Hard to beat. This is simply a great app. Easy/intuitive to use. Everything you need. Points you right to whatever you ask it to find (planet, constellation, deep sky object). Go for it.

The BEST!. Easy to use, very informative and beautifully crafted! I use it for astro photography and education. Many apps are either too technical or oversimplified. This is the one with the best balance for me.

A must for any astronomer amateur or pro. I’ve had this app more than five years and I can’t recommend it enough. Easily locate planets, stars, constellations, and galaxies. Simple, clear elegant with easy to see info on distance, light years, and apparent plus actual luminosity. Worth the $$!!

Include GPS support. Awesome app. I use in the airplane where my iPad is connected to a WAAS enabled Bluetooth GPS receiver that knows my position within a few feet, and sends this info to the iPad or iPhone. Dev team, please get your app to use this info, it is a pain to enter LAT/LONG, especially when moving at 500 mph.

Great app. This app is very well done. I use it to all the time for astrophotography planning. It is very easy and convenient to use. My only request would be that they add more deep space objects but all the major targets are there. All and all good stuff.

I've learned so much from this app.. Easy to use very intuitive. It's with me by my side while observing. It's a good talking point with friends that are with me. No problem recommending this to others.

Great app. This thing will point out about everything up there I can’t go over board they might start charging for every thing it gives you

Anytime Anyplace. I travel to many places in the world and it is so enjoyable to find my way around the sky from different places on a clear night.

Great app! Camera AR would make it better.. So far I love the app and have used it to spot the NEOWISE comet. The only thing I can think of that would make the app better is camera AR. That way you could see exactly where the star, comet, etc. is in the sky.

Very entertaining. Great app!!! When I’m bored I jut pull out this app and see where stars and planets and galaxies are andI am really interested in space

Dependable. GoSkyWatch has been in my back pocket for years. I’ve built a temporal-spatial mental database of our little solar system and now enjoy chasing new constellations and guide stars through the urban haze. This is a must-have app.

Still the best. Others might be fancier, but this app is still the best I’ve used. Intuitive, no scammy ads, great time-control features.

Go sky watch is great!. I use this app all the time and love how it’s so easy. I’m always getting asked about it by others around watching me blurt out planet locations like I’m smart or something.

App appears to be abandoned. Privacy policy hasn't been updated since Apple required it starting last year. Developer replied about app not being updated because it doesn't need to be updated. They are apparently the worlds best software developers and have made the perfect software that wouldn't benefit from new features and is also completely bug free. They didn't address the lack of a privacy policy update. They could easily do that at least as a show of good will.

Awesome start app. I haven't used this app a ton but it is super intuitive and had great controls and settings. To won't regret getting it

Couldn’t be better. I’m an amateur astronomer with a really cool Celestron CPC 11 goto scope. The GOSKYWATCH app makes it so easy to find stars to align the telescopes computer to the celestial sphere. Once aligned we use the app to pick our stars, galaxies , planet and so on to observe. I dub this fantastic app “the amateur astronomers best friend”.

Love this for star-hopping. Use this app at my telescope. Like the ability to zoom and scroll to where I am looking, and find it really useful for star-hopping.

Best app I've used so far!!. I've downloaded like 5 of these apps and I've found this is the most useful one. I always use it when I go out with my telescope!

Amazeballs. I can’t tell you how awesome this is. It will enthrall the nerd in you, no matter how small it is. It will amaze friends, strangers, and children. Genuinely, I’ve never been happier with an app purchase in my whole life. No ads, just amazeballs.

Excellent app! I use it frequently... OK almost daily!. Has many features than most amateur astronomers would not want or need (e.g., traditional constellations from multiple cultures) but they do serve to foster a greater interest in stargazing among others. Back to mention my latest appreciation for GoSkyWatch: tracking NEOWISE! My biggest quibble with this: it lacks a “make the freakin clouds go away!!!” button. One of these nights I hope to finally be able to image Comet NEOWISE.

Stars app. It is a really cool app you can see every thing that we have discovered and you can see through the earth and it also shows north south and east yes I am a kid

Awesome easy to use app. 5 star easy to use. Locates everything I’m looking for except the international space station (hint hint developers) :-) Love the app. Fun and easy to use with the kids.

