SkySafari App Reviews

A little disappointing. My initial reaction was a little disappointed. The app returns to wherever I last looked. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to get back to the sky overhead at today’s date and time. Would be nice to have something to center on the current zenith. Also when I used the search feature the app did not have many of the objects I would have expected to be included. Many of the popular nebulae are missing. For example the horse head nebula. I tried searching for the common name and the official designation. The add-in purchase of cosmos does not appear to add those objects. If it did, I would probably purchase the add-in. Overall, I was disappointed. I have several other astronomy apps installed and this one is slightly different but at first experience, does not seem to be any better than the others. I do not own a telescope that supports “control”, so sky safari pro is not an appropriate purchase.

Most amazing....EVER! Hands down.. You could spend the rest of your life exploring with skysafari6 and never have to see the same object twice. Pure GENIUS! George Jetson didn’t have it this good! NOW you really CAN tell your telescope where to go. We absolutely love all the people and products at simulation curriculum,they are so nice and Very helpful folks. THIS is what cutting edge technology...looks like. S.T.E.M. Is the future,here’s a path forward. With great respect. Dean Janson

VR is fantastic. VR is Fantastic, its a bit hard to hold the ipad and put buttons to take the photo(s) while composing the photo but it is do-able. My subject had to stand up on a box and I had to sit very low to compose the photo but the results are truly amazing. Suggestion: put the ‘shutter button’ somewhere easy to push or use voice commands.

Sky Safari is an excellent resource for both the beginner and veteran stargazer. First and foremost, this app is very user friendly, even for an extreme neophyte. This is an amazing app that shows your location under the celestial sphere and allows you to zoom in on any object of interest, from constellation to deep sky object, at will. You are also able to see objects of interest below the horizon in anticipation of later viewing. This app keeps track of the sky 24/7 at your location, even during the day, reminding you that the stars are still there even when the Sun is shining. This helps the beginner learn the celestial seasons with the reassurance that in six months this same invisible daytime sky will become the nighttime sky yet again. This app will send you notifications of selected sightings of predicted events such as ISS (Zarya) crossings.

Confusing Multiple Apps. The app does work, even though the user interface is a bit outdated. There’s a lot of info available, but it’s all cramped and cluttered. There are multiple apps from this developer with the same/similar name at varying costs. Since there are warnings to choose the app version carefully and after much confusion I just went with the NiteSky app and their $9.99 subscription for a year. Your warning caused me to go with your competitor.

Amazing. I live in north western Maine, one of the only places in the northeast not contaminated by light pollution. This app is amazing, the accuracy of the location of stars and constellations is dead on. It’s easy to use and GREAT for anyone interested in stargazing. Thank you!

Doesn’t have features shown in preview. I bought the app so I find out how much of the sky I could see with my scope. In the Preview it shows screenshots of a “Scope” tab but my app does not have it. I thought maybe it’s just part of the Pro version and was going to upgrade but don’t see a way to upgrade my version 6 to version 6 pro within the app. Not very happy with my purchase since the only thing I wanted it for was to put my scope info in.

Lost star catalog designations. Really bummed that this version doesn’t display various star catalog names for stars. This is really useful for those using computerized mounts without direct connection of the app to the telescope. Now I have the extra step of looking up a star via other sources to get their HIP or SAO designations for entering in to my hand controller. Used to have this capability in SS5 but not apparently in this SS6 free version. Makes me wonder whether it’s even displayed in the Pro version.

La Superba!. Most helpful in planning dawn and dusk Nightscape photography outings. Positioned the view to the eastern or western horizon and fast forwarded program to identify objects that will be rising or setting just before or just after the sun, at which times the light is optimal for Nightscape photography.

Astrophotography go to for camera set-up.. This is my go to app to set-up my camera on a clock mechanism to do astrophotography. It helps me locate objects to photograph and to check my photos for nebulosity's. The only issue is with stars set visually to maximum magnitude 12 on the app the app only reaches out to 9.6 magnitude and photos taken with a 300mm telephoto on a CANON EOS60D "sees" well beyond that. It is still the best "search" app for photography!

