Reviews for SkySafari 7 Plus

Great app! I find it easier than stellarium but my only gripe is that keyboard does not work when in night mode and with my keyboard coloured red. Makes keyboard searches unusable but not a major issue as have usually planned using the observing list. Well done Devs.

Same problem as described by Jeff Crist – app is closing whenever I scroll through the tonight screen and it has been absolutely fine up until a few days ago. As Jeff says if you reinstall it solves the problem but only for a very short time. This has been a brilliant app sofar but […]

Great for locating objects a time night or day. Tons of useful information right at your fingertips. Couldn’t do without it. The screenlock releasing when zooming in and out is a bit annoying however. Not a deal breaker though.

This app sells itself as turnkey method to control celestron scopes. It doesnt work on my Evolution C8. Additional downloads and some tweaking of network settings are needed to control the various scopes – they are not included in the app but need downloading after purchase. I’m not a tech guru, so it’s not for […]

Only 2 issue found in 4 years: The sky map shows M33 as the Pinwheel galaxy, when M101 is actually the Pinwheel, and M33 is the Triangulum Galaxy. Tried contact the team at Sky Safari resulted in zero reply, so I’m stating it here to hopefully tell them. I use this app for all my […]

The Observe / Scope Display function on this Android app does not seem to work at all on my NEC Lavie 8 inch tablet. It worked great on iOS system version but I wonder if this an Android bug? Of course I have explored all options in the menu including activating it when no telescope […]

Worked well at first but now app crashes whenever scrolling on Tonight screen. Reinstall briefly fixes it then issue returns. Reinstalled again and now can’t launch with message it can’t access local storage when there is no local storage permission. Says last update was Dec 2022? Huh? Joined Beta program. Still same issues. Just wow.

I had skysafari 7 plus installed and it worked, I tried updating to skysafari 7 pro, but it would just set there spinning, so I thought maybe I need to uninstall 7 plus. That didn’t help, 7 pro still wouldn’t install and just set there spinning so I got a refund. Now 7 plus won’t […]

The app is an valued tool for star hopping and I reccommend it highly for visual astronomers searching for deep sky objects and faint planets. One improvement it needs is the ability to change the minimum star magnitude limit on the fly (like magnification) so the view can be matched to what you see by […]

I Was still (as at 2024) using SF4Pro which is very good, and always resisted upgrading to new versions due to cost, however when the SF7Plus popped up for £2.79 I had to try it, and in all honesty it isn’t much different, I don’t own a goto scope so my strategy of not upgrading […]

I bought this android app to use its Compass function to set up the polar alignment for my star tracker. It worked fine at the beginning on my Samsung S24 Ultra, but it didn’t work after a few uses. Occasionally, it worked again, very frustrating! What could go wrong? The same issue with another user […]

Love the data, but the app is buggy on Android at the moment. It keeps randomly putting me back in compass mode while I’m trying to browse the sky by hand, and it also keeps resetting my star magnitude limit randomly as well, causing the sky to suddenly become impossiblly overcrowded with names. I change […]

Really enjoying this upgrade from Sky Safari 6 plus. I love that touching on a star will give an info panel. This is great. I loved the blue menus in 6 Plus and wish we could choose this and an option. The white menus are so bright. I do not have a telescope so can’t […]

Riddled with flaws–has bugs that have been ignored for over 24 months. Mag limits are ignored and change when zooming. Renaming an Observing list does not work–every keyboard I’ve tried opens and then closes itself. The blue shaded entries under “Tonight | Calendar”, has the text cut off and cannot be viewed. Searching for “Luna” […]

Easy to use and constantly updated.

useful app with easy-to-use features and accessible information

While this is a great app, I’m disappointed as an android user that AR or augmented reality is still missing from the app. It’s hugely important for photography and composing images. Also the lens catalog seems to nut understand the FOV for fisheye lenses, however I did find a work around for this Overall, it’s […]

have used this app for years even when it was called Sky Voyager. I use when on the observing field to get real time data. the screen you can change into night mode (red) tons of features.

It would be nice to have the ability to go back to the Observing List from Push To mode in one tap. Going from the root menu and selecting the same Observing List every time is tedious.

Much of the time, I open version 5 instead because 7 is so bloated with options I just don’t have the time or desire to learn. My biggest gripes are: 1.) If you live in the city and want to declutter the display, you can use a slider and see the unwanted stars drop out, […]
