Best Solar System Guide Ever!. Hello. I’d like to share with you a story that just proves this app is the best solar system guide ever. It was a really late night during the summer of 2018. My sister, my mom, my dad and I were catching fire flies. I thought I saw the North Star, but SkyView Lite showed it was Venus in front of my house! Then next to it, I saw Jupiter, the moon, and Mars! And the app is completely free! This app never shows adds. With most solar system apps, it shows you what you are pointing the camera at (like if you pointed your camera at your patio, you would see your patio), or apps might show you a fake sky (like if it was in the middle of the day, it would show the sunset), but this app has a setting that you can see the pitch black starry sky in space! This app does not need WiFi, and you can use it all day, every day! Any time, any place, as long as you have your device. I hope this was a helpful review.

Completely Satisfied! But one thing should be added.. Overall I love this app, it has a bunch of stuff I love and like. I found it very sad that you couldn’t see Uranus or Neptune for free, nor can you see the whole solar system which is very sad for some people. But I love the apps design and the way it works! I recommend downloading this app! 100% works (Not click-bate) One idea I have make at least the planets and dwarf planets free!!! You would get a lot more users if you did this!!

One of the best apps I have ever used. To be able to point to the sky no matter when and where and see what is around you in the skies - planets, stars, galaxies, satellites and even Hubble telescope and international space station- that is something best left for individual experience. This is innovative usage of technology at its best. For those of us who have pointed optical telescopes into skies and fiddle around with controls for diurnal adjustments etc. the power of this app is even more appreciable. Great work! Thank you ! Definitely switching to paid version as a token of appreciation even though the free version is perfectly fine without any crass commercialization.

Love This App!!!. Over the years I’ve had a curiosity about our solar system and galaxy and our relationship to them but not enough time to dig in and do the research to grasp a better understanding. This app has opened the door to spur of the moment excitement and “ahh-ha” moments (first on a camping trip in N. Michigan). I can’t say enough good things about it! My favorite so far is how it shows the arcs that the planets and stars seemed to take in our sky as we rotate on our axis and how it shows how everything in the northern hemisphere seem to revolve around Polaris and why that star must have been so important to early astronomers trying to figure all this out - using whatever their “apps” were! Last night my wife and I decided to go buy a sun dial!

Good, some reviews may not be true.. This is the best app! It has most stars, all planets, and most galaxies and etc., though some may need to be purchased (I just got it so I dunno.) Some people say that it’s fake because they can see through objects, but it uses a built in compass in your device. Make sure that you don’t have a case with magnets or a magnet literally touching the device, or it will freak out. If lights make it hard to see, block the camera and it’ll be fine. Overall, I’d very highly recommend it, and (this is a little add) if any readers reading this play Roblox, go to settings on Roblox, then go to groups, then search “TrainsHains” in groups. I have several groups that may be recommended, and if anyone has builder’s club join the Alan Jackson group so I can give it to u because I switched from country music to alternative. So about the app, I’d say ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (five stars) and a 👍🏻

Feeling starry eyed might cry a little. My family had just made the move from the densely crowded and sky polluted New York City (or Yonkers, the unofficial sixth borough) to New Mexico, a state that proudly wears the title of official Night Sky sanctuary and is optimal for constellation viewing due to the low population density and high elevation. I’m not going to lie, when my daughter pointed out the Big Dipper (or Ursa Major) I got a tad emotional. I downloaded the app to confirm our suspicions and were both pleasantly surprised to make out the Little Dipper only a little ways from his bigger friend. We never knew the two bears were so close to one another. Star gazing really does make for a humbling experience and I’m glad this app was able to help us navigate the starry night sky. My parents marveled at the accuracy of the gps. My 11 year old daughter was also able to find her zodiac sign, Leo, and I think this helped fuel a genuine interest in the cosmos. ✨💖

Descent for tracking celestial bodies. This is very precise and accurate. This can actually tell you when to look for planets, moon, etc. The only problem is that they charge you to see Uranus and Neptune, and upgrade to premium version. However, this is great if Saturn is all you are looking for. I spotted it with the unaided eye and viewed it through 7x35 binoculars. I just got a telescope, so I am going to see how this app is beneficial for viewing the ringed planet. I also spotted the Andromeda galaxy, but with 7x magnification, it just looks like a star. This also helped me to spot the Big Dipper etcetera. This can spot a few foreign galaxies and many stars. It also shows where some nebulae are. The conclusion: I give this app 5 stars for its accurate predictions.

Better than a Star Wheel. This is an amazing app. I have used this to teach children and adults. I like the settings for the most part. I am usually using it outside while standing, so the free control without turning isn’t an issue, but I can see how some might not like that features control, but when I was a kid, we had a plastic wheel that you needed to see where stars were. I just saw one in a store and it was $25, this app is free, technology is amazing and the people who made this are a blessing.

Just Get the App. 👽🖤. Get comfy, we’ll be here a while. Here I go.... I started using SkyView about a week ago, and I love it! I have always been amazed by constellations and space in general, and this app made me even MORE excited about stars. (I know what you’re thinking, “What’s so cool about stars?” But bear with me. ) I discovered SkyView one day as I stood outside of my house, stargazing with my mom, and we watched Orion-my FAVORITE constellation. My mom and I wanted to be able to find other constellations besides the ones we already knew. So, I looked for stargazing apps and found a bunch that seemed too good to be true. that is, until I found SkyView. Its description is super accurate and helpful. It’s great if you want to teach someone or yourself about the night sky. This app helps relive my curiosity about almost ANYTHING that’s out there in the great abyss we call space. Won’t it be awesome if one day you can just open an app and see a FREAKING ALIEN PLANET?! Anyway, I just wanted to say that SkyView doesn’t get enough praise at all. It’s just such a fun, exiting and educating app. Thank you SkyView!!! -Lizzie👽🖤

SkyView Lite!. So some people are confused about how there are constellations on objects and/or pointing on the ground. The earth is round, and you are not the only person that can see stars, the stars are all around you but you can’t see them because you are in a different place. You also might see a star/planet above you’re head, then right next to you, that is because earth is rotating and planets are also moving. The app is not fake, the constellations are in the right spot, some starts might be too dim, or light are too bright. You also can’t have any interference with magnets or you’re compass might not work. If you want to check if it’s real or working, then look in the sky (without the app) and find a constellation within the app. I’ve had zero problems with this app, and everything seems to be right, you might need to update it to find more stars. I 100% recommend SkyView Lite! (Also the Big Dipper is in a bear constellation)

Great performance for free app. SkyView Lite is stellar. It provides an augmented reality that shows planets of our solar system, the famous constellations (Orion, Ursa Minor and Major, Virgo, Libra, etc.), the Hubble telescope, the ISS, and many other stars. The stars and planets each have a charted course in reference to the Earth’s rotation and time. When a star or planet or object is tapped, it provides general information about the tapped object and can be expanded upon with an upward swipe, with a detailed picture and detailed information. Although these pictures aren’t 3D renderings that you can turn and observe, as is the case with many other apps. Aside from that, only the main solar system’s planets are shown, as well as only “important” stars. This is okay, however, because if all the stars were to be shown, then the screen would show nothing but. This app is certainly a great performing app, especially for one that is free.

It’s great if you understand it but.... It needs an update. Calibration is always wrong and gets more and more wrong even when set properly it changes. Manual Calibration doesn’t work either. As for understanding how it works, most of the bad ones star reviews are idiots who don't understand this app works spherically, meaning stars and planets on the ground is the other side of the earth dumb***. The data isn’t wrong. Nothing is false about it. That’s calibration issues and people being morons. “I have stars in my house” no. You don’t. You’re just dumb. Probably tell people the earth is flat too. Ive used this app for several years. iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and currently iPhone SE. I’d like to give 4.5 stars. But I’ll rate as 5.

Very Helpful. I’m not sure why some people are giving bad reviews and are vexed, but it is a amazing app if you want to start stargazing. I myself have not bought the full version, but I am looking forward to getting it. Some people are having technical issues involving calibration problems, but I have not run into that issue and I just think it has something to do with their phone and not the application. If you are thinking about getting this app I highly recommend downloading if you are beginning to start stargazing or astronomy. 11/10 app!