Educational. A great app where I couldn’t understand much where to locate the stars until this came along. It’s so much fun to learn the visual way in a third dimension view! The hardest to find was a dim North Star, now I know where it is! Go for the stars!

love the app but. ...every time i reset my phone (about once a year) its impossible to find the app to re-download it. Goskywatch is not categorized under stars, stargazing, star watching or even “sky”. So it always takes me 10 minutes to remember the un-memorable name of the app. Which apparently isnt searchable in the app store unless we all remember the apps name.

Enhance Your Night Sky Experiences. Having been fascinated with night sky observations forever, I find this the perfect companion app. If your interest is mythology and constellations, they’ve included a link to background info on each. Star magnitude, clusters, planets are all a setting and finger click away to enhance your night sky experience. Love this app!!

Love this App!!. I’ve been using this app for several years. The information gained is wonderful! Highly recommend it!

GeoSkyWatch. This app is totally outstanding when it comes to identifying celestial bodies in the solar system and beyond!! 45 years ago I was a navigator and a naval aviator flying patrol aircraft over water in the Pacific. We were well outside of radar range of land and depended solely on celestial navigation for position and speed information. In school we had to identify and locate 400 navigational stars. The grade was 4.0 or fail, you had to know every single one. As I do my daily walk before sunrise I still see many of the old friends and constellations shining brightly over the walk path. - Max Branscomb - - San Mateo, CA. -

It's amazing!. I've had this app for years. Hadn't used it in a while. It has been updated massively! It is now amazing!!! It's ridiculously easy to use. It's very cool. I haven't written a review in ages, but everyone should experience this. It's gorgous!

Love this app!!. I've used this app for years now! No problems with the iOS 10.3.2. I have shown nearly all my friends this app. Yea its a high dollar app! But for me to be able to set my telescope up and quickly go to what I want. That's amazing!! All the children I let look at it love it. When I get my telescope on the area they go WILD!!

Fun App. I downloaded this app and have been happy with it. Being a curios novice it fun to identify the different objects in the sky. It makes be look smarter than I am.

Never remembers north. Started off good, but having north always out of calibration kind of ruins the app for me. Even with a follow up from GoSoftWorks the app still disappoints. Thanks for your canned response. Hopefully that is enough to cover up other unhappy customers. I would hate for your reputation to be damaged by your poor product performance.

Almost perfect. This has great depth of information and the live tracking is simply amazing. The only flaw I’ve found is that it’s very modal. Once it’s tracking, it will no longer “go to” an object. It will only put arrows around it.

Super dank. Super dank astronomy app. Seriously, very well done here guys and gals. Great for beginners and experts alike with a fun user interface that allows you to view, identify and interact with what you are seeing in the skies above or take control of the global star map and give yourself an education amongst the vast wonders of the universe of stars! Superb ole chap... simply superb, I say!

Useful as all heck, but.... Please stop popping up tips and marketing crap when I launch the app. It's a paid app. Act like it. It would also be nice if it would remember the last Messier object I looked up so I don't have to keep looking it up. Leave me where I left off. And where's the NGC catalog already? Years later, still no expanded catalogs. Still-STILL years later and no expanded catalogs.

Amazing. This app has brought me and my kids a new outlook at the stars and planets that surround us... it has gotten us so interested that we recently bought a telescope!! And this app makes it star gazing a breeze, enjoyable and exciting!!

Re-engage the stellar teachings. This has been a tool for re-engaging the archaic relationship with the heavens in my life. Let’s know where we are in the universe. The patterns of the stars once guided the life of our species. Tapping into this field of knowledge is a revival of the life of the human soul.

I simply love this app.. This app is a joy to learn. It’s intuitive enough that I figured much of it out just by trying, and it did not seem like I had to struggle much. It’s well designed, very responsive, and has all kinds of useful information. On cloudy nights when the telescope isn’t an option I simply “virtually stargaze” with this app. For someone just starting out this is a perfect way to begin to learn about astronomy. I downloaded this app to help my family point a telescope at the night sky for the first time. After about an hour I was able to discover when and where the stars (and planets) rise and set, and I used this information to successfully point the telescope using a compass heading and degrees of inclination. Both the compass and the level (for degrees of inclination) are available on a smartphone. If you are at all curious about the cosmos, download this app!

Almost there.. This is almost perfect, but I do have some minor complaints. It occasionally freezes when I open the menu, and no moons are available, except for our own. It is still worth the download, however.