Best app in its class. Fantastic app! I’ve tried many and this is my favorite by far. You can even search for cosmic objects (stars, planets, etc.) and it will direct you to them with an arrow. This is the easiest to use star-gazing app I’ve found. An additional bonus is that it gives elaborate info on all the stars, comets, etc. my only criticism: You can’t turn off the sound.

Best celestial app out there. One time while using sky safari pro I saw a shooting star cross the sky…..and my phone screen at the same time. By far the best app for stargazing

A wonderful astronomy program. This is a great program to have in your iPhone as an assistant when you gaze at the night sky! Planets and stars are in proper placement and the zoom function is great.

Constant ads & alerts, crappy interface & not as good as free apps. Get the free app Sky View Lite instead and save yourself a couple bucks - way better functionality and doesn’t have any ads or alerts that I’ve found so far. I’m not working for that app developer, just telling you so you don’t make my mistake. No idea why this one is rated so highly - not worth even a free download.

Like the app, but owe me the Pro version. I had the Pro version for years, but hadn’t use for awhile. When I opened the app it kept crashing. I tried everything that I found online to fix it with no success. I repurchased the basic app and hoped since I was already registered it would automatically update with Pro. Nope. I’m out my original $70+ and the $2.99 for the basic version.

User Error?. I tried this app for the first time tonight and found it didn’t line up as accurately as I would have liked. I tried using Venus as a visual reference point however when I used the app overlay the apps location for Venus was different than the actual location. I could actually see both images (the real one and and labeled app one) about an inch apart. The same thing with Mars. Is this user error or app error. Over all first impression is meh but that could change if I learn if I screwed it up vs app error.

Get the Plus. It wasn’t very clear what’s included in each version. It took me just a few minutes to figure out the Basic are really basic. Went online to look up a feature, and found out “... This feature only supported by Plus and Pro. ...” The Basic probably should’ve been the lite/demo instead of charging people for it. And yes, I purchased the Plus.

Great app... I’ve downloaded several different star/constellation/gazing apps and I appears that this one has my heart..! It is truly a great way to spend time with your family It’s the best star finder simply because it it has the most cosomo info, everything is user friendly and has the capability to make me appear as though I am a genius. I Just downloaded it today and I’m already navigating the constellations like ima StarBoy!!!

Not worth the money!. Was excited at first to try it, but was a bit of a let down once I paid the initial $2.99. Keeps trying to get you to pay even more for stuff that I thought would be included in the price I initially paid. It also doesn’t move around as you do, like apps such as SkyView do! It’s also not easy to maneuver the map and is very limited to what you can see without paying EVEN more. The plus is that when you do finally get the map to focus on what you want, there is a good amount of info on there, but but nothing that isn’t already made available for free on Google.

Kilometers to miles. This is really an amazing app I really enjoy star gazing and this app helps me to do so but I was wondering if there’s a way to change from kilometers to miles for the distance of an object I have no idea how to read kilometers so having it changed to miles would really help. Thanks again for this amazing app!

SkySafari AR is best Free Astronomy App. There are still many issues with Skysafari Astronomy Apps, for example SkySafari Pro, SkySafari Plus and SkySafari AR (Free) all mix small Greek letters with small Latin letters to name stars, the small Latin Letters have long ago been abandoned by IAU (International Asttonomical Union) So there is identity conflict when comparing SkySafari AR to paper star atlas.

Practically useless on my iPhone 8 using IOS 14.1. I’m not an astronomer. One of the main reasons I got this app was to LEARN, and the fact the phone would automatically adjust what was shown on the screen as I moved it around was a big selling point. My phone will not do this basic function. I have location services on (system does show correct location), but whether I have compass on or AR running (as shown by the blank compass and little “AR” on the screen), my phone screen is static, no matter where I point it. I can manually move the screen around, but that’s pointless because I don’t know what the heck I’m pointing at. Selecting an object on the phone is useless because I don’t know if there’s any correlation between the real world and what I’m selecting on the app. It’s been this way since I downloaded this piece of junk. This is my first attempt to get it fixed; if the developers can get it working I’ll update my review.

