  • Do not reinstall

    If you have installed the ultimate version, you will lose telescope control and extended time frames to just 1600AD upon re-installation.

    Since last update however none of the information is accurate. Keeps telling me that the sun rises at 12 noon and there is no setpoint. Keep saying the moon is 98% full and rising although we are waning and just before half. When I hit reset to current location everything goes black except for the orbits. Best of all, when I hit follow the sky, I get a pop-up telling me that follow the sky only works when I am on earth. 😦
  • A True Contender

    When the devs first released this new version of their astronomy software, Redshift, I was excited. I've spent countless hours with their old version exploring and reading everything it had to offer. I quickly preordered the new version and waited for it to be released while wondering what new treasures were in store. Then after it was finally released came the disappointment. While the new Redshift looked more polished there seemed to be very little in terms of new content and what seemed even worse to me at the time was that now it came with a subscription fee. I was tempted to rush to the app store to write a scathing review but I decided to wait to see if anything new might still be coming. Ultimately, it was the right move. Adding the ability to explore different galaxies like you would for objects inside the Milky Way is a fantastic new addition that really expands the feeling of depth to this model universe. I do wish you had more range to view the universe on the grandest scale but you are only able to zoom out 100kpc away from any galaxy. I would like to be able to rotate the universe from a greater distance and then zoom down into a random galaxy. While I don't expect to be able to see objects in the far away galaxies it would be cool if eventually they added certain objects that we can observe in the nearby galaxies such as the LMC, SMC and Andromeda. Hopefully, that's why they have subscription fee now, to have ability to keep adding content. I can't wait to see what develops but for now it's a solid 4 stars with potential to be a perfect 5. Thanks to the devs on their awesome astronomy app!
  • No distances

    Your new app doesn’t show distances to celestial objects like the old app or at least I can’t find them. Why not?
  • Still the Same!

    Great app... wish it wasn’t so expensive.... but I had RedSky when I had it on my “computer” loaded by “floppy disk.” This updated version that allows real-time sky following on a mobile phone is excellent. I really recommend that educators use this app.
  • Worth it’s cost.

    If all apps were this good I would buy more apps. Clean UI. Friendly to beginners. The devs obviously care. It is my hope that if you are on the fence, I can nudge you into supporting good apps like this one. Edit: I forgot to mention the most important part. Dr. Becky recommended this app. Edit 2: YOU GUYS! The augmented reality is fantastic. This app keeps delivering.
  • Buy it!

    Worth every penny. Love this app.
  • A downgrade to the original

    I, too was looking forward to upgrade of a fantastic original app. What a disappointment! What’s with “famous comets” - had full comet base before - now only in subscription version, which is not even available (l bought subscription, but with problems in release, I won’t be able to try it out before “free trial period” is over. Does not sound like a keeper...)? Does not retain all my preference settings, and often crashes when I hit search icon. I understand that first releases have some problems, but they should have held off releasing this now - not ready... Revised review: problems fixed - trial run with subscription went good. I enjoyed previous version, and looks like this is another winner. Thanks to developers for responsiveness.
