Reviews for Sky Tonight - Star Gazer Guide

So far unsure about the app. Trying to get familiar with it but keep getting interrupted by bright blue-light ads. Completely ruins my night vision and makes me want to close the app. I understand ads for a free app, and I don’t mind paying for a good app to get rid of ads (assuming […]

Too expensive! Pain in the butt to unsubscribe it from my credit card. I went to uninstall it and received the message that the paid subscription would still be charged even if it was uninstalled! But it does have nice drawings of the various constellations. It’s difficult to know where you are looking unless you […]

Uninstalling just 10 minutes after installing. I installed this because it got such great reviews. When I opened the app to use it, it looked interesting. After exploring a lot of the settings, I noticed it was uncalibrated. Tried calibrating for 5 minutes. It wouldn’t calibrate. I don’t know. Maybe it’s my phone, but this […]

I love this app, it really takes star gazing to a whole new level, I’m seeing and understanding what I’m looking at through the telescope more than I ever have. I’ve always been a space geek and this app makes it easy to find what u want to see without having to hunt for constellations […]

Fantastic UI. Easy to get around. Good info that goes deeper than many similar apps but does not get in the way if you just want to identify something you see in the sky. In many ways this is superior to Sky Safari 7 plus for those who want to do visual and binocular astronomy. […]

I would love to give it a 5 star. this app has potential to be a spectacular viewing aide for helping get our younger kids curious about the universe. Unfortunately every time you go to inquire about the planets or even navigating through your list. You get bombarded with commercials. I understand that is why […]

Nice app, showes where everything is and it can tell you what it is your looking at, like a planet or man made stuff. One of the best sky apps I’ve come across. It also lets you know what’s available to see, really neat, I didn’t know there was so much to see, where to […]

I absolutely LOVE this app. It’s pretty accurate with the placement of celestial bodies, provides lots of information, tracks satellites, events, comets, etc. Bonus; it provides awesome music to enhance your experience, and each time you select a heavenly body, it’s given its own musical note (I love composing with the stars). ONLY downside I’ve […]

Still trying to figure out how to use it. At first it would give you augmented AI which didn’t help inside the house.Thar was just as well because the compass was off by 180°. The compass seems to sort itself out after turning the phone on and off. Now when I’m outside I can’t use […]

I don’t understand why “precise location” is required. Technically, it only adding Bluetooth and wifi to make the location better, mostly useful in the cities. When I’m out there looking at the stars, I have no wifi nor Bluetooth. GPS location alone should be good enough. I cannot speak of other capabilities of this app, […]

I’ve been using sky tonight for a little while now and it’s been extremely helpful with my astrophotography. However, the last couple of times I’ve opened the app the bar on top of the screen that includes the search icon, calendar, etc will not allow you to select anything on it. It just acts like […]

Stopped using this a few years ago (to be fair I didn’t replace it or anything), I just didn’t have much need for it. I just picked it back up and so far it seems smoother and a bit more polished but again its been a while. I’ve used it for a few hours since […]

My subscription was a one time purchase, but Google store screwed it up. Now I don’t have it, because they kept charging my card for monthly. Now I had to cancel it, to get them to stop bugging me to pay for a month. This app has so many different categories of things you can […]

My 3 year old thinks it’s the most amazing thing. Wish I was able to zoom in when viewing real life with the constellation overlays. And also a picture capture option would be top notch. All in all, great app. Love being able to know where the moon will rise exactly as I’m looking out. […]

Great app, will get premium if you allow for hiding the intrusive menu which is always present on the screen. Because these apps are so beautiful, imo you either have to have a minimal menu, or a way to hide everything. Maybe I’m just missing it. The reason for these specific reviews is that I […]

My favorite star app. I love that you can click on the stars and learn more info on the spot, love that you can adjust the brightness, and I even love the camera mode. I wish there was a way to turn it off and on more easier (the central button in the corner is […]

UPDATE: Its been over a year now. Still being charged though it was supposed to be paid off 4 mos ago. The alerts are annoying, untrue, and thinky veiled attempts to convince me to download two additional apps. The constellation names aren’t even the common names. You can’t zoom in or out functionally. The calibration […]

I love the app. I use it to find satellites and the iss. It has a option that allows you to set a notification of how long of time before it will start to come over the horizon, if its going to be bright and high enough for you to see with the naked eye. […]

Requires little calibration and always seems to be right on target. Polaris representation aligns with magnetic North. 4 stars because it’s difficult to close out ads, even after they’ve finished playing, requiring that I completely close the app and restart it to get rid of the ad. Developers, please don’t allow ads to hijack your […]

I used to love this app for viewing meteor showers every month. I find a lot of info on the monthly calendar incorrect, now. The time panel at the top is usually incorrect. Manually trying to change it does no good, as it says it doesn’t coincide with the date and time on the app. […]
