Learned so much more!!. I have collected countless books and have had a forever interest in astronomy. Having this app as long as I have, I’ve learned and retained the information I’ve looked at. The music that plays while star gazing is tranquil and beautiful. Even my sons have grown to love looking at the night sky when in the dark expanse of open land at night. My youngest was so excited when he found his favorite animal, not ever realizing there’s a constellation of the giraffe. I tell anyone who is looking for a great app to star gaze with.

I love this app. This is probably my favorite app to use, and maybe the only one on my phone that elicits a ‘wow that’s cool’ response to everyone I show it to. Why anyone wouldn’t have this on their phone is beyond me. You just open it up, point it at the star/planet/object you’re looking at, and it identifies it for you. That’s it. Shows what’s below the horizon too, aka what may be visible in a few hours. I’ve had this app for years and it’s never crashed or failed to open. For my needs it’s perfect. I recommend this to literally everyone who’s blessed with vision and has even the slightest curiosity regarding what’s in the sky.

Crazy Fun. I have had more fun with this app than I can say, and I’m a mom with grown kids. Found out about this app while at the beach. Still enjoying it at home. Night vision filter is helpful. I’ve found Space Station, planets, stars and even space junk aka rocket bodies. Don’t care for sound track. Wish I could set my own. Highly recommend to everyone. My 20 year old wishes he had this as a help to get through his high school astronomy class. GET this app! You won’t be disappointed.

It showed me a UFO in my sky!. One night after manually calibrating it to point to the moon in the sky, I then noticed a bright object that was not a part of the constellation nor star map of the sky. I then disabled the camera on my device to verify that what I was seeing was really a UFO and not a star. Disabling the camera enables you to see only objects with known pre-described orbits, such as the Sun, Moon, Planets, Stars and constellations, and known space objects like the International Space Station and other satellites, but not nearby artificial objects in the sky. So, when I disabled my IPAD’s camera, I saw only the natural faraway objects. But when I turned the camera back on, there is this bright rounded light up in the sky, at coordinates that puts it smack right over the sky of my city. I experimented with the camera being off and then on multiple times, just to make sure that the object proved to be artificial, and that it were not part of the natural sky objects that I saw every other night. Sure enough, the next night when I checked again, it had vanished.

Recommend it highly!. Use it often. Love it and already recommended it to many people. Great app. Would LOVE to see a few changes, enhancements, such as ability to better see MY VUEW, that is, sort of bring my perspective into focus and filter OUT the stuff I cannot see. This would help me learn MY SKY and I could then go deeper from there. Since I see nearly EVERYTHING through the App view, I often have difficulty pinpointing the name of EXACTLY which star, comet, satellite I am actually observing with my little eye. I want to know what THAT LIGHT I SEE is, so I can think on what I am looking at more fully. Sometimes I cannot be sure, since once the app screen comes on, we’ll, some further away lights become brighter than the one Zi am actually looking at without looking through the app viewer. WHEW!!!! Hard to explain. THANKS!!

My favorite app!. I love this app! Just point your camera at an object, and it tells you what it is. Search for a specific object, and it points you to it, even if it’s not actually in view. You can see what the sky looks like from the other side of the world, if you want to. You can see what’s in space, even if it’s cloudy…even from indoors, if you want. Great for learning the stars and constellations! Just be sure not to use a case for your phone that has a magnet. Magnets, even weak ones, interfere with your phone’s compass and orientation sensors. I had to take my phone out of the case with the magnetic latch. It’s very accurate now. My new, non-magnetic phone case is on the way!

Desperately needs to be updated... While I used to love this app, and have an avid sky watcher to be, it hasn’t been updated in at least a year. There had been problems getting it to calibrate. I always had to do it manually, which is fine, but difficult when you don’t know which way you are facing and don’t have any obvious points to calibrate to. Now, it is just plain stuck. It doesn’t move at all, and all I can see is Draco at due north on the horizon, no matter where I am pointing. I have written the app help people and not heard back. It is disappointing. My daughter used to love this app, which was why I paid for the upgrade, but, unless they update it soon, I would not recommend this app for anyone. It will only frustrate you.

No longer calibrates. I’ve used the paid version of Skyview for several years and have absolutely loved it. I’ve enjoyed many nights of wonderful sky watching using this app. However, suddenly the calibration no longer works. When I open the app it defaults to the horizon line at exactly north. It’s stuck there and I can do nothing g to resolve this. Auto/Manual calibration does not work. The figure 8 calibration does nothing. Yes, I have an older iPhone 6s Plus. But it has always worked just fine until now. Is this app no longer supported for the iPhone 6s Plus? If so, I had heard nothing indicating that that was the case. Please help!

You can't go wrong here. This app is one of the best I've ever downloaded. It's both educational, and soothing. The background planetarium-like music sets the vibe, and the knowledge the app hits you with is a slap in the face with good, solid, sky-based info. You'll quickly learn what rides across your horizon with this thing. It will give you a warm feeling as you learn the planets and the constellations that rule your sky at night. And it that isn't enough.... it tells you where the major satellites are! Be the envy of your friends as you rattle off where the hubble, or the space station resides as you rally 'round the campfire.

Not calibrated. Overall I like this app. It is easy to use. You look at the sky you put the circle on the star you want and it tells you what it is. The only thing bad at this point is two days ago the calibration doesn’t work. So when I came to Circle at the sky, the planet from my perspective is about a foot off to the left. I use the manual calibration tool, but when you use it you can’t see the name of the planet and you can’t make it stay on the planet. I do not see any way to get a hold a Overall I like this app. It is easy to use. You look at the sky you put the circle on the star you want and it tells you what it is.

Im searching for a clue on the Internet to fix it I find other people have had this problem also. If you can fix the calibration I would certainly give it a five star.

Easy to Use, Lots of Info. It would be great to see updates to the content along with the tweaks to work with changing iOS Versions. Those are important, of course, but so is having current information about the satellites and other space craft in near-earth orbits and beyond. Information about HST is at least 6 years old, and the JWT has settled into its spot now. Doesn’t take away from the positives in the app, but current info is important.

Astronomer/Astrologer’s Best Friend!. 10 STARS!!!! This is one of the most incredible and incredibly simple pieces of technology I’ve ever found!! Hours of entertaining knowledge and fun. Entertain friends or yourself, this tool will keep you busy all night(or day, if you’re bored.) You will be amazed at all of the stuff in the sky!! Stars, of course!!! Planets, rocket bodies, constellations, everything out there!!! Mad props to the makers of this app!! They did it! To use it is as simple as pointing your phone to the sky and reading your screen. Push a planet or a star and info pops up. Give yourself plenty of room to use. It is an acrobatic app once you get into it! Perhaps a VR versions is in the works so you can look hands free. It shows you what’s in the sky where you point it!! 360°, no obstacles. Just the sky on the screen. No wonder it’s called SkyView. A must get!!

Tracked the ISS (International space station). Because of the app, I got to track the ISS (International space station) which flew right over my house. That’s thing if FAST! I am 56 years old and have never seen anything like that before. I found it quite amazing and thrilling. All thanks to this wonderful app that was correct with times and placement. I have used this on my iPad & iPhone. I originally downloaded it to figure out where the consultations were and it is great for finding those. My favorite of course is Orion. I get to see all the constellations from the horoscopes and what time of year they will be visible. This app will even show you all the space junk floating around in space and the names of them. I never knew there were so many Russian made and launched satellites up there floating around until I got this app. It’s truly a wonderful app and I have and am currently thoroughly enjoying it.

Amazing App! One suggestion. I really fell in love with SkyView. It makes it so easy to learn about what I'm looking at in the night sky. There's one thing I think could make the app even better: Currently the only way to look at a specific object in the sky through the app is to point and orient your device so it is facing that object, like the camera. But sometimes I would like to search around the sky without waving my phone in crazy directions, like if I'm lying in bed and want to pan over to what's under the horizon. I think it would be great to add a feature that lets you pan across the sky without needing to move your phone, so it is not oriented by the gyroscope. The view can stay at a constant zoom level, but being able to learn the stars without having to always point in that direction would be tremendously more convenient. This could be an option that you can switch on or off to keep the integrity of the original application as well. Please consider. Thanks for a wonderful contribution to the world!