This App really turned me on to astronomy.. I love it. I play with the controls all the time, spin it through time, watch the constellations circle with the seasons and time of day, follow the Milky Way, learn a lot about the motions of the sky and Earth. And of course all that info about celestial bodies. Amazing filtering and modes. It's just fascinating and well worth the upgrade to track comets. Has a red light mode, but kinda impractical unless the whole device is in night mode using Apple accessibility dimming. Not practical in a Dark Sky park where only red lights are allowed after dark. I hold this up to the sky outside at home, and I'm fine. I wish the center ID hotspot was MOVEABLE -- that would be a huge UX improvement. I strain to rotate an ipad with screen rotation on trying to train things into the center for the audio and visual identification. I wish the user view was more configurable so I can rest this on a table as if I were looking up at the sky. And better saved settings. Love it.

Works well.. Has everything you need, nothing you don't.

GoSkyWatch (I apparently rated this sometime ago). Fantastic!!! Best program of its kind that I have found. The more I use it the more I discover things that it is capable of doing. (Like tracing out the sun Analemma as a function of time.) I input my own location with a high degree of accuracy and find extremely good accuracy in everything else that it calculates. I find the accuracy of the program to be Impressive. The display is very realistic as to the relative brightness of the stars and constellations, just the way you see them. I feel you are to be congratulated for creating such a versatile program. Being able to choose between ordinary time, the mean solar day or sidereal days is very useful. In fact, that is what allows you to see the Analemma traced out over the course of a year with a time function of your choosing with a simple flick of your finger.

Easy for even the clueless amateur I am. This is the best app for stars and star watching. It's full of different settings and Info. The newest upgrade wat impressive! It's great.

The most awesome stellar app. I have had this app for many years and until today I still believe is one of the most awesome apps, as not just feeds my passion about the cosmos . But as well allows me to share it with my kids and other Cosmic lovers friends

My favorite app. This is by far my favorite app on my phone. It has helped me to understand my place in the cosmos and how I am moving within it! The very best.

My side kick. Love this app. Been using it for years and have turned many others on to it as well. I use it to see what planets are visible, and to learn constellations and stars. I also dig the feature to move scroll through dates and times to see what will be visible on certain days and times. This app is my side kick.

Love this app!!. My go-to when I am trying to identify something or trying to find something

Best app out there. I use this app every time Head to the desert. Sitting by the campfire and looking at the stars, it never fails someone will ask what star is that? This app has them all and stunning photos of the stars, planets, and amazing galaxies.

Excellent App. Very well implemented and smooth. Has a ton of options for customization and shifting constellations future/past. I was afraid that the light from the phone would kill my night vision but the app has a night mode that is surprisingly dim.

This is an Excellent App!. This is an Excellent program helped me pick up major understanding in hours through AR rather than hundreds of hours through books

A perfectly good reason to get a smartphone. My original reason for my wife to upgrade to a smartphone was so she could get this app- she loves it, I enjoy it. One can instantly easily adjust a slider to change how many stars are displayed to match your weather or city light pollution conditions. This app is further perfected by the ability to pull up a star's info on wikipedia.

Excellent. Very fast, easy to use and excellent interface. Although the inclusion of moon phases and more info about objects would be fantastic. I hope to see this in future versions. But so far well done, a great bit of kit!

Sky watch app. This app is fantastic for the first time ever I saw saturn tonight through my telescope using this app to locate it! Extremely easy to use just point and shoot

With 4.2 this app is pressive. The program is a little skittish and some damping would be great when selecting an object to "look at". A magic way of identifying many objects. Targeting is a little off but this appears to be a GPS issue. Apart from the above it is a must have for a learner like me.

Useful aid to astronomy. I use this app with my telescope to find observation targets- the brightness adjuster is very useful for this. It would be nice to have an option to display the current right ascension and declination of a target for hep calibrating an Equatorial mount, but otherwise a bug-free, informative, well-designed app

Spot on. Clear display, does what it says, easy to use yet highly informative. Doesn't name an object until the "sight" is placed over it which leaves the screen uncluttered.

Goskywatch review. A amazingly good app naming all constellations star names ect. Very fun to use interpreting the tilt function of the iPod, iPhone, iPad Overall a worthwhile app I would definitely recommend purchasing this app.

Mr.. When I look for a DSO the app scouts around the sky to find it & it's sometimes confusing where this position actually is. I have an iPod Touch & therefore no compass! If I skim to the direction marker I lose the object. What'd be nice is telescope control like SkyVoyager but that's probably another whole story to implement. My favourite object of late NGC 6744 dosen't appear to be listed - but these are minor gripes in a great little app.

