Sharks.I used this app for maybe 15 min. I went to cancel before the free 72 hour trial and they had already charged me 85 dollars I hope they refund my money because it had not been 72 hours since a agreed to the CB three day trial

Frustrating experienceI signed up for a free trial, but the end date wasn’t clear to me so I “bought” the paid app. I tried to request a refund through Apple but they said the purchase doesn’t meet the conditions for a refund. Thoroughly unimpressed, especially because I need that money for university.

Pretty dadgum goodAn absurd amount of information even on the free version. There is a push to get the upgraded version, but without it you can track the planets, learn where galaxies, nebula and Clusters are. Famous objects and stars have paragraphs on history to categorization to brightness. Incredible even if you…
