Sky Guide App Reviews

Best sky app available. If you’re willing to pay a few dollars a month, this is, by far the best app available. It has everything. I’ve been using the Sky Guide app to help plan my astrophotography for a few years now. When they added the field of view I was pretty excited. The field of view lets you visualize what a view through your telescope would look like as well as a photo through your telescope. Just input what camera or scope you have and voila! But now, they’ve added mosaic planner! Input your scope, camera, and how many tiles, and you’re good to go. With lots of options to export the coords. I’ll use the ASIair option! Such an amazing app that is continually updated and has been improved on with every update for several years. Great job team!!

Best App you can find period.. The only way i could rate this 5 stars without any doubt was if I designed and created it myself…only then would I rate it less due to my own criticism! Even if you have zero interest in looking at stars and planets, there is so much more to see and do! Don't second guess yourself, just pay the $2.99 and brag to all about how smart you were to get such a great app at such a great price! I did try upgrading to pro, and it wasn't what i needed, so i unsubscribed before the free trial ended, and had no problems with my account going back to the original subscription, and no charges the following month…which was Sept. and why i waited to post review. Attention App creators! This app offered an upgrade to pro, they didnt however, hassle me to, or post ninja ads in my screen to annoy me, and they were transparent about the details and then followed thru with their promises, without excuses or mistakes! You can learn from this app and its protocols. This app combined with the 13pro max night mode camera feature has allowed me to capture stars that are not visible to my eyes, and some satellites that include ISS when it was justa mere +1.3!!! (Normally it has to be -2.0 or lower to get a clear shot) including starlinks and the Pleiades.

Beautiful, Just Beautiful. Hands down the best stargazing app on the market. If the compass is confused, the app allows you to manually adjust the offset so that it shows the correct perspective. The app actually depicts the relative brightness of stars correctly, so stars like Sirius and Betelgeuse are significantly more prominent than others. What you see in the app actually matches reality. The ability to tap on stars and nebulae and get stories and facts about them is awesome. The actual graphics themselves are just beautiful too on their own. High level of customizability. Makes me want to buy the Pro version even though I don’t want it just to support the developers because this app exudes passion.

Do not go to the poles while the dark sky finder is enabled!. When I open the location settings pane with the dark sky finder enabled and get near the polar areas it causes the app to freeze and even after closing the app and reopening it I cannot change my location since even just tapping on “Location” causes the app to freeze. The only way to leave the poles is to delete and reinstall the app, not even a reboot or keeping iOS updated solves it. I’m autistic and sometimes use this deal with anxiety and this is extremely frustrating that this longstanding bug at the poles has not been fixed and has been made even worse in newer versions. Unless this is fixed I cannot give this app five stars, it’s really a shame since this is the best star map app out of all the ones I have tried and it’s marred by a glaring bug like this and this is coming from someone who has used this app for YEARS! I cannot convey how disappointed I am as an amateur astronomer and I’m even considering canceling my pro subscription unless I see a real fix soon, this really breaks my heart since no other app of this kind comes close to this.

Best Stargazing App By Far!. This is very worth the money! I use this app everyday, and I love it. My favorite part is that just by pressing the compass at the top, you can move your phone around like you are actually looking at the night sky! You can identify any star in the sky with this app. Not just that, you can see any galaxy, nebula, satellite, planet, star, etc. with this app. It is perfect for skywatching out on a clear and dark night. There is nothing to dislike about this app! I’m not just saying this just because I want to, I’m actually serious. It is super informational and notifies you of passing satellites and so much more! Please buy this app if you’re looking for an amazing stargazing app. It has EVERYTHING.

Increasingly frustrating. I’ve been a Sky Guide user for well over a decade now and I find myself becoming more and more frustrated with the continued lack of basic features. Apparently there was a comet visible to the naked eye a couple of days ago but I wouldn’t know because the sky gazing app that I annually pay for didn’t notify me of such a precious event! I also can’t set notifications for flybys or passovers of favorited objects and I can’t sync important astronomical events with my iOS calendar! I would love to know the next Starlink string flyover but this app won’t ever tell me.. These are features that you would think come at bare minimum, much less for a paid subscription.. I still find myself coming back because the design and layout of the app is top notch but the developers really need to revisit the notification and event system within the app.

For amusement and education. I recommend this app for anyone who wants to be amazed by our landscape above. It's entertaining, amusing, and educational! Lots of great features like you can hold your phone up to a specific light in the sky and find out by clicking on the screen what it is, or search for your favorite constellation or planet and have Skyguide point out where it is. You can also "fast forward" or reverse in time to see sunsets and paths of other objects in future or history. Great music track that feels like a live movie soundtrack while you use it. The creators of this app have really given us a treat! (Thank you guys!) My favorite app to use!

Beautiful, educational and mesmerizing… with one flaw. I absolutely love this app. But understand it’s not just an app. It’s a tool to guide you literally through the known parts of our universe in the palm of your hand. This tool has thousands of explanations, navigational guides, historical studies, celestial events and not to mention a very satisfying and calming musical aura. The only problem is that it doesn’t always track your movements through the sky when you’re gazing into the expanse with the camera. Many times you will have to find reference points in the sky and scroll the screen yourself to see what you’re looking at. It used to track fairly well, but now it doesn’t. I don’t know why. Regardless, it doesn’t stop me from loving this tool. I still use it very often.

Weather, Dark Sky Finder, New AR Features, WOW. I opened the Sky Guide app today after the first time in awhile. Today is January 20th, 2019 and a lunar eclipse will be visible in my area in just a couple hours. I have loved Sky Guide since the day I downloaded the app years ago. I have continued to be impressed with attention to detail the developers have added to this app and continue to use every aspect of the iPhone’s functionality to provide the best UI/UX possible for astronomy lovers everywhere. I have never really posted a thorough review of an app before on the App Store, but this app deserves way more than five stars. I am genuinely impressed time and time again every time I open the app on my iPhone XS. Thank you to the Sky Guide team for creating such a tool!

Better is worse. I’m disappointed. I’ve had this app and used it often since it was released many years ago. Always impressed by its simplicity and absence of “in app purchases”. I didn’t mind the subscription option as it did not affect the plain app functions. No more. Very disappointed that there are now fees that prevent free functions. That’s sad. At least it was fully functional for as long as it was. I’m grateful for that. One question- Why does the sky view no longer function since the update? Now the app is entirely useless. I’ve tried redownloading and restarting. No effect. Bummer ***correction- i deleted and reloaded and view mode works again! All other criticism still stands (but 3 stars are better than one)

Great and simple to use. I also use sky safari plus which has additional features that I find useful, but for a super quick easy to use app , this is just wonderful. I use this when I’m volunteering on an observation deck where we have a 20 inch refractor and a 36 inch reflecting telescope that are open to the public on a regular basis. Sky guide ends up selling itself. When I show it to people they see how useful and simple it is and they’ve purchased it on the spot. I also like the feature for the international space station and other satellites. There are some things I’d like to see changed but overall I really like the product and I use it frequently. Note that the magnetic case on the iPad seems to throw the overhead view off by some degrees

Great app. Gives you acurate position and representation of the night sky, although you have to pay to get some of the constellations. Very detailed sky and has art I a Les on many objects. Also can let you change the brightness of stars in the sky to match how your sky looks. Has lots of settings, although the realistic proportions setting that shows the effects of haze and other obscurances like light pollution does not work. But all In all, I would recommend for new people to introduce to the constellations as I was also a begged ner and new nothing about co stellations, but this helped learn them, and apart from that is also very fun to go around in and look at other wonders of the night sky. Definitely would recommend.

Great for kids!. My children and I noticed a couple really bright looking stars tonight. I was guessing that, with their size and color, they were planets, but wanted to know which ones and also what some of the other bright “stars” were in the sky. So I looked through the stars/planet apps and found this one. My kids got to bed about an hour late because we were so fascinated with everything we could see with this app!! I’m totally in love it and wish I’d downloaded it earlier!! I also usually never spend money to get upgrades for the apps, but I’m totally doing it with this one!! All I can say is get it!! You won’t be disappointed!

Far and away the best app of its kind. I’ve had this app pretty much since it was released. It is far and away the best stargazing/sky reference app available. It’s full of features and detailed information on everything- be it planets, stars, satellites, rockets, space debris, galaxies, constellations, etc. I recommend it to people all the time. Most importantly, when people start pulling their phones out to check out the sky at night, they always end up saying “wow which app is that?” and delete the one they had and download this one instead. That’s really all you need to know. Also something I like is that it doesn’t have the cartoonish feel of many similar apps. Really just can’t stress enough how much this app is better than the rest.

Upgrade was poor decision.. I’ve had this app on my iPhone & iPad for years and enjoyed it immensely. Recently I got an alert to upgrade and decided, for my photography business, it was worth it. Now, however, I cannot get the app to load on my iPhone nor my iPad. On both devices it promptly crashes. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times, powered both devices on & off multiple times, made certain my IOS was updated. Occasionally it loads & works then the next time I launch, it immediately crashes. I now consider this an unreliable app and will look for alternatives to recommend to my astrophotography students.

Amazing! Unbelievable! Thank you!. I recommend this app wholeheartedly without reservation. This app is not only beautiful to look at as well as fun and easy to use, but also full of up to date information. It has always been an app of the highest quality and well worth the price. I can’t overstate how much I appreciate the fact that although I bought this app a few years ago, it still works as it did when I bought it. I appreciate that, unlike other apps I have bought, this app has not effectively stolen my money by insisting I buy a subscription in order to continue using it, not only that but it includes up to date information! To the developers of this app: Thank you so much for your integrity in honoring my original purchase and more!