Sir john maxwell Stonham. The music is simply wonderful, you will find many kinds of music for every mood, both of Which you know and that you may never listened to before, local, National, from many Country's around the world, you may be thinking of the words and not know the title. This is where you can put it all together. I commend this.

Go sky watch. Fantastic idea. I have learnt more with this app than any other book or computer program. So intuitive and user friendly. Definitely better on the iPad than the phone. Larger screen makes life much easier.

Fantastic!. Wonderful app! As easy to use as they say. Just as pretty and meaningful as expected. Would love to see orbit data like ISS and HST. Tilt navigation is a little diddly, but I am getting used to it. :) Worth every dollar!

Look into the universe. I've only just bought this app and I do enjoy it  It's visuals are crystal clear and it gives you what the planet, star or galaxy is called along with the zodiac signs and other symbolic groups of stars. I'd definitely recommend buying this. 

Very happy. Took a short while to get the hang of it but after that I couldn't shut it down. I'm starting to look at the night sky in a whole different light now that I'm learning my way around it.

One of the oldest and best iPhone sky-watching apps. I bought GoSkyWatch Planetarium at the very beginning, when it was over $25, and I never regretted the purchase. The controls are simple and effective, allowing any user to pick it up and figure out how to drive it within moments. It's a constant companion whenever I look up at the night sky - which is every chance I get!

Snappy and easy to use. GoSkyWatch Planetarium seems to work quite well on the iPhone. It is responsive and quite easy to use. There are a few minor gripes that I have - for starters, since when is the "Sun" a planet. I think it would be more appropriate if the Sun and the other planets were classified as "Solar System" objects rather than under "Planet". Secondly, what's happened to the moon - it is a fairly prominent naked-eye object but it doesn't appear in the maps? i.e. there does not appear to be any option to view the moon or its phases.

Great please take my money. This is just great, one of the few Astronomy apps to offer a full 180 deg whole sky view on zoom out, which I personally find the most useful. I bought this over a decade ago and still use it. I would like to send you more money in fact as I feel bad for getting so much out of a single purchase. Please implement an in app purchase so I can tip!

Amazing detail. This application is extremely easy to use. The raw data provided on both stars and deep sky objects is staggering. The ability to simulate the passage of time is also an excellent feature.

Skywatchers. This app is really great. I am not really familiar with all the star constellations so this really makes looking at the universe and night sky quite fabulous. Definitely worth getting! Five stars (pardon the pun) from me.

Osama. Fantastic program. All the basic informations and more, and I love what I call the time machine. You can go back into history or go into the future . I can not praise it enough well done. And yes i have been responsible for over 15 downloads from family and friends through recommondations

Tried almost everything and this is the best one. I had tried almost every single skywatching apps and this is the best one ever. Recommended to many friends already.

Cool app. I'm new to star gazing and have tried a few apps to help me understand what i'm looking at in the sky. This is by far the most superior app, it's simple and easy to understand with a "point and shoot" interface. It provides good detail on every cosmic object in the skye visible to the eye. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a solid star gazing app.

simple suggestions for the next version. a responsive program, but could be improved. In the southern hemisphere, the moon appears upside down. The direction setting defaults to north in the northern hemisphere, and south in the southern hemisphere. But it is not clear how to get it to initially face west before you start using the accelerometer. And also call crux the southern cross (why not have both choices), for pete's sake.

Amazing!!. This is such a brilliant app to have! Most of the time I don't even need a telescope. Even if I'm using one, this app makes it so easy to spot what I'm trying to find! Definitely worth every penny!!

Go sky watch. This is a great app, easy to use, informative and educational. I have recommend it to many people and all have thanked me for the reference. Cheap @ twice the price.

Love this app. I think I've tried all the stargazing apps and this is the best so far. I've used this to set up telescopes but it would be great if the north and south celestial point could be embedded as a quick reference. It's the only negative to this great app. Thanks

Absolutely brilliant. This app keeps me entertained and educated for the last few weeks, I turn it on every night when stars are visible. Telescope is a waste of money comparing to this app

Unreal. I don't usually write reviews but this one deserves one. This app is unbelievable how detailed it is. It can have you intrigued for hours. I consider myself a novice to intermediate stargazer as I've only been serious about it for a year or two but all the info you want is so easy to get. Night mode helps preserve my night vision and I can find out stuff with one hand. It is actually so cool now covet my iPhone and I feel like a kid again with a secret device that can do anything. Seriously, cool is all I can say. Best app I ever seen. Even my wife who doesn't care for astronomy was blown away and saying "Wow!!!". So glad I took a chance on this one!