Best astronomy App for iOS!. I got this free app on my iOS 8plus. To give everyone some technical back story to my review. I downloaded it and then never really opened it after that. So about tonight’s ago my husband and I were up late and I was outside our apartment looking up at the black sky and open the app. I absolutely love that it shows you the actual planets like Saturns rings Jupiters swirling gases real color! I love the features on the settings for it being a free app as well so much so that I spraying for the $1.99 And purchase the app. Love it love it love it!!!!

Great app. I’ve had this app for years and I love it. My 3 year old daughter loves it too. I really like how you have access to more information of the stars, planets and constellations when you click on the info. I’ll go down the rabbit hole of outer space info from time to time because of it. My only minor complaint is that it doesn’t show the constellation on the app directly over the actual constellation in the sky. I’ll try calibrating it again. Not a big deal anyway.

Teach don't Preach. WARNING:This may be offensive to fools. -When I became a father each day I learned from my kids, through this learning came the desire to pay attention to details, without losing sight of the true, the right ,and the real ,the big things - This App., brings the nature of the universe, from peas to planets into a fathers toolbox, naptime becomes "wow" time...that's a big deal. That's the difference between fathers and daddy's- A father of a child may only exist in dreams or stories but daddy knows what I mean. He's right there for it all, Daddy's teach their kids the truth, daily, in person. If ya have children (moms too sorry🤣) you're gonna need all the help you can get- GREAT TEACHERS HELPER!! for teachers who love to learn❤️🤓⚡️

Not complaining but. I think this app is great, only comment I would like to share is, and I have not tried to click on the image of a constellation, but I would like it if the app could give multiple names if applicable to constellations, for example the big and Little Dipper that most people of my age in my area grew up knowing and being able to point out to parents and peers, I’m not constantly using this or any app, but when outdoors and in the presence of friends I like to introduce them to the insights that SkyView offers, but it’s simple little things like I have yet to see, I am positive I have, but the app does not tell me when I’m focused on the North Star, which I understand has a different name but I’m not an astrologer, I could be wrong, and disregard anything I said that’s false. Still awesome app, now I’m going outside to either reassure myself or prove myself wrong

Amazing!. SkyView has helped me learn information about constellations, planets, and the sun. All you have to do it move your phone around and it shows you where every planet is. It is very exact and updates very often. It shows you every constellation, star, and planet. There is a very detailed look of each of the planets and now I know them very distinctly. This app os great for everyone who is interested in the night sky and our solar system. Great app to download. Everyone enjoys!

Directionally challenged.. As cool as this app is, the compass seemed to be pointing in the opposite direction. I was at the beach when I was trying this out and it kept telling me I was facing west when the beach that I was at is facing east. They need to fix this. Then I wrote this observation above, this was quite sometime ago (2+years) and the app stopped working completely for me while I had my iPhone 6s Plus. It was always showing the same constellation at the same location, so basically it was frozen and despite me restarting my phone or even redownloading the app again and then shutting off my phone, it still was frozen. Now that I just got a much needed new iPhone and was going through the apps I don’t need and came across this one I haven’t touched in ages and downloaded it and it works fine. So I’m assuming that this app is no longer compatible with older iPhones which is a shame app developers do this since it forces people to get a new phone if enough of their apps don’t work on their phone. Maybe not particularly this app since it’s not a necessity, but there are others out there that are and do this.

Priceless. I have a great amount of respect for the people that put work behind this app. From the infinite wealth of knowledge in regards to the cosmos, the degree of honesty and disclosure in revealing the positioning of all the junk we’ve accumulated in the search for the stars. That rant aside. This app came to my awareness during the great conjunction. The view of Jupiter and Saturn dancing behind the centaur are some of my favorites. Making it a valuable resource to those interested in the energies from our galactic community. Know that a prominent planet is nestled in your sign can be informative. Your discovery is only limited by your desire.

As awesome as the universe!. SkyView Lite has brought me hours of enjoyment. My love affair with the heavens started as a child and has continued to grow my entire life. As a military pilot and open water sailor I’ve had so many opportunities to view the sky. I used to carry a field guide book with me. For the last couple of years SkyView has offered me an amazing learning experience, one of completely amazing immersion. It’s also amazing to watch the faces of friends when we’re just sitting around outside and I open the app. I love and appreciate this app. It’s stunning.

Love SkyView. I use this app every chance I get. When I’m out for a walk at night, which is often, I go into the app and because I live in Los Angeles where only the brightest stars are visible it’s like being in the middle of nowhere where the Milky Way is prominent in the sky. I also love it because I can track the position of the international space station’s orbit so that when it’s above the skyline at night I can watch it go by on a clear night. It’s amazing. Definitely add this to your repertoire of apps. You won’t be disappointed.

The most amazing App on my phone!. I can spend hours on this App without realizing that it’s been that long. I’m a little curious as to why Mars, Jupiter and Venus are so visible to the naked eye right now. I live in Tennessee and was outside tonight checking all three of them out. I have used SkyView for over a year now and this is the first time I’ve ever been able to see three of our planets at one time just by looking up. It’s freaking AWESOME! To be fair though, I wouldn’t be able to identify them without SkyView!!☺️ By the way, today is July 4th, 2018

SkyView Lite. I’ve been an amateur astronomer on & off (as usual life responsibilities permit) for over 65 years. When I’ve been away from enjoying clear night skies for a number of years, this app is easier than good star charts for a quick re-familiarizing myself with the constellations. Just aim your iPhone, centering the small circle/reticle as though you were taking a picture of the constellation you’re interested in, and star & constellation names appear on the screen. That basic function alone is worth the price of admission.

nice app but beware of phone case magnet closures. I really like this app. However, I almost deleted it because it wasn’t working with my iPhone 8 Plus. The help FAQs suggested that I calibrate the compass. Well, when I tried to calibrate the compass, it wasn’t working either! After I did a little research on the web, I found out that If you have any type of case that has a magnet closure, the compass will not work, therefore, the Star view app will not work either because it depends on the compass and the GPS. This should be one of the first things mentioned in their help/support/faqs! I have a really nice leather wallet case that holds credit cards and it has a small magnet closure in the upper right corner. if I take the iPhone out of the case this app works like a charm. I don’t think this is the fault of the app. I think it’s just nature. Magnets typically screw up compasses 😊

Illuminating app! Lights up nightlife!. What a great app! Definitely worth getting this app! Even the free version gives great info. Just hold up phone and find out what stars or constellations are above you. You can also see those ‘below’ you on other side of planet. (Great for astronomy followers. What is your sun sign birthday girl? It’s the one under you.) great way to engage kids with nature. Fun to see Skylab. Great way to kill time if outdoors and waiting on line. Gets people excited rather than bored while waiting. Love the app.

A Lot of Information!!! Works!. I just watched the International Space Station. It was awesome. Brightest moving star, no blinking, no noise. Took about 25 seconds to watch from the edge of trees overhead where I am. But...the app was off in its timing by about 30 seconds. It showed that it had passed already, and I was about to give up, when it did show up. And the tracking of the ISS orbit was off a bit too, although it paralleled what I saw pretty close. I read in another review about this, so I guess it's not EXACT but could be better if a description about time delay was offered. My confidence in looking at other satellites is now off a bit now, if I had not seen the ISS first.I texted with a good geeky friend who is in to space, and he confirmed what I saw. It was great to see the ISS. Well worth it.

The best but.... It's a good I love it so my tablet I my dad has the full Version but I do not are usually use a full Version of SkyView Lite. Mustley I use the app but how do you ern more Space object? I think you are supposed to do 10 Times on the app, and some times purchase it. Stel the best so so so so so so so so so so so good app! I just whus on the app but it sad White a rating the app. But I did mostly REVIEW so I did rat the app. Then I text Jada Scott like I'm a Scott to do it but doing this my mom came and I whus just watching the sims 4 by greystillplays a min ago SkyView Lite. You get to explore space. And search for Galisys planets in the solar system and more! The best app but my tablet about to die so that's it.

