Response of our customers

Really a super device

Customer’s review from H. D. dated 05/02/2015

Now I finally know what I am looking at through my telescope. Universe2go tells you exactly where you are and what you are watching, you can search and you will find. Especially the Deep-Sky mode fascinated me, simply awe inspiring, the device is really worth the money. Setting up was super easy on the iPhone 4S, I hope for more new menus in the future. For now, I am looking forward to many clear nights. My boss would now say: well done, I am proud of you!!!

Astronomy made easy

Customer’s review from Maasche dated 21/01/2015

With Universe2Go one can quickly explore the starry sky and is additionally awarded with background knowledge, without having to read through a vast amount of literature. In the beginning, we had problems with the installation because of insufficient storage space. However, we were quickly able to deal with that! We already have an Omegon telescope and are very pleased with these products -> highly recommended!

Stars within reach

Customer’s review from Sternschnuppe dated 20/01/2015

Just in time for Christmas I was able to hold my Universe2go in my hands. Very excited. Both packaging and the device itself are very appealing and of high quality design. Both the storage pouch and the strap for carrying the device around the neck are very nice. The description is simple and easy to understand. I downloaded the App (Android) to my Smartphone. It is important to have a phone with more storage, because the App itself has a size of approx. 350Mb. Connect the Smartphone and fit it into the receptacle. Fits tightly and does not wobble. Excellent that this is possible in a modular design. It was then time to start the App and to calibrate. By following the instructions this worked without problems. Now there was nothing in the way to obstruct the “Star gazing mode”. The weather god showed a great deal of understanding and gave us a clear sky. Quickly became acquainted with the menu control by means of head movements and off we went. On this evening my partner and I watched the constellations Leo, Orion and Cassiopeia. If it hadn’t been so cold, we surely would have spent more time watching. ;-)
Our conclusion: First class equipment, which is simple to operate (plug and play) and brings you closer to the stars in a most entertaining way. I would not like to miss it and can, without reservations, recommend buying it.
