The Free App worked fine, but the paid version is all pushed together on the left side of laptop screen and I can't see it or use it. It sort of works on my PC, but it doesn't work as smoothly as the Free Version and I can't identify the star by clicking on the like with the Free App.Absolutely worthless.. Save your Money!!!

I hardly ever buy apps like this and I probably have written 5-6 product reviews in my whole life. I thought buying the full version might unlock a more elegant interface. The free version really doesn't offer much and the full version did make it easier to visualize throwing a dollar and change into a black hole.

Having a free version should entice you to buy the full version, unfortunately this is not the case. Views are distorted.

Everything is 90 degrees off, e.g., when facing east it shows the southern sky. The whole point is to be able to hold up the tablet and see the sky as it appear overhead--kind of makes the whole thing useless. I'm off to try another app.

Not for a beginner. Could use a help/tutorial on how to use it. No planet search. It is interesting that when activated that it shows the Southern Hemisphere while I am in the North and doesn't want to corporate when working in the North