So much to do in the App, little overwhelming!. Incredible App, I could spend days looking at everything, between what is in the App and all of the astronomy sites connected to it! So much to it/to learn that I do find it a little overwhelming (I began with another AR App before this one which may be attributing to why?)! Personally, for me I think pop ups of “how to” info and facts which could be shut off when you felt you could remember how to do everything would be great- it’s hard to remember or make sense of everything I read when I close out of the pages that tell you how to do everything. Great App 👏🏼 you can tell a lot of hard work went into creating it. Perfect for home astronomy

Bought pro 2 minutes later. Should have just bought pro. Did 2 minutes later and wasted $3 on this version. Bummer. excited for pro though. Make sure you compare the different versions because these is no path to upgrade. I use my phone a lot when doing public events with my astronomy club and the pro is a much better fit.

Great App - User friendly. I find ths very easy to use. And, if you want to change settings - you can add contellation drawings, etc. I really like the ease of rolling the date and time forward, and changing location, to see what sky will be like next month when I am on vacation somewhere else.

Amazing. This APP is truly amazing. At 67 years old I have never really looked up until the pandemic has given me time to do so. I luckily just stumbled across this APP and instantly was amazed at how much is out there, how much I’ve missed all my life and how wonderful the cosmos is. I’ve found the APP simple to use. I live in town with too many city lights so I’ve focused only on stars and planets visible to the eye, the 20 brightest and found the basic information to be fascinating. The he APP tells the details such as size, distance, makeup, life span and how the object has been viewed in human history. The only flaw I experience each day is the compass. Very frequently I find the APP to be many degrees, sometimes even 180 off. Makes identifying objects difficult. I don’t know if that is due to my iPhones internal compass being off or if the APP has its own compass, but it does require recalibrating the compass by spinning it around in circles or sometimes shutting the phone down. It would be nice to know how to eliminate this issue. But, for the money, are you kidding, this APP is so amazing it’s truly incredible. Thank you to the developer!

Change is not always good. It used to be easy to change from hours to minutes etc. now I have to press this button then another. Bye bye! Your response did not help. I’m not talking about the actual date and time. I used to have a box that I could advance the display by seconds, minutes, days, etc. that box is gone and now if I want to see what time the moon rises and where, I have no means. And sure, you put moonrise time on a different page, but it doesn’t tell me which direction to look. I’ve checked settings to see if it’s there but no.

Experienced user. I have used SkySafari Pro for many years. I use it to control three telescopes I own. This SkySafari program is more basic and is excellent for people who are more casual observers and not using telescopes. It provides a very good sky map and a wealth of information.

Sky Safari. We really enjoy this app. We have learned so much. It’s fascinating to look at the sky and identify the stars. We live in a rural area where the sky isn’t washed out by urban lights. We are going to invest in a more sophisticated telescope so that the experience of star gazing will be even better. It kind of scary though to know that the universe is so large.

No “advanced search”, false advertising. I bought this basic version of the app because I read online that SkySafari can search by multiple details like object type, magnitude, ascension, declination, altitude, azimuth, distance, etc. The description of this app lists “Advanced Search - find objects using properties other than their name”. But this is a lie, the only search option is to find by name. $3 spent one a lie. Their website (which seems to be out of date by a version or 4 depending on which page your on) says there’s an “advanced search” option under the text entry field on the search interface - only there isn’t. So I then paid $30 for the Pro version, thinking “oh, the advanced search must be in the pro version”. Nope, exactly same search functionality. They need to be more clear about NOT offering advanced search options in their apps and I need a refund.

Sky Safari is the best.. I’ve had this app for years. I encourage new users to get into the settings to make the most of the app. I like to show asterisms for instance.