No comparison BEST star app. I’ve tried other apps that were difficult and confusing to navigate and locate certain objects and the horizon . As well as a kylines or planets , even galaxies ! Not with Star Guide not only does this app use your precise location but it gives u the BEST detailed information on your desired object and objects even in deep outer space and the images are stunning ! I haven’t upgraded to the 2 options either so I can only imagine what other breath taking images and extra information is provided with a upgraded subscription…..??? So weather u are a amateur gazer or a seasoned gazer this app is for you ! Thank you for reading . Peace to all Travis W.

Explore, teach, connect, and enjoy!. If you know the night sky, this app immediately puts details at your fingertips. If you are somewhat familiar, it will dial you in instantly. You’ll be sharing it with those around you and hear sentences starting with “I never knew...” whispered in astonishment. Set up the alerts and learn the magnificence of the ISS as it wheels across the sky. Track the planets through the summer skies. Touch the info circle next to an object and learn about Messier objects or the original Greek myths they saw reflected in their heavens. Become a citizen of the universe. This simple app has become an important part of my life that has helped bind my family together.

A SUPER MASSIVE App!. I Love looking at the sky, stars, clouds, etc. Found Sky Guide. Not only do I get to follow the stars, constellations, moon, sun, planets, comets, satellites, but I can go forward in time, backward in time, there is information about everything that is listed in the sky in the App and I keep finding more ways to use this app. I just LOVE Sky Guide. My friends and neighbors (most of who don't have computers nor internet connections, as I live in a village with mostly poor farmers) come over to look with me. They love knowing what is that bright star in the sky, what is the planet, etc... It is highly Educational and worth the money. And it works with the wifi off. Best. Best. Best! I fully suggest this App for a great hands on course in basic Astronomy. 5 Stars!!! And now with SUPERMASSIVE as an option, it just continues to blow my mind. Seeing the Galaxies , Nebulas, Planets up close is breathtaking. This app was definitely made by people who Love their subject. And I Love this app. It continues to be Amazing! Amazing!

Soo much better than SkyView. When I bought this app, I was expecting it to look a little bit better than the star-gazing app that I was using at the time: SkyView. When compared to Skyview, Sky Guide is clearly the more advanced application, as it has better quality. Its planet animations look stunning, along with a subtle, beautiful design to the overall app itself. It can be seen that the app was designed with the consumer in mind due to the many features included: pinch to zoom (which displays a richer, starlit sky closer up), a filter mode (allowing the user to see the universe through different light filters such as gamma, thermal, etc.), and finally the inclusion of AR capabilities that can map celestial bodies precisely with their counterparts within the app, gaining an immense amount of accuracy when star-tracking. All in all, I love this app and I definitely recommend it to all of those who are interested in the night sky.

Beautiful and easy to use. On an iPad Pro this app is an absolute delight! Breathtaking beauty. I felt an almost referent sense of awe the first time I used it. Again, the cornerstone of this app is raw, passionate beauty. A modest zoom function brings out details if I want to go deeper. Also, the moon, stars and planets are moving in real time so I can watch an occultation if I want from the comfort of my bed. A lot of satellites and space junk is tracked and labeled, which can be a lot of fun. It will even alert me if the International Space Station is about to go overhead. (If I’ve chosen to use the alert functions) I’ve had so much fun with the basic version the past two years that I have not bothered to upgrade yet to full featured mega version. Best money I ever spent on an app.

Sky Guide. This may be my first time eating an application and that being so, I am happy to share my review of Sky Guide. I enjoy the outdoors enormously, in fact I am lucky to live two blocks from the beach from where I get to use SkyGuide each time I ride to the beach right after sunset. That is when I get to use the application and pinpoint it at the brightest to to the the hardly visible stars or contemplations observable with my naked eye. Thereafter it is all about reading and learning their names, their history and every other detailed shared by the app and my chosen star or constellation. I am glad that someone thought of combining ideas, knowledge and technology to the delight of all of us, star gazers.

Was good until it wasn’t. I’ve had this app for a couple years and it worked fine, until it didn’t. Recently, within the past year, the app’s AR is not calibrating. Whether I set location manually or auto and turn the compass off manually or not, the app’s UI is stuck at the tail of Ursa Major which honestly, is the same result I’m seeing for another app Sky View. Gone are the days when I could wave my phone in the sky and was directed to the star or planet I was aiming at. So now, the app is kinda worthless. I’ve checked to make sure it was updated and even deleted and redownloaded it and still stuck at the tail. I can move the sky around with my finger so I know it’s not a technical issue with my device. It seems like the app is non-responsive to the AR, which is rather unfortunate because I really loved this app and loved telling people about it. Not it’s a formerly downloaded relic.

Really Neat!!. This app is amazing if you love star viewing! It’s really fun to pull up the app at night and to see which stars you’re looking at. It’s amazing for viewing the slow rotation of the earth too, great for getting a better understanding of that. The graphics are beautiful, but what really makes this app is all the handy features on it. Bedsides showing you which stars are where, you can also select rockets, satellites, and the space station and it shows you LIVE where it is so you can potentially see it (if it’s currently visible in your hemisphere). You can also look up upcoming meteor showers and it will tell you which way to look! You can even see different electromagnetic waves through this lens filter type thing. There’s more than that, definitely worth the $2.99, and I neeeever get anything but free apps!

A dream come alive. I’ve had this app for more than 2 years. And I’ve loved every single bit of it. When I was younger, I wanted to become an astrophysicist or an astronaut. I still do, but my path has now changed into a different direction. My dreams are now so far away, but this app made it closer than ever. The music, the feel. I cry because I love watching the stars and how the world always seems to stop whenever I stare up into the sky. It has become a place of peace for me, a sanctuary from this life. I forget everything, and just imagine myself staring up at a sky that isn’t blue but black. I wish I could ascend above the clouds and see that. And I might just do that. But for now, this app is perfect for a dreamer like me who looks up at the stars and wishes. 💜

Best Application Ever !. First of All Thanks to the Developer for giving us such a great Application Ever! But The Only Problem in lastest version is “Realtime Moving objects” like i was remember the version 6.01 in that version when we zoom the Moon so the moon will moving in realtime so reallly miss that feature in new versions i request the developer please bring that feature in upcoming version as soon as possible! Please Dear Developer Bring that feature again in option/Button type if someone want sidereal motion they can “TURN ON” and if someone don’t want they can “TURN OFF” sidereal motion. Dear Developer i am also your user i have rights to feedback , The sidereal motion was useful to us because when someone ask us how you can say that this app is a realtime app so that we can show them sidereal motion in zooming the moon like before we did in 6.0.1 version and say to them that look this is the realtime app so i request that please bring it in upcoming version as soon as possible.

This app means everything to me!. This app is one of my favorite apps of all time. I got interested in astronomy and always wanted an app like this, so I found the right app. It’s honestly better than "Night Sky" because it can tell you what’s going to happen to the sky in the future. This app is the best! Another reason why you should get this app instead is because you don’t have to pay for anything. You can just look at whatever you find. "Night Sky," however, you have to get this thing called "Night Sky Premium" in order to do everything on it. I use this more than any other app. I’m just so addicted to this app! Thank you, Fifth Star Labs LLC for making this app. Like I said, it’s the best. You should really get this app!

Superb, but some suggestions.. I wish that I could have rated your product a 4.8 instead of integer 5, as there are two things I’d love to see. First, once I have searched for an object, please don’t unlock the search when I touch the screen again. Or give me the option to remain locked once I find something. It is very annoying to turn off the compass, type in something, find it, and then “lose” it when I tap the compass again. Another example is if I want to advance the clock a couple of hours to see where an object might be later. Second, I’ve been using your product as an aid in astrophotography. When aiming a 400mm lens, it’s been a lifesaver. That said, placing my iPhone flat on the back of a DSLR to aim it is OK, but it can be very awkward when something is high above the horizon (such as Andromeda as I write this). A “90 degree” viewing option would be extremely helpful so I can put my phone flat on the hot shoe of the camera or edge on to the back of it. Even a “mirror image” view, where I can put the phone across the filter ring of my lens and effectively look over my shoulder would be very helpful. All in all, a great piece of software.

Worth it.. It’s amazing, buy it for sure. I love almost everything but here’s a few things for the developers to note. I know you’ve worked very hard on this and I don’t doubt that at all, but just consider the following please?😁: 1. When we click on a planet, then the info tab, then swipe up to get the rotational planet on our screens, it would be cool to tap on it and see a surface view for planets we have pictures of, and if the rotation was more realistic rather than 30ish second day/ night cycles. 2. When we view the planet from behind, I’d love to see its atmosphere as we can see when we photograph a planet when the sun is opposite the planet from our view. 3. I can’t seem to find any moons of other planets? Maybe I’m not looking hard enough but I spent a lot of time looking for 4 of the most prominent moons in our solar system, those being the moons of Jupiter. I couldn’t see any but I was most disappointed to see I couldn’t zoom in on IO and look at the immensely complicated surface features... 4. I would consider maybe just raising the base price of the app instead of having us pay initially and then being slapped in the face with other payments to see “exclusive features”... Anyway, I love the app. I love the work the developers have put into it. I look forward to improvements and new features. THANK YOU!

