asteroid updates/searches crash the app & can no longer tap on objects for info.) Sure...there were sporadic ‘flash sales’ for some time to appease those who had App Pro, but those days too came to pass. The free version here appears so limited compared to App Pro that I can’t bring myself to upgrade without seeing that it could indeed be comparable. (Not interested in ‘stories’...want professional data/information.) Business practices like these may cause you to embrace your trusty paper bound Uranometria star atlases too. How much longer until you’re encouraged to get ‘cubed’?
