Star Tracker Lite-Live Sky Map Reviews

by Zia Gaming

So, I love what StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap does. The issue I have is that when I bought my new iPhone, it wants me to pay for the full version again. The window pops up to restore it, but when you click the restore button, the window just vanishes and nothing happens. But ok that same window, if you click the purchase button, boy does that one work. Emailing “support” does nothing. Zero response after several attempts. It’s not that I’m a cheap person, and it’s not an outrageous price, but it’s just the fact that the option that is made to look like you can restore your purchase is basically a hoax. So, if you don’t mind paying for the full version every time you get a new device or you don’t plan on getting a new device, then StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap is for you. But if you don’t like having to pay for it over and over every time you get a new phone or tablet, then it’s a better choice to look for a different app. There’s plenty of others that do restore your purchase when you switch devices that are on par with StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap. If in the unlikely case my purchase is restored and I can use the full version on my new phone, I will give the five stars back that I gave when I installed it on my first device that I had the full version after paying the small fee. But I will not be forced to purchase the full version over and over, and I will not be paying for it again. If you would like your five stars back, restore my purchase and I will gladly give you back your five star rating.

Terrible app if using the free version. Location will not set even when doing so manually. Their survey doesn’t work you can’t get past the language question and then it timed out and NO RESTORE working at all. Not sure how this would be getting good reviews at all. It’s completely unusable and there are far better apps out there that don’t want to jack you for money to be usable. Steer clear of this one it’s hit the delete pile for us

I have reported this here before, as a 1 star review because there is no support contact provided (the provided web site just promotes their software with no way to report problems).

It did work fine when I first installed it, but one day abruptly became complete junk.

I hoped the new version, just released a few days ago might fix it, but the same as always:

It opens, shows a logo screen for an instant, then exits without a trace.

It does this on both my phones (XS & 5S), as well as a friend’s phone.

I have tried deleting StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap and all its data, and reinstalling. Complete failure every time.

Why is this useless crap taking up space on StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap Store?

Had this on my phone for several years and it worked pretty well. Then they focused on advertising on the Lite version. Nothing worked. You could point anywhere in the sky and it never oriented correctly. Deleted it a year or so ago. Hoped for the best and downloaded it again. Works even less now. Before it at least tried to orient but was never right. Now the view doesn’t move unless you move it manually. Too bad. They took a good app and broke it. Will delete again and never try it again.

Just realized my star tracker app doesn’t run anymore so I checked App Store and found this “lite” version. It’s roughly the same but does not allow for filters/ customization of what appears. This was a really nice feature to remove clutter and look for specific things. Doesn’t seem like a full version exists anymore/ is supported which is disappointing. While old app was superior and still free, this one is still a decent one to have for casual star gazers.

Needs to be updated for magnetic north and true north. Magnetic north has shifted. The apps compass has compensated for this, but in relation to true north it makes StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap inaccurate. I love StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap otherwise. But it is VERY frustrating right now when I cannot point at the object I’m looking to identify and actually identify it because StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap is telling me I’m looking West, when in all reality I’m looking North. If you know what I mean??

I have thoroughly enjoyed StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap. Unfortunately it no longer works with my older iPad. It does work with my newer iPhone, however, the screen size of my iPad is much more useful. This new version tries to open then disappears. Double clicking on my home button shows it in the background offering me the option to upgrade to add free. When I tap on the screen it closes.

I love StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap . It fills me with wonder for our Creator.
The only negative thing is that it has almost too much information which can make things confusing when you look up and try to put it all together.
However if nothing ever changes about StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap , I am very grateful for it. Thank you.

You clearly don’t want to hear any reviews

I got an alert for an event in the future. I am going to plan a romantic dinner with my wife! She deserves it and the Strawberry moon will be a lovely treat. Thank you for sending the what’s new alert before it happened!!! 🍓

When our young one saw it on, we were headed home. She asked what is that, we told her . This is star tracker, can I look at it. The rest of the ride home was question of what’s this, and what can I find for you. I tried to explain the stars in Orion’s Belt, that they were twenty times the size of our sun. She needed time to think of about that, needless to say she loved it. Thank you for the help, I hope our little one stick with it!. Thanks again!, J T .

