Skyview App Reviews

I always asked my dad to go outside and we asked my mom if she would come out for the first time to watch us and my mom was like OMG this is so cool and I was like lagging so hard

I download this app because my aunt told me about it. Using it this morning out of curiosity. The sky is cloudy impossible to see the stars but it picked up stars. But when I faced the at the floor it showed me planets and star constellations which is extremely impossible because there are no stars on the floor. Waste of money.

I love this app. If you enjoy look at the night sky and would like to know where everything is up there and where the planets and constellations are then this app is well worth the couple of dollars it cost. Absolutely love this app.

One of the coolest apps I’ve seen..! We’ve all gazed at the sky wondering what’s overhead and this app answers those questions!! There is no guessing what constellation that is or why is that “star” moving when actually it’s a satellite!

A great app and worth the small price! I purchased it when we moved onto a large property in the country, away from the city lights. My family and I have enjoyed spotting constellations and even, just tonight, the ISS! I will be exploring more features of this app to get even more enjoyment from it.

Love stargazing. Great time glamping and star gazing. Everyone in our group had fun.

It has everything one could think of and a lot more. Take your time and enjoy all it has to offer.

I’ve purchased the full version, but it is not working. It shows the exact same image, no matter how I move my phone around. Please help!

Seeing no difference between the free version and the upgrade. Disappointing

I love this app! It’s really easy to use and learn about astronomy in a fun way.

It worked great and then there was an update the cost more and it stopped working

Can't wait to use it on our barge in France. It works like a dream. Continues to be the best of the best Used it on the barge as well as on our Lanai in Hawaii facing due east. A totally invaluable tool.

Love this app!

Fun application and have shared with friends. Last update was a year ago so wondering if it's being monitored by the developer.

One of the best apps around. Very educational

When you point the moon it does not show he moon, when you see the moon in the app you will find the phone pointing a bit to the left Difficult to figure out when things are close by

After installing, nothing happens. Only see sky thru camera with an “n” in the middle of the screen. Worthless

❤️❤️❤️

I really fell in love with SkyView. It makes it so easy to learn about what I'm looking at in the night sky. There's one thing I think could make the app even better: Currently the only way to look at a specific object in the sky through the app is to point and orient your device so it is facing that object, like the camera. But sometimes I would like to search around the sky without waving my phone in crazy directions, like if I'm lying in bed and want to pan over to what's under the horizon. I think it would be great to add a feature that lets you pan across the sky without needing to move your phone, so it is not oriented by the gyroscope. The view can stay at a constant zoom level, but being able to learn the stars without having to always point in that direction would be tremendously more convenient. This could be an option that you can switch on or off to keep the integrity of the original application as well. Please consider. Thanks for a wonderful contribution to the world!

I love the app, but with the upgraded version I have all this space junk. I can keep the satellites off or do you consider them one and the same? This app should separate the two as options. I was thinking about the latest satellite offering, but not with the other space junk.

I have had more fun with this app than I can say, and I’m a mom with grown kids. Found out about this app while at the beach. Still enjoying it at home. Night vision filter is helpful. I’ve found Space Station, planets, stars and even space junk aka rocket bodies. Don’t care for sound track. Wish I could set my own. Highly recommend to everyone. My 20 year old wishes he had this as a help to get through his high school astronomy class. GET this app! You won’t be disappointed.

We used SkyView on our Cape Cod vacation and loved it. It helped us confirm our sightings and even let us see the space station. It is easy to use and not intrusive. Download this for your vacation!

I’ve always been interested in learning about space and this app is wild! I’m getting a telescope now that I have a great guide to tell me what I’m looking at. Hours of fun; I highly recommend!

The best sky viewing app I've used... Awesome to use with my kids and it's really easy to use and understand

This app is just super! Makes for very intrestung conversation and companionable viewing of the heavens with family and friends. Worth much more than the price of admission!! ✨

There used to be a camera that would allow layering real world structures onto sky.

Love the app but it’s rarely totally accurate in fact it’s getting worse every time.

I am wowed!

I would love a cloud cover feature. Save me a trip outside for nada.

Calibration is off and on!!! Why? It drifts!!! I love it when it works!!! It has taught me the stars! But why does it drift!