Stands the rest of time. I first downloaded this app about 10 years ago when the App Store was still just a few years old and apps that were actually good quality and genuinely useful were hard to come by. 10 years later and I still regularly revisit this app whenever I look up at the night sky and think to myself, I wonder if that twinkling “star” is Mars or Jupiter. 10 years later and I’m still in awe every time I line up my phone with the object in the sky and see that it accurately found and identified the object I was looking at. Truly one of the best apps available in the App Store.

The best app I’ve ever purchased. This app is fantastic. Everything about it is marvelous I always used to appreciate the sky but this made my love for it grow tremendously. I can now locate which planets are which and the bits and pieces of the constellations in the sky when before the app I would only erroneously guess. The app has two modes. One where you download it for free and the other where you pay something like 1.99. Both versions are fantastic. But if you are willing to put some money into this it’s even better. The sky is the TV of the universe (with God as it’s broadcaster) and it’s important that we pay attention to it. Psalm 19:1 “The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.”

SkyView. I've had this application for well over a year now, I find it very interesting to use and have shown it to my four-year-old granddaughter who is infatuated by it. I have even shown it to my former spouse since he does have a telescope, don't know if he's actually used it yet to find the constellations, planets and trajectory objects that show up in there also. I am simply amazed at how full our sky is of what we have put up there and left over. You should all take a look this is an amazing app!

UPDATE AND/OR FIX THIS BROKEN APP. I initially was okay with spending a couple bucks on this app because i was excited to be able to scan around and see the stars real time wherever I was. It seemed to work just fine for a while, functioning just like it said but now the app doesn't scan anything- it just stays frozen in one place, not viewing any skies. I've tried adjusting, readjusting, waiting for updates and it's been "broken" for what seems like several months now. At this point this app is a scam for a couple bucks as it doesn't function for any star gazing at all anymore. I really hope the developers can see and fix this issue because i'd love to be able to use this app again!

Loose yourself in the wonder of the cosmos. I don’t know if I’m an amateur astronomer or what you would call it I am just fascinated with the wonders of the night sky. I heard about this app on a field trip with my daughters school and thought why not give it a try? Amazing and mind blowing are the first two words that come to mind. If you love to learn new things and have even a small interest in what goes on over our head as the world turns then definitely download this app(you will most certainly appreciate it ) and hold your phone up high to take a look at the night sky it is not falling it’s always there and anyone can see it from any where AMAZING

Excellent, straightforward sky map. Now this is exactly what I wanted in a “sky map” type app. Doesn’t come after you for a subscription you don’t need like a cousin with a bad habit. The UI is consistent and straightforward, and does not obscure the view at all in landscape orientation. Offers a good amount of information. I like it a lot. I tried out the lite version first, and was happy to pay once for the full version because it’s exactly what I needed. Thanks for making this app

Relaxing and Soothing Stargazing made easy!!!. I love love love the ambient music, it's gentle and quiet enough to enhance the gazing experience. Focus on the constellation or hone in on each star of each constellation and see their trajectory time line. Are used to stargaze as a child and even now as an adult I'm always looking at the sky. I'm staying at my parents house and decided to give this app a try. It's so crazy seeing all your familiar stars and finding out what constellation they belong to. Using SkyView it feels like enhancing my good childhood memories and opening them up to a whole other level to explore <3 .*•.*•*.

The Best Out There!. This is the best app I’ve ever used relating to looking up at the night sky! What a way to study the universe. To be able to look up, point and Wala all the knowledge you'd ever want relating to the SolarSystem, constellations, galaxies planets, nebulas, etc. just right at your fingertips. Get this, if you don’t know where it is that you’re looking for this app will even point you right to it, not only that it will show you the time it hits horizon, a outline of the path it’s following, where it is any time day or night, just unbelievable. People today have this knowledge right at their fingertips. In my day we had to go to a Library or open up a encyclopedia find a book, open the book, find the section and read about it, also the knowledge was limited. This modern knowledge to be right at your fingertips is just unbelievable.

Common Names Please. As for naming the constellations, I am accustomed to “Big Dipper,” and “Little Dipper.” The constellation overlay gets pretty confusing when I see the outline of a little bear where I am expecting to see dipper, which is presented in the sky. This is a five-star app for identifying celestial bodies, but the presentation overlays of the celestial icons gets confusing when trying to identify objects within my local night sky. I am a true amateur at identifying the celestial bodies. My primary objective is to identify a particular bright “star” and get the info about it, and this app is excellent at this.

Pay $1.99 but it was worth it!. So yesterday at night I wanted to find mars because that will be day until mars shows up again to its closest in 265 years which I’ll be dead by then. So I didn’t have a telescope so I remember that my teachers had this app and they said it’s really good to see planets and stars, so I bought it and I tried it out and we checked a star that was red with the SkyView app and... It was Mars!!!! That red little star in the sky was mars! We also saw other planets too like Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune but you can’t see it with the naked eye but the app detected it and right beside Neptune was the moon! Except the moon was closer. We didn’t see the moon because the trees were covering it. Thank you for this app! Others who see this must get this app! It’s worth it! it even works in day time too!

Fun and inspirational. My family Has had this app for a number of years and it never gets old. We are always amazed by the ease in which we can explore and ponder the universe. While many are so predisposed to languish on their phone by doing email and Facebook, take a moment and use this app to see this magnificent universe the envelops and surrounds us. Amazingly our ancestors know much more about the universe then us because they took time to challenge their brains and imagine the wonders of the world.

Cosmic Binoculars. An fantastic amazing app. Especially for young children. After learning about the planets, my daughter was dismayed that they weren’t lighting up the sky at night in real life. She felt better after I pointed out Mars, Jupiter & Saturn (or as she also knows them as Nergal, Marduk & Ninurta) with the naked eye. But this app brought it to another level. She understands the planets are far away and that this app is like a pair of cosmic binoculars. Her only disappointment now is not being able to see the dwarf planets Ceres, Makemake, Haumea & Eris. Please add in future versions.

Best easy to use Astronomy App. I’ve tried out a lot of the Astronomy Apps and Skyview is clearly one of the best and easiest to use. It doesn’t have a 100 million stars that I know of, but almost anything you can actually see it covers. It’s colorful, and has the planets, stars, constellations, etc, but it also has earth’s satellites which are very interesting. It even has the Hubble Space Telescope. On top of all that, it’s a fair price. I’ve tried a lot of the Astronomy Apps, but I always go to use Skyview. The interface / orientation is easy to understand, and basically it works great

Granddaughter thinks it’s awesome!. Went out with my 3 yo granddaughter just after dark last night to see the planetary alignment. She could see the planets on the screen and with her own eyes and just thought that was the coolest thing ever. After a few minutes we went back inside and she asked me: “Can we look at Venus and Mars and Jupiter again tomorrow?” In 3 minutes she learned about 3 planets AND knew that they were planets and not stars. You guys are THE BEST!!! Thank you for facilitating the legwork on astral science! If this is the only thing she ever learns from me (and you guys), I’m ok with that! Thanks again!

An Exciting, Interesting APP. I’m a retired aerospace engineer and have always looked at the night sky in wonderment. We never had a family camping trip without discussions of the night sky and the amazing beauty of it all. All of us could identify the Big Dipper, Mars and the moon, but everything else was guesswork until we discovered this App. I love sitting on the back deck an simply being able to locate all the planets or that bright star in the eastern sky or the many satellites and space junk that I helped put up there. I am so happy I found this App. Educational and a great way to impress your kids or grandkids with your new found knowledge. Easy to use. I look forward to many nights of enjoyment. Thank you!

