The app doesn't work and the only directions are in German
Not at all what I expected. The app doesn't work at all and they direct you to a new app that crashes as soon as you open it. I definitely want my money back

I could see the background stars matching the animation
You normally can get a planetarium software for your mobile phone, but this one allows you to see the real sky at the same time

I would not buy this again. Have to set up w/ each use.
You must run through a multi-step set up process to begin. This must be repeated with each different person who uses it, with every use. The operating instructions are not intuitive. This is not a product for the casual user who wants to learn about stars and constellations.
Response from merchant
We're sorry this item has been inconvenient for you to use. In order to be as accurate and immersive as possible, the Personal Planetarium requires this initial setup each time. We want you to enjoy everything you purchase from us, but if you're not fully satisfied, you can return things to us for a refund. We can gladly help with a return for this - just call us at 888-365-0056, email us at help@uncommongoods.com, or click on "Live Chat" under "Support" near the bottom of our site.

Can this be used without being connected to WiFi? I'm wondering about using it in the backcountry or "off the grid"
Verified reply from Allison
Once you download the free app you are good to go! You need the app to download the guide before you start. It can then be used without an internet connection.
