  • Ok, but lags a lot

    Sometimes it’s decent. Not a fan how it prioritizes constellations over planets/the moon/stars, but I can get past that. The constant lagging though. Especially if you zoom in (to focus on a star/planet/the moon it simply freezes. I’m on an iPhone 15 pro, so hw bit the issue. Also the music is extremely obnoxious. Not sure I would recommend at present. Especially as a paid app (with in app MTX!)

    Please make a proper way to disable notifications. I have 60 notifications on this app I don’t care about. Besides that, solid app worth buying.

    Note: if your like me and use the widgets and notice they’ve stopped working, delete and reinstall the app (this resolves it) This dev is quick to fix bugs and keep this app going strong. Had a problem with widgets for a long time but reinstalling the app fixed it

  • It would be nice to see just satellites

    I’ll pull this out when I see what looks like a satellite overhead but unless it is the ISS I have no luck finding what I am looking at. It would be nice to have a filter for just satellites or planets too.
