StarMap 3D for Negative User Reviews

✓ Fantastic!Lotsa fun..TigerliliumVersion: 0

✓ IncorrectThought this app was great until I pointed it towards the moon and it told me the moon is on the other side of the world. Then it told me the sun was in the middle of the sky during night time. It was correctly set for Perth, Australia so that wasn't the problem..AshAshShVersion: 3.1.5

✓ Direction is off 180 degreesI like this app but just recently it has N/E/S/W direction is off by 180 degrees! The app is almost worthless with this bug..JimLussVersion: 3.9.4

✓ DisappointingBought for 3d model. Held promise, but zoom is poor and jumps suddenly to galactic scale..TelecomGuruVersion: 2.90

✓ Still in BetaThis app is useful exclusively to experienced astronomers who understand the Right Ascencion / Declanation system of finding stars. Lacking either compass bearings or coordinates based upon one's current location, it will be useless to most users. One must be familiar with the sky even to determine which way is up! Anyone who could understand this app would be better served by any of the far superior apps available. This app blinds the user's night vision, because it does not hide the OS's status bar at the top of the screen (showing time and battery level), its controls are glaring white fields and buttons, and there is no night vision mode. An astronomy app must be usable in the dark! The 3D feature substitutes the iPhone's pinch gesture for automated zooming at every touch of the screen, rendering control of panning unavailable until 3D is switched off. Data about stars can not be read while names and constellation lines are visible. Constellation lines are questionably drawn. Camelopardalis is shown as a short, straight line, not stars shaped like a ghiraffe! Excellent control for limiting the magnitude of stars shown. Some potential with serious upgrades, but puzzling to see the enthusiasm in other reviews. Many thanks, though, to the programmer for adding to our collection of astronomy apps. Keep at it, and you may yet have a winner..BozocityVersion: 0

✓ Ok app, but completely ruined my calendarThe app itself works pretty good. tracking is decent, plenty of data. i wish the time slider was a little more intuitive. there isnt much support for comets or asteroids but thats ok. the bad thing that happened, is that the app has accessed my calendar and jam packed it with every single upcoming moon phase and astronomical event for the next 1000 years. this wouldn’t be so bad- in fact, it would be pretty neat- if it weren't for the fact that every event was added precisely FOURTEEN TIMES. my calendar is utterly filled with endless identical entries, thereby making it difficult to find other calendar events of mine. furthermore, even after revoking the apps access to the calendar and even deleting the app altogether, the redundant entries are still there. i would have to go along and delete them manually, one at a time- which would likely take several lifetimes. so, i will have to live with this and be content to be emphatically over informed about every single upcoming and passed astronomical event, for the rest of my natural lifespan.LiebencrantzVersion: 3.7.14

✓ Mostly uselessAny APP that requires some intrinsic knowledge to use is a fail. Good luck. Using this to resolve what you’re looking at in the night sky is futile. Once I got planets to display and they remained on 3D no mattter the direction you look. Shiite.Wit ManVersion: 3.11.0

✓ StarMap 3D: near, but no.This app shows promise, but as it stands is of little use. It's almost impossible to tell where in the sky it's pointing. There are no Alt/Az or RA/Dec gridlines, and it has a "hair trigger" if the screen is touched. I tried to use it to tell where my telescope is aiming, but did not succeed. It needs to be more structured - like the vintage "Skymap Pro" package, for example. It will not find planets - that would not have been a major effort to include. A pity..KeithJ-UKVersion: 0

✓ Sky's come alive at last!I found this app after Sky Map totally failed to boot and was immediately impressed by how well it worked, how good it looked & how useful its features were! I've taught hi-school astronomy for years & this is the perfect telescope companion. Top stuff!.JK60yroldkidVersion: 3.1.5

✓ Very DisappointedThis app is not what I was looking for in a basic night sky guide. It does a good job of showing a view of constellations from your position, but that's about it. No planets or moon position. No option to view star names on the map - you have to touch a star to see it's name and info. No constellations in the search database. The 3D view is mostly a gimmick..DRHawaiiVersion: 0

✓ Limited UtilityLooked at first like a nice simple app for getting quick star map. Problem is you can't just bring up any arbitrary star or constellation. If what you want to happens to be below the horizon of your location it just displays a popup dialog that says "Too Bad!". Seriously. Your only option is to change your location by hand, then search, or, you can go to the whole star map, but then you have to find it yourself and you don't get a horizon. I'm a programmer and can't really comprehend why the app can't just pick a location that gives a suitable view of the thing you want to see (instead of just saying "Too Bad!"). The app just seems rather limited for no good reason..MdoceanVersion: 0