Star Guide App. I am thrilled with how simple Star Guide is to use the very first time you try it!! I just opened the Star Guide App, noticed some bright Stars or Planets, etc, and simply tapped on the brightest object in the sky- I head a pleasant “chime” sound immediately and the name of the object immediately appeared as Venus. Cool! Also- every single inconspicuous little object in space that I tapped on immediately chimed and was identified! Star Guide App is much easier to use and understand than the Night Sky App which is an awesomely powerful and a beautiful App; but Star Guide is MUCH easier to use for first time users like children and adult’s who are just beginning their knowledge quest and simply want to know; “What is THAT up there in the sky?? That one… the one that’s kinda bluish, and seems to twinkle so brightly!! After playing around some more with the Star Guide App, there is so MUCH MORE information available in the App if you just choose what you would like to ADD in the settings menu! Constellations? No problem. And much more to see if you select your preferences in the menu as you learn! I love it and you will too! JW- Des Moines, Iowa

Incredible. Worth paying for. I wanted a map of the night sky, especially when I can’t go outside due to COVID. I looked at quite a few options in the app store, most of which had a monthly subscription fee of $5, which was too much for me! I saw the preview for sky guide and how rich the information seemed to be, and saw it was only $3 to buy it. So I did and it’s absolutely incredible!! I can see anywhere in the night sky, even places that would normally be obscured by the horizon. There’s information about the magnitude of stars, and lots of greek mythology. The only thing I would say is I would love to be able to zoom out more and have a greater view of the sky from my phone, but I figured that if I was actually lying under the stars, the view on my phone would be proportional to what I would see in the sky (if that makes sense!)

Change of mind. When the app started working finally I got to see what was a subscription and what wasn’t. It’s not too bad for the first upgrade, but it’s easy to say that depending how many things someone is subscribed to. These days everything takes a subscription it seems, and they add up fast. Overall I feel like it’s worth it if you use the app frequently and actually enjoy and use all of the extra features. For what I use it for the version I originally paid for is just fine, and no sub needed. The app is very very beautiful, and the music adds so much to it. It’s very relaxing and it really puts you in the star gazing mood. Here I was thinking it was ridiculous to charge for a sub and figured I wouldn’t get to even use the app barely unless I paid, but for me that’s not the case. Luckily if you want you can sub for a month and easily drop it when it’s not affordable or maybe not using the app as much. All in all it’s a great app with a lot of detail and effort. Glad I have it working now and can actually go back to enjoying the part that makes it enjoyable to me!

Sky Guide (upgraded pro version). The Sky Guide (free version) is a great guide to the universe. You can easily find objects that you can see with the naked eye. However, after upgrading to the “Pro Version” which advises additional features, I began experiencing problems with the app. Often, when selecting the app, the icon would appear and then immediately disappear. I would try the usual, Bluetooth on/off, phone shutdown/restart troubleshooting but it wouldn’t help. Sometimes I would go outside for an observation but it was hit or miss with app functionality. I primarily use the app to observe the SkyLab passes. It’s nice to have a 15 minute heads up for passage. Sometimes, I get a notification of pass but no observation is seen and no tracking on my phone is seen. This app is great when it works but frustrating when not working.

The Greatest App Ever. SkyGuide is an absolute gem of an app! From the moment I opened it, I was captivated by its stunning visuals and intuitive interface. The app makes stargazing an absolute delight, transforming my phone into a powerful tool for exploring the night sky. The real-time tracking and detailed information about celestial objects are simply phenomenal. I especially love the augmented reality feature, which overlays the constellations onto the sky as I point my phone upwards. It's like having a personal planetarium in my pocket! Whether you're an amateur astronomer or just someone who loves gazing at the stars, SkyGuide is a must-have. It's educational, user-friendly, and incredibly fun to use. Kudos to the developers for creating such an outstanding app!

Snow Moon. My world kind of flipped on its head this past new year. Generally like to look out at the city at night but I started staring at the stars a little more leading up to the snow moon. It was cloudy on the 8th but I still took a midnight hike in a few hills behind my city. The moon made a few winks but the clouds kind of disappointed my hope & blacked out the stars. Half-gave up until I laid down flat on my back and tested this app real quick. I’ve tinkered with a few AR star gazing apps a few years ago but those apps never really reached beyond the screen. Tech didn’t quite do the stars justice in the past. Tech could probably still do more for educationally brilliant apps like these but, at the very least, it does well with the stars. I appreciate the beauty. I haven’t the taken the time to appreciate it and its near infinite astrophysical wonders as much as I should — experience that night made my new appreciation starkly apparent. For what it’s worth, thanks. Reminders in moments like those bring genuine feelings of awesome peace. *** Physics, yo. Carry’s love. ***

Compliments and a suggestion. I don’t usually write reviews because I’m just a very busy lady. This app, however, is outstanding for some very simple reasons. It is user-friendly, I am definitely not a tech person. It is pleasing to the eye with gentle colors and an even more gentle notification sound when something interesting is going on in the cosmos. Even my husband gets excited when he hears the notification because we know it’s some kind of pleasant message. We just received the solstice notification at the exact moment of the solstice, which was really cool. My suggestion is that perhaps you you could integrate a little bit of astrology as a side feature because I’ll bet if you took a survey out of all of your app users, you might find a decent portion are the also into astrology. And we have to use an entirely different app for that. Take care and keep up the outstanding work!!

Great app and no monthly fees. This is one of the few apps left that you can actually purchase outright and not worry about additional fees or ads. I’ve used this app for over three years now and still think it is the best out there for sky viewing. There are others but all come with subscriptions or very annoying ads. You can upgrade this app to get additional features for a few bucks, but I found the basic version to be more than adequate for my purposes. Too bad there aren’t lot more apps around with this business model. Thank you, Sky Guide. Because of this, I have recommended to many people who have also purchased the app and all are equally thrilled.

Top apps ever. This is one of the very, very few apps I have consistently and continue to routinely use since getting my first iPhone back in 2010, iPhone 4. It’s that good. I love the beautiful simplicity of it while being the most accurate of any other “star guide” app on the market. I love the explanations of each star, satellites, monthly news on what to look for in the coming weeks/months! I also REALLY appreciate the developers for not over-complicating the app with stupid subscription plans, ads and all the other grubby behavior so many once great apps have sadly adopted (and therefore ruined). Please keep it up and thank you for making such a fab app! My only wish is to see when certain lower atmosphere radio/satellites are spinning around over oceanic coastlines where lots of fishing occurs but I understand that is not exactly this apps “astronomical” intention. :D

I Use It More Than Any Other App. I use this app more than any other app I have. Not just more than other’s like it. It’s beautiful, it’s easy to learn, it’s AR is accurate, the sky blending is near seamless on clear days, the sounds and music are breathtaking, the menus are sleek and simple, the tutorial is thoughtfully guided, and I cannot sing enough praise for the affordable pricing. Other apps don’t even come close to giving you as much pleasure for price. Bravo. I have no complaints. I have a few offhanded suggestions as far as being able to backtrack navigating the sky, though. I think having a brief history (maybe 10 astronomical objects worth?) to show others what you had looked at would make it easier to frequently enjoy the app with your friends and family. 10/10 I recommend this for anyone and everyone. It’s the price of a coffee and what you experience is absolutely priceless. The happiness that this app gives me is staggeringly invaluable to my day to day, and I never expected to love an app as much as I have come to love StarGuide. Thank you. Salut

A great tool for viewing astronomical events but lacks sufficient supprt. I have used this app for nearly as long as it has been out. It is a complex system with many options. While there is a help section, I could find no explicit answer to the question : How to take a photo". I emailed tech support but got no response. One should be able to just tap the screen. But if you press the right sided button you get Seri freezing up the phone. Pressing the right button and the upper left button works if you have a light touch,otherwise you end up nearly rebooting your phone. I notice it has been 5 months since they updated the app. There seem to be newer ones more consistently updated that I will be looking into using.

Had it for years!. I can honestly say that I've had this app fir a number of years now and it is the only app that I would never imagine ever getting rid of! It is so amazing and I love going outside at night and turning it on and identifying things in the sky. If anyone is looking to learn more about the planets, stars, and everything else in the sky, this is the app that you can't live without! You'll be glad you did, I promise! The zoom features and identification features are the best! Upgrade the app to the max and you'll be glad you did and you'll never look back! You can share with family and everyone can enjoy!

Not good at all. WORST APP EVER TOTALLY NOT RECOMMENDED ever looked at a really small star and decide to click on it, except this garbage app won’t tell you about its history and mark the star that’s sky guide aka a app that’s just way overpriced the supermassive upgrade is lame because Sky view shows you planets in huge sizes and keeps it simple and nice and I played sky guide and 3 weeks later I don’t even use it so a waste of money on this lame app. If you buy this app just know that your wasting your money because SkyView shows stuff that skyguide can’t whether it’s free or not because sky view shows I.S.S and Hubble space telescope but not sky guide, night sky is better to because it shows so many stars and shows meteors and andromeda like sky guide but andromeda is bigger on night sky and just way overpriced for not a really good app it just doesn’t show a lot of things and I just figured this out, they use the really distant stars that you can’t even click for design making you think it’s real

Fantastic for amateur astronomers. This app is the best thing ever. It’s so powerful and customizable. I can choose exactly what I want to see. I can spend hours at a time reading the articles about the celestial objects. I normally don’t like spending money on things I don’t need, but this is something I have no doubts about subscribing to. The free app alone is incredible, and probably everything that a simple curious person looking at the stars would need. And, for hobbyists like myself, the plus and pro subscriptions are absolutely worth every penny. I can actually calculate exactly what my imaging quality will be based off of my specific telescope, eyepiece, camera, and location. There’s so many more features, but that’s just one that is rather thrilling to me. I have learned so much from here and I have only scratched the surface of what this app has to offer. I will definitely be using this app for a long time to come.

Want to see a shooting star?. My 3 year old son and I hear an alert on my phone: 6 minutes to an Iridium Flare. He calls them shooting stars. We drop everything and run outside, rushing to the darkest spot in the neighborhood we can find. It’s not that dark, but it doesn’t have to be. We point my phone to the sky and see the path the Iridium satellite will take and watch. A bright shining light grows suddenly in the night sky right where the app points us and his smile and sense of wonder grows with it. It’s over in a few seconds but we talk about it for the rest of the night. Thank you all for this little feature in an already amazing app. Thank you for these moments, and for introducing my son to the world beyond our world. If I could give you 6 stars for this review I would.

