Great app overall! I love how much information it gives about each star, planet. constellation, object, satellite, etc. Only wish is if possible, programming the app to show solar and lunar eclipses in real time (based on the user's location).
This is my FAVORITE app of all time! It combines education, beautiful, tranquil summer skies, and augmented reality that is ACTUALLY immersive. The music is soothing. I've had the full edition twice and it's definitely a buy; but, having the galaxies on the screen when you can't see them with your naked eye sometimes ruins the pure simplicity of the app. The free one is GREAT on its own.for drawing beginners into science. at the rate my phones are stolen, I don't always upgrade..
I've been using the app for about 8 years and I love it. It's simple, has enough options to tweak, like night mode in red or green so not to disturb the surroundings, with an augmented reality mode. You can also use it as a navigator and pair hardware with it.
I was skeptical when I first read about the app in a BBC news article and thought it was too good to be true when I first tried the free version. now I luve out of town where you can truly see the everything in the night sky. I splurged the whole $2.22 to buy this version and enjoy it 10 times more. I highly suggest everyone buy the paid version and enjoy all the extras added to it. Happy Stargazing astronomers! and thanks Skyview!
Not sure what happened, but unable to calibrate the compass anymore & it's all over the place! The moon & sun rise to the west, this app is basically useless. Figures after I purchased the pro edition. Still useless after all these years! Hoping to see where the moon is & the compass is everywhere except where it's supposed to be!
I've been using this app for about a decade now. its a great app to have. can't tell you how many times I used it while out with people or by my self. Well worth the $2 for the paid version but use the free version for a while before you commit. its a basic star app but perfect for when your out looking at the night sky.
Soooo much fun! I only paid a few bucks and I get to keep the app. They don't charge you monthly like everyone else. Totally worth it! I can see Planets, Stars, and satellites on real-time. I can see what direction I want to be looking at and then I can focus on certain objects in the sky and it gives you a little bit more of the backdrop story. I pull out my phone quite a bit and look to see what I'm looking at. So fun! 🤩 Try it. I bet you will love it so much.
THE best app for star gazing. I love the way it shows the light sources immediately near me in such a way that doesn't interfere with the heavenly bodies. And you can make it show the planets as large as you like. (The planets are the most interesting IMHO.)
Excellent app but would love to see two things added to make it amazing, first one is an image within the app that shows what the object looks like instead of having to go to the Wikipedia page. the second and something that would really make this app awesome is an option to automatically have the app read out the description. I have my phone mounted to my telescope and use it pretty much as a finder scope so the additions would make this app absolutely amazing
Used this for years and it used to be awesome - you'd see something moving in the night sky and it would tell you what it was, but it now doesn't show anything and shows satellites where there are none. Tried recallibrating, resetting the time etc and still doesn't work. Very disappointing for a paid app.
