Star Walk:Find Stars & Planets for Negative User Reviews

GlitchyI used to love this app so much, but recently I've been having issues with the gps on the app where it thinks that I'm facing a different direction than I am. For example, I'll clearly see the moon in front of me and it will show it as being behind me or off to the left. Just now I was trying to use it and it seems to think that I'm facing south even though I'm facing north east. I'm sure that there's a way to trouble shoot, but I wish the app was easier to use for me to be able to do this without having to search without success..Version: 7.2.3

HeadacheThis is the third device I have automatically gotten that has put things upside down, and in some cases backwards. In my area Cassiopeia usually starts in the north Western sky and finishes in the eastern. On this app that is reversed. If you find the North Star and turn right until you find Orion you should be looking east or south east. This app says you are now facing west and the constellation is at or below the horizon not below as the app states. If you don’t mind the app being upside down and backwards it’s great..Version: 7.2.3

SearchIf I search a star then tell me where I can find it..Version: 7.3.5

CometsReceived comet notification but no info re where and when to look . Brightest on Sunday , but even when I went on star walk and selected comets with the date - no info ..Version: 7.3.0

Four adverts in the first 60 secondsBefore I’d even learnt how to use the app, I was hit by adverts each time I touched the screen. I couldn’t judge whether it was worth purchasing the plus version. The white-background ads definitely destroy your night vision. In the short time before I got too frustrated and gave up, I could not get it to align the compass properly, so it kept showing south as west. The glimpses of AR looked good but I’m afraid you’ve driven a potential purchaser away. App deleted!.Version: 7.3.7

Dissappointed as well...Contacted vendor on Twitter to ask why i have to pay and there aren't any grandfathered purchases. I have the iPad app version and it never asked me for any payment. It's with THIS update. Until a new version with a fix is out, i will give this 5-star app a 2 star rating..Version: 7.3.0

Forced monthly fees for same product I bought years ago.Yeah, to view the same thing I previously viewed for years (back when I loved the app), I now have to pay a subscription. All because my phone auto updated the app. Now everything besides stars are considered far earth and behind a pay wall. Same for some features I had access to. I just want my original product back. I never got a response from customer support. Edit: I did contact support. I will try again and update my review..Version: 7.3.0

StickyI like this app. The visuals are great and the music is meditative. Recently, there have been so many adds that the app is slow, and sometimes freezes. I have to close it and reopen, and then another add pops up. This app is too big to be messing around; my non-upgradable storage in my iPhone can only support ONE star map guide app. Thanks for understanding. I’ll let you ruin my experience only one more time, then I’ll delete. Thanks. Oh, the worst part is I can not close the darn adds, I have to close the whole app! Unacceptable..Version: 7.3.5

New versions don’t allow for real time movementDisappointing to have app changed to where it doesn’t work as well as it did previously. Must be a real “woke” programmer on the ball here... This is my second poor review of your non-working app after the “woke” developers fraudulent response. Lie... lie... lie.... must be easy to do when you have SO MANY complaints about your backwards heading app! Your app’s newer version removes features that were already existing. Now you have re-engineered the app to NOT perform the same features easily without a lieing “woke” developers improbable changes to your specific phone. After all of that WHY SHOULD ANYONE BOTHER?!!!! DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT USERS WANT TO MESS AROUND TRYING TO FIX WHAT YOU SCREWED UP FROM PRIOR VERSIONS???? Is it true you are from BEIJING CCP DEVELOPERS SCHOOL??????.Version: 7.3.7

Better back thenBack then I could tap on any star I saw that I wanted. If I remembered correctly I think that back then there wasn’t even ads. But now that’s all gone it use to be decent app I just re-downloaded it remembering how good that app was but now it’s not that fun especially when I keep getting interrupted by trails so I am afraid I won’t continue using this app as well as many other people who use to have it and had an awesome experience back then so farewell star walker.Version: 7.3.5

Must be a bug surelySorry but a new Advertisement opens up about every 5 seconds rendering the free version useless. In response the the developer, I am aware of pop up adds but every five to ten seconds is EXCESSIVE, hence rendering the app useless..Version: 7.3.5

Keeps crashingCould be great - unfortunately even with the PAID version it keeps crashing and logging me out. Bummer..Version: 7.3.5

