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 that is an option for this app). If I keep getting blinded by bright ads that overrule the dark red settings then I likely will stop using the app before I know if it's worth paying for ad removal.

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 are very experienced with the various planets and stars.

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 app won't work for me.

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 for reference points! what a great perspective of somewhere I've always wanted to go this app gives you!!! Absolutely love using this app, would recommend to anyone who loves space, stars, or astronomy in any way!

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. The observing predictions for clouds, darkness are very accurate— why don't all astronomy apps have this feature? Worth every penny I paid for it—I just wish it wasn't such a battery hog--my biggest complaint.

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 you can offer it for limited free but it gets to be way too much to keep your kids interested. Please try to find a way to reduce them so every time you touch something you don't get adds.

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 look and time frames. Lots of info! I like it a lot! I was able to locate Saturn and was confident it was Saturn, I was able to take pics. So much fun.

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 run into is the (slightly) annoying habit of the screen timing out while I view the stars, or read info, prompting recalibration of the compass.

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 it to find things in the sky because it does not work like sky map. The information saying when a comet will rise above the horizon or set is in dark blue and small print. It makes you buy a companion app.

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, because it doesn't let me use it without so-called precise location.