Simply the best in my estimation. I enjoy celestial photography and because of that I find myself looking skyward more than ever before. Five apps support my interests. I am aware when planets appear close to one another, when ISS or Starlink is within my view and when meteor showers will occur. To prepare to photograph these events and know their paths I find SkyView my preferred app. It’s easy to operate, allows me to track objects of interest, determine when they will come into view. If I want a moonrise over the water I can be at that point on land, free of obstructions and artificial light when the object first breaks over the horizon. Wonderful app.

Awesome App! A Must Have!. This is a great app for anyone of any age! And what's better than an amazing, beautiful, FREE app?! It's simple and easy to use, which makes it accessible for all. I love the soothing background music too! I have used this app for about 5 months now, and I can't stop using it! I always use this app when I want to find a certain star, galaxy, or planet in the sky, and it's always worked. I would recommend this app for anyone who's into astronomy, like myself. Overall, awesome stargazing app! Recommendations to make this app even better: - add more facts about the overall sky objects! ( I want to learn more about space, and so do other people) - add a reminders mode where we can get notified if there is going to be a comet, eclipse, or meteor shower. - add a star-finder mini game for younger kids to get involved in astronomy! (Have a set of plants, constellations, and stars, for young kids to find while using the app)

Virtual Reality. I love this app. I really have found it useful in many different time during the beginning of my curiosity into astronomy began. For example, this app has allowed me to locate Saturn and view the planet with the rings right through my backyard telescope On multiple occasions. This app allows for an immersive and breathtaking experience, on an encounter with the stars. However, I do believe the app is lacking a fundamental component that, in 2017, it should already have. I believe this app should have virtual reality integrated into its game face. In order to allow users to obtain a more integrated, breathtaking, and interactive view with the stars. It sometimes seems as well, that be in large constellations often block the view of any stars, I suggest setting that can rid of the constellation tracing. Finally, do you speak on any specifics. I would suggest an option to change the music tomorrow relaxing and euphoric socks. Other than that the app is wonderful and has been used by myself another friends for months.

Love knowing what’s in the nighttime sky. For years I’ve been frustrated by my inability to remember where constellations are from season to season. And I was never sure whether I was looking at planets or stars. Even the free version of this app is so handy that I can’t believe it’s really free. You can locate all the celestial objects and constellations, even if they are not above the horizon where you are. Plus, you can find Hubble and the ISS, which are really exciting to watch fly over, for me at least. This is a real treat to use on any clear evening. My friends think I’m some kind of astronomer genius because I can tell them so much about what’s in the sky at any time.

Love the skies? This app’s for you!. I’ve had this for around two years now and just got around to a review. When I am outside chilling and it’s dark, one of the first things that come to mind has been to pull out this app. Friends and family alike have loved exploring the night sky with me using the app!!! I never spent as much time as I wanted to study the stars when I was younger, and this app really gives me the opportunity to feel like a curious child again :) Being able to see a bright star and then identify it has made me just a little bit closer to nature, I think!

Vintage Points. I don't see why, space has to be viewed from the center point of planet Earth, why can't we get a different vintage point. Take Mars for example, looking back at planet earth. - this is something that bothers me, this same prospective of mine can and should be added in the real estate industry revealing views from a mountain(s) looking back towards the coordinates of interest. Google Earth, and other earth Maps Should be added for us to view earth from Mars or the moon. With a zoom in effects to give the user a 3D experience of their searched option of any plants, moons, stars, etc. A more in depth user experience to really dive into and explore the unknown places they wish to study on. With all the information of the world combined in a organized manner, as if a human was to first click on planet earth for the first time. Let's say for example, that he/she was born on Mars or the moon. So he/she would see who and what lives on planet earth, by all the information provided over a span of time in the world wide web. The same should/will be true for any plant selected through any Space exploration Application. This will prove to be readily available and useful as we as a human race, race to Mars to colonize and grow together in knowledge and in power.

OMG. Oh my God I love this app I’ve seen so many stars I am seven and I I just love it it it it help me pass turn on my planet test I love it it’s just like my number 1M0 my God it’s awesome it’s really really check it out I love it so much and seriously I don’t do anything else but go on this app I am not lying this is not a scam it is the best app in the world you have to get it if you have interest get on it right when you get it and you will love it you’re just on my God she will love it and you will just like be like oh my God I really am glad I listen to her. So yeah I’m just like so yeah this is awesome I just want to move this thing around all day I don’t wanna go to school or anything I’m just looking at the stupid app and I’m just like oh my God it’s awesome literally get it is legit

Out of sync. I visit Sky View daily, mainly to check on the whereabouts of the ISS. Then I began to realize that the ISS was not in the correct location. I know this because I visit other sites as well and when it crosses my longitude and is not directly North or South I know something is wrong, also when it is showing to be overhead and is not something is out of adjustment. What I don’t understand is how this could happen with the capacity you have at hand? I have noticed that every so often someone makes corrections, but within a month it will again wander out of bounds. Thank you, hope you can correct this major problem, who knows what else may be out of sync?

I love this app. Ever since I was a Youngster I have been fascinated with the stars. I used to crawl onto the top of the house or in a tree just to observe and Yes I got in trouble for it sometimes. I started this adventure when I was about four. I am now Sixty Six years young and was introduced to this app by a good friend who is a jet fighter trainer pilot in the Euro Nato Pilot Training Program at Sheppard Air Force Base. We were talking about the Stars one night and I told him my story and about having a telescope and he turned me on to this app. I use it quite frequently and really enjoy it. Five Stars from me. Thank You

I love it!! But... I love the app honestly there’s nothing like it if you love stars and looking at the constellations this is the app for you. it’s so realistic for example if the app tells you the sun is is this area and you you point it, the sun would actually be there., same thing with the moon. My only issue is that I wish you guys had the option to show every constellation that’s visible. As well as an option to have the Ecliptic line or more lines, because it only shows the horizontal line. I hope in the near future those things could be add.

❤️ I love it but 1 thing. I really like SkyView with all the music and the in-app purchases (I installed one) and more. But there’s one more thing, it is not going to stop me from loving it though. It is just that all of the things are not I in right order. I know what you’re thinking though: “why didn’t you use the manual” Well I did and it still didn’t work. It’s because it’s up and down instead of left to right. So if you could fix it or make the manual up and Down, that would be a perfect 👍 & ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.

Absolutely Wonderful!. Just aim you phone at any area of the sky and this app shows you nearly every prominent object in the sky. No more wading through books, charts, or slow websites. Center an object in the screen and it’s name appears. The augmented reality feature can overlay images of planets and constellations. These features can be individually turned on and off. Also capable of showing satellite locations too. You can even use this inside to show what’s in the sky outside your house. Just move your phone around and watch the screen. Really fun. Rekindling my interest in astronomy without the hassle.

Do not work. The app is non-functional in directions. When you pointed at the moon to get some sense of bearing, the moon is off by 3 to 4 hands width . Then when your foot wanna find a consolation, you have to literally stack three hands and kind of recognize what constellation you’re looking at. I’ve tried to use their fix tool and it doesn’t work. The only thing that seems to work is if I tilt the phone at an angle knowing exactly where the moon is and then hold my arms out still and move it kind of two were the constellation is or the satellite is I want to find and then I have to eyeball . Otherwise, this thing doesn’t work it’s an interesting little star chart, but come on let’s have the four points hooked up to to a basic GPS or a GPS compass to give us some remote location. I have an old army, Compass, and I know where north is, and I just get out a protractor and can find any star faster and more exact than this thing. It would be nice if somebody fix this, but this is assine. Let me give you some reference Dow farthest thing is off. If you point dead north, it will almost give you, East. Is the correct answer. It’s freaking insane

Feel like a kid again. I’ve always been into space as far as the science side of it and i love the stars but never learned about constellations, because i didn’t know how to. i found out about this and downloaded it the other day, went outside on a clear night and that was the most childlike imagination i’ve ever had in a while, being able to see Orion and gemini and the bright stars. I thought this would just tell me descriptions of stars but it shows you an exact copy of the sky you see and draws out the constellations. i’m so happy!!

