Light pollution. It seems to work alright,but I live outside of town an with the light pollution I cannot see that many stars. Well I can’t see the hundreds of stars they show.......I had written about how with the light pollution that I could not make out the stars that I could see compared with the Hundreds of stars that are shown on the screen. So I gave the APP 3 Stars but I was contacted by email by the company. I had no idea that if you place 2 fingers on the screen an swipe down all of the stars are removed,except for the ones that I can see. WOW what a difference! Thanks again for your email and help or I would have never been able to enjoy the night sky like I can now.

Amazing, but can have a few tweaks!. I downloaded this app, and was very surprised! I had gone through trial and error, but this app was overall the best. Okay, now to the things that can improve: 1. When you click on the place that shows what the weather condition is, the temperature, and when the sun and moon will go up or down, the app automatically sets the time to when the sun goes down. I would love if the app automatically set to the current time. 2. When I search for a faint object (Proxima Centauri for example), the app shows me the location, but no pointers or anything tell me where the object is. It is impossible to find some objects 😢. 3. Please show moons of other planets in our solar system, or some planets from different stars. I would love to see solar systems of other stars. Finally, please do not send me the link to your help website, just read the review and try to improve. In no way do I think this is a bad app, quite frankly...I love it! Just please listen to me and try to make this the best stargazing app out there.

I love this app except.... I really love this app, especially the 3D models, but I have a problem- every once in awhile it crashes and I have to go back in. How do I fix that? I have iPad 7th generation. Thanks. Updated response: hi I have two other issues: 1. Can there be a button instead for the premium offer because whenever I zoom out really far to look at the galaxy it pops up, and it’s kind of annoying. 2. There’s this glitch or something where when I search for “Earth” in the search bar and click the button for the 3-d model, all I see is empty space. Could that be fixed? Over all, this is a great app! 😀

EXCELLENT. The night sky app is an excellent tool for anyone interested in stargazing or astronomy. With its intuitive interface and comprehensive database of celestial bodies, this app makes it easy to identify and learn about the objects in the night sky. One of the standout features of the night sky app is its augmented reality mode, which allows you to point your phone or tablet at the sky and see a labeled map of the stars and planets superimposed on your screen. This feature is incredibly useful for identifying objects in the sky, especially for beginners who may not be familiar with the constellations. In addition to its augmented reality mode, the night sky app also includes detailed information about each celestial object, including its name, distance from Earth, and interesting facts about its properties and history. This makes the app a great educational resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of astronomy. Overall, I highly recommend the night sky app for anyone interested in stargazing or astronomy. Its user-friendly interface and comprehensive database of celestial objects make it an essential tool for both beginners and experienced stargazers alike.

This. Is. Amazing.. I was simply wasting away at home, when a bored search led me to this app. Intrigued, I downloaded it. It seemed rather well-made, so I continued. I fiddled around with some things after swiping through the tutorial, and I was astonished. There are so many great features to this app that fascinated me, for example— the augmented reality, where the app mapped out the heavens across my bedroom ceiling. The stargazing aides, that help you find a nice, quiet park on the right day and with the right conditions. Or the notifications that can literally alert you when the International Space Station is flying over your head— or when a Uranian dawn breaks. There’s so much to this app, and if you have any interest in astronomy-or astrology- try this app out.

Night sky. Unfortunately I am not getting the enjoyment I had hoped. I am not clear on how to use it for example does the camera part of the I phone face the sky while you look up at the display? If the screen of phone is held up facing the sky how does one view it? I didn't even see the moon on the ap on the night of full moon. Maybe I am slow but I just don't see the sky on the ap resembling actual sky at all I would ask for more explicit instructions. Further I can no longer use it without subscribing. I see they offer a 30 day trial cancel any time but we know how that works you can never reach someone to cancel if the app falls short. I only use it rarely anyway. An app without instructions isn’t what I need right now.

Excellent changes; Great improvements. Hi! So I posted a review not too long about the entire app and with the update this app is the number 1 night sky app! So first off AR Sky Blending isn’t lagging anymore. It’s smooth and I can actually find the stars I want to see in the sky. Last review I said it was inaccurate, but now it’s pretty accurate. Next, I would like to tell just how much better this app is than the other night sky apps. So there’s an app called sky guide and sky guide costs $2.99 and it’s “The Best” night sky app. I decided to compare this app to that app. Holy. Night sky was better in every single way. It was easier to use, had more features, it showed the names, and had better detail. And I haven’t made any purchases on night sky. I could go on but I still have school work. I do have a couple of questions. How come Neptune is rotating so fast and spinning clockwise? If Neptune did actually rotate on its axis like that then this app should get 6 stars but it doesn’t. Second, what does the red/black button do? (The button that makes the app red and black) I have no clue what it’s suppose to be for. Overall massive improvements and I hope to give an even better review some time.

Incredible. I wanted to be an astronomer when I was younger because learning about the stars and planets and other extraterrestrial bodies was always so fascinating. I have never looked up to the sky and seen something other than magnificent beauty, and with this app I can bring back my childish wonder and appreciation for learning. Being able to identify the seemingly insignificant dots in the dark sky brings a sense of joy I honestly can’t describe. I really love how much information you can find on each and every speck in the universe. Maybe there are flaws in this app just like any other creation, but I believe that I’ll be able to look past any that I come across due to the purity I’ve found in this money-making scheme. God bless

They should really give more than 5 stars on this app. This is seriously the most amazing app you can ever download into your iPhone. I can’t believe how amazing it is to see space live, see the satellites moving, and gives information like what date it was launched, where it launched, and show descriptions of different stars and planets. It uses all AR, and it is amazing to see planets and satellites so closely and detailed. I am in love with how this app is made, and for sure deserves more than 5 stars. Developers: You have done such an outstanding amazing job with this app. Highly recommended for anyone who loves space and is into science; or just curious about live space. Love this app, and will always recommend people to have it in their iPhones.

thank you thank you. First, I would like to thank you and those in charge of the success of the Night Sky application, which is considered unique in terms of accuracy in information and accuracy in astronomical geography. Secondly, I am speaking to you from the Middle East, specifically Saudi Arabia. The application must be more known and popular, so I am applying to you as an agency for an application in the Middle East, as the application will remain under your complete control. Only I will be a promoter of this application until it becomes famous like others, or until I can introduce it to international festivals in Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. And others, and promoting it in some public places (and this is without any charge, I only want a certificate of agency from you so that this becomes legal. This is just support from me) With my regards: Mr. Muhammad Salem Al Salim

Nice app but a little confusing to use. Update. I started using sky guide and it is must easier to use. If you just want an app to show you what is in the sky that is a good app. Night sky is too complicated. I think I like this app but it is a little confusing to use. First it doesn't seem to reflect the actual sky. For instance, when I point it at Ursa Major it doesn’t show it exactly where it is in the sky. So, I am never sure what I am looking at when I look at the actual sky. It is like it just shows a map of the sky and isn’t really showing me the actual sky. I tried to use the sky blending but I can’t figure out how it works. The tutorial is lacking. I would like to see more explanation of each feature in the help section. Also in the preferences, there is no explanation of what each option is. For example, what does it mean if I enable the “moon” preference? I saw in one of the reviews the developers said to use the compass align to fix the view of the sky. I tried that but how does it work? What does the + or - degrees mean? More explanation is needed. I want to just point it at the sky and see exactly what I am pointing at be reflected in the view. I have had this app for years but just picked it up again. The older version was much simpler and more accurate.

Beautiful app and good customer service. I downloaded this app because my three-year old son and I like going outside at night just before his bedtime to play and look at the moon and stars, and I just wanted to be able to tell him which planets and constellations we were seeing. This app did that and so much more. I had no idea what was orbiting our planet! I also love the widget. My son also likes to use the AR feature in the house and sit the sun or the moon in our living room. I haven’t used even half of what the app offers yet and I decided to purchase the lifetime subscription. I wanted the full experience for when I was ready to use it, but mostly I felt that even the free features were worth the price. I did run into an issue where the app was not recognizing that I was Premium. Every time I opened it, it thought I was a free user and then I had to “restore purchase” to get it to work again. I emailed customer service for help and they were super responsive and worked with me to try to figure out what was wrong. The latest update fixed the issue. Overall, we’re thrilled with what this app has to offer - I’m learning so much! - and recommend to anyone looking for a great star gazing app.

Perfect to identify and view. I actually haven’t used all too many, but this works perfect for me, I just want to identify a cluster or an individual star is not a problem, and if I want to just get a telescope, set up and hone in on specific object and makes it even easier, they wonderful tool multipurpose very easy to use. I use the very basic functions. It has so many more, Everybody should have this or something very similar to it. Not many people look to the skies anymore and they should! And if you do you need something like this absolutely

UI makes it impossible to filter out clutter for casual user. This app has some nice features, but the view of the sky is always cluttered with overlapping constellations, satellites (especially Starlink satellites), and numerous other objects. It’s not easy or obvious how to filter stuff out. For the casual user it’s a bit of a nightmare. I only use the app occasionally, so I’m always relearning the UI. I imagine this is an excellent app for regular users, but every time I use it I always find myself bumbling around in the dark trying to figure out how in gods name I can hide all the extraneous stuff. They should really make it more obvious. Also, the last time I tried to use the app (July 2022) it kept freezing up on me after a few minutes.