Sky Safari is the GOAT. This app is so good that I keep my old sky atlas app around just for the sake of comparison. I use the two apps together as a tool to encourage others to upgrade. I tell them “Look here, I used to use this outdated app but now I cruise the skies with Sky Safari!” Once they see the difference, they are sold! If their Internet connection will bear it, they download this app on the spot. The feature suite and extras in Sky Safari are extraordinary! The display pops with vivid details and well layered information. This app is surely the Greatest Of All Time in its class.

OUTSTANDING. Hi!!! I’m a kid (nine years of age) but I LOVE zodiacs and constellations! I’m a prodigy, (and I know I am because I can name the zodiacs frontwards and backwards) But sky safari helps me identify what constellations are in the night. I can see Virgo (my zodiac) Cancer Scorpio Taurus Gemini Capricorn Aquarius Pisces Leo and so much more!!! I rely on sky safari but there’s one little problem that needs to be fixed. So basically I turned on all the labels and it was a little bit laggy but when I went to turn it back off, it wouldn’t turn back off because the button just disappeared. Please fix this!!! I love sky safari but I can’t use it with all these labels! Kind regards, SkySafari user

All you need besides a telescope. This App goes with me every time I take a telescope out (which is every clear night). Whether in your own backyard or out on excursion companion, especially when installed on a mobile device with a larger display, as long as you have the built-in GPS of your device (and assuming you have some sort of signal) you can literally swing your tablet/device around and get a map of the sky. Then you can program the GoTo of your telescope, slew to either Alt/Az coordinates or RA/Dec, or just swing a pair of binoculars. The dynamic clock feature, and several features whether built in or the optional subscriptions are good for short and long term planning. The Search with a representative image with "Locate" feature is a plus for determining if you can swing your telescope to a point before you decide to try. I believe premium versions of this App integrate with the desktop version. Maybe it would also import and export lists and logs. To make best use of this App, learn about the limits of your telescope and your night sky (light pollution) so that you can set magnitude (darkness) limits for stars and other objects in the Settings. Ok maybe you'll only have 10,000 objects that are visible, but it helps with screen clutter. I also set the Milky Way, horizon and Constellation features and the display becomes aesthetically pleasing.

App interface issue. I’m trying to go back in time BC but this app return at the actual date with the most little mistake loosing al the time that you spend for looking back 6000 bc or more. There is no way to set a fast looking time. If you lock your date at the year 0 it return again to the actual date. Do not spend the extra money for this because it’s a faulty feature. I really want my money back

Couldn’t be better!. This app is amazing! I’ve been using Star Chart for the longest time, drooling to get my hands on this. Now it’s free! However, it might be a little difficult for first time stargazers because it can have a lot of distractions. I love the voice control, it really helps free up my hands. Forty dollars is a lot for an app, but I love this so much, I think Pro will definitely be worth it. I was surprised to find that it has little to no lag even with all of the items to display. It is a high quality app and I thank Simulation Curriculum.

I can spend hours . . .. What a app for astronomy buffs! Locate (within a reasonable proximity) that dot of light you see, find out what is known about it, follow its path, past or future, and get updates on upcoming astronomical events! I used it to observe the recent blue (accurately, Orange) super moon eclipse at totality just before dawn, knowing that since it calculates the viewing perspective from my exact location, I could get the eclipse right in the stage I wanted and know exactly where in the sky it was going to be. I like the music, too, but it can be turned off and on.

Too much unclear. Looks like a good app, and I was trying to decide whether to upgrade to Plus while the discount was available (or possibly even Pro)—but there are Help files that are unclear, graphic glitches with the Apollo addition, and the voice control (though I understand it’s in “progress”) doesn’t work even with the example commands listed. It’s less than clear what new features are available in the upgrade version, other than the free Apollo add-in—which I already purchased. So I don’t have enough reason (at least not enough clear reason) to upgrade, especially when I’m having trouble with features already available. I’ll definitely keep the app on my phone and use it. Perhaps it’s just me; but, regardless, if I’m already having trouble, there’s little point inviting more. All the basic features seem to work fine, and I’d still recommend the basic app for others—perhaps those who might have better luck (or even sufficient skill) to use it more effectively.