Simple and basic. I have a 6 year old boy that loves space. His obsession started with Star Wars, believe it or not!bhe has been to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama. I downloaded this app over the summer so we could stargaze together with something interactive (he's a hands on boy and just looking up at the sky is boring to him). He loves this app. My mom ended up getting him a telescope and it just got delivered today. Without her knowing, the telescope actually supports this app. How perfect! Lol can't wait to use these two products together.

Skyview is a total bust!. Is there anything worse than opening up a purchased app and all you get is a page that tells you to upgrade? You just dropped a couple bucks, and the app wants you to know you got nothing, so you gotta upgrade, an additional $5 bucks. You can’t use the app because you have too many additional costly add ins. It should bother you that you can’t use the app, because you are too distracted because you were mislead and your anger is now a matter you will take to your credit card company. I get angry then I get even. But I never get to view the stars, and this should be called out as a bunch of high tech theft. You guys now have an enemy. Nothing I hate more than getting ripped off. For you guys I will make it a mission to alert others just how it feels to get nothing.

Explore your surroundings!. I love being able to open this app whenever I see a star or constellation that I want to know more about or become familiar with. I’ve used this app on and off for a few years now but in the last few months with so much more dark time in the northern hemisphere, I have used it almost daily. I like to quiz myself and the app helps me grade my responses. I also use it to teach my two year old about the wonders in the night sky. We love it! Her favorite star: Vega. My favorite star(s): The winter triangle; Sirius, Betelgeuse, and Procyon. I love the option to display or hide constellation lines or artwork, and love that I can either show or hide the actual surroundings that my camera can see. This app is great, I highly recommend it. There’s almost nothing I would change about it except maybe if there was a way to add a link in the facts area of a selected object to either the Wikipedia page or some other information source for further knowledge exploration.

Disappointed. I was upset that I thought I had to pay for it. So I did. Just started using the paid version. So I do not know yet if it is worth it. I’m sure it will be. On that note, the free version wasn’t working for me. Again I thought it was on them. It might not have been. All it did was music and an N on the center. Paid for the new one. The way to fix the problem is turn your phone off an back on. So I probably didn’t need to pay. Either way, I really enjoy this app. Thank you and hope I helped someone out with fixing the same problem I had.

One of the main reasons I use my phone. I have used this app for a couple years now, and I cannot say that there is an app I have used for the same amount of time that has brought me more joy, excitement, and satisfaction than this one. It allows my never ending curiosity to be aided in a way that leads to discovery. Which I think is absolutely awesome. I would call myself an amateur astrophotographer, and this app helps me out a bunch. It is also really helpful to be reading a section of the textbook for my current astronomy class, and be able to whip this app out and find what star or galaxy we are talking about. I do wish it would give you a better look into the future, being able to project where certain stars, galaxies, or nebulae will be in a larger scope of time. I am practicing taking shots of the heart of the milkyway, but I still have about a month or two until it will be near that time where I live. I'd like to be able to plan a bit more for my shots, so I end up on safari searching for the right info to help me out. I feel that would be a modest addition to the app.

Awesome app. I haven’t been using this app for over a month yet but it’s still is up there on “the best app on my phone”. I can see the Hubble Space Telescope, The ISS, and I’m planing on buying either one of the satellite packs. My only complaint is that if you are a kid like me, and like things like satellites, The ISS, etc. you have to ask your parents to buy it for you and so while I’m typing this I realize that it’s actually not that bad to ask for something that helps you learn about space. But in conclusion, this is a good app for someone that likes star gazing or someone that likes satellites or for someone that needs a hobby or just for a fun pastime. 😎😎😎

Must Have for Night Sky’s. I’ve always had a version of this application on three phones over the years. They are simple and have never a problem. Just the right amount of information without a cluttered sky. !EXCEPT! in the case of the Moon. Instead of panning through the sky and coming upon the moon, and getting to actually view it or any relevant data, what you are subjected to is some infomercial and glamour picture of some lady cluttering the view and hawking her latest self-indulgent audio ramble that you can’t get rid of, since there’s no way to dismiss her so that you could view the moon by it’s ____ing self! Other than that glaring inconsistency, this is overall a well made application, which I would recommend for everyone to maintain a version on all of their iOS devices for the sake of curiosity if nothing else. Point of the sky and answer once and for all with that light is that you see...

Incredible.. This is a simply wonderful app that shows us our universe and explains it all incredibly. I love looking at the stars when I’m feeling stressed or anxious, and it really helps calm me down. I love looking at this because it reminds me of how beautifully God made our universe! It’s also very interesting to see what planets are in orbit and where the satellites and Hubble Telescope are and all of that info 😅 this is an AMAZING app, and I really think you should get it. I generally only ever write reviews to complain, but this one really deserves the compliment! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for the really awesome experience!! Good job, dev(s)!

Great App But. Now, i love this app and it’s really cool seeing what’s out there. But why do i have to pay $8:00 to get Uranus and Neptune and a bunch of other stuff. It would be cooler if you just added the two ice giants into the lite app for free.

Better more accurate apps out there. tL;dr - sky object inaccuracies, not worth it. Doesn’t matter what iDevice I use, it’s woefully inaccurate; as others have mentioned. Even when using other apps to manually enter your location, like GPS apps and sat hardware, it’s still out by several minutes and degrees. This app only seems to uses AR without a free scroll around to look and adjust what your looking at (without moving the device around). If Apple, amount other apps, can get by location within a few meters, this app should too. Even manually entering the coordinates, the object locations are still off. The menu system is clunky and not that intuitive or populated compared to other apps of this type. I found the FAQ that mentions the inaccuracies but that was all the help about using the device unless you turned on help bubble; from inside the menu (I forget where). It also seems to be designed for small phones and devices only. A plus is the small install size, <90mb (at time of review) and it’s not a subscription model if you go full version. However, the inaccuracies of the app let it down completely.

Beginner. I’m a real astronomy beginner and I’ve found this app really accurate and helpful. Thanks for making it available.

Amazing. This app blows my mind I love it I have not had any problems at all with this app. The app has a wealth of information and I’m using the free version. When you open the app and point to the sky it joins up the stars showing all the horoscopes AMAZING

Ridiculously awesome. This app makes finding object in the sky so easy. It’s easy for all ages and makes learning astronomy fun. I’m loving following the ISS and Hubble around ❤️

Good for fun. I saw a bright light in the sky and pointed at it and was getting inconsistent results. Can still see the object, in my experience it is a planet but just not getting accurate data to the app

Wonderful but auto calibration needs work. Absolutely in love with this app. But the auto calibration always seems to be off so I just use the moon as a reference to manually do it. Doesn't take long before I have to do it again - I may be doing it wrong though :)

Now This Is The App I’ve Been Looking For!. I love this app sooo much! It has helped me learn more about space, the stars and the planets. It is also a great app to do with your family. Another thing is how accurate it is. This is a excellent app for every occasion!

Sky view light. It’s really good app for the free version/light version it was all I needed for astronomy the only problem is that the free version doesn’t come with all of the planets but other than that it is a amazing app and I highly recommend it for astronomy or stargazing, I personally use it for astronomy and a really good feature is that you can look forward in time to see where the planets or satellites are.

This is amazing. I’ve never been wealthy enough to buy a good telescope so I could see the stars. This app has fulfilled my dream of seeing those stars closer and learning more about them. I am a 14 year old girl and I go on this more than I do social media. Thanks for this app

Awesome App. When travelling in western Queensland I’m always in this App to chart the night sky. Highly recommend for anyone who loves star gazing.

Stunned. I am absolutely gobbled smacked. It’s the App everyone should have. I’m still in total awe at the fact we can all have this technology at our fingertips in an instance. Glenda

Recommended for feasible star viewing. A brilliant app if you are partial to learning about stars and constellations. The app’s flexibility makes star viewing feasible and can be used as verification to unravel the mystery of equivocal star patterns.