Too difficult to readMaybe it’s a bad setting or something but I find the data in the app very hard to read. When I first got the app several years ago it was fine but it keeps getting “prettier” and less useful. For one thing, object labels are missing if they are near the edge of the screen. As you get them closer to the center their labels show up as an unreadable gray. Finally, when they are almost in the center they are in a tiny but somewhat readable white font. Why aren’t they white all the time? If you’re using the app to try and find something you have to center the thing first. That’s hard to do if you don’t know where it is. Another hard thing to see is the horizon. It’s very subtly darker than the sky. Why not make it better defined? The planets are hard to find too. The pretty icons on the map can help but the red text is too dark against the black background. Things near the galactic equator are hard because the Milky Way image is much too bright. Finally, the new moon is shown as black. OK, it really is but if you’re trying to find it, good luck. If you center where this invisible object is, of course, then you may be able to spot the tiny white label. It would hurt the prettiness, I guess, but I’d love to see a white outline on it. Finally, this is the slowest app I have when I start it. It has pretty little animations of its name for a good 10 seconds. I didn’t get it for that. Basically it sacrifices utility for aesthetics..Version: 7.2.3

Disappointed they released a new app rather than updatingTo find a new app (star walk 2) rather than upgrading the existing app feels like a a snub to those who paid full price, and closer to money grabbing than rewarding early supporters..Version: 7.3.7

So many ads!! And inaccurate🤨😡I got this app and didn’t pay for the whole premium thing and I couldn’t look at the sky for even 5 seconds without seeing an ad! Total waste of time if you have to watch a 10 second ad for every 2-5 seconds you are actually looking at the sky. Do not buy unless you are willing to pay for the premium version. And even then, you might as well get a better rated constellation app if you are going to pay the money. Also little thing to add on, even when I would point it at the ground, it would still give me constellations and satellites, so I’m assuming that this app isn’t even accurate. How this app has 4.7 stars, I don’t know. I don’t recommend anyone to get this.Version: 7.3.6

Doesn’t work!Freezes as soon as you launch the app and doesn’t use your location. Useless!.Version: 7.3.7

Great but faultsReally great app. Missing stars cause the app has a few glitches. Notifications are sent but disappear upon opening, compass occasionally whacks out. Still my favourite app to date..Version: 7.2.5

Cool app but freezes constantlyI’ve had this app for a few years on iPhone 5, 6 and X and the app has always locked up soon as the screen is touched. Once I touch the screen it will no longer track the sky, just a stuck image that I can move with my finger which isn’t very helpful learning the sky. I like the app but very annoyed that I can’t use it to its potential. Am I the only user who has had this issue? 3 phones, few years and updates and still same problem.Version: 7.3.0

Adverts ruined a great appI used this app for YEARS and friends always liked the info I could give them from it. It now has so many ads that it ruins the experience in the moment and the reason I used it. Typical process of a originally free app that either adapts to monetise its success or is sold and new owners look to monetise. Either way this app is no longer worth keeping when other apps do the same without the ads and intrusion to request you ‘upgrade’ to ‘paid’ versions to get the info that used to be free in the original app when 1st used. Sorry starwalk but your app is no longer the great app it once was due to capitalism. Time to delete..Version: 7.3.6

Minimal InfoInfo on Star Link passes or C/2020 F8 comet position info and updates and similar? No.! Very annoying. I paid for this app and this info is not added or updated. Of course you can buy Star Walk ‘2’ now at £6 with that info! Another app that starts well but falls apart soon after. I won’t by making another purchase with these folks.Version: 7.3.6

Don't BotherThe amount of ads made me delete this within 5 minutes. Literally an ad every 30s which I had to wait to time out, don't bother..Version: 7.3.7

Was good but…I’ve paid for this app for 2 different apple ID’s and am sure I never used to get ads. Would of given 5 stars but ads popping up constantly have pretty much ruined it for me, shame….Version: 7.3.7

Family SharingSays it support family sharing but doesnt really as its an in-app purchase which Apple dont allow. Also has an annoying bug on ipads (landscape) which doesnt format the pop-up ad size properly..Version: 7.3.6

Spam appDoesn’t show anything useful, but tries to get you to purchase full version. Can’t find out how to cancel auto subscription on free trial. Avoid - there are better apps out there that are honest..Version: 7.3.0

