Very intrusive App
Omg not being able to navigate away from a screen even not being able to shut down your phone to avoid a request for access is appalling. I uninstalled your very intrusive app.
you can’t even Purchase the Plus in or out of store
What I don’t understand is android and iOS you can’t even Purchase the Plus in or out of store, this is is across the board two iPhones a tablet and an android phone you simply can’t even purchase Plus there’s no integration of payment system “store not available” you “(keep pushing updates)” but haven’t fixed the problem for years.
I feel Scammed
I bought two times the pro version of Stellarium and on the app still show the free version, I can’t access to pro features. I already tried to restore on the buy page and reboot the phone but nothing works, I write to support team and they don’t answer, I feel so Scammed
Waste of $$
Waste of money .... paid for it and can't use it! It shouldn't be so difficult.
Location
It’s not accurate
Fake
Fake fake fake
Law of diminishing returns
I’ve loved this app over the years, but, they are slowly making it barely useful by locking more and more standard features behind a paywall.
I can’t even filter objects that are only currently visible. Time to uninstall and chuck this app in the rear view.
I’ll most likely be moving to another app that I wouldn’t mind paying for. I won’t pay for basic functionality like Stellarium is devolving into.

Broken or unintuitive.
It can’t track where you’re pointing on the sky. It has a compass that just says “point your device up” and nothing happens.

че за фигня
decent graphics but basic astronomy features are locked behind a subscription
the visuals are good and all but simply moving time forwards is a paid feature?? literally the most basic thing for astronomy??
App constantly freezing up
Many, many times have I been outside at night trying to show someone the constellations or just use the app and it stayed frozen. After giving the app more than enough try’s I finally deleted it. Great concept, poor performance.
Purchase
Sounds like they’re too greedy. You don’t get the best view. You would have to buy it. It’d be nice if they just sold more stars, but it’s not really nice that everything slightly blurry.
Location
I downloaded this app after I’ve gotten a telescope I was fascinated with space and very excited to try this but when I turned it down daytime this was not my location it was a random hut in an empty road and when I typed in my location it said the moon was below me when it was right above me
Please fix
I was enjoying this app but when I tried buying it, it put me in a loading screen for a super long time over and over again. Why is this
No Support
Purchased the Pjus version several year ago. At the time due to health difficulties was unable to attend Star Parties. Last night used it at a Club Star party and was not impressed. Could clearly see the Jovian moons in my Telescope and Binoculars. Zoomed in to show the names but the app didn't show them. Another club member had an app that showed the moons. Restarted the app and tried again still did not show the moons. Contacted customer support and the respondent said to zoom in. That was the first thing I did. What a waste of money $18.99 doesn't even work properly. Eventually fixed the problem by downloading Sky Safari and uninstalled Stellarium.
Star App
I think that it would be better with more stuff