Okay now this is amazing!. This space app is awesome! I 100% know where every planet is now at different times, I saw the moon so I tired it and I know what planets were underneath and I could see the moon on the screen so it’s then correct. It also tells you where ( for example) the moon is on different times. I also really really love the music it’s so relaxing! You could just about fall asleep to it!! It’s amazing overall and if you see this review it’s really good you should download it!

Brilliant!. This is a brilliant app! I recently got into Greek Mythology and learning about the stars and this is the PERFECT app for looking at he stars. It is a little off because if you place your phone down on a flat surface it doesn’t exactly go in the centre of the NESW symbol but it doesn’t bother me! Definitely upgrading!

Love it. Absolutely love it. Great for getting the kids involved. My niece love going out at night & see what it is we are looking up at. She gets very excited when she can see a planet. Great educational app.

Ace!. Amazing sit out under the stars and get to know them a whole lot better. Our future our present and our past is out there! The $1.49'us well worth it for the upgrade to get the satellites tracking too. Awesome!

Amazing App. I have enjoyed the capilities of this App. I saw in the news thay Mars will be at closest distance to earth in october 2020. However, I couldn’t find it un the sky. I easily downloaded Skyview and amazingly found Mars in the sky and been tracking it since then.

Love it. Omg when I first tried this app I love it 10/10 it’s so cool to see where all the planets are and where the star signs are :)

It’s just one of those apps you must use!. Sometimes when life is just a bit too crazy, you just have to look to the heavens.

WRONG INFO! very disappointing.. downloaded the app and within 2 minutes realised it was giving the kids the wrong info about venus. we are in Byron bay australia and the app tells the kids the star rises after sunrise, that is not true in australia i don’t know about america. and our sun here is about to come up as it’s 5.06am, is rises in the east! the app says the west so we’re all completely thrown off and can’t even trust if the app is identifing the correct stars / planets as it can’t seem to figure out where we are?! opposite of educational.

Fantastic App!!. My kids and I absolute love this app!! Almost every night we go outside to have a look at where the planets are located and what all the stars are called. They’ve taken a huge interest in astrology thanks to this app.

Best App for star lovers!!!. Do not waste your money on the star gazing apps that need money! This is a very accurate and beautiful app that taught me many new facts and filled with information about every star! I totally love this app and will use it every night.

Simply Brilliant. After 58 years of living under the stars I can now enjoy them. Thanks so much for a simply brilliant experience!!

It's great. The only extra function I sometimes want is being able to turn off the visual to have a clearer view of the constellations

Wow is all I can say. My husband showed me this the other night when he got home from working out in the outback. And wow I just took a photo of the moon with a plane flying past, simply wow cheers LJ

Amazing to see space and the sky!. I had this app for a seriously long time, I basically had it since age 5! I saw loads of stars and planets and I’m really smart on planets now. I’m glad this app has great studies and I enjoy looking at the stars and planets, I try see em’ every night! This is an awesome app, I can’t find glitches in this so, this app is wonderfully fine. I’m very glad to tell ya’ll, this is one of my top 3 favourite space study apps! Rating #5 stars! ;D

Incredible app. Loving showing kids this app to get them interested in space!

Impressive accessibility. SkyView has set the gold standard for AR app accessibility and shows it can be done without compromise. Maybe the developers could get in touch with Nintendo and show them how Pokemon GO should be done. It feels so heartening when developers commit to making great apps that can be enjoyed by anyone. Thank you so much.

A bringer togetherer. I have a family friend that is sick and we play around with this all the time😊😅: ) Thanks for opportunity

Must have app. Such a fun app that everyone should have on their phones for those nights when you just have to know what that star is? Whether it’s a planet or not. Plus there is some fun extra info on all the stars and planets. Great app!

Love it!! ....but. Fantastic app - I've learned so much about the mysteries of the wild spinning universe. The ....but is the white on black font for the small print. Looks great, really hard to read, especially at night. I've bought a magnifying headset to address this until the app developers read this and address the white font 😁 When you do folks, I'll upgrade!

Best App Ev'ah. I've been delighted with this app since I bought the first version many years ago! The red view is exceptional to save night vision! The updates have never disappointed! Great app! Thanks!

Found this app in a book. Great app, very useful for figuring out what in the night sky is what. I am writing this review because a book I am reading (Exit West by Mohsin Hamid) has what I believe to be a reference to your app! It’s interesting how things that seem unconnected can actually be linked. 😁

ZAR zodiac manual to life. Absolutely incredibly amazing and a must have for any person who resides on planet earth a road map of the universe which will enlighten all who learn our true place and cosmic extistences💫⭐️⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️⭐️💥💥☄️☄️☄️

5/5. This is an original and awesome idea that allows you to find planets and constellations via looking around or searching! Really love it.

Absolutely Brilliant. On my phone forever now!. This is my absolute favourite app at the moment, brilliant design, clearly a lot of thought out put into it by the developers! Has allowed me to ignite a passion to stargaze again!

One of the best. There’s a lot of good Sky apps out there and I have tried a few but this has become my favourite. The calibration is great, night view, augmented reality - very nice 👍🏻

Awesome. Plenty of star gazing and plant finding it's tops I've even got my kids and missus checking out the sky as they have never been interested until NOW I'm telling everyone I know about it and I'm definitely up grading for sure👌👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very helpful App. I love this app! It helps navigating the heavens simple and allows you to pin point anything you’re looking for. The features and settings are easy to use also! I’ve tried about ten or so different Astro and satellite Apps and this is by far the best one I’ve found! I’ve given it five stars because I don’t know how it could be made any better!

Awesome. I love using this app! It shows me where all the planets & horoscope signs are. It's easy to use & my grandchildren & I use it as it confirms what we are looking at in the sky. Excellent app!

Heavenly. Beautiful app. Seeing the stars and planets and sometimes seeing if I can spot my star sign for some amusement. It’s helped me appreciate the heavens more, as well as being a good time waster :)

Nice and easy to use. I’ve had the lite version of this app for about two years now and while I don’t use it every day I still pull it out often enough. It has greatly increased my personal knowledge of the night sky, something that I am slowly imparting upon my two year old.

Completely retract my original review. I made a mistake on my review and completely retract my comment and my opinion and I apologise to the developer and associates I am utterly embarrassed and sorry I have tried to delete my other review but can’t figure it out again I am 101% apologetic to you ,this app is completely what all the other people have said about this app it is awesome

Paid stuff is gone. Was a great app last year but when i opened it in the first time in ages. I no longer have the fewtures i used to? I paid for the app and now i have it for free without all the features i paid for. Was great especially sitting on the besch at night

Amazing. This app is brilliant. You can see the sky like never before if you live in a city. Highly recommended.

SkyView Lite. I love this app. I could spend hours gazing at the night sky, or indeed pointing my phone in random directions at any time of the day to understand where the planets and stars are positioned. Full of interesting facts, helpful graphics, and tracking abilities, I can highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about the solar system, our galaxy, and galaxies beyond.

Easiest app so far. I've tried a few star gazing apps and for someone like me who's interested but not an expert, this app is fabulous. Simple and easy to get going

Good. It’s a great app but for some reason it’s not always working. When I upgraded to the full version it sees to be faulty so I’m back to using this version but it too doesn’t seem to be working. It seems to be stuck on one position. Before I could move around and look at the whole sky now I can’t. I can only look at north aspects.

Great app when you’re outdoors at night.. makes you want to look up and see what that shiny speckle is in the night sky - love it.

True North ?. This app does exactly what they say it will and more , my only complaint is that I have to constantly align my I ph. to North by hand , it will not align by itself.

Easy and amazing. I found it simple to use out of the box it shows you what it says it will. The sound as an amazing affect to it and I love that.

It's a great app!. I love stars and planets, but do you know if theres an option to see Neptune and Uranus?

Does not open anymore. Dear developers. I enjoyed the app for a long time but as of a couple of weeks it doesn’t open anymore. I click on it and it only flickers and doesn’t open. Please fix because I miss watching and learning the stars.