Use it with your kids. Take it outside at night, with your kids, and teach them the wonders of the night sky!

Potentially fab. Love the detail, and all the features HOWEVER i often have a difficult time syncing it to my local coordinates... can be off by many degrees.....

This app is awesome.. Poitioning can be a little off but using the moon as reference you can adjust how you hold the phone to make everything line up

Go sky watch. Very good app

Go Sky Planetarium. An excellent programme. I used the digital compass setting and identified Mars and Saturn easily. I had a problem with time zones and emailed support and had the correct answer the same day.

Top of the lot. Out of the 15 astronomy programs available, this app offers a streamlined user friendly interface with instinctual controls. The depth of material it covers it's fantastic, incorporating all the best features of astronomy programs into one. The red light mode is a great option which only one other app current has, when your out doing night viewing very handy

Night Navigation Awareness. As a Training & Checking Captain I try to inspire flight crew to seek excellence in their flying & navigating. GoSkyWatch has enabled me to help pilots use the sky at night to assist with orientation an confirmation that their navigation is going as planned. We can learn so much from nature.

Great for kids. My kids and I got a big thrill out of this app. Point to the sky and learn. Good clean cheap fun! Still learning about it, but very good even at a basic level

It's ok for most uses but…. …it becomes a bit antiquated, since there are not many changes coming through. It's also not clear how I can change the view. I'm somehow stuck on the "circular view", which I must've triggered somehow, and I can't fathom how to change it back. It'd be nice if the app could consider local weather so that it'd better tell me what I see and what not.

Something is very wrong. I’m wondering why I see the sun showing on the app as if it has just gone down past the horizon in the west, while simultaneously watching it rise in the east with my own eyes? Broken

Best planetarium app regardless of expertise. This is my favourite planetarium app by far. Easy to use, and the “find an object” and Wikipedia links are 2 of the many great features. A complete novice can master it in minutes and make you an expert of the night sky. Dr Ken W. Convenor Maleny Observatory Queensland Australia

Perfect. GSW was one of the first apps that I bought back in 2008 and is the only sky program I have. What else can I say? It's always been great and keeps getting better with every little update!

Underwhelmed. I'm amazed this has such overwhelmingly positive views. I bought the app a long time ago, and thought it was okay, but IMO there are much better astronomy apps on the App Store, including SkySafari 3 and Sky Walk. Stellarium would be another option, although I've not tried it for iPad (only iPod Touch and Mac). I can just see a lot of people paying the money for this app based on all the 5 star reviews, and not realizing there are better and sometimes cheaper alternatives. This is looking very outdated. The graphics are heavily pixelated when you zoom in, and the way of selecting points of interest, by sliding them into the circle, rather than just touching them, is awkward.

GoSkyWatch. The one feature that I really like is the ability to vary the magnitude from eye sight to telescope. Second would be the red light feature. One feature that I would like is to be able to change the sensitivity to finger or iPad movement?

Lifebeyond. I down loaded this app years ago. I still use it. Love it!

Very Impressive!! A great purchase!!. This app is great when you're outside and looking in the sky. Gives great info and is responsive and surprisingly accurate. Easy to use with a slick interface. Fantastic.

Watch the universe in bliss!. Every time I use this app while star gazing I find myself staring at the night sky for hours... Ive just come inside from watching for 2 & a half hrs... & only because the sun rose! An amazing app, easy to use as well as informative! LOVE!!!

Seems broken. For some reason, what was my favourite app, one of the first I installed when I got my first iPhone, is now broken - only shows a target an what might be the constellation I'm point it at. What the blazes has happened?

Astronomy comes alive.. So much better than it's free app counterparts. Beautiful to look at. Easy to use. Very intuitive. Great educational tool - so much to learn about the night sky. Fabulous.

Night sky revealed. An educational app. Very versatile settings. Easy to use and VERY accurate with the pin pointing of objects. I'm now able to easily point out night sky objects I had always heard about. Thank you to the makers for an excellent effort.

Best simple star gazing app ever!. It must be over 8 years since I downloaded this app, and this is still my favourite. I love the way the constellations are overlaid over the stars, and the info I can pull up is great.