Superb!. This terrific free app is designed with the serious amateur astronomer in mind. The app contains detailed star charts and a full catalog of all the celestial objects an amateur astronomer could hope to find, with detailed descriptions of these objects. I find the app to be very useful for finding deep sky objects as the charts are sufficiently detailed for star hopping. A nice touch is “tonight’s best”, which gives good ideas for objects to look for.

Best astronomy app ever. The developer deserves 5 stars for developing such a great app and for listening to users! I'm impressed by the fact that the developer actually took time to reply and develop features that users want. I think that's what makes the app so fantastic! A huge thank you for making such a wonderful thing!

Sky Safari. If you had a great observatory with a camera that could WiFi straight to your smartphone and you could use it to observe day or night. If you had an astronomy library that would allow you to choose a constellation, a star, a planet, or a deep sky object and learn and see what objects it contained. If you planned a star party and based on what you read in Sky and Telescope Magazine everyone would know where to look and what they were expected to find. You would have seen a little of what Sky Safari is

Best sky software hands down!. I love this app so much and use it almost every day for transit information! The ability to look so far into the past & also into the future is amazing! Highly recommend this app!

Awesome app. This is such a quick and easy app to use. Has a lot of features and can be used by yourself or even when leading a group on a tour of our corner of the stellar neighborhood

Thanks for the clarification, Love the “pluto” background sounds. Thanks a lot for clarification. If you really liked the older app background music instead of “cricket” sound, go to Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Ambient Sounds > Pluto. This sounds is so peaceful & satisfying. Love the app & developers. Thanks a lot.

Premium app that sells premium subscription. Unfortunately I paid for this sky map app that has only the basic info without the satellites which they charge additional premium for. Besides that they even couldn’t display correct time it was one hour ahead. I could have gotten the same or more for free. Compared to google sky this is a joke.

Where is IC 434 Horsehead. One of the better star charts out there but has a few quirks. Love the AR compass feature. Was using last night latest version for about 1.5 hours and the app locked up on my iPhone 8 about 10 times. Screen gets stretched and app gets completely locked up. Have to unload and reload each time. Looking for a better app. Also IC 434 is missing from Orion.

Sky safari 🙂🙂. I like the compass and how it gives altitude info and how to help your telescope track the "object".It also tells the constellation 🌌 and the dawn and dusk info.I like how AR allows you to combine the sky with special programming plus graphics which is quite cool/fun tool.

Sky Safari AR. I’m an amateur astronomer, using both telescopes and APPs. The Sky Safari AR is by far one of the best apps around to learn and gather more information about our Universe! Way to go what a great APP. My sincere appreciation for your outstanding job!

Confusing Versions. I purchased what I think (?) was Sky Safari 7 a few years ago for around $6 (I don’t remember the exact amount). Now I’m noticing that the app is called Sky Safari Eclipse 2024. The help screens still refer to it as Sky Safari 7 though. What’s more confusing is that the help screens refer to “Plus” and “Pro” versions being available, but other screens offer access to a “Premium” version. So at this point I’m confused about (a) what version I have, (b) what version I would want, and (c) what version(s) are available. All this up-selling gets a little annoying after a while. Otherwise it’s a very good app.

Simply Wow!!. Got a reference from an astronomy group when I accidentally spotted Mars and asked questions for it. Absolutely loved it from the day I installed it. The best part is there’s no annual subscription involved, makes sense as I am gonna use it that frequently. Just one addition that I would like to see is the visibility index, kinda recommendations that can say if a planet is visible to naked eye or needs a telescope.

Great. Awesome app

Too much advertising for a paid app. It works. However be prepared for a continuous onslaught of advertising for extras to a high price app for features that should be included. Charging for catalogues which are available in the public domain.

Super helpful.. Easy to use and so informative as to which star and planet you are looking at in real time from your actual location.

🥱🥱🥱. Wow it is making me sleepy

Stupendous app. Ever wonder what that is in the sky, this app is perfect. You can even locate heavenly bodies through the Earth.

Sky safari. I like it it’s good far looking at the planets and constellations in the telescope

Great program. Been playing with Program very good

How good is sky safari!. It has stars!