Guide for Astrophotographers and stargazers. Nice app, good content and navigates friendly. I only suggest one feature. As I favorites most objects through out the year and get familiar with them every season. I wish there is a way to turn on or show your “favorites” list on the map, preference. Instead of going through the list and knowing where they are for the night. I could just point to the sky and see all my favorites where they are now and how long I can stargaze or image and object. To see this list in AR mode and check time and date, would really plan out the night or future nights for imaging. Especially if your have obstacles in the way, trees and two story neighbors. Pro subscriber here.

Always there. I've had this app for a few years and it's always there with the info i need, when i need it. When i wanna know what I'm looking at in the sky i hold up my phone with the satellite on and it shows me what's around there. When i thought i legit saw a SPACECRAFT in the sky, i was able to look through the helpful updates and astronomy articles about space stuff to learn about what meteor shower i just witnessed. (Im not saying spacecrafts aren't real). This app helped me learn how to identify jupiter and saturn in the night sky on my own, and what a meteorite looks like shooting across the sky (got to see some aquariids 🥰). I cant remember if you have to pay for this app, that's how often i use it (but im also constantly talking about stars).

I ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVE THIS APP!!!. I got this app wanting to get more into astronomy, and it definitely did! I also got my friend into this app and she loves it too! I love how it tells you great facts about all the constellations and upcoming solar events, and if they’ll be visible in your area. I also love how you can turn on the compass and hold your phone to the night sky and see what constellations there are, or you can turn the compass off, if you don’t want to look stupid waving your phone at the sky, and just scroll around, looking for cool things! So in conclusion, I just love this app and so does my friend, I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who would want to know more about the night sky!

Fantastic!. I can’t see them lighting up, but I give this app five stars. I started following the stars with this app about a year ago. Before that, I would watch the stars with boyfriends and occasionally when just sitting in the yard. Since I got Sky Guide, I love following the stars and learning more about them, especially the I SS. I was out in the front yard when it was dark one night and was commenting on how beautiful Venus was. He tried to tell me that that was the ISS. I laughed a little, and said “No, the ISS is much faster than that, faster than I ever thought it would be “, and showed him a video that I had gotten just a few nights before. He was pretty astounded. I would recommend this to anyone.

am I using the same app? - EDITED. *** please see my update below *** With all the great reviews, I must have downloaded a different app. I use several astronomy apps , but this is the only one that thinks east is west and north is south. I emailed the developer and was told to try the figure 8 trick, but I'd already attempted that several times. Upped my rating from 1 star to 3 since I did receive a response, but being off 180 degrees makes it unusable except for indoor couch sessions. *** Okay, I just reinstalled after 2 years of using other astronomy apps and it's sensing directions properly now. Whatever was causing the compass to be off has been corrected, so I'm giving it 5 stars since the other astronomy apps are wanting to milk me for money every opportunity they can and this app still continues to operate without further expenditure. ***

Makes me forget to breathe!. The sky is my first love, and a near-obsession.. so many thanks to the developers for creating this wonder; it is, in a word, perfection. The ambient music, the ease of use, the incredible amount of information, instructions all wonderful, even details of space below our horizon. I somehow relish the thought of sleeping beneath the Draco & Ursula Minor constellations, and I have to say, the visuals should be enjoyed on as large a mobile screen as possible, although it can be dizzying if you move it too quickly. It’s easy to romanticise the stars and to be in awe of space, of which we know so little...I love it, and the mysteries it holds, as it’s sometimes the only thing that makes me feel that the silly little irksome things, and nasty people don’t matter...just look up and wonder. This makes me miss Carl Sagan: “the sky calls to us, if we do not destroy ourselves we will one day venture to the stars” We miss you, Dr. Sagan, but feel a bit closer to you with simple and beautiful tools such as this one. Just remember to breathe.

Indispensable. I’ve tried dozens of pieces of software purporting to do similar things over the years, but never have I found another that does anything remotely close. Not only is it impressively functional in just the right ways and feature-rich for those who want to dive deeper, it’s also visually stunning. It’s become an indispensable piece of my observation toolkit, to the point that everything else has been effectively obsoleted when it comes to planning and wayfinding in the field. I never hesitate to recommend it, and everybody I show immediately understands why.

So enjoyable. Love this app. It keeps getting better. Had it for so many years and the updates and enhancements are worth it. If you just want to check the sky once a month - it’s still worth it hands down.

Into-stellar!!. Great way to explore the heavens. Constellations appear with a superimposed artwork that captures your imagination (these can also be turned off in settings). Easily to reach information blurbs can be found along side each point of interest. These give you an insight into the background and current knowledge of the object; name, mythology and science information such as star type, size are provided in most cases. I have used this app for years and it will continue to encourage me out side and to look up! 5 celestial beauties out of 5!

Star Gazer’s friend. Awesome app. Love the notifications, this evening I saw the ISS fly by and also the bright Jupiter ( I would have wondered what that was) Thinking to dive into getting the pro version. Hopefully it will have real-time visual field in the background.

Literally Life Changing. I love this app on a night by the campfire. It sends my imagination to places it wouldn’t normally be able to go ans then I can share that with whoever is present! Wow what an amazing experience. The music is celestial and magical too! I highly recommend this app to hikers, adventurers, astronomers and curious people. This is a window to understanding the universe! It keeps a rightful place on my Home Screen

Geopony1. The kids and I love this app, not only does it give constellation and star names but it allows you to track the ISS so you can be sure to see it go overhead. Great app thanks

Information Outdated and Incorrect. The information is outdated. New Horizons flew past MU69 week’s ago and Humanity Star reentered the atmosphere in March. Some of the information is incorrect too. The supernova that created the pulsar Geminga was never recorded (Sky Guide refers to it as SN 347) and Alpha Centauri is not the closest star to the Sun. Some of the confirmed exoplanets should be included too, such as Proxima Centauri B as well as all of the objects in the NGC and TYC catalogues.

A terrific app. A terrific source of information for anyone interested in the stars, planets and what’s out there in space, no matter what level of knowledge you have in astronomy. Point your iPhone to the sky and identify an object in space. Love being advised when the space station comes overhead. A great app. - love it!

Extraordinary. Beautiful graphics, effortless UI and packed with useful tools that aid and inform stargazing for everyone; the customizable time and location, allowing you to explore the skies of almost the entire planet for a given time, is one of my favourite features. Unquestionably the best stargazing app I've used.

Astounding!. This app blows my mind every time I use it. Just this evening I was working away when it reminded me the international space station was passing over. Walk out side and there it is! I’ve used the app all over the world and can’t rate it enough

Has a weird fault on iPad. I do like this app but it has a weird glitch I can’t get rid of. If I open it it is fine, but if I switch to a different app to get info or something then go back to this one, I lose almost half the sky. It is very annoying and spoils what would be a good experience. I have the paid version.

Great app but…... This app is fantastic! It’s easy to use, intuitive, pretty accurate and the design and UX is amazing! The only thing I wish it has was the ability to use it using a virtual reality headset like Google Cardboard or Oculus! Please make it happen!!!!

Love this app!! ✨🌙. I use it everyday, easy to use, incredibly informative and there is so much information in there. First class app it’s 5 stars from me!

Stary stary night. I absolutely love 🧡 this app. Especially when it tells me that the international space station is about to go over the top of my roof

Really cool. So Sky Guide, basically it’s a full rundown and you can see everything come on about different stuff and it doesn’t take up that much space and it’s a perfect app for space stuff

Amazing!!!. This is a great app, I randomly downloaded it while stargazing with friends and it made it so much more enjoyable. The compass feature is great and I particularly like the stories behind each constellation, based on Greek myth. Overall a very enjoyable app!

Absolutely amazing app for people who love space. Sky Guide has truly transformed my passion for astronomy and deepened my love for space exploration! This app is not just a tool; it’s an immersive experience that brings the night sky to life. The intuitive design makes it easy to identify stars, planets, and constellations with just a glance. I love the detailed information and fascinating facts about each celestial body, which have ignited my ambition to learn more about the universe. What I appreciate most is how Sky Guide makes astronomy accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of expertise. The stunning visuals and engaging interface have made my stargazing sessions not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. It’s inspired me to explore more about space and even consider pursuing it as a hobby. I can’t recommend Sky Guide enough for anyone looking to enhance their understanding and appreciation of the cosmos. It has truly been a guiding star in my journey through the universe!

Opening my eyes to the galaxy. What a revelation this has been to me! I look forward to getting my five minute warnings to observe the ISS and other man made wonders along with learning about our own little solar system and the ever-expanding galaxy.

Love this app!. I’ve always loved the stars and tried to work out the constellations but nothing made sense until I found this app. I use it daily and can now spot some constellations without the app, as well as teaching my children the stars, their names and the planets. 100% recommend to anyone interested in our night sky.

This is the one you are looking for.. If only you got this one the first time, you would have saved yourself so much mucking around with clunky UIs and staring out into cloudy skies wondering, is that it? This app works really well and is the easiest to use and understand.

Perfect. We just had a hybrid solar eclipse yesterday and I wanted to be able to see it without looking directly at the sun, so i used this app. And it nails everything. It’s accuracy is crazy good.

Love this app!. Way more than what I expected! My family loves to use this app especially when camping! Very educational!

Zoe. Spent many sleepless nights on this app hunting the satellite’s and adding them to my favourites after I’d spotted them. After the upgrade I don't really enjoy it anymore. Before the upgrade all the satellites were lit up on the app when they were overhead. Now you have to look for them by time. Also the pictures of the satellites were great before showing their size compared to a human. Now they’re just child like drawings all looking the same. With all the new added features the app is now boring unless you pay for a subscription to look at the things that were free before the upgrade. Sad!!