It's 180degrees out. The app is showing me the universe in reverse its 180degrees out. North and south are reversed so I'm sure it's something I should be able to correct but it's not letting me. Is this something iPhone related? I have a 5s. Manual setting doesn't move at all and auto setting gives me the reverse view... I have even set the Center view point on the moon and got the 180 reverse...

Callibration. The calibration is not u to the mark. I trued both, auto and manual but whenever I try to open the app again the calibration is way off the actual position. Please rectify it. Thanks

Bad👎. After a month it wouldn’t let me back in and it sucks but it was good when it worked

Fake. Just hold your phone in front of a wall inside your room, It shouldn’t be even dark. It shows lots of stars and even a satellite!! Its just good for entertainment.

Nice. I really enjoy using this app but why can’t I access the music? It won’t work If it did 5/5

Very nice!. It’s a pretty cool app. Always wondering when you see some cool celestial events, which planets are actually involved. The music suits the thing too.

Inaccurate. You can calibrate it, the moon is on my west and it shows it on my north!

Very Useful. I like stargazing but have a hard time recognizing constellations. The app makes it easy for me to learn the constellations!

wrong. its wrong gives wrong info terrible app DO NOT PURCHASE

Great app. I use this app almost everyday! Love the tracking ability. Very user friendly. Highly recommended!

Fun and interesting. Nice to be able to identify the real stars out there.

I Recommend This App. This app is amazing I always use it for studying but one thing is that the planets are off by a bit

Not accurate. I’m sorry to say, this App does not aling with specific hemispheres. It shares the moon is in one area and we see it in a completely different location. I wish it was more accurate.

Not great. The stars are off and it get really difficult to read and honestly it’s missing some planets.I don’t like how bright it is during the day. It’s a fun app to use though to look at different zodiac signs and looking at the pictures though!

Don’t expect any support. I really enjoyed the paid version of the app, but when I upgrade my phone, the app did not transfer over. After four emails in six months, I have not received a single reply from the company.

Good app. It’s a good app. I like it a lot. Little tricky to use, the icons need to be properly labeled, and a lot of updates. Need to be done. It’s far from up-to-date. there are constellations missing, and no news reports. We have a nova explosion coming up soon that will be visible to the naked eye, and I cannot find any of the constellations that it’s close to, or the stars that are involved.

Use it a lot. Sitting outside by the fire, always use it at least once. Just trying to figure out how to align it with the compass.

Cost?. I am told I purchased this, and would like to know what it cost. But nowhere is the price stated.

IPad does not calibrate. Does not calibrate my IPad automatically. I have to do it manually every time I use the app. Works fine on my IPhone and other IPad.

Doesn’t work. Well on my iPhone doesn’t work at all don’t know why!!!!

No Sutton?. You don't my city listed? Ugh.. please add Sutton West Ontario. I'm not using Barrie, too far away. Thank you

Great!. It was amazing I have it on my other phone it’s better on newer phones but it is accurate at 4:00 am I put it in the sky and I saw the exact outline😍😍😍

Grand Universe. Love the app that shows our planets and stars. Intelligent design that was commanded with a bang!

Works very well. Reading the many comments here complaining that the app shows stars on the ground or in their room seriously concerns me about the state and direction of human evolution. App works very well and displays an accurate rendering of planets and constellations.

Amazing!. Very impressed with this app!! It gives you so much information and so easy to use!!

Terrible. I wish i could give less than one star. It shows you constellations/ stars even if you point it towards the floor or room wall or on people’s face.

App stopped working. App won’t start on iPhone 6s Plus. Uninstall and reinstalling didn’t fix the issue.

Awesome. Really good app little bit tough to use but still good. Could you maybe label the icons so it's easier to to know what dose what.

Helpful. I like it, pretty cool actually

not bad. meh 🫤

Great free version. The free version has no ads, just lots of cool information about our closest “neighbours”. We’re definitely considering upgrading to the paid version to find out more about the incredible universe we live in!

Scan. I got the app and it was adding a bunch of start in for me. There was white dots on the screen and when I put my hand over my camera the white dots stayed. It’s a scam.

Love it but. I like it and stuff but sometimes it’s inaccurate for example when the sun is in south it says it’s north.

Best free stargazing app. Out of the free apps I tried I found this was the best one. After a few years of use, I upgraded to the full version which I’ve found to be well worth the money, but the lite version is amazing as well, just less stars and satellites.

Update. Love your app. Please update to include the Webb telescope!

Star gazer. I really love the app; however the grey titles are extremely difficult to read against the day or night background. Ugh! I think yellow, pink or som neon coloured text would improve my ability to enjoy the app! ❤️☺️

Great App easy to use for everyone. Fun for all, easy to use and very informative for us novice’s. Just point and highlight. Highly recommend for family fun and learning.

amazing. this app is so good to find planets and stars

Amazing. This app allows you to time travel up to 10000 AD and 1 AD and you can change the time from 1:30 AM to 1:30 PM and more. You can change the month and the day. This app helped me find out if I can see Saturn and Jupiter tonight. And it helped me take a picture of Venus in the day. It is really fun to see the future and the past of our planets and other things. This is the free version. I haven’t bought the one that costs money but now I want to. Great app. Keep up the good work guys and girls. Keep it up. And thanks for reading! By

Great astronomy app. A great astronomy app. Worth paying for if you enjoy exploring out universe.

Bro this is fire. Yessir

Great app!. Intuitive to use and you can even search for a star/planet and the app will direct you. Devs did a great job.

Stuck. Can't get past the 'privacy notice' page. Which is also editable by me!

Star watching. Thank you for this beautiful app I love it and planing on getting all the other features you have my wife and I have fun looking and relaxing so if the other parts of the app would be great also we can’t wait to get them append cause it gives us something new to do together please don’t stop there can’t wait to see what you offer thank you please don’t stop there thank again I highly recommend this to all our family and friends

Great app. Sometimes my phone doesnt lnow where north is but cant blame app😀

No words can explain this in a good way but here’s me trying. I love this app so incredibly much! It shows me where all the stars are, there names, and all the constellations! It’s an exciting app that tells you where he horizon is and it shows you planets! Like right now Saturn and Jupiter are right in front of me! I highly recommend this app to star gazers or anybody who’s really interested really! 5 out of 5 stars all the way! And for the creators, Amazing job! I love it!

Feel powerful and insignificant all at once. This app give you tons of new research and history in the palm of your hand. Feel the power when you point your mighty camera at the stars and recite information to impress your friends and family. Or use it to realize that you are a part of something bigger that this universe is part of you. That you are truly made from the stars

I’ve always loved the stars. I’ve always loved the stars and stargazing, but I’ve never had any idea whatsoever what I was looking at. One day I was looking at the sky and was curious about so many diffident things that I decided to download this app and it was the best decision ever. This app is so great, it is easy to use and extremely informative. I entertained myself for hours staring at the sky learning about constellations and planets I never knew I was looking at. So glad this amazing app is free and that it works so well.

Yellow. I like SkyView Lite because you can see the difference so say you really can’t see and you can’t make the pictures you can see planet so you can’t see it and all that and I like it because it’s very fun and you can find galaxies Milky Way and other objects I don’t really see with your own eyes so that’s really how I like Starview like it’s just a very good app kids can use them like you you really you really might enjoy this if you want to Buy it .

Best product ever. I recommend if you love astronomy. You can use it day and night! So many upgrades you can get to learn more! It can even point out constellations if you don’t know where they are! Even if you don’t like learning it is fun. If you are looking for an app totally should be on you list! I hope this has helped you find an app that is good for everybody! See you on the app bye🙃🙂😀😄😃👋

Awesome. But..... I love this app but there are some things that could change. The graphics are nice but this is not the app that I would use regularly. I think it’s cool that they show the I.S.S. And the Hubble but why not the other satellites? And I wish they could show the asteroid belt or all the exoplanets in the solar system. But, all in all, if you are looking for a app that could show you accurate positions of the stars, planets, the moon, and constellations, then this is the app to get.