Awesome App. I Just bought my first telescope and this app is perfect for what I want.. I downloaded heaps of other apps to try before I buy and found them to be to busy and gave more information than I need. The app seems accurate & is a lot more user friendly than the others plus a lot cheaper... certainly recommend this. Well done to the developers

AMAZING APP!!!!. What a fantastic app it is great for viewing the sky day or night I love it, it is also my new favourite app

My favourite app. I absolutely love this app. Staring at the night sky is my favourite past time, even more so now as I’m learning about all the constellations. Thank you to the developer!

sky view. I am beginning to enjoy it but I am finding it rather confusing.

Telescope connecrion. I have a nexstar 4se telescope, I downloaded and installed the Sky Safari app, paid, after all success, how come there is no option in the settings menu to connect to the telescope? did i buy wrong?

Compass to the stars. Love the compass feature point and shoot at the sky so you can see what your looking at!

Harty 69. Nice feel to this whole experience

My new favourite app. I tried a few star apps and this one is the best I found by a long stretch. It just works. The AR map is informative and pretty but doesn’t overdo it. Stacks of other information too including when planets rise & set in your location.

Love it. Excellent app

Perfect for the Backyard Star Gazer. This App is fantastic for Star gazing! Wether your an amateur or an expert, you should download this to your phone and iPad device. Extremely accurate. 10/10 in my personal opinion.

Problems. I have to turn my phone off and on to activate the panning of the night sky.

Compass. Hello there anyone knows why the compass doesn’t work it says can’t find true north or something it’s iPhone 11

Family Hobby. This app works with or without a telescope. Find stars, constellations, planets and comets, etc. Accurate and precise. Informative and exploratory. Goes where we go and keeps us looking up.

Much appreciated! Thank you!!. 👍

Better options out there. Bought to track the Neowise comet but apparently i need to purchase an upgrade for that. Lame.

Not bad but not good. The app itself is pretty decent. Shows all of the deep sly and solar system objects pretty well. The issue is when using the app, it will randomly delete objects that you were once looking at and when you try to search it again it says it doesn’t exist. All-in-all 3 stars.

Great for astrophotography. I use this app for my astrophtography setup with my Celestron AVX mount and the ASIAIR astrocomputer. This allows controlling my telescope mount remotely using the GoTo function. It works perfectly. I also use it to prepare my nights and choose my targets. Given the sky pollution and the large obstruction of the field of view in my backyard, this allows me to scroll to the bit of sky which is visible at a given point in time. I also use it when aligning my telescope. Since Celestron is asking to point the telescope at specific named stars, I can quickly search for them and use the locate function: it draws an arrow giving you the direction to orient your phone/tablet. Very convenient when you only know some major star names.

Awesome program.. Easy to use app, great for quick info.

Great starter app. Tried it loved it am now going pro

Lame so far. Screen isn’t movin on its own

Will. My dad made this app

Perfect fun old school , with idiot proof technology.. Try it , its worth 3 bucks.

Mind blowing!. So impressed with the detailing of the app! So easy to find specific stars you are looking for. I love the graphics!.

Apollo missions won't download.. Hi, thanks for the free upgrade. However the 'Apollo missions' doesn't download once purchased. Was great already, but is even better now with the upgrade!

Sky Safari is my Guide to the Cosmos. I use Safari almost daily. From planning out my night to learning about about all the amazing weird stuff up in the sky, I love it. It’s one of those apps (the only one?) that is a pure joy to use. Thanks, John

Beautiful app, but .... Apple Watch app installs but opens to all black screen and won’t load. Watch app would be most used by me over the iPad app.

One little request!. This app is so intuitive and clear. If I could have one wish fulfilled, it would be to give me the option to hide the permanent top bar with time and location. In night time lighting, that thing is so darn bright, and without it, the view would be so much more immersive. Besides, I know my location!

C... De voleurs. These are thieves, I bought several options with the application and now almost everything has been unavailable since update! However, I had to buy these options and there they ask me for a subscription to have access to it!