Great app, annoying “reminders”. I really love the app. I use it at least once a week. My one and only complaint is that the app asks me every time I start it up if I want to upgrade. No. I do not want to f’ing pay for the upgrade. *edit* What kind of response is that from the developer? I am well aware the paid services offered. My issue is that the app offers these paid services too often. I would love to turn the app on without having to decline the paid services. When I’m outside using it, I usually have my telescope with me. I’ll find what I want to look at with the app, then put my phone on my pocket. When I want to move on to a different object, I open phone, and am asked if I want to pay for an upgrade. Every single time. I understand you have to advertise the paid services but it is a bit much. It’s as if you did not read my initial review and did the exact thing that I have a problem with... advertise the paid services.

Great App, Great Support. This app brings together information that I otherwise would need to bounce between 3 or 4 apps and Wikipedia. Combining this info in one place increases both the efficiency at the telescope and the enjoyment of sky gazing. I don’t have a GoTo telescope mount so access to the dimmer magnitude stars (above 7) makes star-hopping to find faint nebulae and galaxies far easier. I am also very impressed with their support. My one “problem” was answered within 4 hours, and followup help even faster. It’s so nice to get help from people who both know their product and the challenges in the general field of its use. (They not only know where the buttons and menus are, but know astronomy and why you need the button as well)!

Wow!. Except no other. Yes you may find others on the App Store. Yes you might find it cheaper. But you won’t get a super detailed super advanced app like this. What a great way to share those insomnia nights with the kids. Maybe not the younger younger ones but pre teens on up I think it’s a kool way to bond if your kid is into this. It’s awesome it’s informative it’s mind blowing. I haven’t used the display on ceiling yet.(not sure what it’s called) but I’m excited. If you like to enjoy a little can a bliss then check out the awesome sky above then this app is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Enjoy it. Yes you will just be careful if ya hung out with indica ya might wake up on the blanket a little later. Lol. Great app.

Froze up in the field; little in the way of instructions. The app worked great at home but when I drove a few miles away to look for Neowise and there was no WiFi, I connected my iPad to my iPhone hotspot, which worked well for everything on the internet EXCEPT Night Sky, even when I connected my iPad to the USB port in my car. The app didn’t respond as I moved my iPad—I could spin the display in any direction so North could be South, e.g.—so essentially it was no help at all with locating anything. Given that the user is likely to enter areas with no WiFi, there should be some way of addressing this scenario. Which leads me to my other complaint. The tutorial is so bare boned it’s difficult to figure out how to use some features. I don’t mind exploring on my own; in fact it’s rather fun. But sometimes I’d discover how to do something and later couldn’t remember how I did it, and there’s no guide to help, so I’d have to figure it out all over again. There were a couple of features I couldn’t get at all, like the Siri voice command to find an object. So, overall, while the app offers great feature, it doesn’t provide a very good means of helping you use them. Disappointing.

Missing some things. I love this app but lately it’s not picking up everything. There is a bright object to the top left of the moon right now, in close relation visually, and it’s not registering on the app. I gave it the benefit of the doubt that the bodies showing up a little further out were it but none of them lined up with position in the sky in relation and visual proximity to the moon. The app used to be spot on. Second time in 2 months I’ve been disappointed with as many times using it. Last time it wouldn’t show me where the moon was at all when I was trying to brag about the app to friends. Next night: It was Mars. Why wouldn’t it be superimposed over one another and have something that says what it is? And when you try to zoom in to a local body you get visually flooded with our local cluster of galaxies (honestly, that’s annoying. I know it’s a combination of our galaxy with other galaxies mingled in, but help me learn from local bodies! At least give a staged zoom prompt where you can zoom to the inner planets, then the outer planets, then the galaxy, followed by the super clusters if you wanna take it deep lol. Also, this used to have a super easy to use function where you type in a local body and arrows guide you to its location in the sky. Why would you get rid of that?! 🤷‍♂️

Clunky bloatware avoid at all costs. No free option which is fine. Some things cost and there’s a trial. What could go wrong? Well let me tell you. Do you miss the early days of the internet when certain websites had pop up after pop up? Well good news have I got the app for you! Do you want an over abundance over information all at once rendering the point moot? Well good news have I got the app for you! The Screen is littered with graphics. Point it at a location it may be a planet it may be a star it may be part of a super cluster. How does the app determine what it is? By showing _everything_ all at once. In the same spot. It asks if you want to review the app. Heaven help you if you hit “remind me later” because later to this app means in 30 seconds. So the intrusive clutter has finally gotten to you and you want to cancel your subscription? Follow this guide: go to manage subscription cancel. A prompt will show up asking if you are sure. Click on manage then another prompt will say sorry to see you go renew subscription for .99 cents? Click manage. To save time you’re going to have to click manage on several more prompts before you can final get to the point where you can cancel. What a terrible app.

Good to bad... to not so bad.. Edit: really surprised, pleasantly, by the developer response. Improvements came quickly, though more fine tuning is needed. I’m still very impressed by their passion to put out a quality product and customer service! Original review: Received an alert on my watch that the ISS would be flying over and offered to take me to it. I thought, why not... hazy, but might get lucky. So, the display on the watch showed a pretty high path (as opposed to those low on the horizon). So, keep checking my watch face arrow pointing up/down to pinpoint location. I grab my phone and open the app, met with a sales pitch 8 pages long! (Longer than most ISS passes). Find the end, close it and look for the ISS icon to appear where the arrows on the watch are pointing. Nothing. Turn to go back inside, and there it is much further north gliding across the sky NOT where the arrows/flight path were pointing! I didn’t even bother to check the app on the phone as it couldn’t even sync with it’s counterpart on the watch. Super frustrating!

Two things in the way. Two things are making this app too frustrating to use for me. Every time I open the app a huge add appears (for the Grand Orrery) that requires a long scroll to dismiss. That’s very frustrating. When the app finally opens, and I’m looking at a part of the sky that usually contains objects I’m interested in, the Milky Way, as represented in the app, makes seeing objects almost impossible. For some reason the way this app represents the Milky Way looks like an acid trip, Loaded with bright colors and a very complex. I haven’t been able to find anything in the preferences to turn this off, or to make it look more naturalistic. Strangely if I select “real sky representation“, it makes all the planets pin sized, but the Milky Way remains Day-Glo red and purple. This essentially makes it even harder to see objects against the app representation of the Milky Way.

This is why you should get this app!. I love seeing the stars and the names of them, the satellites and their names, etc. there is no lack of information it even lets you view for different planets you can also see galaxies like the Andromeda galaxy and it also lets you see where constellations are. This app is amazing every time I see a shiny thing in the the night sky, rather it’s a star or a planet I pull out my phone and aim it at the shiny dot and it tells me what it is. This app is the reason why I love and am such an expert on space. If you like space and want to learn more, I recommend this app by far!

Doesn’t seem to work as advertised unless I have premium. I’m using this app for astrophotography and every time I put my finger on the screen it asks me to get premium. I zoom in and it doesn’t work, I have to zoom in three times before it registers that my fingers are moving, and then it starts asking me for premium so I try to zoom out and it does the same thing. Also whenever I try to click on something in the sky it will put me on something in a completely different spot from where I put my finger, I tried to put a marker on Mars so I could get some photos of it tonight and I’ve been sitting here for the past 6 minutes trying to do so which has lead me to writing this review. This app has amazing potential but until then I’m going to stick to maps or an app a little more reliable.

Sad day when nobody will support you. I have had this app for a long time. The other evening when i witnessed a celestial event i wanted more details so i went in to Night Sky and it didnt even mention the conjunction which was a let down. But then it offered a free trial for theb plus subscription. So i clicked ok thinking maybe it was an upgrade feature. But then it tried to charge me right away. Now apple wont cancel a pending charge and i dont have $40 extra to pay for the app which still didnt mention the event which was visible with the naked eye and im being charged. I cancelled the subscription As soon as i realized and Apple wont do anything and the apps website says they arent able to either. Im disappointed in what used to be a very immersive and amazing app, and very disappointed in apple Support

Informative, fun, and interesting.. I love how if you don’t want to move the phone around the room you can just use your finger to move the map. I also love how if you zoom in on something and click the information button no matter what it is you will get so much information, I’m not talking a few sentences I’m talking about a dozen paragraphs even on the smallest stars you will get at least a paragraph. There are so many things that you can do here and it is very simple and very cool I can tell that the developers spent a lot of time and effort making this app amazing keep it up guys✨🔭🪐☄️🛸🛰️🚀🧑‍🚀!!!

Amazing buy it now!. I just want to say first off this app is amazing you can see every single planet the only downside is I do not like the music I think you should leave that no offense though the app screwed the other thing is I think you should be able to zoom in so you can see the plan is better otherwise the details amazing I love the ratio and just how you can see every name of what is like in outer space and it’s not something you get to do every day so the developer I thank you for making this app it’s really good! Your app is very good and I love the colors and the concept. Thank you

Honestly, worth it. I’ve been using Nightsky for a long little while now. I found it by going through Trial and Errors of trying to find the best app to look at the sky. I’ve sat i went though 5-6 apps before I was happy with my choice. It’s offers you so many features without even paying for it, as you would have to do for any other app. It’s crazy. Because it’s a free app that offers you AR experiences to blend with your night sky, real time constellations, stars, galaxies, Nebulas, satellites, and even major NASA things like, Hubble Telescope, International Space Station, Meteor Showers And so much more. It has tours of planets too. They also have media news updates everyday about anything going on in space like, The Mercury and Mars Conjunction and Major things that will be able to be seen with the Naked Eye. I’ve dragged this on for too long but, over all it’s the best app to use for everyone who likes Astronomy and for Astronomers. -Iyana

