    This telescope is pretty good for beginners. Took me a few tries to get it lined up properly with the app. Had a awesome view of the moon super close. Still waiting to get a view or Saturn or Jupiter. Can't wait

    Quick and easy to setup. Setting up take some patience. Have not use the app. Will update soon. Overall is very good product. 1 part came loose inside lense but was easily put back. Worth it to spend a little more than a 50 dollars telescope.

    Great starter telescope. Could easily see stars and planets BUT it takes getting used to and a steady hand to find things in the night sky! Alignment tool is absolutely useless though. Just find things manually and you’ll be fine and can atleast experience something.

    Got this for my wife for Christmas and just wow! We live in the city and have lots of light pollution yet this telescope was able to clearly filter past that and we are enjoying looking at stars we can’t even see with the naked eye.