How do you use this???. I used skyview lite and i LOVED it! It took my phone camera and compass and showed me directly what was where i was pointing my phone. So, i bought the full version. There was no tutorial, no prompts explaining anything. Even in FAQ and settings within the app i couldnt find any help. Spend 10 mins like a dummy doing a figure 8 motion with my phone in all the concievable ways i could interpret the directions. No change or prompt. Resetting the tutorial (i never even received a tutorial) did nothing. It is locked on to one singular point and i cannot navigate or move away from this point. I would have preferred to assume user error and email the developers privately for help but there is no option to do this. I do not have an old phone, everything is up to date, and the lite version worked perfectly. I wish i would not have spent the money on this because it is functionally useless to me. No recalibration or settings change or anything to help me figure out what is wrong. At this point i have to assume the app is faulty and i wish i could have my money back.

Best/Coolest/Most Mind Blowing App. 25 years old, took a Planetary Geology course at UNC Charlotte and fell in love with outer space. I got a telescope, downloaded this app, and my mind was blown. This app shows you how many places we’ve identified with the high-tech technology we have, and it makes me curious as to what else we identify as technology advances. Being a stoner only makes this app that much more crazy….there are for sure aliens out there. All it takes is one single cell on another celestial body to be considered an alien. This app haloed me confirm my belief that there’s more out there. I’ve recommended this app to many, and it will only be many more as time goes on.

Something for All Ages. I am a recently retired attorney who, although an economics major has always enjoyed the sciences: biology, chemistry, physics and a full year of astronomy in college. Some 50 years ago, after viewing a spectacular total solar eclipse from the Delmarva peninsula in southern Maryland I got totally hooked and acquired a 3.5” Questar Maksutov telescope and have enjoyed it ever since since it is very portable. Even without my laptop or a nautical almanac this intuitive, lovely application enables me to identify planets, stars and other celestial objects wherever my wife and I travel. I am now looking forward to exposing my granddaughter to the joys of star gazing in the near future. Thank you for a very nice program!

Great app, but music no longer works. I purchased this several months ago, and I love it, but the music no longer works. I’ve verified both in the app and in my phone settings that music is on, plus I’ve rebooted my phone. Is this a bug? If so, please fix. For people complaining the stars show when pointing the app at a floor or wall: you think the stars stop existing once they’re out of sight or below the horizon? The app is showing you the stars as if you were able to see through the planet, or just your wall. It’s not capturing the *actual* stars and labeling them. That would be a mighty powerful phone camera if it could do that. The app is a *map*, a star chart, to the skies. This is also why it needs calibration. Stop crying “Fake!”, and enjoy the app.

Cool and informative, but could use a few things. I initially tried the SkyView Lite with my son after buying him a telescope a few weeks back. My initial thoughts of the app were great (still is) as you can point up, down, side-to-side and behind you and find what’s out there. This gets me dizzy and somewhat lost when trying relocate the object through the telescope. A few nights back, we went to a viewing event and found another similar app (stellarium) which did not have (could be user settings) all of the constellation artwork pop ups and things getting in the way to try and find certain nebula and various other objects. His app simplified with a real-time view (potentially used a light pollution map) of what’s visible by the eye, to help find objects. He also did not have to point the app up, he held it at ground level and was able to match the stars visible currently to the eye, vs holding up the phone and getting lost within all the stars in the sky with your app. Long story short I found some settings in this app to remove the pop up constellation artwork and reduce some of the stars, planets and satellites, however I’m not able to eliminate the point up to see option. Is there a setting for that in this app? I would like to hold the phone flat like I’m texting and see a real time view of what’s viewable with my eye, vs getting dizzy with the moving and spinning of the app.

Thought it a 5, but no, it is not. I’ve had SkyView for several years and thought it was great; would have rated it a five. But after all the news coverage of Comet Neowise I thought I’d try using the app to find it. Nope; search returns nothing. Brightest Northern Hemisphere comet since Hale-Bopp but the app doesn’t know of it? That was a letdown. I was also frustrated to learn that the developer site - terminaleleven(dot)com - has no help functionality or really anything but a sales pitch. Clearly, once you get the app they’re done with you. I give it 2 stars because it is really pretty good as long as nothing new comes along in the night sky, and as long as the user has no questions.

The Universe made easy..... This awesome app makes answering my kids questions easy and fun!! Love it. We use it at home, on road trips, during special space events, and my fave.... camping! My only issue, which is fairly easy to adjust, is the iPhone version has to be recalibrated every time we use it. Not hard to do, but kind of a bother when we want info on a 'star' or planet quickly. Really cool that it can be filtered (or set to show multiple sets of data) to give us info on our satellites, space trash, and different missions from around the globe. Definitely a laypersons go to app for all that is in our local universe.

Phenomenal app (Developer note at bottom). 4 star until I can legally give it 5 stars. I’ve had this app for YEARS now and it’s been absolutely phenomenal in all areas of the world allowing me to view things in the sky I never thought I’d be able to understand. I recommend this app to so many people. I had the Lite version for a year, I bought the paid and haven’t gone back For developer. There’s been a recent bug where I have a constellation constantly showing “Draco” in particular. No matter what happens it stays and I’m unable to search or look for anything else. When I uninstalled and installed again the camera started working again however the Draco constellation is a still appearing. Making it like a watermark over everything. Will be giving 5 stars once one of my favorite apps is back and up n running! Keep up the great work friends!

Best Star Chart. Ever.. I've been an amateur astronomer for over 20 years now, and this is decidedly the best star chart I have ever used. The only thing I would even suggest to add, is a Planner function for each evening's night sky. In other words, an option to click an icon inside the app that shows you the top things to see tonight, maybe everything that is Magnitude 5 or brighter for the evening, to help you plan a night of observing and make sure you hit all the best sights for the evening. But this is definitely a great app, very intuitive and informative.

Super. This app is awesome! It is by far my favorite. To be able to see so much, any time of day, is a fantastic experience. I used the light version for about 15 minutes, then knew I wanted to purchase full version. I have a 9 year old who loves to view space with a telescope. This app points him in the exact direction and time, for viewing many objects. Thanks for a great app. Update: I have been using this app for over 6 years now and it's still used at least weekly. My then 9 year old son is now 15 and has it on his own phone. My other sons, now 9 and 10 also ask to use my phone at times, just to explore the skies, even while inside the house.

My Go-To sky watching astronomy app. SkyView is an essential for anyone who wants to know what that bright light in the sky might be. I have opened the app and been surprised to find a whole bunch of planets all stacked on top of each other - it called a conjunction - and it’s kind of mind blowing to see it all displayed across the sky for you to see just by holding your phone up to the sky (or down, there are stars all around us!) This is one of my must-have apps.

Love this app. I have used other apps before but were never happy with them. This app is the best by far! All you need to do is aim it where you want and there is everything I’ve been looking for. Great graphics, lots of info and more options than I know what to do with all in the simplest form. No hunting for what you want. They have done a great job here. Had the SkyView lite and loved it but this is even better. I show it to everyone! Highly recommend this app! I couldn’t be happier! Great job guys!

What happened to the COMPASS???. I’m very disappointed lately. I paid for this app but I’ve had lots of problems with it knowing where anything is. It doesn’t keep the correct direction, now, even after I just set it manually (which was still not quite right) There was a compass that I could turn on, and then adjust the direction, but the compass is gone this week. I love trying to find out what the various bright lights are in the sky, but I am getting extremely disappointed with the fact that this app is getting worse every week! The app does not give an option for customer service to ask questions or report it not working correctly. So that is why I am posting this review.

Compass will stop working with magnetics case. First off, I’m revising my review yesterday after I bought another sky app and it also was frozen in place and my iPhone compass was also frozen. This app is very enjoyable and informative. Well worth the money I paid for it. If you have freezing issues, meaning the app is stuck in one location, check your phone compass. If that is also frozen, check your phone case. If it has any component that is magnetic (mine did from the snapping back), try taking it off. It fixed the freezing issue. If it still freezes, then I’d write a review to inform others.