Science teacher, Astronomy buff.... Clear, accurate, helpful!!! Good job “guys”... thanks for your efforts!!! So as SOON as I wrote the favorable review ... still true... the jerks in the sales department began FLOODING the app with ad after ad totally blocking my screen with obnoxious pressure to UPGRADE!!! Totally ruined my night and repeatedly angering me at the arrogant , rude way they tried to bully me into buying up ... which I would gladly done had they not been such manipulative jerks ... now I’m going to a different site and will justifiably badmouth their sales dept should anyone ask... very low class!! So then I got a lame, sarcastic, nerdy reply from a “site developer “ who chided me for being upset with the tricky , repeated ads , that rudely interrupted the site over and over while I tried to actually USE the site... Long story short it’s a good site but use while they hammer you with ads ... so either give the site free and allow users to CHOOSE to upgrade or stop acting like good guys and just charge folks upfront and honestly...... you lying jerks... ( sales guys ) 👍

I like it/some bugs though. So, I’ve had this for a while. This is my first review however. It’s usually pretty solid. No complaints. I haven’t used it in a while and just did the update. There’s a My Views feature that I’m trying to use for an upcoming trip. The app crashes/shuts down every time I choose a date and time and press save. It doesn’t matter if it’s my location or a far flung one. Tonight or a month from now. Just crashes. It’s annoying. Also the Night Sky Views and Stargazing Event tabs don’t work. Says something about internet connection. My internet is working perfectly fine everywhere else (even the rest of the apps features). All in all I like the app. The latest upgrade does have some bugs/glitches. Or maybe it’s me. Could be. Don’t think so though. Just a note, I’ve used the free version until tonight. I just upgraded to the free trial. Not sure if or how that’s effecting it’s performance although I’d imagine it would normally be better.

You allowed these broken eyes to see my home.. I built a house that I could sit on and watch my stars and in the process injured my eyes that I can’t see clear anymore. Tonight I downloaded this app and sat in the cold frigid lovely on the roof built with my broken body and I wept. Wept because I never lost faith that this roof would be my launching pad. I didn’t know it would take an app 5 years later to see my home star far from the nothingness I feel here in exile. But I bet the artists who made this tech Mona Lisa didn’t know that the worlds loneliest hermit would see redemption through this, such a work of art. If you build an app to touch the ever, I’ll be your space monkey for free. Remember me when you sail back home. -Ravenus X

Great App & great support!. I loved the app but did not love the “Glass Constellations” that kept blocking my view and for me it was a distraction for me personally. I looked in app but the options and menu choices are so many (a very detailed app with lots of options) I got lost and did not know how to disable these. This is where the great support came in. Quickly the developer replied to my question and showed me hoe to disable these in the preferences. If you have that same concern just follow their direction and go to preferences and there are 3 boxes or buttons you can tick off for glass constellations. I just ticked all 3 off so I can see the night sky clear and beautiful. This app is an awesome support for knowing what’s in space around us. Thank you!

I love this game but needs some changes like solar, eclipses, lunar eclipses. I am doing this game a lot, but I am in six grade and I’m in my science class. We’ve been learning about solar eclipse and lunar eclipses so in this game I really like to add. what eclipse is a number… I feel like that would be like a really good change for the game or entertainment thing, but I use this app a lot and I really hope you guys change that so if you guys can, can you guys get it done by the end of this weekend so on Monday I’m gonna be checking but no offense here I’m just saying I just wanna challenge for you guys you know so I hope you guys can do it yeah.🤪😬😁

Bug?. I’ve been using this app for a while to gaze at the sky with my eyes. This thanksgiving I got a telescope to see further out. I highly recommend this app to see what objects to look at and what conditions in your area to see it. I found a feature within one of the menus that’s to take pictures with( Astrophotography). I’m starting astrophotography as a hobby for myself, the feature has multiple capabilities and potential of having use. But every time I use it, it crashes the app… both my iPhone and app is updated to their latest versions. I’d love a response back please. I’ve tried this on someone else’s phone and theirs crashed as well.

Awesome, but.... This app is awesome. It looks great and provides even more info than the Sky Guide app which I also have. But my main issue with this app is simply the fact that I can’t use it for 5 minutes without getting a full screen pop-up BEGGING me to pay monthly for the premium membership at least 10 times. It’s so annoying. I can understand the pop-up coming up once or twice when you first use the app, but for it to continuously pop up multiple times during use is so annoying, and makes the app somewhat annoying/difficult to use. You don’t need to pay money for any “premium” features, when the app pretty much already gives you what you want for free.

Brilliant App. This app truly humbles you, that moment when you open the app you can see everything! Stars galaxy’s,planets,the Milky Way, and even satellites. One of my favorite features is that your able to view most if not all objects in an interactive 3D space. It’s a beautiful app with stellar accuracy. A problem you will see is that it’s not 100% accurate when you look to the sky but that’s an easy fox just find the section to put in your current location and when you do I promise it gets much more accurate. I personally have a telescope and this app truly fascinates me, I use it to help find objects I use it to help see what objects are there’s just so much good in the app with or without the subscription. The app also has many other various features such as the news category which fills you in on all the latest new regarding astronomy. I personally love the app and am sure you will love it too!

100% Paid App: Misleading!!. This app is 100% pay to enjoy. The “free” price tag on the store front I just that, a front. One you open the app you are forced to sign up for a monthly service of $1.99 per month before you can use it. Sure the first month is free but this is absolutely insane... Apple revolutionized the media works with the invention of the $0.99 song, the $0.99 download, and the former $0.99 movie rental. And now this app that hopes to secure a blind $20 per year for intermittent use! The most infuriating part of this experience has been that it’s in fact an Editor’s Pick. Sure the content is probably amazing and the functionality highlights everything Apple does well or at least wants us to appreciate/focus on. BUT the promise of consumer experience + value + entertainment should factor into these designations as well. If you’re not going to call this a paid app, you’re failing on the first promises are broken.

I Cried!!!. I just downloaded this app because I saw the most brightest, beautiful star in the sky and I was curious to see if it was a planet. Sure enough, it was the planet Saturn, one of my favorite planets and it is in the constellation Sagittarius, which is my astrological sign. I swear this app made me cry and as long as I’ve had a phone with app capabilities, an app has never made me cry before. You can see live views of the night sky and you can even see what satellites and space junk are floating out there!! This app is so amazing I cannot put it into words. You just have to download it and see! A must if your are a space junkie like me!!!

Amazing app. This app is incredible and it is very fun and educational! Every morning I leave for work before the sun rises and I see the same patterns of stars and constellations that I can recognize like any normal person. But then I started noticing the changes in stars as the seasons went by, so I became curious as to what stars were which, especially since some were so much brighter than others. Turns out I’ve been looking at Venus the whole time, and I never would have known this if not for this app. You can also tap on anything you see to learn more information, including satellites, Jupiter’s moons, far off nebula, etc. I even found the Hubble telescope way out there in the sky with the app! You can even locate the International Space Station with this app. Definitely worth 5 stars.

Great app. So much fun. You get a lot of great ,real time stars in all directions. We went to a local observatory on a whim and my wife showed me this app. It is a fantastic guide to the other part of Mother Nature. We saw Jupiter and Saturn , along with the waxing moon through the telescopes and the app had us walking around in the dark filled with wonder, able to see with our naked eyes and identify cuz of the app. I literally love this app. The notifications give me relevant planet positions as they happen and keep me engaged in the heavens throughout my day, and that really makes the day better. Once you poke at it some you figure it out. It’s relatively intuitive as well as easy to understand instruction wise. Get the app.

Good on my iPad. Nice app for my iPad. Good graphics. Most of all, I like its usefulness. As an amateur astronomer, I’d like to get the most out of least effort... I want to stargaze rather than play with the electronics. Setup makes that happen. I also like the notifications given before a noteworthy event occurs. Moving the iPad over the sky like a planetarium is sweet especially with an uncomplicated horizon. 2 criticisms. 1) I’d wish the app could overlay the equatorial and RA/Dec across the sky. The ecliptic is helpful but just not quite enough. 2) I’d like to be able to reduce/increase the number of stars, especially in lieu of light-pollution. The more obvious the target, the easier it is to match up map to sky. There’s a bit of a learning curve over my other device. Having said that, I really like this app and look forward to using it.

Has potential....... However, I downloaded it 4 times and I it was ok when I first opened it ( after the download), but then it kept crashing and freezing up. Even when I pick “Always” on the location settings( which I never do for any app), and turn the ISS and Iridium notifications off it still crashes and freezes. Does it want me to pick the premium thing? I don’t want to though!!! I don’t want to do the FREE trial!!!! That means I don’t want to do the premium thing if I don’t want to try the FREE trial!!!! I’m supposed to have a choice in this, right?!?! Developers, if you fix this, then I WILL give this a five star review. The one thing I haven’t tried is to “Use Night Sky Recommended” notifications settings. I might try that. If you have any other suggestions please share. Edit: I have now tried “Use Night Sky Recommended”. It froze up. I do need to update my phone, so I’ll try that. Second edit: Same circumstances as above, except my phone was updated.

I love this app, but I have one problem.... I absolutely LOVE this star app. I like how you can tap on an object and look more closely at it. The only thing is, I don’t know if it’s my phone or the app, but I tapped on a space station and it went to my photos like it should, but then it went black and went off of the app. It happened like 5 times. Again, I don’t know if it’s just my phone or not though. But other than that I think that this app is really cool. I use it for my telescope to look at planets. Thanks for reading! If you have time, I would like it if you could tell me what’s going on, or if it’s just my phone. My phone is really old, so it could very well be my phone. Thanks for your time!