Gorgeous. Simply beautiful!

Excellent!. Très bonne application, facile d’utilisation et bien complète. La réalité augmentée est bien intéressante mais pas toujours facile à synchroniser. Mais les détails des éléments du ciel sont bien documentés.

Not what I wanted. You have to get $.99 for your app and then ask for more. I got the The Eclipse App for free to get what I wanted. Greedy.

3etangs. Génial

tres bon application. beaucoup de detail et tout ce qu il y a à savoir.

Disappointed!. I paid $40 for this app when it first came out. Now they want a subscription. The first app that does not honor your purchase. Very disappointing!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

I like it. I just wanted a sky map that would tell me which star, planet & constellations ...not for rocket surgeons but I like it this way. I don’t want flashy effects...nice, simple & easy Thanks!

The compass is what I was looking for. I just wanna know where to look for the most popular areas. You should include a section with astronomers favorites stars as suggestions for beginners

Enjoying this app. Still learning but it is user friendly, I’m enjoying this app

Helpful Seeing Tool. I use this app to plan my night seeing objects and time, as well as learn more about the night sky.

Sky Safari. Excellent! We need such programs to help us explore and understand the Cosmos’s. The Universe, constantly expanding, is our last domain. Man’s thirst for knowledge will never end in this quantum's of space. Cudo’s....

Makes stargazing fun and easier!. With my 9.25 Evo this program helps me explore the night sky and take so much of the guess work out of it.

A Must For Stargazers. This app has never let me down. I love the precision. And my son loves the alerts that tell us when the International Space Station will be flying by overhead. Amazing! 5/5

Completely love this astro app!. This is a wonderful beginners app for finding nam s and getting info on cekestial and bjects. The music is pleasabt. Going teal time wirh GPS is a treat!

The Best Astronomy Study App. This app is amazing! You can help kids from 3-99 learn astronomy. They can learn stars,planets, and animals in the sky. I hope you update soon!

The best astro app. Period.. Love this app! So easy to use, has everything you want to look at, and shows you what there is to see tonight.

New to Astronomy. So far, enjoying this. Wish the sky view would show the moon so I can be positive that my orientation and understanding of the stars is correct. Downloaded to star gaze with my son. He thought it was “supercool”

Umm I don’t know. First of all, are you kidding with the cheesy zen music? ... that you can’t turn off? This app is bs to get you to spend $4 on the real app. Don’t waste your time. Too bad the original app doesn’t work anymore.

New to amateur astronomy. Want to navigate the night sky, but seems clear skies are rare for me. Now I can see in any weather. Thanks

Buyer Beware. I wanted an app that would help us find the Atlas Comet. A website said this app would do that, and the app icon is a comet. We paid the $4.99 for the app and then found out we would have to pay an expensive subscription price to get comet data. Comet info is considered “Premium”. I regret paying for the app and will seek a refund.

Outstanding. Wow!!!! I love space and anything about it. This app is very informative and outstanding. Highly recommend

Easy & Accurate. I love this app! It’s so easy to use. Find all the constellations on your scope with accuracy from point A to B and so forth…….

Purchased cosmos collection but cannot access. Good so far in the past few hours since purchase, however not able to see how/ where cosmos collection can be accessed

WOW. Best astronomy app I’ve ever seen. It’s got everything. My only difficulty is holding a future day & time in the sky for study without it keep flipping back to “Now”.

It’s awesome. So you know it needs an update so you can see things in 3D and that’s going to be awesome and you know I can be 3D HAPPY so I hope it has an update soon!

The Heavens just got Personal!!. How wonderful it is to finally look up at the night sky and know the heavens and constellations by name... I can finally see the forest for the trees! What a Wonderful App!

Great App. It has a lot of information. I was very pleased when I found out it actually had the Bubble Nebula(NGC 7635) because the other app I bought did not.

Ski Safari. I use the Starry Night 7 on my 27” IMac to learn the sky when indoors and out in the field I use Ski Safari on my iPhone along with my Questar/Olympus OM-10 combo to do photography. Works well!