Probably my favorite app in the App Store. I have never ever gotten so much out of an app as I have with SkyView. Every single time I open the app, I learn something new. This app makes it INCREDIBLY easy to figure out what I'm seeing in the night sky. On top of that, it's accurate, fast, informative, and simple to use. No matter if you are a student, astronomer, or just someone interested in the cosmos, get the free version of the app and give it a try. If you love it as much as I do, buy the full app. I promise you won't be disappointed. $1.99 is a small price to ask for an app as impressive and complete as this one.

Favorite astronomy app!. I love this app. I've had it for several years now. It's so cool to be able to hold it up to the sky and see what's there, day or night. Catch a glimpse of a satellite and hold up the app to see what it is. I've seen the Hubble and the ISS. It's educational for adults and kids. I've had a few other astronomy apps but this is my favorite. I deleted the others. I would be nice to have the constellation art fade away after a couple of seconds instead of taking up so much screen real estate. Maybe have a toggle for the option?

Addictive!. I am very much a beginner when it comes to looking at the sky. Had a nice telescope but due to my location I really needed to travel about 25 west where the area is very rural. I mean how many times can you you look at the moon(even though it fascinated eveytime). So SKYVIEW, that’s why we’re here. I can spend hours walking along A1A in Palm Beach using SkyView. Looking at stars and different galaxies. Point your camera to the sky, touch any star or planet OR tap on any space junk orbiting the earth (that in itself is overwhelming), any little dot you see which could be another galaxy. Below on your screen you will get the information on exactly what you are looking at. Very cool stuff. To think we cannot get from one end of our galaxy to the other. And there are millions of galaxies out there😳😎 We can’t be the only ones!!! The app is great. Fun, informative. User friendly!

Augmented reality. It seems that it is mandatory to see the app with augmented reality on. I try to shut it off go back to the app and it automatically turns itself back on. That’s annoying, I love the app and want to give it a five star rating but the settings won’t let me because it’s not just the augmented reality. there’s a couple of other settings that no matter how many times you shut them off they go back to being on. I paid for the app I downloaded the app you give us the options to have it on or off and yet we don’t get to utilize those options it seems forced upon us. And also can you bring the gyroscope back to align the app the way you have it now doesn’t always work easily. If it’s not broken then don’t fix it. I really do love the app I think it’s amazing but if you could do those two things; I would appreciate it. Then somebody else mentioned about searching the surroundings without moving the phone that’s a fabulous idea

Rare that I write a review.... ...But a friend showed me and my fam this app, and it is such a source of wonder. I check it daily when I rise & see what beautiful celestial body is shining down from the heavens above. Really filled me with an even greater sense of respect for Creation & deeper desire to know God. A great blessing for my kids especially, who have now been insisting on a telescope and a visit to an observatory. Couple that with their new desire to take astronomy classes, & it is a accurate to say that this app is WORTH IT. Thank you to the developers for an excellent product.

Voyager 1 and 2 Spacecrafts. First of all I would like to say that this is my favorite app of all time. My friend and I have spent many nights far out in the Nevada desert exploring the universe, guided by SkyView. There are two objects though that I was wondering if you could add to SkyView; would it be possible to include the location of the Voyager spacecrafts? According to NASA, they are currently about 13,000,000+ miles out there, it would be fun to point the app out there and imagine those little spacecrafts cruising out into interstellar space. Thank you very much

Love this. This app is great! Using the app alone you can travel through the night sky, even in light polluted skies (like my Bortle class 7 sky) and enjoy the wonders above us. I’ve recently upgraded to a Dobsonian telescope and I like to put my phone in a magnetic holder on the tube itself to help direct me to different objects in the sky (it’s not as accurate as my finders of course but does get me in the general area of interesting things!). Thank you for making a pocket planetarium for us lovers of space

Great app. It’s a really good app. It’s very easy to use, but only recently I’ve noticed that the calibration is very off. When I try to set it up manually, it gets completely out of whack whenever I go back into the app. I’m not sure if there is a way to save it or not. That is my only issue. Besides that, it’s wonderful.

Sadly lacking basic search function. Easy to point and identify a star or object. Can’t accept address to search for a known address for a star or point in space. Google maps will eat this ap when they include off planet locations.

Great App. I love this app I love exploring the universe and seeing all the stars and astronomy signs and space stations I think it’s a great app and great tool to learn about the universe but just to sit back and observe what’s going on up there is exciting it’s quite interesting and time filler Just waiting for the day or night I see a flying object eg: plane, helicopter or spaceship (LOL)

Best astronomy app!. Well worth upgrading to the paid version of this app. So many more brilliant features and preference settings. I use it purely for tracking satellites and find it much better than the Satellites app. Love it! 🛸🚀🔭

Awesome...all-in-one best app. This is an app of few that the children can use day or night and learn something of value....Regards 👍👍👍

slight problem. I loved this app and used it all the time, but recently it has stopped working. I cannot enter the app as every time I go to open it, it crashes. It’s a bit disappointing and I would love to continue to use it but it won’t work :(

SkyView. Great App - for a star gazing novice this App is brilliant and for someone who is more advanced, there is something for you as well. Excellent for learning about the stars and astronomy. Bob R

Glitched. My SkyView is glitched every time I open the app it always shows the draco constellation and I try to restart the app but it keeps popping up it used to work perfectly but something is wrong now Not good☹️

Very Good. I’ve been using this app for years now and it works like a charm every time. Sometimes it’s a little bit off where the stars are but it’s close enough to get the idea. I would love to see even more things be added to the app as I feel we never get any new content!

Awesome App. Great app, better than all of the paid apps. I’ve been using it for years and use it nearly every night.

Love it.. I love how you can ad or remove the star sign Constilation, Spot the International Space station Scream across the sky, Hubble. My interest in the stars has been illuminated Thanks guys.

Where are the instructions?. I love the concept, but how do I find what I’m looking for after I entered it into the search? Usage tips and FAQs answers only 4 preset questions and there’s no way to search. How am I supposed to find out how to use it? Frustrated!

Not so good in the southern hemisphere. I have no idea about the Northern hemisphere, but to call the Southern Cross "crux, one of 88 modern constellations", leaving out so much, seems less than informative. No Big Kangaroo, no Emu, both of which are popularised and real aboriginal constellations, also seems a bit northern-hemisphere-centric, if not blatantly racist. Someone might want to do some southern hemisphere night sky research. The space debris stuff is good though, nice to get an idea of what is man-made up there.

Great app for beginner’s. This is a great app for people just beginning. I enjoy it. My only problem is that the app shows the earth’s moon but it doesn’t show all the moons of the other planets. It would be cool if it did that.

Great app. I had downloaded the free version and was quite impressed with it so I purchased the full app and it provides much more information. I’m particularly impressed with seeing the satellites and spent rocket debris is out in our NEO. However when using the auto location positioning there’s a slight misalignment with respect to my actual location and the constellations.

Sky view. This app is amazing because it shows different constilations and planet, space junk, and even satellites

Great app to help kids relax.. I use this at the end of the day to help the grandchildren wind down. They love laying in the bed and checking out all the planets, stars, satellites, rocket boosters etc and the music is very relaxing. Love it.

Novel but still can be improved. Generally speaking it’s a great app, but please let the app tell me how far the star I’m watching at is from me. Only knowing the name and location of the star isn’t very intuitive. But knowing the distance between me and the star (and each star on the sky) would give me a much more intuitive of their position. Also, knowing the distance also allows me to know how many years the light traveled to from there to my eye, isn’t it much more romantic! Please add this feature plz!!!

Both hemisphere. Works in Australia but in Morocco even after changing location even the moon we can see doesn’t show

Great for getting kids interested in space. Got the kids looking into the night sky, picked a satellite on the app then watched it fly over, kids though that was cool. Helps locate planets, constellations and the ISS. Top app.

A wonder. seriously excellent, been using it for years & am always thrilled. Calibration tools very helpful

The best app. I really enjoy discovering sky. Extremely interesting and detailed map. Thank you, developers

Best purchase ever. This app is absolutely the best app I've even downloaded/bought. It is so much fun and so educational. I would recommend this to anyone!!