Recalibration. Hi Guys Love The App, Though ive noticed that it seems to be a little bit off, I was outside watching the ISS n I noticed I couldn’t see it, I waited n watched but it wasn’t showing up where n when it said that it was suppose to be. Then about 30-35 Seconds later, it Crossed the Sky when it was supposed to, but the ISS was crossing the night sky n The animated version of it was below the Horizon, but I’m out here every night having a smoke when it’s clear n it’s supposed to be crossing the Sky, so if you could please recalibrate the App So it is in the Actual spot that it’s suppose to be in, that would be Great. Thanks a Bunch n the App is Pretty Cool......

So far so good. I just downloaded this app tonight and tried it out. So far, so good. I had downloaded Sky Map last night and it was all over the map...pun intended. This one actually uses the camera and so far it seems to know what it is doing. I have to practice a lot more with it as time allows but it looks very promising, especially for a free app. Many people are becoming more interested in astronomy because of the Revelation 12 sign, Google it, and speculation about Nibiru.

Cool, very cool. I’ve always been fascinated by the night sky. This is just the coolest application of technology I can think of. My deepest and most comforting childhood memories growing up in Maine are lying in a field on summer nights stargazing, or midnight cross country skiing by the light of the stars, and wondering, thinking what’s up there? What’s it all about? Is that a planet? And then we start humming the Monty Python Universe song, light up another and shuffle along. Thanks for the memories.

Easy to use, finds stars then constellations. This app has evolved into an easy to use star and constellation app. I hate it when constellations come first and I don’t know all of them by sight. But I know the stars (thanks Dad! A B-52 navigator who could fly by the stars) this app is perfect as it will name the stars and then the constellations appear after. This app might not suit everyone but I couldn’t believe how fast and easy this one could be used. Try it out.

Ummm REALLY??. Ok at first I was like “OMG THIS IS THE BEST APP EVER!!” but then I pointed my camera at the grass just to see what happens, then it said 2 satellites, 3 constellations, Saturn, and like 2 other planets were down there. I was really disappointed b/c my friend recommended this app to me and I was really looking forward to use it! My mom once told me that Venus was at the side of our house so I pointed the camera there and it said that was Venus...! So I was really confused. Somethings were accurate and others weren’t? I’m just saying this is a really cool app, but it’s... I don’t really know.... somewhat inaccurate I guess. Please respond to this!!

This app is great, but I have a suggestion.. What if you made this app compatible with VR headsets. It would make this that much better! It would be even more immersive than it already is! Also there could be a "weather" mode where you over lay photos of space onto the clouds so it would be like looking through them. And to go with "weather" mode, you could make it so that you could manually set the horizon so that it would be calibrated correctly.

Wow! This app is phenomenal!. I really love this app it has shown me a detailed description of the planets and where they are in the solar system. I recommend this app because it is very accurate and is fun and easy to use. If you’re thinking about downloading this app it is 100% worth it. (Just a side bar I am 15 and my brother is 9 and we didn’t have much of an interest in space until we used this app. So if you have kids than this is the perfect way to get them involved with outer space 🙂)

I loved this app. I loved this app but now it seems that it’s not working like it used to. I used to be able to look through the camera and see the night sky and the app would say what is on the screen. Now,Ursa Major takes over the whole screen no matter where the phone is pointed, and Ursa Major is the only thing that is explained. I even paid for the upgrade thinking that would help, it didn’t. I deleted the app and reloaded, that didn’t work either. I’m just disappointed that it doesn’t work like it used to work.

Why I love this app. I used to have this app it brings me joy cause it’s a fun app to use and I love this app and I would always use this app cause I thought it would be fun to use to see the stars and now and then I still use it even this age I still use it to see the stars up closely and when I get home from school I always go out side with my iPad and look and the stars cause the stars remind me of stuff I been thought it helps me get out of stress and it makes me happy

Excellent app to begin learning about the solar system. My four year old son and I love using star view to see where the planets and constellations are in the night sky. He loves all things space related and we always look for the International Space Station and the Hubble Telescope. We love the added descriptions and the search function. This app is so much fun to explore space no matter how old you are, we highly recommend this app.

Disappointing. My husband and I have been using this app for months to see the plants and constellations and things. I doubted some of the results we’ve seen from what I’ve learned about the planets and stars in school, but assumed I was just mistaken. Then tonight we were curious about the moon stage, so we pointed it at the moon, but it said it was a star instead. I searched all around through the app and found it about 90 degrees to the left, even though I was looking right at it in the sky to know where it was. Now I’m wondering how many things we’ve been looking at and enjoying that haven’t even been true. A real let down tbh.

Awesome!. I really enjoy being able to identify stars, planets, constellations and more with this app. I use it when I am using my telescope, or just wanting to point out things to friends and family. I did have one suggestion: Developers, any thoughts on adding distances to the info that is provided for planets and stars? At least the planets, and maybe a few more of the popular stars. Thanks!

Way more than just stars. Honestly only downloaded this app thinking it has had stars. It wasn’t til my 3rd or 4th time going on the app that I saw venis. Just so happens venis was visible by the naked eye that day!!!! This app will have you doing 360s and going upside down looking at the universe from earths perspective!!!! I never ever write reviews but I have been on the app for like 45 mins so I have to compliment the creators.. ps I have never been so excited to look up or down at the stars lol

Great app. I am interested in stars and planets. But don’t have much time. We were outside with the kids and I couldn’t think of the constellation we were looking at. So I downloaded the app. The kids (6 and 8) fought over the phone and thought it was great. They now want to go out and look at the stars all the time. Thanks for getting the kids out of the house and away from their devices.

So interesting and so fun and so cool!!. I absolutely adore looking up at the stars and wondering about so much. This app makes it super easy to see what stars and planets and other celestial objects you’re seeing. It makes the stargazing activity a little more interesting and it’s just so fun to me. It’s super easy to use and you can easily calibrate your phone so you’re getting the most accurate mapping of the sky!

SO EXCELLENT!!!!. I’ve had, and use several different astronomy/stargazing type programs. Somebody just introduced me to this one and I got to say it’s pretty much unbelievable. I really love how the longer you hold still that fills in the drawings over the constellations as well as the names of the stars and other stuff. Can’t really think of anything I don’t like about it thus far. Thanks!! Bob

This isn’t legit. I don’t know what app all of these positive reviewers have been using, or if this app was different before an update or something but I personally did not find this helpful. I read about it in Apple news and thought it would be nice since I live in an area where the stars are very visible. I opened the app and they are already showing me different stars. The first time it showed a bear, then Pisces and then Virgo. I don’t know if the paid version is better, however I will not waste my money or time to find out. Very cool concept, I just wish it actually did what it said prior to me potentially spending any money for it to do something extra.

Brings the stars to you. I love being able to step outside at night and find the names of the brightest objects in the sky, or even those that appear to be alone. It's also fun to be able to aim down and see what's happening on the other side of our planet. The best is when camping and the light pollution is greatly reduced so I can see more of the dim stars the app shows are there, but are hard to see in a city.

Good, if you know what you’re doing. I think this app has a lot to offer, but there is no tutorial for how to USE it! Some of it is obvious, but there is nothing in the help section to tell you the basics. I used the sun as an example, and my device was pointing nowhere near where it actually was in the sky. The circle with the arrow is difficult to follow, but I have no instructions on how to use it so I may be doing it wrong. PLEASE provide some BASIC instructions, otherwise the app is of no use.

Use all the time! Love it!. I love being able to just point my phone and get info about every star and planet passing overhead. It’s also neat that it shows their trajectories going below the horizon (sadly some morons gave 1 star reviews because they don’t understand that the stars below horizon are on the other side of Earth). I use it ALL the time and love all the informative info about each item.

Free version is sufficient. This is a great app that has fascinated people I’ve been hanging out with. We will see a constellation and wonder if it’s the big or Little Dipper before I pull out this app and point it at the sky. Even strangers want to take a look. You do not need to buy the full version. With the free version you can see all the constellations as well as the location of the ISS and planets in our solar system. It’s a great app for quick identification.

