Pros and cons of StarTracker - Mobile SkyMap app for iPhone and iPad

StarTracker - Mobile SkyMap app good for

Only been using for a few minutes and am very impressed! Worth the $2.99!

Accurate. Easy to use. Incredibly fast at following your motions.

Incredibly accurate GPS and compass. The pictures of the constellations are great. I always had trouble picturing them when searching, but no more. Love it!

Other apps, that I used, had trouble with compass directions. This apps, has me very interested in star locations. It does have a small learning curve, but after that, I use it almost every night. Thank you for a Great APP. Bob

When I first started using Startracker, I couldnt put it down. A few nights ago, we actually got to see Mars!

Some bad moments

AR mode doesnt work on iPhone 5 with iOS 8.3. Access to location services is given. Other apps like Sky Guide or SkyView work without any problems. The Support is not reachable. Nice unconventional menu concept though. Sorry!

Purchase app awhile back and was very functional. Now it doesnt calibrate or work. Very disappointed!

I cant get the app to work on my iPhone 6s and cant find any support or troubleshooting options.

Like it a lot wished it labeled the international space station though and similar things.

This is a wonderful App!! I love to impress my friends with it. Great work!!

This app is really nicely done! Its very pretty, which I am glad for because I cant see many stars where I live. (As you move around through the star map, the stars twinkle & shine!) It moves very well & I like that you can turn certain features on & off. (such as constellation drawings, grids, & others) Id recommend you try this one out! Im loving it so far.