Great app, everyone I show it to loves it!. It’s great and it’s amazing when your sitting on a lookout up at the sky and you can use it to view everything that you can see in more detail. Have had issues with calibration but hopefully the next update will work it out

Brilliant!. Great app! Works perfectly~ would love to be able to get notifications for more stars, but otherwise, very good 👍🏻

If you’re interested in the stars and what’s really out of this world try this. This is a very easy app to use quite straightforward I use this app nearly every day And don’t forget to use a tripod if you are using it with a phone it’s much easier It’s worth its money Truly out of this world

No Star Names. This app would be fantastic if there was a way to turn on major star and constellation names without having to place the cursor over each one as pretty much every astronomy app does.

Best application I’ve ever bought. This app is absolutely fantastic. A huge thank you to the developers. It is precise and extremely easy to explore the night sky. It’s so fascinating to see what the stars are called, where the star signs are, identifying planets and even seeing the suns trajectory for the day. Five stars to the developers!

Very cool. I wouldn't advise it - but it would be interesting to light up a mild organically grown hooter and use this app on a clear night.

But disappointed. Have used this app many times over the last few years and have been very pleased with it. But I loaded it on my iPhone 7 and now the planets are not in the right places. It’s not very useful if everything is off. Perhaps there’s away I can recalibrate it. Disappointed. 😕

Had it for six months, it's really good!. I've been using this for the last six months, I'd be lost without it. 5 stars from me!

Awesome. This app is legit. Found a few planets through this, looked through my telescope, and they were there. Awesome buy, especially if you’ve got a telescope.

My all time favourite App!. I have had this app for many years now and still to this day it is my absolute favourite app of all time! (I am a bit of a space nerd...) I have learned SO much from this app, without it I’d feel lost in the universe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

GuyWilly. Excellent app, I got the app with my first real telescope, it is almost a must for beginners. A basic moon map would be great, name the main craters etc. overall very good thank you.

Great App but……. Love this app but would be better without the celestial drawings being so animated - could they be toned down ? Cheers From Outback Australia

Cool app. Very cool app. Shows a 360 degree view so if you cover up your camera so the screen is black, even during the daytime or wherever you are you can see where things are, even stuff on the other side of the planet or below the horizon etc. As some others have said in these reviews you can see the stars even when you point at the floor, so it’s good in that you can know ok I got about an hour or two before Saturn or the moon or whatever will be viewable. Only thing I’d change is make access to the display settings a little quicker but it’s fine as it is, it’s only one extra step deeper into the menu so not a big deal. Clear Skies!

Good app. This is really useful for astronomy as it makes it easier to find planets and stars, you can also see further in time to know when the planets wont be visible. I also like how it gives you detail on planets/stars as well.

VERY unexpected. I was doubtful, but this app really surprised me with how well this app worked! I bought it and went straight outside to see if it was accurate and really was! This app will be my go to guide when looking for objects to find through my telescope.

IPad Pro 12.9 Not Good.. The app is fantastic, but I don't think it was made for IPads, not sure about iPhones because I don't have an iPhone. But, I have the same app on my Nexus 6P, the milky way in the background is just very condensed and clear, very high refresh frames rate it is like hot knife on butter smooth. The black background is pure deep black, it's just beautiful. The augmented side on the Nexus 6P which to me is an old device is high quality. But on the IPad it's all pixelated, the frame rate when you move the device around is very low and you can actually see how washed out the whole background is, black is not back. Can someone have a look please how it compares and hopefully we see version for the iPad thanks.

Great UI, no comets though?. Great for finding constellations and satellites etc, really easy to use and beautiful interface. Search functionality is also great. My only gripe would be - there doesn’t seem to be a way to find comets like eg Neowise... any plans to include transitory objects like comets etc via a feed or something?

There’s a problem with the SkyView😐. “Hello” I’m having a problem with SkyView today, every time I click on the same star then I click on Wikipedia starts to freeze and closes itself it’s so strange, I don’t know why is it closing itself when I click on the same star is just so strange, but I don’t know why but it hasn’t be closing itself before when I just brought the SkyView but it’s so strange🤔? Can you please fix SkyView from freezing and closing so I don’t have so I do not get annoyed with SkyView because otherwise I will delete it and by the way please fix it😊?

Used to be great. I used to love this app, but recently it seems to be more “out” with its calibration, and a week ago it started to “roll” out of control through the sky, even though I’m holding my device completely still. It’s like watching the stars and horizon line on the app just tumble faster and faster in a downward motion. I can’t find anything in the help section to suggest how to fix this, I’ve tried the figure 8, I’ve tried resetting the location, I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, but I have no idea what’s going on. All other apps on my phone which use location services (including google maps) are working fine...

Amazing!. This app is amazing! It reminds me of Virtual Reality because you can see the whole sky even when you are sitting in your bedroom!

Definitely worth the price. Even though the free version is okay anyway, the paid version for only $8 is amazing! Works great on an iPad and is great for people like me who are only just starting out in astronomy. It looks like a lot of work from the developers has gone in here!

A long time favourite. The lite version was something I loved to whip out and use for years. It gives me such a huge feeling of wanderlust to look out into the galaxy. It’s man’s future frontier. I wish they’d update the app and add the JWST. Right now it hasn’t been added.

Amazing. Very useful for finding all of those hard to find planets and stars, highly recommended😀

Love this app. I’ve used this app for a number of years now and absolutely adore it. Have had iOS for 10 years and SkyView is undoubtedly my all-time favourite app. Paid for the full version without hesitation. As a lifelong skywatcher, it was worth every penny. Thanks for developing it guys, you’ve truly done a service for skywatchers worldwide.

Love it. I love this app. Its just great to see whats actually above us. Ive found north is a bit off but still love it.

IPhone 7plus. I find this great on the iPhone, with none of the problems mentioned by the IPad user. Love how you don’t even have to go outside to use it.

SkyView Lite more accurate than SkyView. I have both of the above apps installed on my iPhone. This evening I could clearly see Orion’s belt where SkyView Lite said it should be but SkyView said Orion was below the horizon. I could clearly see the Southern Cross (Cruz) but SkyView showed it rotated relative to the real thing and in a different location. Both apps have access to location. So, I am using the free app because the one I paid for is just wrong!

Great for Camping. I’ve used this app while camping to point out the planets which are visible in the night sky. It’s the next best thing to a high-end telescope.

A few suggestions. I have a few suggestions to add to this app, if you don’t mind. 1 - As previously suggested by others, add Starlink satellites. 2 - Again, as previously suggested by others, add the option to hide space junk. 3 - The ability to tap an object you are looking at to open a page that gives a short description of it. 4 - Add Webb! Overall, great app!

Wow!. This app is awesome! I learned so much about outer space. I would like more apps like this one

Used to work great…. …but checking it out now (years later) it doesn’t work at all, period.

Friends Love it!. Was in Jamaica and the sky looked beautiful at night. Family and friends around me loved that they were able to understand what they were looking at.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. All I can say is this. There are no flaws with this app to make a long story short. The details in this app are phenomenal. I would HIGHLY recommend this app for anyone, child or adult, who is interested in knowing what the names of certain stars are as well as what the names of all the satellites are. Not to mention that the music in this app makes it an even more pleasant experience. This app is well worth every cent. I made no mistake by purchasing this app.

Frozen. I had the lite version but it was froze in one position so I bought the paid version along with the satellite app. The screen still remains frozen I did send a message to the developer but no reply. I’m hoping they will see this and help me get this working.

Great app. I love this app, I use it a lot.

used to be an incredible app, now it doesn’t work. I used this for the first time in NZ and learned about so many constellations I’d never seen before. Now there are no planets and it won’t automatically calibrate, rendering the app completely unusable. It’s a real shame - it used to be one of my favourite apps.

Great app. I love this app for the nights I like to explore the sky. I have just noticed a glitch that when I try to move left or right the whole image rotates so I can’t even get the moon in the correct spot. Hopefully it’s a one time thing.