Great. Great app. Few things that could be improved. I can find it hard to find catalog numbers on objects especially from the map usually end up going to google. Wish I could search an area of the sky and then use the visibility sorting would be awesome.

Brilliant. This app is fantastic & easy to use, I like it over all other, however if you want the most buy this app it’s well worth it.

They subtracted content and made it subscriber only. Very disappointing! I bought this app when the first generation iPad was released and it’s been brilliant. Tonight I went to look up a comet and the feature has been disabled and I was offered a subscription deal. Sorry, I paid in full for this product over 10 years ago. Sad about this.

The best astronomy app on iOS by far. If Apple made an astronomy app, it would not be better than Sky Guide. Beautiful graphics, easy to use and functional UI. Well worth the price of entry. Great job developers and keep it up!

Great for novices as well as enthusiasts. It’s fascinating to see what is around you when you go on holidays to a new destination let alone to see what is in your own backyard. I used it to see the alignment of the planets in June 2022.

Amazing. I love looking up at the sky and being able to identify all the little lights up there and even point at day and see what’s going on up there…

Amazing app. This app is the best sky sky observing app I’ve ever seen. There is one feature that I feel doesn’t Work properly, being the star brightness feature as I doesn’t change the brightness of the stars. Apart from that, absolutely amazing!

So good. Omg when I was on holiday the sky was so clear are with with app we got to see a rocket space station Milky Way and so much more with is for sure 5/1

Totally awesome. This app is totally worth buying! It’s so pretty to look at plus it has everything you’ve ever wondered about when it comes to star💫 gazing or finding out where our space stations are, without this app i probably wouldn’t have known Mars was so close to earth 🌏 the 1st time in 15yrs!! Being able to share the beauty of the universe and all that is out there amazing thank you ☺️ 🌟

Best app ever, and thank you for adding AR mode. This app is the best on the market AND it’s affordable as well. The SUPERMASSIVE add on is great as well (worth subscribing to) because it shows all the deep sky objects in detail. But most of all thank you for adding Augmented Reality because now we can see what part of the sky the objects are in. (YAY!)😄😄😄

Killer Astro App with amazingly useful localisation. I’ve tried stacks of Astro apps over the years. This absolutely nails it in terms of powerful features packaged in the most elegant and easy to use UI. But the real killer feature is localisation. More often than not this level of detail only works in certain countries or cities - but I was delighted to see it works perfectly for me in Adelaide, Australia. I’m talking really useful info like light pollution, cloud cover and visual magnitude - the type of weather data very specific to astronomy and stargazing. This is presented in a very useful format that’s already filtered to my geo location and doesn’t require interpretation of generic weather and maps. There’s also a range of Astro news that’s timely, well curated, and seamlessly integrated. Love this App!

Best Star App ever. I have been using this wonderful App since 2016 when cruising the Canal de Midi in France. It was invaluable for understanding the stars of the northern hemisphere which were foreign to me. I still use it regularly now we live in country Queensland, Australia. I just love that I can look up and find out what the planets or stars are that we can see. Thank you to whoever put this together. You have brought great joy to looking at the magnificent creation in the night’s sky.

About Sky Guide. I find this app very interesting and informative about the night sky. I only use the app for looking at planets but I enjoy it. One thing the app could make better is the view. I would love to see a close up view that is worth 5 stars.

Good but a bit disappointed.. Sky Guide is a great app. I love looking at the stars and planets and different things in the universe. However, to do a lot of things like the things in the section “Cosmic Curiosities” you need to pay or do a free TRIAL which is annoying because I want to explore further but without paying, I can’t.

Amazing! Minor improvements could be made. This app does just about everything, however there’s a few items I feel it misses or could improve. Firstly, adding more asteroids/comets/satellites. There are only some major objects that you can search and find, adding more of these would be great. Secondly it would be fantastic to add in a oxygen 3 and sulphur 2 views (to add to the hydrogen alps view). Finally it would be great if you could set multiple locations as favourites and toggle between them, instead of having to find them each time on the map view. Love everything else about this app!

Worth every cent!. It might sound cheesy but buy the full version, go outside late at night, put headphones on and make sure Sky Guides music is ‘ON’. You can spend ages exploring the sky with this app! The ambience that the music creates makes it that much better too! Thanks :)

Iss. This is a very good app I love it and go on it every night And watch the iss with my family and see the iss every night live thank you for making it

Beautiful app ✨. Absolutely love this app, the graphics are stunning. Really make you feel immersed when using it to search the skies. I love the notifications I receive about satellites, ISS, meteorite showers and even moon phases. The music that plays it’s also really soothing. Couldn’t rate an app more highly, there is many I wouldn’t purchase but this one I would.

Star gazing. Have come to look for particular stars by being shown their location. Now I see how in times past, people were able to navigate by the stars. Appreciate the notifications of stellar events.

Just wow. I had this app on my first generation ipad before it stopped being supported. Got it on my mac thinking, "it can't be that good on laptop since it is a mobile app." It has surpassed my expectations. Quality just like on the ipad. One feature i would like to see is if Mac independent support came into use than the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in. I have no more words i absolutely love this. Super helpful when i take my nat geo newtonian telescope out on clear nights and look for objects of interest

Very good💯🎉. I love this app for its simplicity and how it works the only negative is that stuff I see on the app doesn’t line up it showed Arcturus tonight but when I looked at it through my telescope it was no where to be seen still great and made me be able to find a lot of stuff

AMAZING so worth it. I watched the video and looked at the photos and I was all ready sold on it, I bought it and in my opinion it was better than the video and photos, the AR and everything works perfectly

This is amazing. I am amazed at the time and effort put into this app. It was pretty cool once I saw this app and bought it straight away. I love all the information and the detail. I also really really like how the smallest stars that you see you have to zoom in and all of them are named.

Suggestions. Basically free. A lot of useful functions are provided even before paying for pro. Suggestion: a platform to upload photos and share the sky you see - especially the phenomenons in the notifications. Will be nice to form a nice stargazers community.

Absolutely Stunning, Most Helpful User friendly App. Honestly just take the time to download and explore it for yourself. Wether you’re using to for astrophotography, a helping hand while exploring with your telescope or just wanted to understand and know more about the night sky, this app will keep you updated on events and even customise the articles so all time is relevant to you! Very help and cannot recommend more. A+ and well worthy of being a “Choice” app.

Great app but suggestions. I love this app. It is very intuitive, full of content and educational. I do however have a suggestion to give: The Star Guide widget should indicate the change in the planet's rise and set times that occurs. E.g. the moon sets at 16:47 tonight, but tomorrow it will set XYZ minutes later. This can be indicated by an arrow pointing up or down depending on if the rise/set time progresses or regresses the next day. This would be very useful to people like me that plan their telescope viewing ahead of time. Hope the feedback helps, Chris

More than a star gazing tool. This has so much. Artwork, incredible tools like a camera overlay to pick out your specific target, news items, articles, curated observations, fact sheets, it’s such a complete package it’s hard to even quantify. Brilliant.

SUN GOT ME BLIND💀. The sun almost got me blind at full brightness.🙏 but the app is good😌

Used to be amazing. Now we’re stuck paying if we want to see everything that we used to. The way to move around the screen has also changed and often I’m stuck in a small area of view.

A.g 26. Very helpful app

App freezes every second. I have to keep closing and reopening it to get a real time view if the sky after three times it just got stuck on the last thing I looked at no matter what - such a disappointment

#1. Best app ever for space and stars enthusiasts

Génial. 4 étoiles 1/2 ... merci

SkyGuide. Best app ever!

Subscription sellout. App was awesome but would not recommend to new users as it has transitioned to a perpetual subscription model

Great App. Love this app. Use it all the time. Notifys me every time the Space Station is going over.

I love it (Ideas below) <3. I think If people live near somewhere closer to the northern lights they can get a cool notification telling them where they can the Northern Lights are so they can have a brilliant experience with something so beautiful! I hope you can do this soon!!

The Big Wallet Dipper. This app used to be a huge educational asset. Many nights I would bring it out to learn some new part of the universe. Unfortunately, like so many other developers, greed got the best of them and the app has now removed access to information. They have gone to a horribly expensive subscription model that locks most of the information behind a paywall. I can’t stand developers who do this. They build their popularity on the backs of supporters and then turn around and gouge them. I will likely delete this app as I can’t see anything I used to. I outright refuse to pay $20 per year for the luxury of seeing basic satellite info. I would rather donate the money to an astronomy club for kids. I am really disappointed in this app. They let the success go to their heads and saw dollar signs instead of stars. For shame.

App. Love this app. I think it was the first one I purchased….

No Accuracy. The app says that the solar eclipse is happening now but it’s not until like 2 o’clock and it’s 1015 a check the date the location and the time on the app and it’s all correct yet It shows that the eclipse is halfway through already not accurate.

Love this app. The app is amazing. super easy to use and quick. Even works with very low to no cell reception!

Amazing. I think this was the best app i ever down loaded. It makes having an i pod or i phone actually useful for anyone trying to learn the night sky. Incredible

Diane Delisle, amateur. Fantastique, jamais application n'aura été plus pratique pour les curieux. Même, mon petit-fils de 4 ans s'émerveille!!

All time Favorite. Worthy of my Subscription , I’m extremely picky when it comes to app subscriptions. Sky Guide absolutely beautiful and bravo to the creators and maintainers of this app, I’ve been a member for many years. I initially used Sky Guide to cross reference star azimuths while plotting chart positions. Even when I’m not sailing, I enjoy star gazing with this app. It’s a must have for anyone to loves astronomy.

Very Useful. This app is very useful and intuitive. Very useful when pairing with my telescope.

Décevant. L’application est payante pour avoir accès à toutes les options et voilà maintenant qu’il faut un abonnement pour avoir accès à des options déjà comprises dans l’achat.

Wow!!. C'est l'application la plus intéressente!

