8 of 25It's a nice app to keep abreast of what's going on in our solar system. Unfortunately the Push Notifications are a day late to let you know about celestial events !
Ads come back every time I open the app, even though I paid to remove them. This is crap. Uninstalled in spite of having my purchase price stolen.
When I take my daughter and son outdoors at night, it's a real pleasure to point out the constellations and planets. SkyOrb makes stargazing easy! That was the iOS 6 version. But now the latest updates of SkyORB are difficult to use.Tough to spin the star map, so I'm going to take it off my phone.
Slow
My life is so fast paced. I forget I used to spend hours glued to my Meade With Sky ORB I look up again! Wish there was an app that takes care of everything I have to do after work and maybe even fixes up old scopes that have sat in the basement since grad school. Ha!
It's 7:40pm, CST, Tuesday, August 22, 2017. I JUST received a notification that the ECLIPSE was occurring NOW. The clock on the app is telling me that it's Wednesday, August 23. If your app is THIS MIXED UP how can I be sure that ANY of the information is correct? Any help fixing my clock or your app would be appreciated. This certainly makes me never want to spend money on your premium app.
Fun to use great at night
I appreciate the update...all the mechanics are working more smoothly.