Love this app. We spend a lot of time at our cottage under the stars. This app always generated the most interest in the sky. Lots of info and useful things to spark and carry conversation all night. Thanks so much for opening this part of the world to us. VR John and Bonnie in NB Canada.

Totally awesome. Have had a few problems with calibration

LOVE IT. I love space and it has helped me sooooooo much finding stuff like it helped me WITH THE ISS THANK YOU FOR WHO MADE THISSSSSS

Best sky app. So interesting

More than worth it. I’ve been using the lite version for years now and tbh I should’ve bought the full version a long time ago lol. Both are amazing apps but there’s a lot more stars and satellites in the full version, and it’s only a one time payment of $4 which is honestly a steal considering most apps are subscription nowadays. Thank you to the developers for making this awesome tool available at such an affordable price. <3 Remember to calibrate if you’re having issues with the stars not lining up.

View the sky!. Wonderful app, enjoy it!

Fantastic. Just with that tool, I have a better idea of where is what. Very helpfull to find our way in the sky. No need of a sky map anymore. Would be Nice to have a snapshot of actual location of our planets positions in regard to the sun. If ever you would like to add something more! Nice tool to discover the sky.

Super appli ! Je la recommande !. le système est tellement bien fait ! Autant le solaire que celui de l’app !

Go to campfire app!. Must have around the campfire

New to this topic !!. I’m just starting to enjoy the topic of looking at the stars at night so far this tool like it looks like it’s very handy. sometimes though it doesn’t seem to be as accurate when I’m holding up the phone and looking at the sky at the same time maybe it’s just the way I’ve got this configured I don’t really understand it yet.

Great!. Please update for Webb Telescope!!!

App no longer works. The app is frozen. It no longer scans the skies as you move. The view never changes. It appears to be broken Update put out August 28, 2022 has NOT resolved the freeze issue. Still not working on Pro version and Lite version

Delighted!. I've only just started my exploration of the cosmos, and what a great tool to see what's out there. Love it! Great to share with the kids too!

Very Good .. This app is a complete wonder, the universe at your fingertips, just one problem , North has to always be done manually , other than that it’s simple fantastic . 🤠

Good app but not well calibrated. It's a beautiful app with a lot of details. But I am rating 3 because it is not calibrated correctly. It does not aim the moon where it really is for instance. Even after I manually calibrate it, it goes back to a random settings. Also it is hard to see the stars or planets behind the drawings of a constellation. Too bad because this app has a great potential.

The best. Many thanks to the developers.

Great. I like Skyview thank you for this app

Great app but moon is at the wrong place tonight. Always work perfectly for years But not today

Calibration issues. It’s a great app. Recently it will not calibrate correctly. I’ve tried to get it to calibrate but it will not stay calibrated.

Love the App but I need a widget!. Please please please make a 2 by 2 widget that I can add to my Smart Stack, I’d love to get update on what neat things I could i see in the sky that night without having to constantly check the app. Thank you!

Accurate. I started using the app to guide me when taking picture of the night sky . It’s very accurate ,I plan on installing a mount to my telescope that will hold my phone and SkyView will guide me when using my DSLR on my telescope.👍👍

View Screen always frozen. This app always frozen and I can not reset it or calibrate….

Good app. Nice app even if it costs money worth every penny for me but I recommend it to anyone who like astronomy

Inexpensive and lots of fun!. Pretty good detail. Still seeing lots of objects/lights in the sky that the app doesn’t seem to identify but nevertheless a great app for the value. I honestly would give it 5 stars but as mentioned there’s stuff on the sky that is very visible yet not at all in the app itself.

2 appareils. Après avoir acheté l’applicatiin, il ne fonctiinne pas sur mes 2 appareils seulement sur mon ipad et non sur mon cellulaire et ça fonctionnait avant Pourquoi ça ne fonctionne pas sur mes2 appareils?

Love It!. I adore this app. No matter where I am in the world, it tells me what planets and stars I'm seeing. AND the developer doesn't collect any of my personal info, unlike most. Highly recommend!

Doesn’t work. loved the app but it stopped working. it doesn’t move with my phone. please fix :(

Really?. I paid 4 dollars for this app to just be frozen on a constellation like cmon

updated version. I love Sky View. I just updated to the premium and it is well worth the upgrade. My only comment is that I wish I could hide the space junk (spent rocket launchers) but still get to see the the satallites that I love to track (hubble and others) . I find the proliferation of rocket launchers turning on their axix distracting and it takes away from the beauty and serene starry sky of the original free version. I ended up putting the free version back on my phone yesterday so I could have a choice, The additional music tho is nice. and lots of other choices in the upgrade that I do like. please tho make a toggle switch for the rocket launchers alone. but leave the science and other satellites to view. I see that Japan has recently sent up a space debris garbage truck! (Dec 16) to collect some of these spent rocket launchers. Thanks for a great app tho

Rene Laviolette. Best sky for your buck

Awesome!. Makes star gazing a whole lot more interesting.

James Webb. Unable to locate the James Webb telescope

Love it!. This app is one of my main tools used for viewing. I can easily find any star, galaxy, constellation etc… highly recommended upgrading for paid version.

My favourite. Wish they updated with star link

Calibration. Will not calibrate in auto mode. Always in reverse; north is south and south is north. On ipad mini 6, did seem to have this bug.

Glad I upgraded.. This app is so detailed and in-depth. If you’re using the lite version and thinking about upgrading, it’s completely worth it if you love astronomy like I do.

Spectacularly informative. If you’re looking into the sky and your question is what’s that or you’re wondering where something is, your answer is right here

Not working. View is not moving with moving the phone…please fix

Not working. Used this years ago and was great. Now not working period

DOA. Still not working and no one returns my attempts to contact the app developers. Hold on to your money.

Used this for years, no longer seems to work (5/2/23). Beloved as this app was to me for years, they seem to be petering out. Calibration no longer works—possibly due to a lack of updates that keep in step with Apple’s compass and location access settings. I granted as many permissions as I could to all three, but SkyView kept showing me a default screen as though I were pointing due north, and neither automatic nor manual calibration solved the issue. Their FAQ page is literally one page that’s only relevant if you have one specific issue, so I guess they’re not trying anymore. Sad to see, but wycd apps get abandoned I guess

Love it!!!. I have over the years had the free Version of this app and love it never had a Single problem with it. It’s always work really well. So with all the telescopes that I own I bought this and have never ever regretted it I’ve tried others but this one here seems to be the best one out that’s why I gave it five stars would love to been able to give it six. I’ve had it on a lot of phones over the years both iPhones and androids alike.

An essential app!!!. What a fantastic find! Another sky/star guide app was often much more advertised and recommended. And as I searched to download it, I noticed this one and looked it over. I immediately knew this was the one for me. I purchased the bundle, so freaking happy I did!! I AM SO ADDICTED TO THIS APP AND I CAN NOT STOP TELLING PEOPLE THEY’D BE CRAZY NOT TO DOWNLOAD IT. If you can spend 9.99 on music, you can spend 2.99 for this amazing sky guide & if you're like me 4.99 for the bundle, that's a #BARGIN!

Love your App, but I can see. Hi, I love your app and I think it is an insanely useful tool. But I wanted to recommend making it accessible as an audio learning tool as well. I know that sounds crazy but if it could be listened to by blind people as they move it across the sky you could provide something to them that no one in the world is.

Best App for Stargazers!. It's definitely worth it to upgrade to the full version. It's only $1.99 and you get access to satellites, more constellations, all of the music, and a nice widget feature that alerts you of future possible sightings. If you don't want to pay, the free version still works amazingly. Both are very informing and extremely fun to use for even beginner space lovers!

I love SkyView. This is one of my favorite apps for camping, boating, etc. every time I get it out I’m amazed by the well done interface and the massive database of info. My only request would be to add the ability to tell the app where I am with a Latitude and Longitude rather than just by the nearest city. I am often using it at very remote locations and I can’t always get it oriented just right since I can’t give it precise enough location info. Otherwise it’s phenomenal. Keep updating!