ReviewFind difficult to navigate as I’m not good with technology.Version: 7.3.5

Tilt function not working!.Version: 7.2.5

Does it position correctlyShows north as being south sometimes. Utterly useless. Other apps get the direction right, this one is useless. Also when I reinstalled it I was recharged and now have two useless copies. Developers are not up to the job. Used to be good. Now I want a refund..Version: 7.3.5

Please STOP spamming popup adsThis used to be my favorite app for years but now it seems like every time I open it there’s a shady looking popup on the screen. This latest one was titled “Back2School Promo” with some vague description and unintuitive button choices. This seriously looks like malware or a phishing scam. Please 1) confirm this app has not been compromised and 2) stop this ridiculous advertising. Update: I’m sorry but your canned reply did not address these concerns at all. Uninstalling and no longer recommending this app to anyone..Version: 7.3.0

Once open can’t closeGives alert once open unable to close on xphone used to be fine . Now I darent open as have to switch phone off to get it to go away.Version: 7.3.3

PaymentAfter downloading Free app it gave option for 3 payments -decided I didn't want app as cannot afford to pay this and I tried to get rid of app -it now seems to be on here and I don't know if it's going to take money😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡.Version: 7.3.6

Let’s take away features and demand moneyStar walk has been my favorite app for years, and has an amazing database of celestial objects. I was very dismayed and disappointed to learn that one of the recent updates removed most of these items, and simply labels them deep space object instead directing you to subscribe on a monthly basis and pay for what was previously free. This is an unfortunate trend with apps to go to a subscription model. Although I commend the app developers for a reasonably priced subscription, a one time fee would be quite preferable. In addition, I learned that I had to subscribe to view most of these objects when out of range of a cellular signal while camping, so it’s not like I could subscribe at that time..Version: 7.3.0

Have to recalibrate every time you want to use appLooks good had no problems in the past, but now find every time I want to use it I have to recalibrate it to lineup all the stars and the planets , if the Sun or the moon isn’t visible as a way point hard to use,.Version: 7.3.6

BenwFantastic app in every way. EXCEPT still sends pics and a notification which have to be cleared. 1 star rating until you guys stop sending pics at us. We will look if we're interested, trust me..Version: 7.0.3

To many ads90% ads 10% finding.Version: 7.3.7

So disappointed.I have owned this app for years. Paid the full price for it, 9.99 (at the time really expensive... pretty pricy even now!) I used it seriously three or four times a year for the last 5 years planning camping trips to coincide with cool astronomy events like the total solar eclipse and all sorts of meteor showers. I loved it. Raved about it to my friends. Even showed it off to my dad. It is a part of my start screen and I pulled it out every camping trip. Imagine my disappointment, upon opening it so it can enhance my viewing of the perseid meteor shower, which I am camping for, right now, this very evening and none of the previously available features are available to me unless I pony up MORE money for a subscription service. I am really upset. Farewell, Star Walk. You were a beautifully designed and useful app once. I’m sure you still are beautiful...You enhanced my love for the stars. I guess my wallet is just not large enough to follow you down that subscription rabbit hole. I am so sad..Version: 7.3.0

是吗哈哈是不过这不是一个月不知道什么时候才能实现就这么难吧……在于他用什么方法来表达我们都喜欢他这个节目很有意思呀!在线播放时间长到现在才看到电话给他们打电话了。.Version: 7.3.7

Terrible AppHard to navigate. Impossible to operate. Possibly the worst app on the Apple eco system..Version: 7.3.7

Hard to useI seem to be the only one but I find this app hard to use. The real reason someone gets an app like this is to point it to the sky and it will tell you what you're looking at. But this feature is hard to find. It should be the default setting on opening. If I've somehow changed it on mine I can't see how to easily change it back. I have to search for the moon to get a screen where I can manually position the horizon to what I'm looking at. Even then the whole sky wants to flip upside down if i move it anywhere near the middle to the screen. Not that great for a paid app. Lots of bells and whistles but the basics need to be better sorry to say..Version: 7.0.3