If works & works well. Plenty of options to suit how one likes to use it - simple to detailed. Got insomnia? Fire this app up and start exploring until the little sheep appear. :)

I love this app so much... It just reminds me of how small I am in the universe... such a well made app

Worth every penny!

I love the option to turn on manual calibration and be able set any date and time for the display so I can show my friends "look what I saw 2 nights ago!" Great app!!

I love this app there's no other that I have found that you could be lying in your bed and look at ALL the stars planets and space stations as well. My sister loves it too. I Remain Yvonne Daniels

Presented app to neighbors, they feel in love with it, simple to use just amazing , star gazing will never be the same, all children should have this, to be able to gaze at the heavens! WOW

Zero! I enjoyed it for years but it just stopped working a year or more ago. It does nothing now regardless of all my attempts to change it’s settings and to notify it’s source. System won’t allow me to give it zero stars. I’m forced to give one star.

Very easy to use for complete beginners looking at the night sky. I have recommended it to many people, maybe 50+. I got my first telescope 5 years ago and have advanced my knowledge of the sky and my many telescopes. But SkyView is still my go to app when out observing.

One of the best apps I’ve used. I can discover the stars with this.

Honestly, stars have always fascinated me. I didn’t know much about them until I got this app. I even want to be an astronomer now! Super educational and super fun on a starry night.

This app shows in depth stats and shows their path, shows satellites suns and anything else that

I love the night sky but the app is just still I move it around "8" and it still wouldn't calibrate. Wish this problem would be fixed

Rate app. Have had it for years. My kids and mother in-law love to use it too. Great for hanging outside or inside

I’m disappointed in the App. I can literally point the phone at my floor and it show constellations. Waste of money.

Such a great tool for observing the sky above. The augmented reality is very accurate.

I love this app because I can see the stars even on a cloudy night. The display shows the star patterns against the sky in daylight, clouds, or fog if the AR mode is used. You can even take a screen shot. This makes it a great tool for educational tool for both science and art instructors. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

For the space nerds or casual cosmic observer, it’s fun and easy to use. I highly suggest upgrading so you can also see satellite and space junk info as well. (Solid rocket boosters).

I am an educator and I use this app for all of my astronomy programs. It locates so many objects that are visible with the bare eye. This is my favorite app to use and I am great full to have it at my disposal.

Can you allow finger scrolling and disable the gps tilt controls. When you are tucking your kids into bed it’s hard to show the solar system when I have to move the device in different angles only allowing a small portion to be seen as I don’t want the kids letting out of bed to look behind or below.

No music on my cellphone. A friend told me about the amazing music on this app and it doesn’t work in my iphone.

Detailed, accurate and nice to look at - the best night sky app I’ve used.

Heavy Duty i.e.

Maybe it’s me, but I can’t see the difference between the $1.99 app and the free app. Disappointing

I have so much fun using this app; probably my favorite app of all time!

Simple, yet very complete, for the stargazer who wants to learn more about what's "up there".

This a great app, I love to see when the planets are visible. Can you add Eris to the solar system list please?

Question. Why do you see so much more space debris ( rocket bodies and satellites ) when you look thru the earth?

Everywhere I go I have a reason to pull out my phone and look up. Pretty cool to learn when it’s not a great day to look at stars, but when you are in a place where you can see it all...it’s amazing to use, too. Would recommend the premium purchase too

I paid the money for the app, just to open it and find that the app dont work on my device. Im completely dissatisfied with this

I got 4 people to download this app mine is the only one that doesn’t work. I’d love my money back since I go the paid version! But good luck getting in touch with anyone

please update.

Even though the saved location is correct, South is West and I have to manually guesstimate the direction each time.

Paid and downloaded this and am really disappointed. Anywhere - literally *anywhere* - I point my phone camera, the app shows me a constellation as if it’s some big revelation...even when pointing at the wall, the patio, and twinkle lights in my backyard. Had no idea there were constellations on my patio. Bogus app, total waste of money.

It does nothing. I point at the sky and does not give information of where I’m pointing. It doesn’t seem to recognize that I’m moving. Very frustrating. I know I pay only $2 but I feel cheated.