Amazing!. This ap is incredible, especially for the low price! I can’t wait to use it with my grandchildren!

Don’t Bother with Apple Watch App. The Apple Watch App doesn’t work. I only purchased the full version ($3.99) for this function. All it does is load a black screen with the clock, but if you’re lucky, it will work the first time you open it. After that, it just doesn’t work. The worst part is that it has been impossible to get a refund for this purchase.

Most frequently used astronomy app!. I have several Astro apps, and Sky Safari is my favorite! This is the one I recommend to new amateurs.

Best for me. I’ve used all of these products and this is absolutely the one I like best. Easy, direct and intuitive. Dead on accurate.

I will NOT buy again.. I paid top dollar for the earlier version only to get shafted on the upgrade. Did you make any additional money off of me? No you did not. Will you make any money off of my recommendations? No you will not. Why buy an app that will disappear? My other apps did not disappear. I still have them with the ios upgrade. Step up, SkySafari!!

Great app. It’s a great app, very helpful when trying to find each star and planet.

Stargazing made easy. Other apps are too complicated: this is more like a point and shoot with instant results - that’s why I rate it five star.

Having fun with the stars. Enjoying this app every night . Has open up a new adventure for me . Headed out right now .

Professional Sky-viewing tool. Several astronomy professionals including me use this app to search for night sky objects at a major observatory.

Great. It’s so simple to use just point your phone at any object in the sky and it will tell you what it is

Great iPhone app. The perfect companion to ID the stars and planets. The iPad doesn’t have the same level of gps location so everything is off by 30 degrees or so it seems.

Best Astronomy App (as of March 2018). I teach “Astronomy 101” at a university; this is the app I require for my class. I have tried half a dozen astronomy/star gazing apps and this app strikes the best balance between usability and information.

Excellent program to see the planets any night. Thanks from a very satisfied ‘searching student’.

Great. This is a great app. It shows you everything in the night sky. It is a must have for any astronomer or stargazer..

Missing key features shown in preview. I bought this app for the Observe and Scope features which are shown in the app preview screenshots but this version does not have these options, you have to purchase the higher up versions in order to access these 2 key features.

Amazing fantastic game for all ages and a good time to. This app is soooooooooo good it can show you all the constellations and all the planets and you can zoom in on all the different things I’m sure you will l❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ve this game

A Great Astronomical App!. The range of things that can be done is amazing. The app is intuitively organized which makes it very user friendly.

No miles option. Despite the manual saying you can view distance in miles, there is no option for that. Otherwise the app seems pretty great.

Music. An amazing update to this app, it’s worth trying it out for those stargazing fans.

Best Star Chart Map.. This app is awesome, the amount of information it gives you about each an every star is astonishing.

Love the app, but was forgotten. I’ve used SkySafari for years. After the last iOS update, the app stopped working with a message that required the seller to update the app. No way around this. So, out of frustration and need, I bought it again. Hopefully someone at SkySafari will see this.

Very accurate. I use the AP quite often. I love looking at the stars and planets, and I know exactly what I am looking at with this app.

It works well. I had another app I used but with an Iphone update it quite working. I wish I would have found this years ago.

A little disappointed. The app in the store shows the safari plus app for standard. I didn’t know there was a plus edition So I bought the standard thinking I was getting the features I wanted in plus Now I can’t upgrade to plus without buying the whole app again. It’s useless to me in the version I have. Debating weather to just buy plus. But annoyed to do so. I feel I wasted $3

Spectacular!. So much info and extraordinary live images of the universe!!! Gets better and better all the time. Thank u

Insufficient coverage. Overall impression is good to great, though I was expecting double star and variable star catalogs, but they are not there in basic version. No even list as well.

Star Viewing. Family and friends are amazed at how well the app recognizes planets and stars not known to them.

Stop sending sales reminder everyday.. Lately I have been getting a 50% sale reminder for safari pro and it’s getting annoying. How many in purchases do I have to buy to enjoy the basics I paid for before. I just deleted the app for the annoyance notifications.
