★★★★★

Outstanding Astronomical Tool

I have been in astronomy for over 20 years. This application is phenomenal. Intuitive, flexible, and invaluable for observing.

Minnesota Nice! · v6.8.2 · 28 Mar 2026

★☆☆☆☆

Not native.

This app does not run native on Apple Silicon. I contacted support, they have no plan on updating it. While it runs fine in emulation, this shows a lack of the promised “Complete macOS Support and regular updates.”

Questions this record can answer

How was every figure on this page produced?

Each figure is read from public App Store metadata or computed from it, dated to when we read it, and traceable to a stored row. Percentiles, cadence, longevity and sentiment are derived by us; ratings, prices, sizes and dates are taken as the store reports them.

Why can the star average and recent opinion disagree?

The star average is cumulative over the app’s whole life, so recent opinion barely moves it. Any sentiment figure we compute reads only recent review text, which is why it turns first. Treat a divergence as an early indicator, not a verdict.

What can this page not tell you?

Downloads, revenue, active users, subscription pricing inside the app, and anything about security or data handling. None of those are visible in public store metadata, so we do not estimate them.
