I Love it until it stopped working
Planit is the new go to app for planning your photography…No doubt. There is a subscription but it has been worth it, because I use it almost everyday. So, why the one star review? Because suddenly the app stopped working and a friend is having the same problem. Planit responded to my email with”It happens.” and turn your iphone to airplane mode then open the app then exit airplane mode. Perhaps someone at Planit will see this one star review and get going on a fix. Because having to go into airplane mode and blah blah blah when I’m trying to set up my shot isn’t going to work.

Paying and getting nothing
To pay for the app and still not get all of the features because that requires a monthly subscription is a scam. I want my money back.!
★★★★ Green_Flash 3/23/2023 v10.4.18
VR and location cost extra
Knew this app would have a slight learning curve but know of the reviews, tutorials or videos I watched before purchasing the application mentioned subscription model for VR or location browsing. Maybe it is buyer remorse but making me second guess not getting phot pills in place of this.
★★★★ CDB434 5/6/2022 v10.3.4
What a waste
100$ I said 100$ in the middle of global inflation these people have decided to charge 100 USD$ for an application function that MAY or May Not work. For a Function that even they themselves tell you, of course after you pay, this may or may not work. Welllllllll for me in the country I live In it doesn’t. They couldn’t even show the kuwait towers in their so called photographers ephemeral .

Really? You have to pay even more to use the full app?
The app has a lot of information available and seems to be a great tool for photographers. $10 for this seems steep, but the 3D function is so helpful to get the perfect shots! However, you cannot even use the 3D function unless you pay another $6 per year! Not even a one time thing! The 3D function should really be included when you first purchase the app; at least for a year. Honestly, just use Photo Pills instead.

Simple-NOT
If after an hour, you can't figure out how to take advantage of an app you just spent $ on, likely not worth it. A waste so far.
★★★★★ anon 73882 12/25/2023 v10.4.24
I can’t figure out this app
This is not an intuitive UI at all. Much of the basic operations seems to be behind hidden gestures or clicking on obscure places.
I want to photograph jupiter in a specific location. I’m told this app can help with that. Nowhere in any of the menus can I even find planet selection.
I have lines all over the place and don’t know what half of them mean or where I’m supposed to move pins around.
I also bought the pro version and it still wants me to make an account and pay for features outside of the app, so that’s an unwelcome surprise.
I’m not technologically challenged either, I’m a software developer for a living, so it shouldn’t be that hard to find jupiter.

Not user friendly
App is very complicated to use
★★★★★ Quentin Biles 6/17/2018 v3.2.1
Tides are way off.
Compared high and low tides to multiple databases, and they are off considerably. Makes me question the accuracy of other data. User interface is also extremely unintuitive.
★★★★★ djb112349 3/12/2018 v3.1.0
Waaaaay Too Complicated
This app offers great promise but needs to be greatly simplified for occasional use. Its design does not encourage comfortable retention by hobbyists and serious amateurs.