This is a great app and I tell everyone about it. It’s a great way to spend time with the family and a great learning experience for the kiddos! I never have any issues opening StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap and the background music is peaceful and calming. We live it!!

I have really enjoyed the Star Track app, especially in this trying time our country is going through with the virus. Although, together we will get through it.

by DeUrfe

Loved the sky for decades including three years using them for navigation. This brings back great memories by making it easy to find objects I am looking for quickly. Also helps find things to look at in a telescope.

by Dezicorn

I got StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap via a friends recommendation and absolutely love it! It is almost 100% accurate. It’s free which I love and when trying to find out when when I can see the blue moon! I 100% recommended.

Been using StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap for years and thought I’d finally give it a rating and small review. I only have this to say that this is perfect for stargazing. Never had any problems with StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap . Highly recommend.

Took an Astronomy class and was told to go outside to see different constellations, positions of Mars, etc StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap made it easy as pie for me to know I was actually looking at the right thing though and to be able to more clearly see some other constellations I'd probably have not noticed otherwise. Worth it!

by Chaz6string

Great app for just checking in while checking out what's happening up there in the night sky. Great for a quick reference to get your bearings while traveling & being under a "new" sky or for taking a deeper look into what's shining above your own backyard.
The night sky is the greatest show on earth & StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap lists the cast.

by The Zango Kid

What a fun app! You can even point down and see what’s on the other side of the globe. I love the colors. I even look at it during the daytime. And I never knew the names of some of the smaller constellations at all. I just moved to Central Oregon and you can see the stars every single night so it’s particularly fun for me out here.

I had a prior night sky app. But it required WiFi and was a pain to use. Calibration was “iffy” and identifications were guesstimates. StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap is fast and easy to calibrate, does not depend on WiFi, and show the sky with good accuracy. The planets are displayed far oversized, and shows the planet as observed in a telescope. But this helps you distinguish them from the stars, and they are shown in proper position in the night sky. I’m very happy with StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap.

Became an new astronomer about a year ago and knew I needed an app to help me find what’s what. StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap is great for that and I truly use it every night. Wether you’re curious as to what star that is in the sky or where a planet is located at any given moment, this is StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap for you!

StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap is so cool I love it. My teacher was the person who got introduced me to this and it is so awesome it shows you whatever you are looking at in space I love it and highly recommend it to kids teens and adults.

by 4buyjeep

Love the stars and everything in between. Way easier than carrying a huge star map and having to read it in the dark

by Scottabeer

Because I am new to astrophotography I’ve asked quite a few people what do I need to know and they said that I needed to learn the constellations and from there I can migrate to a smaller more focused area. StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap is so perfect for that.

by Night Wonder

Point at the sky, identify the stars and planets. After a while, you see them all so easily! Love StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap. Makes me look like a star when I go in to work and talk about the planets in the early morning sky.

by FSUEddie

Live StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap wife and use it every night. You have turned us into star gazers. Thank you so much for give us something to learn that is greater than bigger than the petty issues of earth. 🌃🌌🎆🎇😜

by ScienceTeacher5

I have been using StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap to help me to teach 10 year olds about space and the Earth's position in space. The looks of amazement are priceless when they get to "see" past the daytime sky.

by Applegirl49

I enjoy exploring the night sky with StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap. I've always had problems locating the stars and constellations... now beautifully shown here. I've shared StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap with friends and family! I recommend it to anyone who loves stargazing.

by Gigi5070

We downloaded this for a stargazing party. The adults and kids enjoyed using StarTrackerLiteLiveSkyMap even more than looking through the telescopes. This one is prettier than other apps too

by MexicoStrong

I find it very intuitive to use, has valuable information visible all the times, I love the zodiac figures it helps you to orientate yourself in the sky, and the names of stars, planets, supernovas are great. Thanks for developing it !!!!
