Horrible user interface

• ★☆☆☆☆   xcgfgvb 7 years ago ( v 3.0 )

“I-Candy Software” The company name Pretty much says what the problem is. The author is so in love with the eye and eary candy that little effort was paid to designing a functional interactive experience. There’s essentially no menu at all..no tools to manipulate the screen …and if a detailed, indexed “help” system is hidden somewhere only the author knows about it. Suggest bringing in a no nonsense content designer who knows how to build a functioning program that someone seriously interested in stufying the night sky can use. What’s so wrong with “Function before form” as a guiding principle?

Le ciel nocturne

• ★☆☆☆☆   Le ciel nocturne 11 years ago ( v 1.3 )

Pas en Français, musique heureusement désactivable, graphisme nul.

Inutile

• ★☆☆☆☆   Ggto14 10 years ago ( v 1.3 )

Je ne trouve aucun intérêt à cette application, que je trouve moins performante que certaines applications gratuites, De plus les graphismes sont loin dêtre transcendants, on ne peut pas mettre cette application en Français contrairement à ce qui est écrit dans les informations. Bref à fuir au plus vite….

You cant set the date and time in the application

• ★☆☆☆☆   sikma 8 years ago ( v 1.3 )

You cant set the date and time in the application. So you can only view the current time that computers set to, which is a royal pain. Pretty much explains why this is priced at half off.

Simply ugly :-(

• ★★☆☆☆   Rhudhy 9 years ago ( v 1.3 )

Compared to it’s iOS brother it’s simply ugly and very limited. I’ve buyed it hoping for the same experience as I had on the iPhone and I’m dissapointed.

не определяется местоположение...

• ★★★☆☆   Коммуняга 12 years ago ( v 1.1.1 )

программа не определяет местоположение ноута ни с вайфаем, ни с гпрс-модемом. не помешала бы ручная установка местоположения хотя бы по координатам. на мой взгляд starwalk для ios на порядок более качественная программа (понятно, что без жпс и компаса она не может быть настолько же крутой, но в ее нынешнем виде она совсем не работает...). надеюсь обновление исправит недостатки так как очень бы хотелось иметь подобную программу на ноутбуке.
