It installs OK on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A and Android 10. It won't work properly unless you also have an external micro sd card onto which you have downloaded the database. This is referred to in the app description but you need to click into it and it's easy to miss especially since similar apps like the Celestron one take care of database download for you. Perhaps make life easier for customers by making the app automatically downoad the latest database?
Not usable on Samsung s10 the right side controls are mostly blocked . The search feature having a regular bright keyboard also a big miss . Should be red everything to protect night adaptation . Not really a viable means of controlling a telescope at this time.
A Big Black Hole of an app. Since this app is required in order to use the explore scientific mount that costs $1000, it SHOULD work. IT DOES NOT! It crashes constantly which renders your telescope useless. These are the same problems I've been reading about on their forums going back three years. In other words, explore scientific just doesn't care. They take your money though. Don't purchase this mount or ANY mount that relies on the PMC8. Otherwise, find a good therapist!
Simply don't buy the mount. It's not worth it. I have written a realistic review on Explore Sci website and they didn't publish it. I opened the mount and saw it inside. It's manufactured very poorly in China. They have no idea about precision whatsoever. You have to be a prodigy engineer and IT to get it work smoothly with a sky simmulator program. This mediocre app is just a bad joke. No advanced funcrions of switching the directions. No poss. to use a hand control. Buy SkyWatcher instead!
Not compatible with any Android phone Even not compatible up to 10 inch tablets.only good for laptops and Tablets with screen size 10 inch+ App must be compatible to any screen size...
Having a lot of difficulty using this app. I've been trying for over 2 weeks to get it working with my new iexos. Fortunately the Windows version is working very well. Android is a no-go for me so far.
No matter what I do this piece of garbage will not run! Your instructions for installation are, at best, sketchy and at worst unusable!
Poorly Galaxy S10+. Requires a tablet or PC. Not mentioned in the sales literature.
East to use. App is intuitive and does an excellent job running the PMC-Eight telescope control system.
Half the screen on one device and on my galaxy note it's not even available in my Google play store??? Not a good start!
This app sucks
Horrible, why would they design an app that has to be used with a tablet, which most people don't have because most smartphones are more powerful and convenient. Thankfully I have a laptop I can use, otherwise I would be returning my new mount without even using it.