Disappointed. I have used this app for many years and proclaimed all of the great things that initially made me love it. I primarily use it in the warmer weather in the Northeast. I am guessing an upgrade or three happened since I last used it. While I was with some friends at the beach the other night we caught when we debated was a planet. When I tried to resolve the debate via this app it was like something I’d never seen. The familiar functionality I once knew was gone. If I could go back to what I once purchased and had I would be there in a heartbeat. I see there are options to upgrade but I don’t even have a clue what I’ve lost. I guess I will look for something that functions like what I came to know and love. I enjoyed many years of using and enjoying the app which made me purchase it. The enhancements were great but like they say too much of a god thing.....

issues. I used the premium version for over two years and for nine of those months, the portals did not work, I’d open it up and it would either crash or freeze on where I was creating the portal. I downgraded to the free version but then saw there was an update so again I paid for the full version. Still, all it does is crash. I’m using an iPhone XR with the latest iOS. I have absolutely no problems with any other app. I have installed and reinstalled, I’ve gone from premium to free and doctor premium. Nothing helps. It is the single most important feature in why are use this. Why am I paying for something that I literally can access. I just don’t understand can somebody please help me? I see others have the same issues but, there’s no solution

Great support. This is a great app for learning about the heavens and all the beautiful works that have been created. I like how its set up and laid out with different learning tools. The light pollution percentage is also nice to know. I dont have to drive more than an hour or so and I can be in a much darker area of the state for viewing the dimmer objects. I had a little bit of an issue with using the app but a very quick reply from the support team cleared everything up. This is a great app accompanied by a great support team and I recommend it to anyone who is even just a bit curious about wonderous night sky.

Subscribe or forget it.. A great app with significant detail and great graphics, but I am going to delete it and look for something else. There are two problems. First, if you live in an area with moderate light pollution, the app is too detailed but not accurate enough when aiming your phone skyward to determine anything not identifiable by being in a constellation. For instance, I can see Vega but not the surrounding stars because their magnitude is less and don’t come through the pollution; but they show up on the app. I think the app is identifying it as Vega, despite the fact I am not pointed directly at it and there are no surrounding stars for reference. The second problem is just annoying. Any time you zoom in on anything the app pops up a screen advertising the “premium” annual subscription- which is costly. This pops up so frequently the app is essentially unusable. Great app if you want to subscribe and don’t live in a light polluted area. Otherwise… just an annoying gimmick to get you into an expensive subscription.

Can’t use the app after paying for it :( it was great while it lasted. I purchased the app a long time ago and haven’t been enjoying it since unfortunately after the recent updates I have not been able to log back on and when I hit the button that says restore purchases it just continues to load and does not allow me access. I sent an email to support and I am waiting to see if they can help me resolve my issue being that I have already paid for the app and have not been able to access it for sometime otherwise the app is fantastic I love it and while I was deployed in the army many of my battle buddies were fascinated with how accurate and informative it is others wound up buying the app themselves

Disappointing.... I went into this app thinking, “Hey, this looks really cool,” and I then saw all of its features and downloaded it. At first glance, this app was quite the spectacle. You could zoom in and see countless stars, view satellites, and view distant constellations. But then, I saw the first problem, it very poorly lined up with the actual night sky. In other terms, it was very inaccurate. I then became very interested in the premium, so I bought a yearly subscription. I was very excited to use the new features that were unlocked such as a AR solar system and an AR planetary portal. But then, I realized both of these features were poorly implemented. The portals glitched and the solar system was very glitchy as well. At the end of the day, I think this app desperately needs improvement in order to match the expectations you set for me in the preview. So please, developers, please try to implement the features promised better.

Performance issues | fixed. I have had this app before and enjoyed the quality. Downloading it again after updates from the app and iOS has made this app literally unusable; you cannot swipe or skip through the tutorial without the app crashing. I hope this gets fixed so that people can continue to enjoy the app. ——————— Update: Restarting my phone seemed to work! The app works amazing and i highly recommend it for anyone with interest in the stars. There are still occasional crashes but these seem to be issues more on the part of my device rather than the app.

Night sky 2.0. I have been having a great time stargazing. I saw Sirius A in the night sky and most importantly I even saw the Orion constellation! This holidays I might be going to Coonabarabran. If you didn't know Coonabarabran is a place in Australia and in Coonabarabran you can see lots of stars and you can see the Milky Way in the night sky. Your able to see the milky way and lots of stars in the night sky of Coonabarabran because there is no pollution there.

Impressive skywatch app. This is a great app especially for one that’s free. I read someone else’s review of it recommending it and downloaded it off of that and I was glad I did. It shows planets, stars, constellations, satellites etc in real time even when on airplane mode. Very handy just to point the phone in front of you and it shows what’s there. It shows the trajectory of satellites and the space station and you can just tap the satellite, planet etc and it brings up information on it..amazing! Totally recommend this app to everyone to have on their phone!

The Google Maps of Astronomy. I have used this app for a few years now and I actually recall when I first searched the App Store for an astronomy/constellation/satellite tracking app, I really didn’t have high hopes ... downloaded a few of the top results and was pretty disappointed .... until I tried a Night Sky! I have actually been very very happy and very pleasantly surprised with this app. It is so easy to use and accurate!! For me, I love trying to catch a glimpse of satellites passing over just after dusk and night sky makes that effortless to do! Thanks guys 😁

Under The Outback Sky. When camping as we do frequently in the remote Mallee region of southern Australia, my friends are always keen to use this tremendous app to identify components of the universe, under an amazingly and usually clear night sky.

Learn about space. It makes people learn where everything

App is great, but… I need my money back!. I paid for this years ago, a significant premium. However you have now changed to a subscription charging model and asking me to subscribe to continue. Restore purchases does not work! Either pay my money back or allow me full access.

Mesmerising.!.. This app found its way to my phone, for that I am thankful.. it allows yourself to put things into a contextual form. The depth of knowledge as to the prior works of man that have pushed limits beyond what I can fathom.. Insight into what is relevant to the current (now) of what you only need to know to have normal.. This app is saying - It’s not your ability to ascertain relevance, it’s the ability to communicate it effectively..

Night Sky. This app now works well after another phone reboot! Thanks for giving me the tip to reboot. A wonderful app to use and the notifications of various events is very timely!

One of a kind. I haven’t come across any other app Etc like it. It has so many features and so much information and the design of this app is perfect. it was the first app I re-downloaded after getting a new phone because of how incredible it is and how much I surprisingly use this app. You will not find another app like it or that could compare. Honestly do yourself a favour and download this app I promise you will not regret it, everyone I have shown it to has been in complete awe of it and asked for the name so they too could have it for themselves

Fantastic. This is such an amazing app The whole family have now got it and we go out and watch for different nightly events Outstanding

How to change Timezone?. The recent update just made it confusing and a lot of pop up messages. I am in AEDT Timezone but the app has different Timezone. Unable to find settings for Timezone. Some features such as background music seems a good feature to drain battery. Also, there is one pop up per tap now, which is annoying. Either enabling location service or subscription. Almost close to uninstall it.

Issues. I can no longer use the app on my ipad pro due to when opening it up to launch app their is a blank screen and nothing loads please fix the issue as i like using the app alot and now i cant

The Saucepan on your heads!. I bought Night Sky Pro, in good faith. It no longer works. Know it seems you want an annual fee for the app. No. I would like what I paid for please. How do you decide to just reclaim something that has been paid for? For shame. Whoever your bean counter is, I hope their car stops working and must pay an annual fee to look at sitting in their garage.

It is ok. The app is amazing there are many features to the app. Totally amazing. But there is a problem. Whenever I want it to use my camera and see the sky that is in front of me, the app glitches and kicks me out. And it happens every time when I try to do that. So yeah. Overall the app is amazing with many cool features to explore. And includes a lot of information about any planet.

Not too bright. I thought the app was too complicated. My kids wanted to use it for a science project and the names of stars were no where what they thought they were. For instance we are in Melbourne and the kids wanted to find the Southern Cross but your app does not list it as this so we fiddle faddled trying to find it. I had to firstly find Orion and go from there. Yeah I guess you need to be a fully fledged astronomer to use it.

Amazing. Been using this app for around 4 months and it always helps me to see we’re planets are when i’m stargazing and it tells me when the iss is visible, which is always cool to look at through my telescope. Overall, amazing app :)

Fantastic !. There is simply no better way to get kids interested in the stars and constellations above ( and below ) us ! Keep up the great work !

It’s awesome. I remember having a stargazing app before but it wasn’t as good as this one. It’s good to look at the sky without having to go outside with all the mosquitos and even if it’s cloudy you don’t need to bother about mourning because there’s no stars out because you have this app. It’s great to know what constellations you are looking at or even if there is that one orange dot off in the distance you may realise that this isn’t just a orange dot but it’s Mars or a part of the Milky Way. It’s great to know what beauties of the world are above or below us. I also love the news because then I can look them up myself if I want more info because they are always interesting and fun to read. Another good thing about this app is the fact that if you click on a star, satellite, planet or moon it will will give you great info also with a better look at the object with the 3D imagery. As you can see this is a great app and I hope that you download it because it is out of this world. ;)

Let down. Always wanted an app like this and thought this was it. It’s daytime though I’m still able to see the position of the constellations. Though when I pointed my phone at the sun it didn't show up. I scrolled around looking for it and it showed the sun in a different position. If the suns position is incorrect so is the rest of the app.

Amazing. It’s awesome to have the ability to point your phone up at the sky and see all the constellations and I was surprised by how many constellations there actually where. By far one of my favorite apps ever

Pretty good but glitchy and have to redownload. Every like 5 lunches theres this unfixable thing where its stuck at the horizon and when i move my phone it stays there but tracks horizontally horrible and stops after a bit and its very robotic

Stop with the ads already. I get it. You want us to pay for the subscription. Perhaps it unseemly to be too critical of a free app and I understand a certain level of promotion in any free app. But to have the subscription pop-up take over the app half a dozen times in the four minutes I was using it was quite ridiculous (including every time I opened it). Definitely won’t be upgrading and indeed will find another app to do what I was using this one for.