Great app. Love this app. Works really well on the iPhone 4. Just point it at the sky and it instantly shows you what is there. Fantastic resource for any one with a fascination for the sky.

Lucky from Australia. Accurate: 100% I just started using it getting use to it, but WOW!! I highly recommend this for us Aussies and everyone else!!!!! Thanks for making this App!

One of those apps you need to have. This app just takes the iPhone to another level. I have always been interested in astronomy but until now it was a little difficult to know what you were looking at - problem solved

Clear skies. This app is super to find new stars or confirm the heavenly bodies you think you know. I have shown this app to many people at work who have gone and downloaded for themselves.

Gateway to the stars. Great stargazing app for identifying constellations, planets & more. Easy & fun to use. Perfect for the backyard or around a campfire.

This is a great program!. Whether you are new to astronomy or a seasoned stargazer, this app provides you with all the most useful tools and information you need when out there under the great vault of the heavens. The tools are very intuitive and user friendly, the graphics are clear and precise, which is a wonderful feature that is often overlooked in other astronomy apps. My only wish for this program would be the ability to see the moons when you click on the planets. I feel sure that this will come soon because I feel that the creators of this app have thought out everything else very well indeed! It is well worth the very small price asked for this program!

Mouvement. Plus capable d’avoir le mouvement avec le déplacement de mon cellulaire ????

Stellar. Cosmic beings

Great app!. Amazing

Just amazing!. One of my favs..very easy to navigate within the app

Great app very educational. Really enjoyed learning astronomy

Best astronomy app ever. Despite it's silly name it remains the best astronomy app ever. Kudos to the developers.

Wonderful!. Simply put; this is an amazing app. It works so well and there seems to always be another fun feature just waiting to be found. Highly recommended.

Great App. Great application. Good choice.

About the Universe. How big is the Universe?

Perfect. This app makes me want to stand outside in -15 C weather. Well done

Great app. Really enjoy this app. Has tons of features.

Cool tool for a fool. I find this app a great tool to reach my kids and find stars and planets for my interests. My dad says it's cheating.

Blown away!. I've only had it for a day, but so far the experience has been very satisfying. The interface is beautiful to look at, fairly intuitive and efficient. I love having such rich content at my fingertips... Now I can't wait to get an iPad to see even more! Great app!!

Pilot. Outstanding app. Data is easy to find and understand. IF possible it would be great to amplify the SUN page to include Beginning & End of Civil/ Nautical/ Astronomical Twilights? i.e. BCT & ECT, etc. Cheers!

Junk. Doesn’t work. Got this just to find comet neowise. It could not even find the 4 compass points. Pisses me off that I’m ripped off now.

GoSkyWatch Planetarium. Je suis astronome amateur. Je fais de photos du ciel profond et des planètes avec un télescope et une caméra CCD. Je cherchais une application sur mon iPod Touch qui me permettrait de planifier mes soirées d'astronomie (visibilité de l'objet à mon endroit d'observation, sa localisation dans le ciel, l'information complète sur l'objet ...) ainsi qu'une utilisation sur le site d'observation (affichage en couleur rouge pour ne pas altérer la sensibilité de l'oeil dans le noir). Cette application est vraiment fonctionnelle et très facile d'utilisation. Elle permet de très bien visualisé la position de l'objet à photographier à l'heure précis d'observation (Nord, Sud, Est, Ouest, près du Zénith ou de l'horizon ...). Elle affiche aussi une image de l'objet. Le seul point faible que je lui trouve est qu'elle contient seulement 219 objets du ciel profond (110 objets du catalogue Messier et 109 du catalogue Caldwell).

Great App. Totally worth the 5.99 very accurate up here in Vancouver and fun to play with the many options.

Manitoba. Awesome

Fish pond. Excellent app. Realistic and entertaining.

Great. The app is really comprehensive, easy to use and intuitive.

Amazing. Amazing apps very useful!

Goskywatch. Needs a legend to explain what some of the info means

Starships. Fun to use and watching my work.

Everything you want. The perfect app for amateur and serious stargazers. Intuitive and quick to learn. The quick link to Wikipedia to get more detail on major objects is ingenius, and using the accelerometer is like having labels in the sky as you move about. I only wish at my age I could adjust the font size a bit larger. A SUPER BUY! Without a doubt the best stargazing app ever.

