I'm disappointed that this app doesn't have live sky where you can point the phone to the sky and see what is there UPDATE 8/9/24 I don't know if it was the fact that I've got a new phone, or the Android system has been updated to 14, or what. I thought I would give it another shot and sure enough it view the night sky live. I will enjoy this app now.

How is there not an option to turn the music and sound off? It's terrible.

Honestly, save your money for pro/+ if you're looking for a stargazing app for a telescope. Free sky safari does everything this does, The UI's are just nicer. I was impressed with the new UIs but was deeply disappointed with the fact that almost nothing is new features wise. Object placement is accurate. There is no equipment option. You do get access to 3D models of planets and nebulae, so that's neat. If it's a 3D observatory thing you're looking for, Celestia has a larger selection.

Hate the music.

This eclipse app is okay. You can select a location and it'll tell you the four timings for contact (first, totality, exiting totality, and last). My huge complaint is that I purchased the app but the audio alarms are a "pro" feature that requires their subscription service. Who wants to spend their viewing experience looking at their phone to check time when they should be looking at the sky? The audio warnings/alarms should be included, I can get the timings for free from the internet.