Really boring. It looked way better on the AppStore it’s soooooooo boring and I also thought that you could trace the stars and it is not addictive at all. I got an email saying that they’re sorry and I say it’s no problem but it definitely looks better on App Store I am not sure if I just don’t like it because I am bad at it but definitely not for me.

Night Sky Pro no longer works. I purchased Night Sky Pro on my iPad an upgrade to this App and no longer works and no longer can I down load it. Not sure what’s going on. Can you help. This version is ok but I purchased the Pro and not longer works. It sounds as if I have done my money. Can you write un update for it please so it works. Thanks Joe It seems to have changed to a subscription but I purchased it before it did, why doesn’t my original version work

Great app. It’s a great app with all these amazing features and information at the palm of your hand. I have one issue though, when I want to view planets or stars in AR mode, sometimes the app suddenly shuts off. Then I go back in and start all over again and the same thing happens. Is there a fix to it?

One word AWESOME..!!!. All the geeks and astronomy bug bitten people out there this is the best app to checkout literally everything in our skies..whether it may be a planet a constellation, nebulae or say man made satellites nothing is hidden from night sky’s radar. And also the added camera/photography feature is awesome. Definitely 5 stars to this one.

The best way to locate what is in the heavens above. I had the version before this one and I was telling a friend how wonderful it was. So I downloaded this new one and he was amazed. I see now you locate StarLink which is an amazing service. Plus all the other space vehicles. The ISS is one of my favourits. I’m a radio amateur and we can use Oscar satellites to carry and download Pakets of data. It is a wonderful hobby. I look forward to investigating the sky above. Thank you VK4CNQ Nick

Awesome app. I can’t speak highly enough about it. I had a different app on my iPhone and it was always out to the right by at least 3 degrees. I started using this one and it immediately started hitting the sky exactly correctly. What I was seeing was exactly what was on the screen. I couldn’t be happier.

This game is amazing 🤩. The quality is amazing and everything is accurate. Definitely Recommend to astronomy fans and star gazers.

Absolutely fantabulous. This is by far THE BEST educational app I’ve ever had, Pros: - it has amazing premium pack. - it does NOT force you to go premium by playing ad videos every time you touch the screen. - 1 month free trail premium - fully adjustable/customisable according to personal preferences. - ABILITY TO VIEW THE SKY FROM MOON. - real and semi animated sky options to choose. - even the full free version is fantastic with all of the features mentioned above. ——————- Cons: - the setting is a bit complicated Ps, setting complication might be because of my English knowledge as it’s my second language Overall I’m absolutely happy with this app, and really really hope that I could upgrade to premium but unfortunately I just can’t do it at the moment.

Absolutely amazing. There are many night sky navigation apps out there but this one is by far the best. The amount of features on it is outstanding and they aren’t blocked by a payed subscription. This app has helped me countless times with my stargazing and when the conditions are best. 5/5

Epic. This stargazing app is so epic! I like how you developers are so active fixing every bug that I come across! Also reading about the planets and moons really surprised me! Keep up the good work!

Night sky X failure to live up to its hype.. Down loaded the app. Nice colourful picture. Nowhere to set it up to suit your location. At 19:30 it set the sun with all planets in the wrong location. Unable to follow the sky with the phone. Unable to align with compass direction, eg True North to calibrate. Screen swirls around a central point as you move. I tried it a few years back as well before it was so colourful. Deleted it then and will do the same now.

This App is fantastic and ideal for beginner star gazers.. Wether Your an amateur or an expert, you should download this to your iPhone or iPad. Extremely accurate. 10/10in my personal opinion.

I don’t like it I love it. So I had a fire pit and I was going through a lot of apps until I found this one I thought it was going to be really bad but I love it bye bye

My favorite app. Night Sky is my favorite app by far. It’s the only app I pay for. I’ve been using it for almost three years now and it’s the only app I can see or understand the universe around me with. It has more features than I know what to do with. I mostly use it to identify, and learn about objects in the night sky.

Amazing! Using it for school studies and projects.. This is such an amazing app like, honestly! It’s so accurate that I’ve been getting A+’s for every space project yet! Again, outstanding detail xx

Cannot purchase. Tried 8 times to purchase this app. Every time it says cannot purchase because I am not connected to the Internet. Tried wi-fi, 4G, force quit the app, restarted phone. Nothing worked. Every time the same message. Tried Safari and other apps that use the Internet and they all work fine. The problem is not on my end it is on their end. Complete waste of time. What a joke.

Need a bug fix. Overall a great all, I absolutely enjoy using it. However there is a bug. I used to live in the northern hemisphere, and when I click on a star the app displays info about its times of rising and setting based on my geolocation. I recently moved to down under, and all of a sudden everything is wrong. Take Canopus for an example. It’s so bright up in the night sky at 6.30pm on 10 April, however the app says it’s below horizon and rises at 7.05am. It appears that the info was still based on the northern hemisphere. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, making sure my location is correctly shown in the app, but no help. I believe this is an easy fix and will this app a killer for stargazers.

subscription pop up thing is annoying. the app is really good but there 1 thing about it that makes me not wanna use it. whenever i zoom in on a planet or up in the sky or even just looking around the stupid pop up subscription thing always comes up and it’s SOO ANNOYING but great app

Mind blowing ... app worth having. This app feeds into curiosity and connects with the real world... I mean vast space in which we all are. Thank you for making this app. And keep building on it.

Hardly worth it. The detail is too much for star gazing and yet not enough to find the star you’re looking for. It needs to match the sky you are seeing with the detail coming only when you zoom. And if you could search for RA & Dec this would be quite good but sadly, not worth the subscription fee.

Absolutely love this app! I wish I had found it earlier. Really impressive! This app is so intuitive, and there’s a great array of filters, and even more features! When you point your device at a specific star, it will show all the information possibly available regarding it’s history, trajectory etc. I haven’t even scratched the surface yet, I’m going to feel like a noob for a while yet.

Music of the Spheres. This App is remarkable in its responsiveness to compass points, accuracy regarding position of celestial entities, and the identification of constellations with beautiful graphics. The Music of the Spheres which accompanies the App is also extraordinary and has a meditative quality, which heightens the sense of awe in viewing the Cosmos from this perspective.

Awesome app just wish it was a once off purchase. Easily one of if not the best app for stargazing on ios. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is like so many other apps the devs have gone with the subscription model for the premium version. I would happily buy premium if it was a once off payment but I don't want another subscription to pay for. On that it would be great to disable the constant prompts to upgrade aswell, can get a bit annoying when using the app.

Our galaxy is amazing 🤩. It an good app to star 🌟 gaze but it’s nothing like how I thought it was going to be. I’ve had it before and I loved it but I restarted my phone so it got deleted I think that it was updated and changed but to be honest there’s to many star 💫 that no one knows about and does not want to know about

Restore purchases broken?. I thought I had purchased this app a few years ago so I tried to restore purchases after I had to reset my phone, but it just sits on a loading icon and never does anything.

Wonderful. Hypnotic, especially while I am using it outside with the background music on low. Wondrous, emphatically wonderful to be able to determine the identity of so many objects while I am actually looking at them in the sky. Thank you.

Fantastic. I’ve only played around with this for a little while but I can instantly tell this is amazing, it really blew my mind about how small we are, just little unimportant life forms on a floating rock. We will never do anything important with our lives because if we die, if earth is destroyed it won’t matter nothing matters life is meaningless.

App has become more sophisticated. App not as intuitive as it used to be, but then has become more powerful. I will spend some time learning it.

Great App. Never knew my way around the biggest parts of my own neighborhood. Now I have a roadmap and I’m finding my way around a little. Jupiter is a real thing now. My world is so much bigger. I now know what I’m looking at in a way I never saw before. Very cool. Very empowering. The kids love it so much too.

Simply WOW. !. I’ve had this Fantastic app for 3 or 4 days know and I can’t begin to tell you just how fantastic it truly is. There are just so many features that I’d spend a lot of time explaining. If your into the Universe you simply have to have this one , believe me .

Crazy. Wow. Dats really one of the best apps I've ever had the chance to experience. Thank you

Not what I was hopping for ☹️🙁. I really like to see the cosmos but when ever I touch something it makes it show me where you have to pay, and I just want to play not pay ok ☹️☹️☹️

Not good. 0 /10 It I pretty, but I don’t like

L’immensité. C’est grandiose Fabuleux et Merveilleux Merci

It’s cool but you have to pay eventually. It’s a good app but you have to pay an arm + 1 Leg. it’s too expensive

Affichage. Ce serait bien pouvoir cacher la Voie lactée et présenter les étoiles visible s le plus prêt d’eux soleil ou plus visible

Constant Disturbance while viewing. Great informative app. However when viewing the objects, it keeps on constantly ask you to update to premium, or accept some offer or to enable location. Why does this appear repeatedly even after dismissing multiple times! Might be the only reason why I am uninstalling this app

Amazing. Astounded me

星空. 星空能看到星我没看过的星星 许

Rip off. From one of the greatest apps I have ever owned, now it is version "X" and tries to trick me into spending $36.xx for an annual subscription with no explanation of any change, upgrade in service or any improvement whatsoeverr! WYF

No Notice of subscription about to start. No Notice of subscription about to start

Awesome app. Amazing app you can look at all the stars and all the constellations that are there and also you can zoom into the planets and look at them it’s really cool so I really like this app it’s super fun please give it five star review

Review. Can’t read the writing

Star gazing. So cool to see so many sculptures, satellites and planets! It's very beautiful!

