Pros and cons of Star Tracker Lite-Live Sky Map app for iPhone and iPad

Star Tracker Lite-Live Sky Map app good for

There should be some documentation how to use it. But very fun to use.

I love how the user can track the stars depending on his or her location. It is user friendly and I love the background music. At night, I have fun moving my phone around to track the stars and constellations.

I love using this app along with my telescope to spot celestial objects.

today is closest to Mars and well its stupid I was looking to see the light of it was a star or Mars I get this app and what it does is takes me straight to space and the moon was to the right of me and it said the moon was to the north- west of me its stupid and this is coming from a child learn to make decent apps its stupid!!!

This is the 2nd app I downloaded to make sure I was looking at Mars tonight. Bree first one just basically showed me the planets and the zodiac constellations. I wanted more than that and found it with this app. Its definitely a keeper.

Absolutely stunning view of constellations position and planets. I first opened this app walking the dog late at night about a month ago and have been wowed every night. Now the night view makes sense

Some bad moments

disappointed as unable to download the full version, although it tells me each time my purchase was successful, tried this three times. Wont use this app with the ads they are to visual annoying when looking at the stars.

I bought the in-app purchase to remove adds but I still have ads. It functions nicely but I paid to remove ads and to still have them is terrible.

Neat little app. I had upgraded to get all the bells and whistles and to remove ads. It worked at first, but it seems that I have to take a survey or watch an ad to restore the purchase upon reopening. Also, the ads at the top were NOT removed even though the upgrade features said, "No ads!"

I just paid $2.99 for the full version of star tracker. The ads are still there. I cant see any of the options shown on the screen shots. I dont see any deep space objects, I cant search. Id like to get my money back. I only gave one star because it doesnt work like it should, but it has the potential to be very cool.

This would be a great App except for the religious images that it shows where the stars are. There should be an option to remove them so that we can see the stars as they are.

Was great. Now closes after 15 seconds. Can not use. No updates to correct it.