Moon ingress sign. The moon is always about a day behind in respect to which sign it shows it to be in. For example today May 25 in NY the app shows the moon in Gemini. But according to any other chart, and I’ve checked 4, it says the moon is and should be in Cancer already. Why does this app have a delay? I love this app but just question its accuracy. And I’ve checked my settings and they’re set for my location. Hmmm.

This is startastic!. I know, it's a corny play on words, but I absolutely love this app and the ability it has to track everything from constellations to individual stars and planets to satellites. I've used it to catch a glimpse of the ISS as it hurtled across the sky to discovering new constellations I hadn't really known before. Now I use it to instill a sense of wonder and discovery in both the scout troop I lead as well as my own sons. Way to go! Fantastic app!

Excellent/Amazing app for iPhone 11. Works right away to show you superimposed map of stars over what your camera sees. Planets like the Moon & Mars look like planets, stars as brighter dots, and for both when you tap on one it shows you the name and arc of where it’s been and where it’s going. The music in the background really enhances the moment — even better than headphones. This Lite version has all I could ever need!

Very good app pls read. I really like that I can see the space station and the moon and the sun and different constellations. Lots of people think this app is garbage because some stars and constellations are on the floor. But it would be garbage if it wasn’t on the floor. It makes perfect sense, there are stars on the other side of the planet, not just above us! Anyways, awesome app! Thank you so much for making it! I strongly recommend this app!

Star Wonder. I often wonder what is shining brightly above me and have only to raise my phone (with this app) to find out what it is. As others have noted as well, I also sit inside and look all around including the floor below to see where everything is. The find feature is fabulous as it points in the direction of what you are looking for, such as stars, planets, satellites, constellations and galaxies!

Some controls are white light. The point of the app having a red setting is so you can look at your phone to find something or figure something out and then look back at the stars and still have your night vision left in tact but there are searches and other screens that pop up in white light which will absolutely kill your night vision, this is a really silly design flaw but easily fixable. Otherwise great app.

FANTASTIC APP. What a wonderful blessing this app is to us!!! Every time I open it, we get a small glimpse of our most high Creator, GOD and what power He has!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your time, knowledge and talent!!! As soon as possible, (saving-living on a fixed income), we are looking forward to subscribing to your premium version!!! Again, THANKS and May God continue to bless you!!! Eternally His

Bringing the Sky to life. A well-thought-out app that makes the night sky accessible! Simple to use, and rich in what it offers. The music that plays in the background adds to the fun of learning what’s up there, as well as being able to see how the constellations got their names (yeah, some imagination needed!). Even during the day the app works to show you were celestial object are. Too cool!

Great app. I love this app. For those of us who are mesmerised with pics and info of all things beyond our little planet, this app feeds our need to know more. It makes the universe so much more believable. I hope all of the latest info and pics are added in some search format and included in an update soon. Keep it up (there) literally and figuratively. Thank you. - Pete J.

Best app you can get. My family has a lake house on lake winipisaki and last night we went on a boat ride into town for ice cream around 10 ish. On the way back we saw the Big Dipper and it peaked my interest so I went to the app star and found this. Let me say using this app in the middle of lake wini with clear sky's full of stars was one of the most eye opening moments of my life. Just the curiosity and intrigue that ran through my mind was unreal. I highly recommend everyone should get this app. It's truly amazing

Super!. This free app is the coolest thing on my phone. When I lose my perspective, it takes only a moment to access the incredible universe surrounding me and is to regain. I love the app for its accessibility, it's cost (free), it's cool and soothing background music, the links and graphics. Very cool. I share the app with people everywhere I go-- fam, friends, colleagues, clients and even strangers... a great instant reminder of how vast is our universe and that all is well, even when we may have troubles or concerns in our own tiny flash of life 😊 Love, love it!

Love this app!. Let me start out by saying, that those reviews that call the app fake, because, if you point the app at the ground you see stars as well, don’t realize that there are stars all around the Earth. They are above us, below us, and to the sides of us. Not just directly above. This app has helped me pin point constellations, and even helped me to confirm my belief that what I thought were certain constellations, were in fact said constellations. 10/10!

Fun times!. This app is quick and easy to get the hang of and does an excellent job of indicating just what (and where) objects are in the sky. It can even show you where things are below the horizon. It's especially handy for daytime use- if you ever have the need to know what's above you when the sun is shining! Best of all it is super fun to use :) I highly recommend at least downloading and checking it out!

Enjoy this App. A friend told me about this app a couple of years ago. It’s totally a joy to use. We particularly like it when looking for specific events or places. Examples: finding the space station when it’s going overhead, spotting Mars with my grand daughter, looking for comets known to be in the sky near specific planets, or finding the zodiac signs in the night sky.

Close but no cigar for my use. After getting notification about the space station flying over, I have to type in ISS, let it search and click on the result to find the general direction to look in. It’s not terribly accurate. Also, I was able to track space junk on the screen for the first few days after downloading the app but that stopped and has never returned. Go to work on that free version if you want to sell the pay version. notification about the space station flying over, which I can’t figure it how to recreate or undo, I have to type in ISS, let it search and click on it to find the general direction to look in. It’s not terribly accurate. Also, I was able to track space junk on the screen for the first few days after downloading the app but that stopped and has never returned.

Awesome app!!!. I love the fact that you can see everything! Planets, stars, trajectory, satellites. This is fantastic. I never had a problem on my phone but My husband ran into an issue on his phone with the gyroscope not working. (He has a magnetic battery pack on his phone) Solution: just take off the top of that & give it a few seconds and then put it back on. It worked fine after that.

Need help with locating Space Station. I have been using this App for the last few years. We follow the International Space Station. The last 6-7 weeks the “finder” is way off in locating the Station at my location. The App shows the Station on its way down when we hold up the phone to find it in the sky. But we see it coming up in the sky at the “visible” coordinate. The location coordinates are correct for “visible”, “peak”, and “disappears”. But the locator is way off. I do locate the planets fine, however . If I dont have a compass, I cant find the Space Station. How can I fix it? I paid for the update months ago. Love the App if it would get back to working right

Best Star app!. I keep showing people this app after they’ve looked for one just like it and never could find a good one. I only have the lite version but after using it as many times as we have, my boyfriend bought himself the full version. Honestly this is something that I think everyone should get because it lets you realize what that bright star you see is without it being a hassle. Also everyone should see mars and learn to recognize that red star!

Always a joy to use. Fantastic app that allows me to appreciate the universe in a new way each time I use it. I look forward to cloudless nights where I can pull out my phone and discover a new constellation that was previously unknown to me. This app has made me more educated about the night sky and our place in the universe. Thank you to the team of developers who made this possible—it has made me a more appreciative human being of what’s out there in space.

Used this app for years. On every new device I get SkyView has always been one of my very first downloads. I love space and being able to look outside and know exactly what star or constellation I’m looking at is great. Also I’ve never bought the extended version. I’ve always been extremely satisfied by the lite version. I’ll probably have it till I die. I try and put all my friends onto it.

Love the app but…... I’ve had the app for quite some time now, but went to use it tonight and the screen is frozen. I move the phone around but the display never changes. I have location services on and I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and still locked up. Any suggestions on how to free up the app would be appreciated. Update: I did a hard reboot of my IOS and voila app is working again. 👍👍

Absolutely love this!. I downloaded this app a few weeks ago and it is more awesome than I could describe! I can’t believe when I look at certain stars, I find out that I’m really looking at a planet! I can see where the space station is, the Hubble telescope, as well as learning names of certain stars and where the moon is-even if it isn’t visible. Even in broad daylight, you can see where the stars are! I am absolutely blown away of how great this app is!

Loved this app until now but then my favorite feature was removed. I loved this app and it still does the basic that a star gazing app should be about to do. But it had the option to see the calendar for the meteor showers throughout the year and that was one of my favorite features. But then that option was removed. I thought it was moved to the premium app. I paid for all the features and there still is no option to see the meteor shower calendar. Why would you remove such an important feature? This app is still one of the best but I hope the developers bring that option back.