NightSky. Excellent App that should be on the perquisite list in every school system in the country. A very creative learning tool that initiates interest in science and space and provides a platform for young learners to broaden their interests in these areas.

Scammers. This app purchased a year subscription on its own when I didn’t even have possession of my phone for 3 months and the company are very rude on the phone and hung up on me . DO NOT DOWNLOAD ITS A SCAM

Sweet Dreams!. My sleep is always so much better after using night sky!

Ok app, with caveats. To address the negative reviews about scam and unwanted subscriptions: it's partially true. The app will not subscribe to anything on its own, but it does frequently and intrusively present its offer at inopportune moments and someone not careful could easily agree to something unwanted. It's not on par with many other apps in that regard. Next, the calibration was way off, by about 180 degrees. In fact it couldn't be more off. Overall disappointed.

Night Sky. I pretty cool

Rip off. I paid for this app then they go and ask for a monthly subscription. Switch and bait at it worst. 😥

maladresse. trop presse de retrouver la mienne quelque part là-haut

Rip off alert. Do not buy this app, I payed for it around 5 years ago. It was a one time purchase. Now they started charging me 2.79 a month for it out of left field, not even sure how they are even doing this because I didn’t agree to anything. They should be sued.

Video. Supper good star gazing app just the video mode doesn’t work for some reason on the astrophotography mode

One problem. You should add a clear view mode Like where it’s like on the main screen

Too complicated.. Liked the old version. Place your iPad in the sky and everything is labeled. Now there is so much to decipher I would rather not use the app

Frustrated. I haven’t had this app downloaded to my device or utilized its functions in ages but still receive emails that I’m being charged for its services. How can I unsubscribe or be reimbursed (which I’m guessing isn’t going to happen)?

Used 9.7mb of cellular data in the background. Great app but in the last 5 days it’s used 9.7 mb of cellular data when I’ve not even opened the app. I’ve obviously turned the cellular access off for the app but why is it even doing that? I also do not agree with a monthly/annual subscription model for nothing extra, price gouging customers shows greed and lack of respect. You’d also be advised to read icandy privacy and data use policy, available below.

Night. Sky

Inaccuracies. Deleted app after about 10 minutes. I clicked the info icon for the Witch Head Nebula and it showed me a photo of a spiral galaxy.

Scam app. Did not authorize being charged for this app. When i cancelled the subscription, i was charged anyway. Total scam.

Absolutely Amazing!. Adore this app, and I’m using the free version! Without paying you get a great app. I’d get premium if you are big into stars and astronomy, but if you’re like me and just want to star gaze and look at constellations, free works perfectly.

Hmmmm.... Excited to learn that there was an app available and once I downloaded it wanted money and now I am going to delete. Too complicated.

In love. Love earth

Nice app. You really helped me do astronomy. We wouldn’t found all the cool photo if it wasn’t for you.

Crashes. Used to work, quite well and enjoyed it while it did. It crashes immediately after opening since upgrade. Tried deleting and re-installing, same result unfortunately

It used to be a fine app. When I first purchased Night Sky, it worked really well, but since then, there are several "Premium" features and adverts for them. In addition, the app is clunky now and difficult to calibrate because I need to do so every time I use the app.

PAID APP. Membership or free trial only

Interesting app. This is a strange app, kind of cool and a bit of fun. There is one huge problem, for me at least. All of the labels take too long to disappear and if you move your device even the tiniest bit, all the labels pop back up. I have turned everything off in settings but that does not remove everything. The ability to remove everything but the night sky is something that I wonder how a gesture like that was missed.

Closing all the time on my iPad. Simply can’t use the app. Had the app as a sky reference. I can’t spot a comet or constellation and try to align that the app shuts off. Pointless.

Compass points keep disappearing. So annoying, why do the compass points keep disappearing from the horizon view? I keep reinstalling software to bring back, a real pain!

Harassment. I got the « free trial » after 2 days I deleted the app but after a month it doesn’t stop sending me notifications to pay BUT I DONT USE IT AND I DONT HAVE IT!! Someone can do something for it thanksss

Amazing. I love it 100% every one should have it!!!! It’s so amazing to see the stars on the app now!!! ♈️♈️😀😀😀😀🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️♥️😎😎🦌🦌😁👻👻👽👽👽👽👽👽👩‍🚀🧑‍🚀

Excellente application. La meilleure application du moment. Celle-ci fonctionne à merveille sur mom Apple watch série 8 depuis la dernière mise à jour de septembre. Félicitation à toute l’équipe pour ce magnifique travail.

Sound is annoying. Add a menu icon to turn it off!

Brightness. The stars and objects in a app are to bright, I cannot see the actual stars on a sky through my phone screen because of that. I would prefer it could recognize the objects on real sky. The best if brightness would be adjustable

10/10 App. Amazing app for astrology, would recommend!

Great!. I LOVE STARS!! This app is a great way to look at different constellations, however, I wish it had more features. The app itself is easy to manuever and is helpful to stargazers like me! There’s always room for improvements, but overall great app!!

Excellent. Gives you a clear picture of the constipations and easy to use. Would defiantly recommend this.

Very confusing UI. I like this app for basic viewing put the user interface is very confusing if you are doing something non-trivial. For example tracking the international space station is very difficult. First you have to search by text for the station and the search function does not remember old searches or favorites. Then the search function may or may not create a location arrow and if it does the arrow disappears with no rhyme or reason. Finally the search subject is not magnified or highlighted in any significant way so it is hard to locate on the screen.

Where the?!. This app is CRAZY inaccurate as far as where you are located in relation to where you are supposed to be looking vs where you actually are. I got this app because my 5yo is curious about the night sky and the constellations within it, he first asked what that first very bright star in the sky was(Venus) but this app claimed it was some other star& in order to find Virgo I literally had to turn us 180degrees from where Venus actually is. I’m uninstalling this app and definitely requesting a refund. I can’t remember if they charged me, but they should have to pay for all the confusion and subsequent disinterest this app has resulted in subjecting my toddler to. Maybe this is an alien app and it’s accurate on the planet the developers hail from, all I know is it’s not relevant to where WE are.

Speechless. I am never at a loss for words but slap me naked and steal my clothes wait until you see this thing this is coming on a telephone imagine you’re up in your Gulf Stream 11 Your honey bunny is on your lap your pilot is looking straightahead ignoring you and you were saying to your friend yeah honey there’s a well let’s see there’s some Orion this is off the chain this is off the Hook you got to get this download this if they were 10 stores they get 10 stars I mean funny a five star rating for this thing we got a how

Best star gazing app ever!!. It is amazing it just is awesome and perfect. Please take this review to consideration this really is the best stargazing ever he gives clear pictures of all the stars in hand planets along with the different space stations in orbit as long as you hover over it.I am also not like it’s a fake review or anything maybe foreign a half star review would make it more obvious it really does deserve the five stars a new insulation from whoever reads this so please download Night sky not sponsored or anything either it’s just awesome.

Buggy, zooms too quickly, more:. As the title stated if you pinch to zoom it goes way way too quickly and becomes uncontrollable and you lose whatever you’re trying to focus on. Also the search function doesn’t always work and as far as I can tell when you put in something that doesn’t give a result it doesn’t tell you “No results” it just shows nothing. I know that’s nitpicky but it’s also very counterintuitive. And finally it appears that not everything is cataloged in this app because i’ve been using it for the last few weeks to try and identify a star that I keep seeing in the sky and it can’t do it. Maybe you need the premium version to get everything because the free version certainly isn’t even worth downloading.

Rogue application. I just discovered, since the most recent update, Night Sky will fire up in its own in the background day or night, start playing its “stargazing music,” heat up your CPU, and munch your battery up like candy. All without your interaction. I thought my phone was possessed. It would start playing this kinda creepy music at any time. Sitting at work, trying to sleep, at the drive through, in the bathroom. It took killing my phone and reviewing the battery history to figure out what it was. Very nice feature! Does whatever it wants in the background and serves as a stand-in for a newborn baby. Want little sleep and a very expensive but otherwise dead hand-warmer? Install Night Sky. Better yet get your buddy to install it and get your popcorn ready for the eventual psychotic break.

Used to be favorite app. Used to love this app and there are multiple settings that have been lost over time. The last nail in the coffin is this new “widget” design which informs me that URANUS is Going Down. It used to show me stargazing conditions and weather and more useful things. Super lame evolution of what could’ve been a useful tool. You used to be able to change visibility and now you can’t. You used to be able to change the date/time of the stars you’re looking at easily. Now I can’t figure out how to close the absurdly over informative pop ups that have tiny text. Again, super disappointed as a star lover that this app has succumbed to “look” instead of function. Sorry night sky.

About the whole night sky. Can’t see the constellations go to the app/play store and search up Night Sky This app is really useful for many of reasons. Going to our first reason you can see any constellations with this app even thought it’s foggy or cloudy or any other weather. Secondly if you have trouble looking at constellations like me just go to The app night sky and you will now know theses constellation in no time! I wouldn’t miss out if I were you! There are many more reasons but I would like you to check the app out first and then tell the community your opinions! Bye

best star app I have see. unbiased review, real user. just get the full version and play with it until you get the hang of it. There are so many features. Revealing all that is layered in there feels like your finding new easter eggs all the time. An incredible app that a lot of work. It's clear a lot of thought was put into it. Completely puts that Astronomy 101 class I took in college 30 years ago to shame. Anyone one who gripes of wishes for more, well then step up and make your own app. Otherwise for the good of all just promote this one without whine.

