It's all about proper setup. Then it's a blast - especially for the kids
by Adrian Manz (5 out of 5 stars)

If you have a kid who is interested in learning about the stars, then this is a great product. Works best with gyros in newer iPhones, and a little difficult to calibrate. But once it is running, it's really great. Give yourself 30 minutes to perform calibration and setup.

A great idea, but just not ready for prime time
by Sprout (2 out of 5 stars)
January 29, 2017

I really wanted this to work as advertised! A great idea, but just not ready for prime time. As an amateur astronomer I have some familiarity with the basics of night sky viewing, but I could not get this to work consistently with my iPhone 6s. Much of the problem is likely due to the requirement for accurate cell phone electronics re position and acceleration, which apparently exceeds my phone's capabilities. Additionally, the view through the Universe2go is not as bright as a naked eye view: the stars are significantly less bright, which makes it harder to identify constellations, and when the constellation lines are added by the software it is almost impossible to see the actual sky (using the one eye screen option - in the iPhone settings menu - improves this a bit since you can close the eye that sees the software to focus on the (diminished) natural view. So I am regretfully returning it.

Great Product, Easy to use and set up!
by Michael (5 out of 5 stars)

This is a must have for teachers, parents, or anybody generally interested in astronomy. The viewer is well made and easily mounted an iPhone 6s. Calibrating and setting up the app after the initial download was easy. Navigating within the app and using the complete setup was great. The information provided about constellations and planets was very educational and the augmented reality made it fun. Controlling the app while in the viewer was also easy and intuitive. All around this is a great product.

Good idea, so-so execution
by Amazon Customer (3 out of 5 stars)

It's a good concept and a hard one to execute well. Needs more development as far as making it user friendly and getting the projected image to align with the actual star positions.

Fantastic way to look and learn about the sky in ...
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)

Fantastic way to look and learn about the sky in real time! This is not virtual reality but the REAL sky being explained. I've always wanted to learn about what I was seeing in the sky and what is great here is that one sees the stars and a digital overlay that explains all about each star in the viewer. Great, unique product!

Awesome!

Very cool gadget once you get it calibrated. If you like the night sky and looking up at the stars I would highly recommend this product. Full of great and interesting information about the planets, stars, galaxies, constellations and more. I cant put it down! Love the AR. I bought a second unit for a friend of mine. If you're on the fence, take the leap, you'll love it!