Very nice it’s really cool but I wish that you could make you own thing with the stars so there can see it it would be cool love this app

So yesterday at night I wanted to find mars because that will be day until mars shows up again to its closest in 265 years which I’ll be dead by then. So I didn’t have a telescope so I remember that my teachers had this app and they said it’s really good to see planets and stars, so I bought it and I tried it out and we checked a star that was red with the SkyView app and... It was Mars!!!! That red little star in the sky was mars! We also saw other planets too like Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune but you can’t see it with the n**** eye but the app detected it and right beside Neptune was the moon! Except the moon was closer. We didn’t see the moon because the trees were covering it. Thank you for this app! Others who see this must get this app! It’s worth it! it even works in day time too!

The concept of this app is cool. But the app doesn’t work effectively. When you aim to the sky it jumps all over the place. One second you have the location of Mars & the next thing you know, the app jumps and Mars moves to the other side of the planet. Very aggravating.

A great app to use for in-depth as well as casual observation of our universe. Easy access to information on all that we know is out there.

It’s so much fun to be able to see all these stars and planets, I always try to find polaris and ursa major and minor.(the big and little dipper).

This app did work before but now fixed on one spot and doesn’t rotate. This is trash!!!

If I could click on lights like street lights in my neighborhood and tone it down like clicking on red eyes while editing photos that would be great. Think about it.

Love the app...please add Chiron to it!!

Tracks planets - great overlay! Just rotate phone to see where they are in real time !

The Coolest app I've ever had!!!!

Absolutely addicting... best app ever for sky fanatics...

It seems to no longer work anymore. I’ve downloaded the light in the full paid version to resolve the issue. Once upon a time it worked, but now looks like gremlins are in the gears.

This app is awesome! It makes it super easy to identify what is where! We have only had this app for a few days but it truly is amazing that we are able to see even the rocket bodies (Aka space junk) we have left behind up there! I keep waiting to see a Tesla go floating by. (Laughing but not really). Awesome. Awesome app!

I’m a retired aerospace engineer and have always looked at the night sky in wonderment. We never had a family camping trip without discussions of the night sky and the amazing beauty of it all. All of us could identify the Big Dipper, Mars and the moon, but everything else was guesswork until we discovered this App. I love sitting on the back deck an simply being able to locate all the planets or that bright star in the eastern sky or the many satellites and space junk that I helped put up there. I am so happy I found this App. Educational and a great way to impress your kids or grandkids with your new found knowledge. Easy to use. I look forward to many nights of enjoyment. Thank you!

Love it !

I tried downloaded it several times but I can’t get it to work. It is stuck on one constellation and doesn’t pick up the planets or stars around me.

Loved the app until was sitting outside looking at a full blood moon with a very bright Mars close by, however the Skyview app has them both way in the west when they are south. Very disappointed! I was trusting this app for honest accuracy. :(

Won’t hold direction. Not a happy camper with the app.

I rated the app lower than I actually enjoy it as a plea to separate the constellations from all the space junk out there! The basic format to enthrall the viewer with the beauty above us, I feel is denigrated by man’s pollution of a pristine environment like Mt. Everest for the sake of achievement! I’d like see the stars and the stuff separated into two apps, or add ons. I’d pay for the ones I want for the experience, or information, I want. It is a great app —- make it better! Please!

I’m not sure what the deal is, but sometimes the app will work really well at locating satellites and other times it doesn’t show them at all; even though I can see them in the sky.

I really LOVE this app! My only complaint, I guess it would be a complaint, is that i don’t have an option anywhere to record and not just take a still photo. It would be SUPER AMAZING if I could take a small clip of Venus actually rotating in space! And record the rocket body pieces that are floating in space! It’s truly amazing to see it, I would LOVE to record it/ video it. Other than that, I think it’s a truly inspiring app for any lover of the stars! I am so thankful to be able to view one of the many awe and wonders of God through this app. Thank you!

2nd time I have loaded this app and I still can’t get the dang thing to track!! At one point it did, but when I came back to the app again the next day it had stopped again.

One of the best apps I’ve used to look at the night sky, recommend highly.

An outstanding app showing you constellations, planets, satellites, telescopes and just about everything that’s in our skies. This app has so many great, easy to use, fun features, I just can’t get enough of it even as a novice user. My mind fires away when I scan the heavens to learn more about our observable universe. Worth! Every! Penny!