Loud. A lot of noise in app

So beautifully made. An amazing amazing app, comes in handy

what happened to sky guide. I have been using this app and have loved it since i was 13 and i am now 18 and it is not the same. The calibration is way off, I got the newest phone and it is not the phones fault, it’s unfortunately the app. It says the moon is in the west when it’s actually in the east. Also, I can see the big dipper in the sky above me and it says it’s Bootës. and the big dipper on the app is way off. not happy.

Top-Notch. I have become addicted to finding out more on a bright star i spot in the sky and boasts about the same to my friends. hahaha! love this app.

Moon is showing accurately for me.. Hey folks, awesome app. Just reporting a bug - I can see the moon in front of me but when I point to the same location, it does not show the moon to me. Please fix, thank you.

DISAPPOINTING CUSTOMER SERVICE. While the app looks beautiful it has trouble calibrating location. I contacted customer service and the response at first was good. They gave me some suggestions but when this did not work, my emails went unanswered. Particularly disappointing considering I was dealing with the co-founder. AUGUST 20 UPDATE - After my initial review the co-founder emailed me with some questions. Since then, absolutely no contact after a few weeks! UNFORTUNATELY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE. At this point I will cancel my subscription.

My favourite app!. A hole new insight to the night sky! Love this app!

Quick & easy. I like the ability to locate objects quickly and the reference info on each object is what I want.

Spectacular On So Many Levels!. Thank you for creating such a beautiful app! Not only is it informative but, aesthetically speaking, IT IS stunning. I find myself marveling at the illustrations and the etherealness of our galaxy. I truly believe it’s the BEST APP that’s ever been developed. With your talents and expertise, you have created an app that continuously and joyfully takes my breath away! I humbly say…thank you.

Amazing app. Gives many facts about constellations and the night sky even with the free version. Love this app! Sometimes I just turn on to listen to the celestial music.

Great guide to the stars. Easy to use and so much information and tools for accessing the heavens

Love this so much!!!!. 🙏

Changing rating because they became greedy. I used to love this app as I would occasionally launch it while on vacation, etc. I paid for this app and it was worth it. Expectation was that it would be maintained and also as new discoveries were made or even satellites launched, the database was also updated. Now, this is called enhanced and now we have to pay a subscription for that service.

Amazing. Sooooooo Good

Sky Guide Review. Sky guide is a Nice but is slightly boring. You should add more fun elements to the game. I do not use the app very often, but I enjoy when I do.

The app is great, but…. For some reason the app keeps crashing.

So cool while we are camping. We often look up to the sky while we are at our cabin in southern British Columbia. We have very little light pollution where we are and have a great view of the skies. With this app our family is able to enjoy our evenings, picking our many of the constellations and chatting about how our ancestors came up with the names and configurations. Thanks for making this a free app!

Bought this for special stuff. Here it is the eclipse, and a big article posted on the app about an eclipse widget… but no download or install link for the widget? Wth.

Zero Stars.. Doesn’t even know where the moon is.

Coolest astronomy app. Awesome

Amazing and educational. Made me feel like a kid again for the first time in a while kudos to the team who put this app together and keeps it operating and updating it! Ty

Best app!!!!. Best app to see stars!

Sky guide legacy. So even if you have sky guide legacy, you can’t view James Webb because the developer pounced on an opportunity to put something behind a paywall even for users who paid for this app long ago Make it make sense

Simply amazing. This app is totally free and offers to see every visible space object from your position. Additionally, it offers tons of interesting articles on news and upcoming events. Best of all: there is no ads, never. I highly recommend it! (THIS WAS NOT WRITTEN BY A BOT, I promise)

Awesome!. Works pretty well. Overall awesome app!

Impressive. Impressive

Review I upgraded on iPhone for a trial. It made a mess cont not follow anthing it went in circles so to circle.

10/10. Amazing constellation app - used it and will keep

Meilleur app d’étoiles. C’est la meilleure app. J’ai réussi à voir une aurore boréale grâce aux notifications c’est très réaliste et il a beaucoup de fonctions gratuites.

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

Does what it’s supposed to and more. First off: I tried to find something critical to say, because I don’t usually believe 5-star reviews...I couldn’t think of anything. I have had this app for a while now (years), and I have really enjoyed being able to quickly identify any bright object in the sky that catches my attention. What I didn’t expect, but have also enjoyed, is the large amount of information on each object that is offered just by tapping on it. As someone who isn’t even a stargazer, I find myself getting sucked in almost every time.

Crashing right now, but great app normally. Guys, chill. The app is obviously experiencing technical issues at the moment. I’ve had this app on my phone for years and it is superb. I just tried to download it on my iPad and it crashes when opening. Give it a few days and I’m sure that the issues will be resolved. No need to write a 1-star review which won’t do anything. Email customer support instead so that they can become aware of the issue and so that it can be resolved faster and you can experience this great app.

Apple Vision Pro. One of (if not the) best app for the Apple Vision Pro. Rivals the best planetariums in the world. Well worth the subscription price. Would like to see some additional functionality now that the devs have a headset or two. 1. Adding guided tours and celestial events would be great. First thing I did was dial in the upcoming Total Solar eclipse and it looked great until totality when the sun and moon disappeared. Would love to see corona, proper hiding of stars in the day and appearing at totality, etc. 2. Being able to adjust light pollution and limiting magnitude. I’ve been to dark sites and it’s impressive seeing stars but it’s really hard to make out constellations. I really enjoy the turn everything off mode and just see the stars. 3. Add Satellites and other transient objects like comets. 4. More background locations. 5. Telescope mode where you can look through an eyepiece would be incredible. Lastly the ocean view is a bit unnerving. Maybe a boat or deserted island to keep you company? Overall thanks to the devs for this experience.

The number #1 app for looking at Space. Sky Guide is one of the most coolest apps out there on the the App Store. When I go out camping with my family & we soak in all the stars, the galaxy, etc. Sky guide helps us to know how far that star is & why did they name it? The most helpful & fascinating thing is that you can be able to see if there is a Satellite, space junk, or any objects floating out in space. I used to think they were all Satellites but ends up most of it is old rockets. I totally recommend this app to anybody. This really works unbelievably great on the IPhone 8! Loving the new Calendars & the light pollution on the map!

Second to none, true gem of an app. The app is breathtaking, intuitive and fun. Absolutely an investment to those who are simply curious or those who use it with a serious purpose such as photography-day/night, constellations, planetary science, cosmology or astronomy. The augmentation intergraded into the app is outstanding and one of the best augmented reality features I’ve ever used a phone for. I can only vouch for use on both the Apple iPhone and iPad with regards to the app and both work amazingly well. I haven’t experienced any form of glitching or ill mannered operation when in use. Truly a gem of an app. Well worth it!

AR = MIND. BLOWN.. I’ll state right away that I own pretty much every astronomy app that’s worth owning. I’m not an expert by any means, just an avid fan who’s always interested in learning more about space. I’ve never left a review for any of the apps in this category before but, after spending just 5 minutes exploring my evening sky in augmented reality, I felt compelled to congratulate the developer for nailing it right out of the gate. The controls are intuitive and the tips show on screen at the perfect time. That’s how I found the sky blending feature and that’s when the real magic happens! Before AR it always seemed like the star or planet in the sky that I was trying to identify with the app was close to what I was seeing on my device but it often felt like I was just guessing that I had my phone or iPad pointed at the right spot of light in the sky. However, with AR and the sky blending feature I “know” that I’m identifying the exact point of light in the sky that interests me. If you’re on the fence about purchasing this app stop wasting your time. Tap buy and get outside!!!✨💫✨

Love this app. I have owned this app since it was available, it has been a joy to see it grow and become an amazing guide thé the night and day sky. Sometimes it is good to know yep that is Venus and mars, or there is Camelopardalis. I have absolutely loved looking at the sky ever since I was a child and this adds to that love and passing on the knowledge to friends and family. Also, the fact it shows the name of that space debris that can be seen moving in the sky and the calendar of meteor showers. There is something for everyone in this app. I fully recommend it in this iteration and all to come.

Fast, convenient and accurate. I have been using this App for about three years. It provides all that I need to enjoy the night sky. I programmed it to alert me for events like an ISS overfly of my sky. It is accurate and gives me a 10 min warning. It’s map of the path is perfect. The ISS appears on schedule and in the right spot. Also programmed it for meteor showers, close planets, comets passing by and more. It is a great tool for any amateur or back yard astronomer. It is incredibly accurate to help me locate distant objects in my 10” telescope. I don’t have to rely on charts and wheels anymore. The “Red Phase” makes it easy to use once I my eyes have acclimated and using my telescope. Great App!

Usually great, but….. This is my go to sky app and has been for a few years. But I notice that many things are not found by the app. I can see an object in the sky, but the app doesn’t have it. It doesn’t even have this 50,000 comet 2022 E3! How could it not have this comet that is all over in the news? The app has a number of rocket bodies it finds, but doesn’t seem to have what appears to be a satellite that is brighter than a rocket body I can’t see. Makes no sense. Maybe the new paid version has these. I do like that I can set an alert for an object (i.e., ISS) coming in advance. I like there is instant information on any object that is does have.

WOW. I think we have all learned real quick that you never purchase an app without reading most of the reviews!! I've been using this app for a few years now and it is beyond awesome I gave it five stars because they did not have an option for 25 stars!! What is that star out there that looks so bright?? Oh that's not a star it's Jupiter.... you can set up notifications and I've seen the international space station fly by many many times it's actually pretty awesome to see how fast it does fly by!!! And these are just a few of the things that it's capable of doing!! Don't hesitate Awesome awesome app!!