Star Gazer. It’s 4am and I can’t sleep, so I decided to go out on the front porch/yard and do some star gazing. OMG...while using this app (that was recommended, thank you) and actually looking at the stars, I was able to see very clearly and pinpoint our entire solar system (minus 2 planets) in this mass universe. Simply in AWE of the unknown universe and I just know in my gut ...we cannot be the alone, it’s just not possible....#idobelieve in ALIENS, I do believe in ALIENS...I do I do...👽🪐🌎🚀🛸

Father and daughter time. I had the free version for years and when I got my 4 year old into Astronomy and showed her this on my phone, she always wants to view this app with me. I purchased the full version. She absolutely loves this. I’m absolutely depressed to see the amount of space junk we have allowed though.

Terrific App!. I didn’t use this long before I paid for the full version because the developers deserve support and compensation for this. It’s the best app I’ve tried. The only change I would suggest is the ability to calibrate both up-down and side-to-side. My phone’s calibration is terrible and everything is a little out of position. I know it’s the phone and not this excellent app because my compass is off, too.

Finger scroll. Can you allow finger scrolling and disable the gps tilt controls. When you are tucking your kids into bed it’s hard to show the solar system when I have to move the device in different angles only allowing a small portion to be seen as I don’t want the kids letting out of bed to look behind or below.

Just Plain Fun!. I love this app & if you enjoy staring at the sky at night, you will too. There’s nothing like sitting by the campfire stargazing. Beyond Orion’s Belt & the Big Dipper, there was little I could ID. SV ID’s constellations I didn’t know existed, shows the locations of all the planets & their moons, stars of distant galaxies, satellites & even jettisoned rocket engines tumbling around Earth’s orbit. I started w/ the free version but upgraded & am glad I did.

I wish I had this year’s ago.. This is an awesome app with so many great features. I have learned so much about the sky from this. Even during the day time it works. I love to see where the planets are within all the night time stars. The constalations just come to life with this app. This app brings the heavens to earth.

Needs updated. The objects on the app are significantly off from where they are seen with the naked eye even updating location. However, all these people who say it’s not working because it shows you stars when pointing at a dark room or point toward anything but the sky do not have a clear understanding of astronomy. The Earth is surrounded completely by space and therefore stars and other celestial objects all the time. You just can’t see them during the day. Or if you are standing inside.

Amazing App for Novice Astronomist. I am so pleased with this app. When I see a stars or a planet i just point the phone towards it and it tells me the name. I can also view constellations. There must be many other features I have yet to learn. For an occasional camper like me, one can spend hours looking up the sky and the app together and has fun. Thanks, developers.

Best App I’ve ever had. This app is hugely popular anytime we’re out at night. Football games, campfires, camping! Someone is always asking me what something it, or where something is. Every time I have this app out a crowd congregates around me. A great way to meet new people and share amazing knowledge about both celestial and human-made objects in the sky. I cannot recommend this enough. I’m so glad I paid for it.

A planetarium in my hands!!! Beautiful!. I love this app! I have been using this app for 5 years, and am so happy it exists! It lets you explore the sky! And the music is so amazing! Sometimes I’ll just open the app, even at daytime, to explore what’s surrounding us at that moment. I have gifted friends with this app too! And they loved it!

Great but Please Improve. Incredible app, but it could use more customization options for what you’re seeing. I would like to be able to turn planets into points of light in the AR mode. I would like to be able to disable planets or stars entirely, and just look for one or the other I would like to be able to just enable man-made bodies or disable them entirely with some additional options. This would be a truly must have app.

Simply Amazing. I love this app.I use it every night..I am amazed by creation and it took the hands of a Creator not a big boom to place this beautiful ever changing universe in place..Every time I use this app it becomes more real to me..For those who you that put this together thank you as this is my favorite before I go to sleep at night or just need time to unwind..

I love this app!. I couldn't sleep, so I was outside - sitting at the base of El Cerro (volcano) in Los Lunas, NM, at 3:30am on a warm summer night in June, 2017. I was facing east and was searching around for different planets in the app. And Wow! The moon is just now coming up on the eastern horizon. It's only a sliver, but on the horizon, it looks huge. I was amazed, because I thought it had already risen and set by this time. The app helped me find Uranus and Venus, near the moon. This is so cool for amateurs!!

Awesome app!. I really LOVE this app! My only complaint, I guess it would be a complaint, is that i don’t have an option anywhere to record and not just take a still photo. It would be SUPER AMAZING if I could take a small clip of Venus actually rotating in space! And record the rocket body pieces that are floating in space! It’s truly amazing to see it, I would LOVE to record it/ video it. Other than that, I think it’s a truly inspiring app for any lover of the stars! I am so thankful to be able to view one of the many awe and wonders of God through this app. Thank you!

Awesome app!. Allows the user to "see" stars, constellations, satellites, planets, space debris and space stations. Select your location to identify objects and constellations real time or manually select another location to see other parts of the world. 5 stars for ease of use, high quality, and price! Not a paid review, just a homeschooling family that is enjoying this app.

One of my favorite Apps!. Shared this on Facebook with my friends: Sat on the dock last night with my dad, waiting to see if we could see the international space station pass directly over our heads. Even though we could not, it was one of the best moments of my life. Just like sitting with him. Oh, and if you don't have the app, SkyView, you should download it. You can find any planet, heavenly body, star system, or human launched item up there. If you search for something, it will show an arrow until you are pointing your phone directly at it. So even though we couldn't see ISS with the naked eye, we could follow it with our phones. And just now realized, there's at least one app that two people can use to share an experience without ignoring each other!

No Comet Neowise. The app is lovely. I went out and bought the satellite/spacejunk companion app, too (should have just gotten the bundle to begin with). Sadly, it seems there’s no support for current events... such as the approach of comet Neowise that is going on right now (23-Jul-2020). That seems such an obvious thing to have available (just think of the publicity the app would get) but, no. Maybe the devs will change their minds by the time the next big thing happens in the sky.

Good app. One time, a few years ago, I was trying to track a viewing opportunity for International Space Station. This app was off by several minutes. It was corrected a few days later and has been right on the mark since then. It’s very useful & certainly worth the small price.

Haven’t used in far too long, now. I opened it and was greeted by the request to tell the app where I am. I chose to let the app find out. When that didn’t work, I verified it is setup correctly (while using). Still will not locate me. I manually entered location. Works. Never had t do that before. Three stars is much too low for this app, But if it can’t find our location automatically, I have to wonder about the accuracy of the stars, etc, I am viewing!

Great App. Worth learning. Some wishes?. Been using this app for years. I like waiting and watching for satellite sightings. I see now there is a widget of the sightings available. But the widget only shows the top of the list of sightings! Can there be a filter, sort option, or favorites option for sightings? To be able to at least select what sightings to see in the widget? Thanks for the app. I recommend this app. It’s not real friendly, but once you learn it, it’s awesome. It’s not a game.

White bar destroys night vision in Night Mode. Great app but Apple’s white swipe bar at the bottom needs to be autohidden or colors to match the screen when in Night Mode. I used the app recently in a remote area with excellent visibility of the sky and this the night was very dark (besides the sky and stars). I used Night Mode to not affect my night vision, but the swipe white bar was blinding. I had to use my thumb to block the bright white light on the otherwise red screen. Please disable, auto hide, or recolor the white swipe bar when in Night Mode.

Not supported. Well, it looks like they aren’t supporting this app anymore. I used to have the SkyView lite and enjoyed it enough that when I opened it to use it and the screen wouldn’t move I figured I’d spring for the paid version thinking they weren’t supporting the free one anymore. Silly me, it looks like they aren’t supporting any of them because the screen still wouldn’t move after installing the paid version. After some digging I found their website and the last blog entry was a few years ago during the big solar eclipse so it looks like the developers have given up on this one. Don’t waste your money. Which is too bad because it was a great app when it still worked.