Amazing!. Honestly I’m usually really skeptical about these apps because a lot of them are so frustrating to use. This one however was so easy to use and the layout is beautiful! My family and I decided to stargaze and we saw what we thought were just bigger stars than usual ones, but turned out to actually be Saturn and Jupiter, along with other planets. It was really amazing and informative and I had a lot of fun using it! Thanks for the amazing app, it’s definitely worth and it’s free! You can’t go wrong. 💖

Very disappointing. I absolutely loved this app. And then the crashing started happening in the freezing. How can something so great be so crappy at the same time? This app would be great if you didn’t cram it with all your pop-ups. Like I know that there’s a paid version and I don’t need to be reminded every 10 seconds of this or anytime I try to interact with the app. Because when that happens it’s like there’s an overload in the thing freezes and crashes. So until you guys can fix this and not be so greedy having a blast your pop-ups everywhere all the time I’ll be looking for a different app which is very disappointing because this is an excellent app if it weren’t for the freezing and the pop-ups and all the other crap that I don’t want.

Man this is cool!. It is so cool! I saw something cool one morning. It was that other planets go to the future from earth! That sure was cool! Like maybe one, two, and one hundred years in the years in the future. Probably close to that. I didn’t know that there are stars that look the sun! Even a blue sun like star? There sure was. It has a lot of galaxies, planets, dwarf planets, and structures of planets. Try it today! I am really wanting to be an astronaut who discovered new planets, dwarf planets, galaxies, and maybe aliens if they exist!

Not good at its most basic function.. All I want to do is know what star/planet I’m looking at in the sky. There’s literally one bright light, it’s probably Venus, but I’m not sure. I open up this app, point the phone at the sky and there’s a lion along with zillions of other stars and planets. There is no way to tie in what I’m seeing on screen to what is in the actual sky I’m seeing. If there is a way to get all the extraneous garbage off the screen and simply have the app identify the one visible point of light in the sky? Also, I’m pretty sure in paid $6 to support this app in 2012 and somehow lost premium. Now there are ads for premium everywhere. Too much content and not good at its original mission of identifying stars you see in the night sky.

Buggs.....? Need fixing...... I tend to redownload this app often to look at the sky n stars and now for some reason it’s almost “freezing” and not “responding to touch” and then screen just goes black and I’m back at my home screen never had this issue ever before it was always the one that never seemed to have a “glitch..?” Or what u will call it....and one of my favs might keep for a few days to see if issues get resolved if not then ill redownload again in a few days or a week and see if issues is still happening plz fix one of my fav apps and now it’s not really enjoyable when it “freezes and backs out to home screen”!!! TIA!(thanks in advance)

Bill Larned. I’m very pleased with this application. The colors and twinkling stars, galaxies and other celestial objects are a wonder to see. My girlfriend bought me a subscription to Astronomy magazine after witnessing my interest in the night sky. Now I can study what I read in real time. I love how my screen follows and identifies different celestial objects. I recently purchased a parabolic dish to bounce microwave signals off of the moon for my amateur radio hobby. This app will be very helpful in planning/timing of where to point my dish, while also enjoying the heavens. Thank you!

Amazing, but also troublesome. The shear amount of information in this app is incredible. From rocket bodies to knowing exactly where the ISS is to little details about each planet. This app is great for that. The flip side, is due to the volume of stars, most of which cant be seen with the naked eye even on a clear night in the middle of nowhere, is that identifying the bright star you see in the sky is actually challenging. If there was a way to filter, or at least dim the options in the UI so that identifying the biggest/brightest stars in the sky easier, it would really help.

Stars Planets & ISS. Really love being able to know when the planets and ISS come up. We head out to see them in clear evenings. Not sure why my notifications are not sounding anymore even though they are still on. My notifications are all set to on. I tried turning a couple (the sun and ISS)off then back on but still not getting. I do get the notification telling the star gazing conditions for the day but not everyday. It worked great for the first few days then nothing. Any other suggestions?

WHY IS IT SO WONKY ON APPLE TV??. Just trying to click on a planet or anything with the Apple TV remote is pure torture. Doing anything on this app on Apple TV is nearly impossible and not worth the trouble. The app is SO hypersensitive and the remote has a mind of its own so the cursor slides around everywhere, it takes several tries to keep the cursor steady on the item you want to look at and click on it before the cursor decides that you should instead look at something else. I like the app a lot, but can’t imagine paying for it. Please fix this.

I don't know what the app is trying to tell me. App is fine. But I am always getting notifications about stuff. But it never says what the notification is for -- or at least I can't find it. Tonight it's trying to tell me something about the moon. I follow the notification to the app, the app has an arrow that points me to the moon. But what about it???? We see the moon every night. Why is it giving me a notification now? Is it full? Is it a new moon? Did it just rise? Sometimes it points to other stuff. But why?? I wish there was some text that indicates what I am looking at and what celestial event is deamed worthy of notification :(

Night Sky. As with almost everyone who uses this app I find it fascinating and opens my eyes and mind as to all that is in the WHOLE Universe - of course this make feel even more insignificant that usual😊😊but I would rather keep on looking! AS WILL ALL WHO TRYTHIS APP AND OTHERS THAT ATE SIMILAR!: stop procrastinating and get on board so to speak!! I main regret is being unable to afford the full subscription - albeit the some problem exists on all the other apps I’d love to get on board with!! Not to fret!- I’ll simply enjoy what I have JohnH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😊🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇨🇮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

Fun to see but clunky to use. This app has good information but it’s swept away from you through clunky controls. Randomly zooming in or zooming away, being thrown completely away from whatever it is you’re zooming into, trying to tap the info button next to an objects name only for it to change to another object, randomly switching between swipe viewing to phone orientation viewing… If the controls were more streamlined and simple it would be far more accessible to the average user. Otherwise, like I said, there is good info shown when you can get it, and the graphics are nice.

Initially had problems but now fixed. I initially had problems getting it to run on my iPhone 13 mini, but fixed with multiple restarts., thanks to great communications from the developer. I like this app best because it gives me a great simulated view of the sky as I hold the phone up to the sky and turn in the direction of sky features I wish to know more about… And allows me to merge the actual night sky with the simulation for better identification of planets, stars, and constellations.

The universe is always with you. You are the universe. The universe is you.. I LOVE this app. I’ve seen a few similar apps with the same concepts but never any this complex, affordable, detailed, or intriguing. I’m a space cadet and tend to get bored with apps that aren’t totally necessary. I genuinely enjoy Night Sky. I go out of my way to check it out. It’s absolutely stunning. So thank you to all the designers, developers, and knowledgeable creators. Check it out guys! I’ve never written a review on another app. Ever. That’s how much I admire having Night Sky in my pocket. 💚🌌🪐💙💙🪐🌌💚

BEST APP FOR STARGAZING EVER!!. Where do I even start? This app is so well made and really shows you what is in the sky! I don’t think that you’ll ever find such a good app quite like this. I have this project that we have to do in school and it envolves going outside and looking at the sky without all of the light pollution. And it is so hard to look at the sky with all the pollution that we have. So this app really helps! It makes my “looking at the sky” project so much easier and I would so recommend. I have told all my friends about this app and they love it!!! So worth it!!!

The knowledge of the heavens at your fingertips. A few things could be better about location precision or how far the star is from another known star , but other than that i love the fact that you can learn about the science side of the cosmos as well as the ancient beliefs and names of them wish their was more detail on constellations from different cultures but ill have to try the full version first. Also bot complaining about anything good quality app just wish i knew for sure the star im looking at is the one i click on on here.

Restore purchase. Hi! I absolutely love the app, big space nerd here and due to the light pollution in my area sky gazing isn’t always so easy & this app works wonders for the imagination. Anyway, I had purchased the yearly plan not too long ago before I had to hard reset my phone and wipe it. I installed the app again and attempted to restore my purchase but the app says “restore failed. please check your subscription.” I was wondering if there’s any way to fix this?? I desperately love all the premium features and would like to get them back. 5 stars once fixed- thank you.

Fun and interactive, free version is pretty cool too.. I would normally throw up a full five stars, and don’t expect 100% of an app this capable to not offer its most advanced capabilities for a fee. Saying that, I do wish there was more available to the free download. You certainly get more than what you pay for though. This has become a really neat nightly pop-open smile that makes me feel better about some idle time later in the evening. I have been replacing the mindless games with educational/intellectual materials and have found the practice to be quite fulfilling. Thanks Night Sky

Our Universe. I enjoy this sight. We lived in a rural area in New York State where we could lie on our backs outside and se more and more Stars & Planets the longer we stayed. It seems there must be thousands of planets in other solar systems like ours with life. It’s a good feeling knowing there are countless millions of other stargazers looking into the same dark night and feeling like us, in awe of it’s immensity. Maybe we’ll meet other life and hopefully they will be peaceful and friendy. One can only hope. We are only one small planet in all of this that goes for eternity.

This app is amazing. This app has so many things to explore, discover, see and learn. One of the most amazing things are that you can see information and how you can see everything from different objects. It’s amazing! I just love it so much! And once again, It’s Amazing! Also thank you a lot for getting the idea of this app and making it. 😀 That’s why I knew I should have put 5 stars it’s just to good! Also special thanks to Javier for giving the inspiration of downloading it. And it was worth it. Thank you!🤩🤩🤩🤩

Not a good free experience. I installed the app to see what stars and planets were becoming visible in the twilight sky. It was almost useless as every few minutes a pop up wanting me to buy the app kept opening. Out of frustration I uninstalled the app after about 10 minutes. The next day I noticed the app name was showing at the top of the screen with the location arrow. Sure enough. Even though the app was uninstalled and not list in the settings, it was listed under Location Services. I can only conclude it was still sending location data after the main app files were deleted. To me this meet the requirements to be considered spyware. When I tried to contact the developer through their website site it fails to send my message.