Star Gazr. Awesome app. I can find planets and other stars when I need to. Nicely done! Love the soothing music too. I like to know when the moon is on the rise as a photographer. No matter where I point the iPhone there is something interesting to see in the sky, even at the opposite pole. The descriptions and info on the different stars is laid out nicely. Don't hesitate to buy this app. Well worth it! 😉 5 stars!!!! ** The latest upgrade 9/17 is yet the best! Adding the live camera view of the horizon and sky gives this app another interesting dimension and way to see what is up in the sky where you are looking. I still ❤️ this app, get it - you’ll love it too.

Worth Every Penny. I’m not disappointed at all with this app. In fact, I am highly satisfied! I can’t believe how much information you can get from just looking at ONE STAR. I LOVE the feature that allows you to receive notifications for satellites and other things of that sort. This app is so amazingly designed and put together and so user friendly, I would recommend it to anyone. Literally the best decision I’ve ever made when it came to purchasing an app. Thank you developers for allowing us to use this heavenly application at the touch of our hands!

Best app there is. This is easily the best app I use for space. As a astrophotographer it’s important to have a app that is easy, reliable and accurate. This is all of those and so much more. Don’t take my word?? Look up Dylan O’Donnell who does Astro for a living. He’s a huge fan of skyguide and actually did a whole video on it. I’ve been using it since 2017. I’ve tried all of the others and none even come close to Sky Guide. I pay for the pro version and it’s a bargain for what you get. 5 stars only because 6 isn’t a option!!

Very nice! However…. This app is very nice and has assisted in many ways. However, you do have to pay $2.00 if you want to see all of the constellations. But, if you know to look for the stars (E.g. “Epsilon Draconis is part of Draco, so you can find Draco using Draconis stars that are labeled”) then you could use that to find constellations and it ends up being a very fun and helpful app. The ad for buying the extra constellations is very annoying and I can’t get rid of it often, but it’s at the bottom of the screen and doesn’t get in the way. If you’re willing to pay $2.00, though, it’s very enjoyable and helpful!

Love the watch complication. I’ve been using Sky Guide for a few years now. It’s a terrific tool to explore and learn more about the stars, planets and everything in between. I really like the watch face complication for infograph modular… As it shows the proper orientation of the moon as it passes across the sky. Much better than the native moon phase graphic. However...I’m now using the Siri watch face for which Sky Guide shows as an available 3rd party app. But no cards ever appear, why is that? I’m expecting to see cards appear at the right times ahead of sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moon set. When will this work properly? Much appreciated!

Unable to see the whole sky. This app has some excellent features. The dates are easy to navigate especially. But only half of the constellations are accessible. For instance everything but 3 constellations where several planets are is available by scrolling through the sky. . If, for example, you want to know where the moon is, and it’s in one of those unavailable constellations, you’re stuck. It is possible to get around this by using the search function to see where the moon is. You can’t however, just scroll seamlessly through the sky to find it if it’s not visible at the moment. That limitation makes it clunky for my needs.

For all sky watchers- newbies and pros. What DON’T I love about this app?!? I’ll try to limit my answer to my top 3 fave features: First thing I do is check out the FEATURED section (2nd icon along bottom). This is basically a collection of more in depth, relevant articles in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top). HOWEVER- my personal fave feature- click the last icon along the bottom all the way to the right- at the very top is TONIGHTS BEST- which is broken down by “naked eye” “binocular” and “telescope”. Click anything on the list and it’ll redirect you to that point using the live observation sky map.

Outer Space is such a mystery. This app helps you navigate the cosmos and provide so much value, both free and paid versions. High visual and accuracy quality, great articles and info, chill, calming user experience. If they could add anything else, I would request that you be able to save any searchable celestial objects to lists. I could be as simple as simple as a favorites list, but I reckon most of us would like to be able to set up multiple custom lists/tags, and be able to save time/date segments to a list, like “once in a lifetime celestial events”. It has been an invaluable tool in my astrophotography adventures. I use it screenshots of it to pair with photographs I’ve taken so people can understanding what they’re looking at in my photographs, do research on upcoming celestial events so I can plan ahead and increase my chances of capturing events/object. I use it to aid in polar alignment of my MSM Star Tracker mount. And my favorite, is using it with my family to identify objects that are piquing our interest! Thank you Sky Guide team, clear skies! 🤩🌌

Best APP EVER!!!. Hi, I am an 11 year old girl. I LOVE ASTRONOMY! I was looking for apps, and I downloaded this on my mom’s phone. It was the best!!! I’m currently using my iPad and I’m downloading it right now! The constellations are so detailed, and you can pinpoint where planets and stars are! I love studying and make observations about the moon and other stuff. I don’t even need this subscription, this app is already amazing! Thanks a lot developers, I also like the music too! Its calming 😊 Anyways, your app is great and I love it! I definitely recommend this if you need help finding stars, planets, moons or whatever.

Heavenly!!!. This app is ULTIMATE. It captures the grandest of the element enveloping us…the sky…with amazing ease, detail, precision and beauty, along with plethora of features to cut it all in gzillion ways. Every feature gives mind blowing perspective. The awe is literally unending. What started as mere curiosity has ended up as one of my most valuable immersive pastimes. Don’t have words to express how impressed and grateful I am with this. Salute to all humans who worked to bring this endless ocean of knowledge to this point. I think the old timers will be given this app in heaven to appreciate the true grandeur of God’s creation…and they’ll not stop using this app.

Has something changed?. I have an iPhone 15 Pro, and I’ve used this app in the past on all my previous iPhones. For some reason, I feel like the compasses is off, as when I look at a bright star, it’s actually higher in the sky than it appears on the phone screen. have they changed something so that it’s not perfectly in line anymore? I don’t remember having this problem with my old phone. I’m thinking they made an adjustment so that you see the object in real life over the top of your screen rather than behind the screen, when looking directly at it. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me and I’m going crazy.

Loved Astronomy since I was a kid. Since I was in second grade and went to the planetarium, the constellations held a magical fascination for me! I remember this gentleman telling the stories that went with the “pictures in the night sky” and along with his mesmerizing voice was music similar to the ethereal music with this app. I enjoy this as much as I did then and I can relive that mystical and extraordinary experience in a way with this app and it’s information for each constellation, planet, moon and every wonderful thing I see when I look into the night and this time I hold it all in my hand! I highly recommended it for stargazing and learning about the heavens in sight.

So refreshing and I learn something new every day. As a child, you look up at the stars you always wonder what am I looking at? To have this today and have a young child with me to look up the heavens and see stars, with this iPad in my hands to use real time technology to see what we are actually looking at, sure beats a telescope. The information is mind-boggling; the actual scientific information plus the history lessons. It even enhances my curiosity to want to use it more and more. Thank goodness Flagstaff is a dark skies city. And then go to the Lowell Observatory and appreciate what others have done for us in the past. John van Wyke

This is amazing. This app is awesome because it shows all the constellations and what everything is. You can enable it to send notifications when something happens like the international space station flies over or something. It just so happened that the first day I got this app there was a meteor shower and it notified me and at what time it would start. On the same night it also notified me that the international space station was above me we also saw that. We later on our trampoline until 1:00am watching the shooting stars and international space station fly over. I love this app!!!

Amazing. I just sat outside for 20 minutes looking at the starts just alone without my phone wondering what stars where which. I saw a lot of the brighter stars and wondering how far and bright compared to the sun they were. I went into the AppStore looking to see what these stars are called and this app told me descriptions and what satellites or rocket bodies were above me that second. I learned that the rocket bodies that are now known as space junk were launched around 30-40 years ago by Russia. This app is very useful. I spent 1 hour outside with this app after just trying to find new things

A Great Astronomy App!. I recently downloaded this app after hearing of it from a friend, and while I didn’t subscribe to the PLUS feature, the app alone has a LOT of great features for free. Including the history of different constellations, when certain stars and constellations are visible, moon phases, and when planets in the solar system are most visible. I’m amazed at how much the app has to offer without paying for the PLUS feature, unlike most apps these days where you would need to pay some form of subscription for a better app experience. I would recommend this to a friend or just anyone who is into astronomy! 💫🌕

The best game ever!. I love this game so much because it helps me learn because I’m a kid and when I grow up I want to be a scientist. So that’s why I like this game and you should totally buy it. It helps me study the planets, stars, and because of this app, I’ve made about three or four documents. Not necessarily documents, but just little stories, because of this app!!!!! You should totally buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it’s pretty cheap for everything that it has on there! Buy it buy it now! It even shows you, satellites, and rocket ships, and how they move around the Earth, to study the weather, other galaxies, and black holes, and even more things to study!!!!!!!

Sky Guide. Sky Guide is no doubt one of the most amazing applications in the App Store. The design is simple but the content is complex as can be. Ranging from the stars to the constellations to whatever phenomenon presents itself upon the skies the app does a remarkable job of bringing us closer to the heavens. The app not only does that but provides news articles on astronomy related subjects as well as forecasts for your local area. Why not as the weather is tied to what we see above. Preferences can be set for notifications of upcoming events so those invested will never miss a thing. The app is easy to use for people of all ages and works to inspire young people to take note of what lies beyond our own horizons.

My favorite of 7 sky apps I own!. Love this app. It’s user friendly. It’s beautiful. It’s incredibly (and interestingly) informative (but easy to navigate while getting access to all that amazing info!) It’s easy to find what I want in the sky and what’s not actually in my sky at that moment (but when it will be or when I missed it already). The augmented reality is kinda fun (but not often used by me to date)... To pack soooooo much into something so beautiful, informative, and easy to navigate is apparently quite a feat... as my other sky apps lose points on at least one of those key components... (and some more than one)... Hands down my favorite!

Disappointing upgrades. I’ve been using Sky Guide now for several years. I just paid for the full upgrade and I’m very disappointed with the recent upgrades to Sky Guide. I used this app almost nightly to track satellites. It use to be so easy and simple to select what we’re visible and sort them by magnitude. Now, I can no longer do this without having to search through several different categories which makes this app practically useless. Please review your upgrades and return your satellite search procedures to what they were before the upgrade!

