Redshift Sky Pro for Negative User Reviews

✓ A nice new versionThey’ve given the old app a very nice fresh and welcome lick of paint. What I really didn’t like about the last version was that after spending a lot of time customising it to my liking, it would sporadically return all the settings to default which put me off using the app completely in the end. I’m happy to see this issue doesn’t occur in this new version (so far). I like this version enough to consider upgrading to ultimate, but I would like more details about what i’m actually going to get for my money, the website seems to be a bit vague about this. I’m a casual astronomer, I don’t have a telescope which is software compatible and it appears that this is the main benefit of upgrading. Edit: Just seen that a free trial of Ultimate is now being offered, so this has answered my question. However, after accepting the offer i’ve opened the app and there are no noticeable additions, in fact I can’t see any at all ?! Edit: The free trial expired before the fix and I didn’t even get a chance to try the Ultimate version. Email was sent to the developer and I received no reply. I want to see what I’m getting before I upgrade but I cannot use the free trial again. Disappointed! Response to developer comment: I have sent an email stating just that, and I’ve sent a private message on the Facebook group and I haven’t had a reply to either..ChrisR36Version: 1.0.3

✓ No distancesYour new app doesn’t show distances to celestial objects like the old app or at least I can’t find them. Why not?.761Version: 1.0.3

✓ A True ContenderUpdate 01/11/2022: So after about a year of the subscription fee I'm disappointed to say there's been nothing added since my original review. It makes me wonder what exactly I'm paying for. It seems like they just want to resell me the app over and over again without giving me anything in return. I understand that apps require upkeep and without it they quickly become abandoned, which in turn means they inevitable quit working as they fall further and further behind. On the other hand I want more than just maintenance updates if I'm gonna be paying a hefty annual subscription fee. I guess time will tell but I doubt I'll be subscribed for much longer if no further content is ever offered. It's a shame too because I really want to support science apps but I also want to feel I'm getting my money's worth. This is a great app but there's always room to grow. Do the devs agree? When the devs first released this new version of their astronomy software, Redshift, I was excited. I've spent countless hours with their old version exploring and reading everything it had to offer. I quickly preordered the new version and waited for it to be released while wondering what new treasures were in store. Then after it was finally released came the disappointment. While the new Redshift looked more polished there seemed to be very little in terms of new content and what seemed even worse to me at the time was that now it came with a subscription fee. I was tempted to rush to the app store to write a scathing review but I decided to wait to see if anything new might still be coming. Ultimately, it was the right move. Adding the ability to explore different galaxies like you would for objects inside the Milky Way is a fantastic new addition that really expands the feeling of depth to this model universe. I do wish you had more range to view the universe on the grandest scale but you are only able to zoom out 100kpc away from any galaxy. I would like to be able to rotate the universe from a greater distance and then zoom down into a random galaxy. While I don't expect to be able to see objects in the far away galaxies it would be cool if eventually they added certain objects that we can observe in the nearby galaxies such as the LMC, SMC and Andromeda. Hopefully, that's why they have subscription fee now, to have ability to keep adding content. I can't wait to see what develops but for now it's a solid 4 stars with potential to be a perfect 5. Thanks to the devs on their awesome astronomy app!.NikyteenVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Very angry.There seems to be 2 versions of this app. I decided to go for the so called “free trial”. The free trial cost £8.99 and is taken out of your account straight away. It appears by going for the trial version you are diverted to actually buying the paid for one. Then you are informed in six days they will take a further £13.49 out of your account. I have managed to [hopefully] cancel the £13.49 subscription. Note to apple. Why is there no zero star as one star implies a minimum 20% rating for a product?.Chapter and verseVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Lost the most important elementVery very disappointed to discover that with the new version you can only go back to 1600 AD. This makes the tool totally useless for the work that I do. Total disappointment when I purchased this based on their advertisement that states "You can simulate the universe from 1000BC up to the year 2500 AD". If you plan to use the time option... Look elsewhere because this doesn't do as advertised..GACSavannahVersion: 1.2

✓ Move the rocket buttonIt is in the same space as apple's stupid three dots at the top center of the screen. apple will never move its three dots multiscreen buttons, so sky needs to move its button. the rocket mode can not be access now..Why, whyVersion: 1.4.1