Works well for this amateur. Having used this app both in city with lots of light pollution and at cottage with very little light pollution we are hooked on viewing the night sky and this app has been almost perfect. The red night view and green reference view work perfectly. Would like to see star and planet labels even larger as that is the only drawback that I can think of right now.

Best Night Sky App I’ve Come Across. I love this app. I recommend it to anyone and everyone with an iOS device.

Endless enjoyment. I have had this app for years and it has been an endless source of fun.

Bloody awful. No matter what we did on our iPhone 5 the real stars and moon were way off from the screen. Just gave up. Sad for such an otherwise nice app

Great app to learn about astronomy. Easy to use, works great.

Beautiful App. Great app that works great to teach you about the night sky. App has worked well for years and is well worth supporting. Likely my favourite app of all time.

Nice inaccurate app.. Very nice app but it's seriously inaccurate on location and aiming.

Still the flying penis logo. I know its fun to draw dicks everywhere but how much would it cost you guys to change the logo? I would gladly share the app with friends and family if you change it. Gee I wish mine was flying!

Stellar!. This astronomy app is simply superb. There's nothing better than sitting outside on a clear night with my two children looking at the sky identifying planets and stars with ease. Especially on a cold Canadian night when setting up the telescope is not feasible. With GoSoftWorks being a Canadian developer it made my decision in buying this inexpensive app that much easier. The promise of future free updates/upgrades for original purchasers is also a nice touch. For a future update I would like to see the inclusion of meteor showers and named comet identifications. I purchased GoSatWatch as well and is equally great. Nice work!

2 thumbs up. This app is very awesome. The night sky is even more amazing!

Best app. This is best app ever

iTunes. I love iTunes, it's so convenient, songs download very quickly 😄

Simply the best. It is the best app on my phone. And now that I have the iPhone 4 with compass it works even better. I don't need to carry my star charts anymore

Would recommend to a friend!. This app provides you with accurate and reliable information about the placement of stars and constellations, as well as good visuals of the pictures of selected objects. A pro about this app is that it is very easy and self explanatory to use. A con about this app is that this version costs $5.59 to purchase so it is not an inexpensive app to buy. However, this app is very good for the money you are paying. I would recommend this app to a friend if they were looking for a good star identification app.

Impressionnnant!!!!. Si javais eu cet outil pendant toute ces nuits de jeunesse ou jai admiré ces etoiles... Je serais un peu plus connaissant de lunivers!

Awesome educational and entertainment app!. Easy to use all over the world! Just connect to wi-fi to calibrate and locate

The best tool for showing others the great things in the night sky. Best astronomy app. And it's of course Canadian!!!!!!!

Primary Source for today's sky. I always use this app to see what's happening up there!

Friendly, helpful and accurate. I really like it. Help me to figure out where to find the Quadrantids meteor shower super fast in the middle of a very harsh winter morning, and my daughter and I could just place our chairs, cover ourselves with a thick blanket and enjoy the show. Also shows us all the planets, stars and galaxies around.

Good. Very interesting program and worth the money

Great potential, terrible stability. I bought this app to compare with Starmap. It has a beautiful interface, and the smoothest, most polished animation I've seen on an iPhone app. The app also makes the best use of the accelerometer, giving you portrait and landscape modes and every angle in between. However, there are two big downsides. The first is the lack of any deep sky objects in the database. The second downside is that the app is totally unstable, crashing within moments no matter what I tried doing: finding my location, looking up a star or planet, changing an option... In moments each session the app would crash. Luckily, those two big problems are solvable. Minor issues surround the implementation of Night Mode, where menus still appear in full white-light brightness, and the lack of differentiation in lookup lists to show what objects in the list are currently visible and what are not - a great timesaver when trying to bring people's attention to objects in real-time. I think the app shows great potential, and I'll likely keep both this one and Starmap on my iphone, but for now only Starmap is on the reliable list.

Never fails. I have been using this app for years and it works every time! Accurate, consistent, fun and informative. It is the best one I have found for stargazing. It works on an old iPhone 6 as well as an iPad 9th gen.

Cool app. Really cool app, a little inaccurate on the aiming, but I don't expect much living in Atlantic Canada...

Awesome and so fun!. I frequently use this and goisswatch. Dependable app. We have learned quite a bit. Definitely fun!

Great resource!. Easy to use, clear, concise!

Absolutely amazing!. Let’s me know my place in God’s awesome universe. This app allows me to explore His creation like nothing else!