Beautiful!. This app makes stargazing so easy. You can isolate celestial bodies of all sorts: satellites, planets, even the International space station. You can set up alerts so you don't miss special events like comets or meteor showers. It even links to the camera so you can take pictures of, say, a dramatic sunset with the constellations drawn over it. Easy to understand and infinitely fascinating, I highly recommend.

Love this app. I’ve had this app for years and I still use it and can’t say enough great things about it. Whenever we go to the lake and we are looking at the sky I can take my phone out to show everyone what the constellations are and where the planets are. Highly recommend buying the full version. Well worth it!

More than I want to see!. I rated the app lower than I actually enjoy it as a plea to separate the constellations from all the space junk out there! The basic format to enthrall the viewer with the beauty above us, I feel is denigrated by man’s pollution of a pristine environment like Mt. Everest for the sake of achievement! I’d like see the stars and the stuff separated into two apps, or add ons. I’d pay for the ones I want for the experience, or information, I want. It is a great app —- make it better! Please!

Fun and smart!. The only problem I have is that I stay up too late to catch the rising stars and planets and my neighbors might think I’m a little off looking at the sky with my phone. I love this app and find it seriously addicting but in the best way. I highly recommend this app for anyone who likes to watch the sky and isn’t sure what they are seeing. Great fun for novices like myself. Look and learn!

Absolutely five star. I’ve been into amateur astronomy since I was a kid and never dared even imagine something so cool as Skyview on an iPhone. It tracks everything and is especially useful with satellite visibility. I don’t know how they got a hemispherical sky on a flat jPhone display but they have. And the free version if you want to check it out is great, although the extra couple of bucks to upgrade is money well spent. It’s great

Absolutely Amazing💥✨🌔. This is simply one incredible app! I travel all over and use it everywhere. The information on so many objects can keep me occupied for hours. This app identifies everything from old rocket bodies to satellites to every star you can see. It has worked flawlessly from the day I installed it and would highly recommend this app to anyone with any curiousity at all about the night sky👍👍

Fun. I like the app. Would like to be able to type in search bar using English, not Greek alphabet prefixes. This necessitates installation of a Greek Keyboard. A little difficult to click on the intended object at times, particularly on an iPad 2. It’s a bit easier on iPhone 7+ but I like the screen size better on the iPad due to my poor eyesight. This is not a negative review as I enjoy the app. Rather just some suggestions to make it simpler to use.

Heaven knows. What great way to see the heavens all mapped out what He has done. The placements of the stars and the planets, who ever knew that these are arranged in a way that we can all admire. For the developer who designed it, that we can all use to look up and see where all are, thanks for making it possible for us. Absolutely no problem using the technology we can all share.

App Icon. I happened to notice that the app icon shows Ursa Major having only six stars connecting with the constellation lines instead of seven. It’s a small detail that I noticed being a little off but I have no complaints about the app itself. I have been using it for quite some time and absolutely love it!

It worked better before…. The app worked much better before when I first downloaded the app some years ago. With my iPhone 14 Pro, which I thought it’d work fine with this phone, it continues to “unmap” and I have to manually correct the position over and over and it continues to misconfigure and it’s so annoying. I can hardly find anything in the sky when the app is pointing me in the wrong direction, and I don’t know how to fix this.

Such Magic!. Use this app to regain your sense of awe and wonder as well as to be amazed at the exquisite minds of those who developed this app that allows one to identify not only what the objects are in the sky above beyond our atmosphere, but ever so much more information of where one is in relation in relation to the the heavens. This is great for curious learners who love the beauty of our universe.

Best Astronomy App. I’ve used this app for years now and I’ll never stop using it. It is definitely the best star gazing app I’ve seen. I love that it gives facts about every object in the solar system. It is also cool that it can show where objects will be at what time and date. It is always on point with the sky and the objects line up perfectly. I love it, five stars!

Must have for any star gazer. Great fun and great features. Was in Key West recently, wanted to see the Southern Cross. You just simply search for the constellation, push on it on your phone, and then you’ll be able to see the arc it tracks on the sky, and what time it will be above the horizon. It told me that at 6:00am it would be visible and sure enough- I woke up early one morning and was able to see it!

THIS APP IS AWESOME!!!!. My phone just met a horrible fate and I went to download this app again thought I was running on the free version, and it was like, “hey dummy you done paid for the full version”. Recently I found out there are morons who think the earth is flat. I bought this app years before I heard of such ignorance. Everyone needs this app. At night there is too much light pollution and I don’t ha e an observatory. This app is amazing. I opened it during the 2018 solar eclipse and this past January during the “total lunar wolf blood lunar eclipse”. I use it to identity constellations in the north and used it to teach me the small and Big Dipper and how to use two points in the Big Dipper to find the pole star. BTW women love it when you can point out stars. It also showed me the convergence between mercury and Jupiter and that was cool.

Perfect to use along side a telescope. I've been using this app to accompany my night sky viewing with a telescope. It has been very helpful in letting me identify stars and constellations that I have been unfamiliar with. The paid version is definitely worth while. Not only will it show you all the celestial objects above the horizon, like Messier objects, but it will also show you where a bunch of man made space junk is floating above your head.

Access to the cosmos has never been so...Universal!. If you're looking for an amazing app that does a fantastic job at directing you across the celestial sphere, SkyView is your final destination. This app is easy to use, accurate, and includes tons of great information regarding the celestial bodies you are searching for! I could not recommend a better app, and I definitely suggest the full version if you're a hunter of more distant bodies such as Uranus and Neptune.

Potentially a great app. The reason I have rated this app only one star is simply because the location guiding services is far from being accurate. For example, if you are trying to locate the ISS or Tiangong 1, the app is not accurate, it can be off as much as 90 degrees. I am not sure why this is the case as it uses the same location system in each iOS device, resulting in troublesome identification if you are not a seasoned or experienced astronomer. I like the app, but there is another app that provides real time accurate location of any object your may wish to observe. If you know how to locate the object in mind, I would rate the app much higher.

More!!!. This is my top favorite app. I’ve been able to memorize and catalog the stars in my neighborhood with ease and learn about the classifications of stars etc. This all is really helping me orient myself on Earth!😊 One aspect I’d really appreciate if you guys would add are more asteroids & different ways to view, for example if we were on Mars then what would the sky look like from there? Similar to the Solar System Scope app. I’d buy IAP for more info! Thank you so much for your great work✨

Screen not moving. I have always loved this app. I’ve had it since middle school (7 years ago) and it’s always worked amazingly. Last night I opened it to use it for the Geminid shower, and the stars/screen is frozen. It opens in one place, and no matter how much I move my screen, the view stays in one place, not allowing me to find the constellations I’m trying to find. It’s disappointing that I paid for this being that it doesn’t work. I deleted and reinstalled the app, and checked for an update, and nothing works. I hope it gets fixed ASAP!

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. This app simply does exactly what I want it to. And thanks to this app, I can now look up into the night sky and recognize the majority of what I see and understand my physical relation to the constellations. The music is ethereal - I’ll sometimes just let it playing and meditate with the frequencies. You will also be able to see the WASTE that NASA has deposited into LEO.

Worked great for 2 days. So, I’ve used the free app for years. I’ve always enjoyed it quite a bit. Figured I’d go ahead and buy this version and it was freaking awesome, for about two days. The information is great, it’s very informative and fun to use if it works. It quit working, I’ve recalibrated my internal compass numerous times, and skyview just doesn’t register it. The compass works fine for things like Maps, my other AR/VR games. I emailed the company and never got a reply. If you can get it to work, it’s amazing. But it’s a bummer when it doesn’t. 😒😒

Cool app!. I’ve recently really gotten into stargazing and this app is really cool! The only reason I did four stars is because although there is an augmented reality setting, I really wish there was a setting where half of my screen is the app’s sky info and the other half is my phone’s actual camera - this way I can actually pinpoint exactly which star or planet I’m seeing out at night!! I also wish there was a tracker on what phase the moon is in, and when it will next be full or new. Other than that, this is a really neat app!