The life experience of this app. This is amazing it actually helps you visualize of what it looks like you can see the shapes of words in there and it will be very very helpful for other kids I want to be archaeologist are people that study the sky it’s not fair that people can’t see this. Whenever I see this I think of something that’s amazing something that’s wonderful but when other people are dumb space when I have fun I’ll never take time because space has its own language of saying I love you since

Don’t leave home without it!!!. Night Sky is my all time 4STAR APP!!! It makes every vacation a magnificent journey at night!!! From Sequoia National Park to Sleeping Bear Dunes to our family cabin at Rough River in Kentucky, family, friends and all the little people in the family are fascinated and captivated by this unique app of the universe. Just tonight, getting ready for bed, I glanced out my window for a quick scan and suspected I saw Saturn.. I took my phone off the charger to confirm my prediction... Night Sky shows Saturn. ITS WONDERFUL MAGIC!!!! Thanks Night Sky!!! GOOD NIGHT... Pam Sheehan in LouisvilleKY USA

Great Tool to Learn and Teach With!. I adore this app and have recommended it to several people, including home school parents. I love that whatever direction you aim the phone at, it tells you what is out in space. Even when pointing straight down, you can see what is on the other side of the earth. I love being able to find out what I am looking at and the options for seeing how constellations look and are imagined. The fact it shows what satellites are out there too is great. Amazing app that will leave you in awe of the universe.

Used to love it, now very unimpressed.. They’ve got some of the best graphics and appealing visual designs for the sky, but suddenly you’re attacked by pop-ups and ads advertising their subscriptions, even more than once after you’ve dismissed them. They request constant location access even when the app is not open—it’s not required but they persistently asked for this data. They went as far as to hide deep within 5 sub-menus the critical Restore Purchases button, which proceeds to crash anyways. The accuracy of where exactly the solar objects line up and appears to your eye also seems to be just slightly misaligned.

Former Free Features behind Paywall?. This app is AMAZING! One thing that struck out to me was that a few days ago, I accidentally stumbled into observatories that are in my area which made me go out and visit one of those places a few days later. Today, I went back to see where else I could go, to my surprise I wasn’t able to find those places anymore. Just “Tours For You” that have to pay to unlock. Now I’m all for supporting apps that are beneficial to me. It’s just scummy that you seem to have locked away one of those features that seem to have been free not that long ago.

Help. I loaded the app and went into 'Space Travel' but can't get out. I slid the time marker all the way to 24:00 and tapped/slid every direction on the screen but I'm stuck. Not a very promising start. One star until I get a resolution.. Update: I found a way to escape 'Space Travel' besides shutting down my iPad which was the only way previously. Hidden behind the clock in the upper left corner of the screen is a set of icons I accidentally found that lets you get out. With that in mind and really really liking the tracking of space craft (ISS for example), I'm upping my rating to 5 ⭐️

Great support. This is a great app for learning about the heavens and all the beautiful works that have been created. I like how its set up and laid out with different learning tools. The light pollution percentage is also nice to know. I dont have to drive more than an hour or so and I can be in a much darker area of the state for viewing the dimmer objects. I had a little bit of an issue with using the app but a very quick reply from the support team cleared everything up. This is a great app accompanied by a great support team and I recommend it to anyone who is even just a bit curious about wonderous night sky.

Useless in the city. All i want to do is figure out what that bright star is in my city sky. Unfortunately night sky shows every single star in the sky with no way to filter by magnitude. Every attempt to filter it's data actually expands it. Think you might see the star your want, so pinch to zoom? Night sky offers additional detail, immediately drowning what you wanted to pinpoint, in more than you could possibly see unaided and all visibly similar on the screen. AR overlay to maybe help identify? A hazy mess that has no hope of mapping to the actual image in the screen. It's like if you asked for directions to the bathroom in a museum and they handed you the blueprints to the building, all floors superimposed into the same sheet. Thanks?

Really cool and informative, but a bit of information overload for a beginner. The app has been pretty fun to look at and mess around with, but I have a bit of trouble with it if I’m trying to find a constellation in the sky. Near where I live there are usually only 20-30 stars in the sky you can see, so trying to find constellations can be tough since it always shows every star in the sky as well as all the satellites. It would be nice if you could have a setting to filter all the stars and satellites out except the ones in constellations and planets and such.

A MUST HAVE for astronomy lovers!! 🌍🌙🌌✨. Okay, so I am a HUGE space fan, and I love this app! I like all the cool features, like you can zoom in on the planets, find all the stars, and I also find the glass constellation effect pretty cool. This is a must have if you like stars, planets, astronauts, galaxies, or are even just bored and want to have something to do. So much fun, and I love how there’s also an information button on it so you can learn about the thing you clicked on. That’s all I have to say, and this is definitely going to be one of my favorite apps!

This is amazing....ly inaccurate.... Hold on a second, this app always had an AR feature. Except it used to come with the app purchase and didn't require a yearly subscription... I'll leave my original review below, which describes the quality of the AR feature before it required a subscription. Make your own judgement. Original review: The idea is amazing, but the auto-tracking feature is useless. At least it is on my iPhone 4. Even after calibrating my compass and locating an impeccable 3G signal this app struggles to pan an inch across the sky even while I spin myself around in circles. Slowly, quickly, portrait, landscape.. it doesn't matter. I wish there was a constellation search feature so I could use it as a nice looking constellation locater, but alas.. all I can use this for is a stripped down version of google sky.

Great first impression. The pay ad came up immediately, I x’ed it out, and was able to show my friend constellations and talk about the stars as they appeared on the screen. Gorgeous models, very detailed and easy to use interface. Way better than SkyView where you have to pay to see the constellations. For my use case, Night sky was excellent: it complimented and enhanced my experience, I am keeping it on my phone, and will probably consider a paid version. Btw no login or whatever for the free version; it was so easy to use. Thank you devs great ux ❤️

Beautiful and awe-inspiring…and a small bug. App is well designed and looks great to me. I have a lot of fun using the AR modes to see what is beyond my ceiling. Only reason for 4 stars is I keep encountering a bug where info pages for planets do not scroll correctly. When I attempt to scroll to read more text, it jumps back to the very beginning, no matter where in the text I am in. Then I have to hunt for the spot I was at and if I touch it again, it will jump to the beginning again 😅 Doesn’t ruin the app but it makes it hard to read. I otherwise love this app’s presentation of our amazing sky

Amazing App!. I really love this app! It helps me at night locate stars and planets so I do not have to look for them. The astrophotography section helps me with taking photos through my telescope! I have recently upgraded to premium and I am super satisfied with what was provided to me. Their is so much more to offer with premium for only $10 a year! Thats a steal! I do however have 1 problem. I am being constantly prompted to rate it for lovie awards. I have said no thanks, but it will not stop prompting me. Could any devs possibly help me with this?

Love this app!!!. I love this app! It has really enhanced my interest in what’s in my local night sky. Being able to use some filtering really helps me to narrow down what is available for view in my night sky. I still sometimes have a hard time looking at the image on the app and then finding some of those same objects in the sky, but maybe a ‘you are looking at this’ like feature will be available in a later version for some common night sky objects to help orient those of us who need it. 😊

I used to love it. I am sure this app is great for many however it used to be way easier to find the major sky objects and zoom in on them. Now the app is just too cluttered and too sensitive to easily use it quickly. I have read the directions and watched the tutorials but even after decluttering with settings and adjusting the sensitivity I find it laborious to find simple objects now. I used the older versions years ago and they were much better. I am glad they are innovating but there needs to be a way to find bright objects quickly and easily.

Not user friendly, basically ad for paid version. I like knowing what I’m looking at and the thought of being able to see the ISS was pretty cool. I live in a city, there are definitely not as many bodies that are visible as the app shows, would be nice to have a setting to adjust for light pollution since there is a map. The layout was not very intuitive, and the tutorial was long and difficult to understand as a novice to astronomy. I could have lived with those issues, but it seemed like pressing any option in any screen works trigger an ad for the paid version where selecting no thanks takes you to a different screen than where you cane from. Unless the paid version was intuitive and adjusted for any light condition, basically a different app, then I wouldn’t even consider buying.

There’s a problem. Well why I’m saying it’s 5 stars is because I like this app, but the problem is that when we look from ceres and we tap on planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, their purple lines go all across the screen, if we click on Pluto, there’s this purple line that looks like a spring across the screen, If we touch Mercury, or Venus, they cover 1 third of the screen, If we touch earth than it’s a half of the screen and same for mars, But yeah it would be nice if you fix it :)

Pretty but useless. I really tried to like this app but it’s useless for finding anything in the night sky, even if you already know your way around the constellations like I do. All the labels are too small to read and nothing appears in the right location of the sky . But the worst thing is, I downloaded it to track the ISS but even if It does notify me that something is supposed to be visible, it doesn’t tell me where to look !!! The search function doesn’t work very well either Evan if you can figure out how to use it and the tutorial is just a sales pitch that doesn’t show you how to use the app at all. It just shows you the features.

I’ve had this app for years, big improvements. But... I’ve had this since the days of IPhone 4 and it’s always been great. This latest version has a ton of improvements- better AR. A ton of new info, detailed moonscape, lot of cool features. Etc. However, the one thing that is driving me absolutely nuts now is I am constantly getting the pink full screen to “subscribe, free trial.” This just pops up all the time at random times as I’m touring the skies. I know this is the new trend with many apps, a way to make money - I get it. It just becomes a turn off when it keeps asking me 10-15 times as I browse through the interface.