Freakin awesome. Very easy to use Highly recommend

Fantastic. This is the perfect app for late night star watching

Outstanding. Wonderful tool for everyone that skywatches the heavens.!!!!!

Neat. I think that it’s really neat and fun but unfortunately doesn’t work very well on an iPad.

Excellent app. The best app in using the gyroscope in the iPhone. Have been using it for years now.

Great App. Use it with my GoTo to find objects to observe...what an assistant.

After many years. I am no longer able to see the planets option. Everything else works

Loved the app. In the northen hemisphere the app works great. In Southern it has no clue of the constellations. Very disappointed:(

Star names. I like that the app includes Arabic star names. They are so lovely and poetic.

Random crashes. Problems with both phone and iPad. Looks like it is not being tested with latest iOS updates

Old version much better. Says wrong location at top of ap, I went here 3 years ago. I used to be able to point at bright stars and find the planets. Calibration seems off .

Awesome star watching. This is a great app and you can map the constellations on a clear night!! Love it

Great app. This is a great app for photographers who want to know where the stars are in the sky from your location.

The kids love it. Great app. We use it on camping trips and backyard evenings with the kids. Love all the features. Great way to learn about the stars!

Looking up. Go Sky Watch on Ipad fun to use

Love it!. No need to wonder what is above your head in space, now you know.

Personal Star Guide. Amazing app for looking at the stars and learning about planets

Scott. Great app. Don’t know much about star watching. This app really helps.

BEST THING EVER!. I have Go Skywatch on all my devices…doesn’t everyone?

One star. Has nothing to do with the quality of this app, which I suspect may be quite good, but only reflects the incessant nagging for a review since before I even got a chance to use it. Hopefully it will get them off my back for now until I can give a more honest review.

Pay money. Get an app that doesn’t always work with iPhone gyro. Also navigation is non-intuitive—really bad UI design. Don’t spend your money on this.

Wonderful app. I love keeping track of the planets and constellations and this app makes it easy to do so

Must get. This app is just incredible

Inaccurate. Get SkyView Lite instead. This app points in the entirely wrong direction. The compass is off and the horizon is reversed somehow. I’ve now gone through app updates and iOS updates and no changes. The iPhone Compass app is correct as are all other navigation apps and SkyView Lite. THIS APP DOESN’T WORK!

Night sky.. Pretty awesome to be able to point my phone and be informed about night sky phenomena. Thanks for a great app.

The best!. Want to know what star or planet that is, this app will tell you!

Sleep over hit!!!. This app entertained and educated a group of 8 year old boys for hours!! Took their minds off of the coyotes howling in the distance too!!

Love this app telling me what I’m seeing in the night sky. Excellent for stargazers

Astronomy made easy. It is so easy to use, to find stars, to identify planets, it is wonderful.

This AP is Great!!!. Best app I have ever owned! I have had it fo years and love it whenever I am outside and not working.

Dave O.. It really helps me find the best places to look for the desired objects.

Astronomy buff. Love what you do👏👏👏👏— you make it possible for me to look forward to splendid star-gazing nights!! thank you!!🥰🥰🥰

GoSkyWatch. Simply the best app for identifying stars planets etc easily.

Poor ease of use. Poor ease of use. Doesn’t easily update location

Great app!. Love this app. Great way to learn about our galaxy.

Best sky app ever!!!. My go to sky app!!!!

Just really great. This is just one of those apps that’s not expensive and is priceless

Beautiful Stars. Loving all the knowledge packed into this app. It is wonderful to sit and enjoy all the different Constellations and Clusters etc. I recommend this to all stargazers.

Amazing. This app is the best for answering the question: what star is that. It's great for first dates too!

Voice identity. Be nice in addition to planets, voice identity be used on other major celestials. Maybe eventual constellation an features of the region of the sky ur now looking at !!!!

Great Sky with GoSky. Great application for your phone. Worth every dime!

Don’t use iTunes. Found it to be frustrating to transfer files from iPhone to Mac

Great. As a space exploration nut, I highly recommend this App!

Looking for Gemini. I’m looking for the meteor shower that is happening now. The meteor’s are in the direction of Gemini Constellation. Thus, thi star watch program is helping!

Nice app. Very easy easy to use for a 70 yr old like me.

Love It!. This is a great app that I use for personal use and teaching. The graphics are a big bonus too

Best star app. Adjusts easily to see planets/ stars at different times & intensities