AMAZING!. So as a young girl I’ve never been very big into astronomy, but the beauty and wonders of the night sky and this app are amazing! I love that you can read about interesting articles about something as cool as the k2-18, a planet we could possibly live on! It works amazingly and is very accurate. Being able to find my zodiac sign was the biggest hope for me in this app! I found it! I recommend this app to all astronomers around, I’m quite happy with this app and I hope for a bunch of interesting updates and news. Thank you so much for your knowledge about the sky and sharing it. -Best wishes and hope! Thank you.

SO GOOD. I say this is amazing, I had a couple of essays about some planets and stars and this is one of apps I cited for my essay. it’s so good for finding information and viewing any updates and where the stars, planets and constellations are at. View many things. The only thing I wanted to say as well to this, this app has a pro version but cost money. This app doesn’t need you to pay unless you really absolutely want to. If you pay you get a little more experience on this app however if you don’t pay you get information but not as much as the (pro) version to this app.

G. A. Trottier. I always read the reviews before purchasing any App......So to Anyone who is thinking about purchasing this, it is well worth it... I enjoy going out at night and knowing what I am viewing in the stars above... The night vision makes it very easy to focus back and forth from the dark night sky to my iPad and the background music is soothing....The information on the Planets,Stars and Mythology is highly detailed and very interesting. I have tried other Apps and in my opinion none of the others even come close. This is a great purchase for any mobile device....

You don't realize how bad you need it till you have it!. We use this app several times a week. It has gotten our 6 year old son so excited about space exploration. We especially love that the app recognizes the location of the horizon and that you can view what is beneath and all around the Earth. The fact that you can turn on and off the compass is especially satisfying and the search feature is great when you hear about something in the news and want to locate it and try to eyeball it in the sky.

Astronomy. Ever since I was a child my earliest memory was singing twinkle twinkle little star with my sister like we just had to and attempting to follow in my grandfathers footsteps who taught astronomy and math and aeronautics at Berkeley and learning the vast knowledge of seemingly infinite beauty with this device getting a glimpse that you could only hope for in a major observatory makes for a really interesting experience and I like to pretend that I own that observatory on the weekends and name the planets and the constellations specially when I’m in a good mood thank you very much for sharing this with the world!

Worth every penny. To be honest, I never write reviews about anything... ever. I wasn’t sure if I’d like this app at first so I checked the reviews and so many people gave it a five star rating. Now I understand why since I’ve experienced using it myself. After downloading the app I purchased the expanded version of the app for less than $1 per month and I stayed up at night another four hours looking at stars, galaxies, nebulae, planets, and even rockets. It was such a small price to pay to be able to see everything in its real time position in the sky and I’d recommend this to anyone who has even the slightest interest in astronomy.

Get a different app. My husband & I have had this app since 2017 & paid $1.99. It just keeps going downhill. If you want the same features that you used to get for $1.99, you now have to pay for either of the upgrades. I mean, the compass is never accurate. That should be a pretty obvious issue that should be fixed. It shouldn’t be that difficult. Everytime I open the app I have to fix it. The minute I point my phone to the ground, it recalibrates itself to the same way it was before. I fix it again & same issue. It’s so irritating to have an app that can’t even figure out general direction even when location is set to always. I’ll just pay for a new app & stop recommending this to family & friends. 👎🏼

Great App!!!!. I’ve used this app with my whole family. We’ve used it over and over again. A few of the features that I’ve enjoyed are: the live feed, the ability to zoom, the information button on each object to educate the viewer, and the ambient background music. During events throughout the year, such as the eclipses, different phases of the moon, the movement of the space station, during opposition, etc… we’ve been able to follow and view them at the time of occurrence. Would highly recommend to every family.

Saw the ISS fly over, space junk. I was using it last night and a notice popped up saying the ISS was about to fly over. So I tracked it and to my surprise I could actually see it very clearly. I probably would have assumed it was just a plane without the app. So then I started looking for space junk of rockets and I could see a couple of those, too. This all in a major US city. Aside from that, it’s a good educational tool and I’ve already learned a lot about stars by using it. It tends to take a while for the compass to adjust but eventually it gets there and objects line up exactly.

5 ⭐️s, missing points of interest. I'm absolutely loving this app. Can't say enough about it. That said, many of the things I'd be most interested in knowing where to find (e.g., Apep, TON 618, the Great GRB Wall, etc.) aren't cataloged (even with a Supermassive subscription). By no means is this any kind of deal breaker but I think allowing us to use coordinates (i.e. right ascession, declination) to find and favorite certain points in the sky would be a smart move. It'd give the app that much more appeal, as the user wouldn't just be getting a passive, exploratory experience but would actually get to chart the map out themselves, in a sense. Just my thoughts. I have no idea how feasible it would be but it'd be a great addition.

5 Star Star App!. This is probably my favorite Star Gazing App. The compass works accurately, the optional ambient music is celestial, and the information garnered from the tap feature is incredible. Very user friendly & intuitive. Go for the upgrade & get the expanded zoom. We use it everywhere we travel. I just can’t say enough about how much I love this app. Sometimes I just sit there day or night and explore what stars, galaxies & constellations are surrounding me at the time. Easy to get lost in this app & not want to come back down to earth. You can’t go wrong with this one!!

This App!. I love everything about this app. I am obsessed with the cosmos. I have friends and a 2 year-old daughter that are also ever interested in what lies above us on this spinning globe. This app not only provides a basic look at the heavens but gives us all the detail we need in real-time. Where is the moon right now? Where will it be in 3 hours? It is an amazing tool to build interest in young kids. They need to be thinking along the lines of STEM and how we can progress life throughout the universe. This is the app to invest time in with your family. It is one app f my favorite things. 😁

Very useful app! Would love more features for astrophotography.. I’ve been using this app for around 2 years now and it’s been extremely useful. I do astrophotography and it has been great for finding deep sky objects and planning my photos. The new update is great in order to plan images with focal length, there is one thing I believe lots of people would benefit from though and that’s the ability to plan mosaic images which is multiple images next to each other to create a bigger one. There is really no app that can do this, and it is very useful for astrophotographers like me.

My favorite fun app. The functionality of this app is astounding. Not only does it synch up with your location and which compass direction you are facing, showing you the sky as you hold it up and move around, but you can freeze the view, set a date and time for a view (like, your birthday) and locate specific stars, satellites, planets, constellations and other traditional heavenly bodies. I use it almost every day just to fly a little, and it tells me when the ISS will fly over and from what direction! As a science fiction writer the stats on stars has been invaluable in ensuring I don’t goof up important facts and it inspires me on dull days. No regrets, worth every penny!

I feel small. As bizarre as it seems, looking out into the vast dark skies and seeing dots with more history than everything we’ve ever known is insane. I love being able to look outside and being able to see thing that I thought was just another star, be a freaking galaxy! Seeing the space station fly across the skies has become a regular routine I’ve had for quite some time now, and it doesn’t seem like that’s gonna stop anytime soon. This app is truly incredible, and is worth every penny, if not more.

Fantastic!. This app has way more features than I thought! It’ll show you the names of stars planets, and other space structures and even provides articles on them. It tells you when they rise, set, and the best time to view them. This app even has a compass feature, allowing you to point your phone at a star and see which one it is! Sky Guide also has a Calendar feature that lets you know about upcoming events like what days planets will be most visible or when planets will be in close proximity to the moon in the night sky. I definitely recommend this app to space lovers like myself. I can’t get off this app!

Great constellation and planet guide. I’m very happy to have found this app, I was a Boy Scout in my early part of my life and remember using acompasa and astronomy book to try to locate objects in the night sky. It was fun but lots of work. This app is as easy as it gets to find and learn of the lights in the night sky. Point your cell phone and touch anything on the screen and learn the name of the object and some interesting history behind the name. I can recognize and show my children and grandchildren and friends objects that we see but don’t appreciate until we learn what they are. I recommend this amazing app to both newbies and seasoned star gazers. Enjoy! Leo M

Unbelievable.... Rarely am I impressethis app is something that I wished I had always wanted when I was a child and now my kids and I use it frequently when we aecamping outside. we LOVE IT!with an app. This app blew me away. It is a beautiful creation. Kudos to those who designed and created it. My two sons (5 & 9 years old) and I have had great fun peering into the night sky. The look on their faces when they discovered that the "star" they thought they were looking at was actually the planet Jupiter ...priceless. Thank you for that gift. I would recommend this app to any parent and anyone who has ever looked into the night sky with wonder.

Simplicity is key. I’ve tried quite a few astronomy apps and this one really is the best. Many of the others overwhelm with showing all known stars… to the point that you can’t relate what the app is showing to what you’re seeing in the sky. This app on the other hand shows the most visible stars which corresponds closely to what I can see with my own eyes. I’ve learned a lot in just a few days of using the app. There’s also a brilliantly implemented search feature which points you using arrows until you can see star or constellation you’re looking for. Highly recommended!

Arcturus is my JAM! Why?..... 1. My homeboy Arcturus dominates the Booty (designated Alpha Boötis, Arcturus is the brightest star in the constellation of Boötes,)!! Lol. 2. Taking 4th! Place in the Mr. Universe (literally, lol!) Brightest Star contest is quite the feat (there were only like millions of other contestants to beat)! If the contest was limited to the northern celestial hemisphere, Arcturas would take the brightest grand prize 🌞⭐️🏆... 3. I know this and lots of other interesting bits of information about Arcturus as well as many other gems in the celestial heavens BECAUSE OF SKY GUIDE! Sky Guide is a very accurate, informative and intuitive application! Now when you look up to the night sky, break out the Sky Guide app and be prepared to be amazed.
