Comments about SkySafari Legacy Android Version

Short obnoxious alarms that don't take you to the app. It was pure chance I was on the phone when one came up, it then gave 2 seconds to tap it, then disappears. First few times it went off I had no clue what it even was. Alarms for ISS then gives 2 minutes notice to head somewhere you can actually see it and no apparent way to change this setting rendering the app pretty much useless if you want to view the ISS.
My favorite astronomy app, after trying 5-6 others. I like being able to toggle the compass. Descriptions are very informative. I like that you can set it to notify you of events (like satellites/planets rising). My only issue is that, although I've disabled sound for notifications via Android 8.0, notifications still have a sound. I'd rather be able to set it to vibrate or just silent, but still have a notification icon. Other than that, no issues and super useful!
I got new phone and loaded SkySafari. I went outside and held it up and it said the moon was straight ahead. Nope. 90 degrees to the left! Then I realized I hadn't inputted my location. After that it was spot on. Great app. I've told many about the app. Too bad there's not a knob to dial down the city lights! A great tool when you can escape the city.