Too Many UpdatesNice app but the developers keep throwing updates at users every few days and each requires a completely new download of the full and fairly large app, often for minor revisions. Please save the updates for when there are real and noticeable improvements that customers will actually see. For all the updates there's still no moonrise/set times, no Jupiter moon positions, and no labels on stars until you tap on one. Plus the compass is overly sensitive - aim it up past 45 degree altitude and it will rotate wildly in azimuth 180 deg. This makes the program hard to use when aiming up high to identify targets near the zenith. As such, the compass feature is far less useful than it could be and more of a gimmick to impress friends. But actually try to use it and you'll find yourself looking in the wrong direction. SkyVoyager and StarMap Pro do not do this. Developers should spend less time posting frivolous entries at their Facebook site and more time really improving and fixing their app..Version: 0

Ok on iPhone and iPad, crashes on Apple WatchI’ve used this app for several years, it works well on iPhone and iPad but unfortunately it crashes on Apple Watch. Keeping that in mind, I still would recommend this if asked..Version: 7.2.4

CompassIt doesn’t figure out the direction the device is aimed at anymore. Otherwise very educational app..Version: 7.2.5

Beyond disappointed10 years ago I happily gave it 5 stars and Star Walk was my favorite app to use with my kids! I used to recommend it to everyone because it was a fun way to view, identify and learn about almost anything in the night sky! Now you have to watch a 5 sec ad EVERY time you click on anything in the sky!?! Every single time? It’s crazy. Ads on a free app are understandable and expected but this?? No. Deleted and Disappointed in Florida 😔.Version: 7.3.7

Isnt it now illegal to ask for review?Yes.Version: 7.3.3

Ok butThis app is very useful if you like space, however it has constant lags, ads and crashing and you have to pay to learn about astroids, and I’m only 9 years old and I obviously don’t have a job!.Version: 7.3.7

Disappointed with the changes :/I had this app a while back and I absolutely loved it, it used to be completely free. Now you have to pay for the most prominent feature on the whole app, the live view. That was the whole point to the app in my opinion. It was really fun and I'm sad with the changes. If at least that specific feature became available for free, I would change my review instantly to 5 stars. Please give us the live feature back for free..Version: 7.3.6

Automatically billed meI downloaded this app ages ago and didn’t realize they have been automatically billing me for months. It is cheap but when I clicked to “manage my subscription” it took me to a broken link and then I ended up having to cancel it through my iPhone subscriptions. I don’t appreciate the sneakiness in which they billed me and how difficult they made it to cancel. I will ensure to advise everyone I know to not get this app. In addition, there are dozens of better FREE apps out there.Version: 7.3.7

Disappointed it’s the updateUsed to love this app. Now they want you to pay a monthly fee on top of hat I had paid for the app to get the features in the app. Not a good move..Version: 7.3.0

Great app but stick to the astronomy...As an astronomical tool the app works well but I’ve had a few astrological tips surface through my notifications re: Mercury retrograde. They clearly have not spent more than 30 seconds studying astrology yet feel adequately equipped to give their opinion in this area. They should really learn more astrology rather than simply repeating what others might say. Stick to what you know!.Version: 7.3.7

Merger workOffffff.Version: 7.3.0

Display of night skyNames of stars and other objects too small, faint and insignificant . VERY DISAPPOINTED with present version compared with past one(s) which I would have rated 5 stars..Version: 7.3.1

Don’t updateMy son downloaded this version on his iPod and it doesn’t scan the sky as the move the phone around , you have to drag with your finger. I read about others experiencing the same when they updated the app..Version: 7.3.5

Too many notificationsThe app just overwhelms your with all kinds of notifications ninety percent of which would be relevant to you. I stopped using it for this reason..Version: 7.3.7

Too many adsGreat app but a frustrating amount of ads. Couldn’t use it for more than 10 seconds without being served..Version: 7.3.5

Star WalkI can’t find the 13.99 price in the app only weekly and monthly and yearly subscription and no unlimited use plan can someone from the Dev team message me plez.Version: 7.3.5

