This app is so confusing to use. Yes, I know there are helpful videos that the devs release regularly. But sometimes I'll forget how to do something even after I've watched a video. And having the users watch a video to be able to understand the app is a UX failure. This app is powerful and really awesome with what it can accomplish. I just really wish they made it easier to navigate and use. For example, when in the 'planner' area of the app, there are all these icons with the pin that I have no idea what they mean. I have to tap around and try to blindly figure out what each one does. Could a label be added underneath? I know the font would be small. Perhaps there's a better solution. But please make this app more usable for people that want to just pick it up and use it. Thanks.

This app provides an incredible amount of information about position is sun and moon at any time. It also shows direction of the Milky Way and meteor showers. Very useful for planning specific photographs. The user interface is befuddling. There’s no in-app help, and it’s not intuitive at all. I’ve watched the online videos and read the web pages. That can walk you through doing a specific thing, but good luck remembering the next time. It’s just too obtuse. Note that the app does not provide info on location of planets or stars.

For example, I have dropped the red pin but what if I don’t have a place to plant the black pin? Also, in Night AIR, the app had me looking in the wrong direction! If my friend didn’t have excellent vision, I never would have pointed my camera in the correct direction of the Milky Way. The app, even having watched all the videos on how to photograph the Milky Way, doesn’t help figure out the the exposure settings—unless I only want to photograph meteor showers or an eclipse. I am also uncomfortable with all the ‘experts’ being men; have not women also used your app?
