  1. wwillisrn

    So far so good. I have only played with this a little but I was able to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.

  2. David

    Pretty easy to set up. Works good though still disappointed that can’t see things even bigger and more clearly, but even after spending $400 instead of less than a $100 for a telescope, you can’t get the really good views without spending thousands.

  3. hockeynut120669

    First telescope. Total beginner here and I am not disappointed. Great for kids to explore with also. Definately recommend purchasing this as a first telescope.

  4. Rahul

    This is a great telescope but the phone holder is not very user friendly and it was very difficult to actually calibrate it to the telescope. The whole point of buying this telescope was to use this feature but I wasn’t able to as the telescope would not align with my phone camera (iPhone XS)

  5. Skybound

    Great quality easy to put together amazing clarity can’t wait for wife to open it she has wanted one for some long price point is on point

  6. Hilarey

    Really easy to assemble and use. We are first timers with using a telescope and it’s so easy!! Definitely recommend!!

  7. Skyviewer

    The telescope works great. The interface with the iPhone to find the targets in the sky is a really good function.

    It is also fairly easy to transport.

  8. liz2285

    Excellent beginner telescope. Bought for my husband for Christmas and he is loving it.

  9. BestReview

    Amazing product. Very easy to use! High quality. I definitely recommend this product.

  10. Paul

    Excellent scope getting good use out of it . Very enjoyable

  11. Beats

    The reviews were great so im hoping it works great and we can get to see some stars and more.

  12. Erin

    As a new member of the sky gazing family, this one is amazing! The details of the moon are so clear! I can’t wait to buy more lens attachments!

  13. WayneR

    Very good for beginners. Stars! Love Sci-fi. Hey,

  14. Oldman

    Bought for my granddaughters and they love it..They particularly like the app that lets them know what they are looking at.

  15. user697100

    Great telescope, very easy to set up and the app is easy to navigate. Easy to take around as well. Fun gift for your favorite stargazer!

  16. BenjaminH

    Very impressive telescope that is very easy to use. I have little light pollution where I am and I am able to see planets as in Neptune. I love the images and my friends are amazed with the images I am able take with this telescope. Worth every cent!

  17. RickieR

    Took a little longer to get app to work.
    Whole reason I Chose this one.
    Some was due to my own mistakes.I got it to work and it did what I expected.
    Telescope it self works well.
    I would recommend getting better lenses.
    Ones that come with work ok.
    I had some better lens options.
    I like it’s more portable than my others.

  18. KenKar

    It’s a good telescope. Saturn is just smaller than a dime. Jupiter a bit fuzzy but could be haze in our area? The stargazer app is not necessary if you’re on a tight budget. Once you start learning where planets and stars are you’ll have a great hobby!

  19. Bgdeez

    Love it!! Never had one but learning with this one

  20. MattS

    Easy to put assemble. Works great. It has been fun using it.

  21. Matt

    Ok price and ok performance. Telescope does not have a wifi adapter so you can’t use apps to help locate things in the sky. Otherwise pretty cool, you can clearly see the rings of Saturn, the red spot on Jupiter.

  22. Montana

    I love my new telescope. The price was right and I can’t wait for the weather to warm up a little to use it outside.

  23. JustinM

    Amazing intro telescope. Crystal moon details and Mars is clear as well.

  24. Britbrit114

    Terrible blurry quality, you can see the moon but not as clearly as $400+ should – this device cannot see ANYTHING else no matter how large close it may be or how clear the sky is. Does not have the option to view through your phone so that is definitely bull. Base of scope came covered in thick grease that gets all over. Return window extremely short. Terrible gift. Rip off.