Good looking but disappointingI use a couple of astronomy apps because none seems to have the "perfect" combination of functions. Star Walk is the better-looking of them, but it lacks a few essentials that I'll list below. Star Walk pros: Stunning visual display. Extensive information on a very large amount of stars/objects. Use current time, manually set time and fast-forward through time at different speeds with a flick of the finger. Love the ability to select an object and have it remain centered through time while it moves agains the background; that's probably Star Walk's biggest plus. Night mode. Star Walk cons: Settings are limited to night mode on/off, constellations on/off, sounds and music on/off, and brightness. Can't turn off ecliptic. Can't display alt/az and ra/dec guides. Constellation lines only appear when constellation is centered in screen; would like to have the option of always having them displayed. Needs a status line indicating currently observed alt/az. Unability to select limiting magnitude can make for a cluttered display. No moon phase calendar. Unable to set viewing location manually using lat/long, only gps and pick from list. No Jupiter's moons calendar. SkyLive has no rise/set time for the Moon, really?!? Constellation lines disappear too early when zooming in. Need the ability to independently select on/off the display of constellation names, lines and figures. Need the ability to select on/off the display of DSOs. Other comments: Landscape mode only. Even with everything it's lacking, I still give it 3-1/2 stars for the fun factor and the eye candy. Unfortunately, it comes up short in too many aspects to deserve any more than that until more features and information are implemented. I use Star Walk to impress friends, I use Pocket Universe for educational/informative star-gazing. Note to developper by the way: noon is 12:00 PM, not 00:00 PM. Option to use 24-hour clock would be nice..Version: 0

App works somewhatLove it and it works but I don’t like that An ad pops up every time I click on star so it’s impossible to find star I wanted to look at.Version: 7.3.6

Shows objects in the wrong placeI was looking for the moon using star walk and found out it was showing the moon in the opposite direction it was actually in.Version: 7.3.6

Not happyI downloaded the app to try, could not access it without subscribing, and when I thought I was signing up for a free trial plus I month at 99p I have actually been subscribed for a year. Which I do not want..Version: 7.3.0

Great app with one BAD FEATUREWonderful, wonderful, wonderful app - until you try to exit the app (at least on an iPhone 13). When you want your phone back? Good luck. Exiting is not intuitive, and judging by Google results I'm most certainly not the only person who is frustrated by this. It is a superb, wonderful, interactive, amazing app - and all of that warm fuzziness goes away when you try and reclaim your device. To be fair, I have not had this issue until I went to an iPhone 13 - but it is driving me up a tree..Version: 7.3.7

Insanely aggressive ad frequencyDownloaded the app to watch the eclipse tonight. Cannot zoom in at all without getting an ad. Just got 4 ads in a row (literally within 2 minutes) so here I am writing an angry review. Shame you’d work so hard on an app and gum up the user experience that much Edit: I’m more than content with having ads in the free experience, but it almost feels like the ad behaviour is a bug. They pop up every time I pinch to zoom in on the sky. Once the ad is finished, the scene goes into a ‘locked’ mode where the scene does not move according to the iPhone accelerometer. I then have to shake my phone to get back to the live view, and do not have my zoom. This feels like the advertisements are impeding the functionality. If zooming in on live preview is a paid function, that should be clearly stated..Version: 7.3.7

Sucks nowI had this app on my other device, access to everything, now I download on new device and they want a monthly sub to view specific things..garbage! Just more money hungry crap...delete!.Version: 7.3.0

DisappointedYou have removed the information about satellites and only offer it on paid subscription when it used to be included..Version: 7.3.0

The moon is out of positionI’m looking at the moon in the night sky to the East and this program has it 180 degrees below the horizon in the West. So what else is out of position? Also gives notifications to events in the sky but when you touch them to go to it, the app doesn’t take you to it. This APP used to be good but now its woefull..Version: 7.3.0

...Direction is not matching.Version: 7.3.1

A few objects were not in the right placeI have two other apps like this, SkyView and SkyGuide. There was a full moon last night and after opening SkyView and pointing my iPad directly at the moon the read the info, I did the same thing with Star Walk. After pointing my iPad at the moon and opening the app, the moon wasn’t there! So using the Search feature, I found the moon to be below the horizon and in its place was a star named Vega..Version: 7.3.5

Needs ImprovementI used to be really impressed with this App., but now tends to lock up. You get notifications of some celestial event and when you click on it you would think it would take you to the event, unfortunately not. I’m not sure if recent software updates, either the App or the OS, have made this formally amazing Program falter but hope the developers are able fix it. Still a fan, but have lost some of my enthusiasm..Version: 7.3.5