What a fantastic find! Another sky/star guide app was often much more advertised and recommended. And as I searched to download it, I noticed this one and looked it over. I immediately knew this was the one for me. I purchased the bundle, so freaking happy I did!! I AM SO ADDICTED TO THIS APP AND I CAN NOT STOP TELLING PEOPLE THEY’D BE CRAZY NOT TO DOWNLOAD IT. If you can spend 9.99 on music, you can spend 2.99 for this amazing sky guide & if you're like me 4.99 for the bundle, that's a #BARGIN!

To look up the stars I see in the sky. Track the moon or find constellations. Great teaching tool for my niece and nephew!!

I’m out looking at the stars and the planets and I Point my phone toward a planet or the moon and it’s so far off where it should be. Not helpful

I simply love this app! I can see where all the planets and galaxies are day or night!

I downloaded the free version and worked great then upgraded to the 1.99 one and now is so inaccurate!! Not happy or impressed. Stay with the free version!!!

Neat app

Great app worth the money

Everyone I show this to has to have it. My six year old granddaughter loves it as well.

I enjoy seeing what’s in the sky and the identification of the heavenly lights. The only problem I have is that the location are off a bit and centering them is difficult. I have tried to sync them on the app but it’s difficult to maintain the view.

I'm a star not I love seeing the stars and I absolutely miss being able to see the Milky Way in the sky's glory of luck of of its beauty this app is wonderful I get to see it all thank you.

Never had an app just jump off the “page” like this one did! Bottom line this is COOL!!

My family Has had this app for a number of years and it never gets old. We are always amazed by the ease in which we can explore and ponder the universe. While many are so predisposed to languish on their phone by doing email and Facebook, take a moment and use this app to see this magnificent universe the envelops and surrounds us. Amazingly our ancestors know much more about the universe then us because they took time to challenge their brains and imagine the wonders of the world.

Use it a lot.

Awesome job. Love using this app. Well done, SkyView!

This app has not updated to show the asteroid Vesta that is currently passing by the earth and can be viewed by the n**** eye until July 16 or 17 2018, according to NASA. Why have an app that does not update huge events such as this one. The next time we will be able to see this spectacular event will be 2040. It has proven to be a nice start for amateur star gazers such as myself however, the developers need to pay close attention to large events so those who have the app can, for some, experience a once in a lifetime celestial event.

I’m pointing my device directly at the moon but skyview doesn’t pick it up. I’m facing south with the North Star at my back but skyview says the star I’m pointing my device at is the North Star.

Love this app. Spent half an hour outside tonight with my Grandson sky watching. He loved it. He thought it might be the Coolest app out there. Learning while having fun 🌕⭐️👍

Love this app. I’ve always enjoyed catching a satellite or two zip over the night sky, but this database is astounding. I also can’t believe all the space trash that is out there. Amazing that it is all tracked and named. The planet ID is terrific. Love the trajectory feature and music as well.

Enjoying the app but can’t get the Today widget. Have sent several messages to the developer but never a response. Frustrated with it. Otherwise a great app.

I really enjoy this App, I have shown my children this View, now all three have it in there iPhones. It’s great when we’re at a BBQ, we sit by the fire and talk about the Sky View sky. Thanks, The Oppies

I’ve had it the app for a while but the calibration is terrible. Doesn’t work half the time.

I just looked at the moon and it’s not close to the position this app had. Is anything right?

So, my family absolutely LOVES this app. Since My husband & I are as equally excited about star-gazing as our kids, we find the app comes in handy. It’s useful because it allows for entertainment purposes, learning abilities, as well as just answering a family member’s question, “What is that star called & is it a planet???” So we will never rid ourselves of this app unless they start charging crazy amounts of money, or really any money at all if I were being honest. I’d drop it like a hot potato if that happens, and it hasn’t yet. Now for the flaw....I may just not being using the App correctly, but I seriously doubt that because I’m great with computers of all types. I truly think it’s because the app is lacking information on important objects and/or subject matter. Case and point....there is an asteroid that is so close to earth that you can see it with the n**** eye. I don’t have copious amounts of gear—or money to buy it—to really find it in the night sky by myself. So I ran and got my phone to open the app, all the while hoping I’d find and see it instantly. I also wanted to show my husband & the kids this asteroid we’ve been hearing about. It’s a named asteroid, and it should be in the directory/search engine so that people can find it. It does not show up at all, whether it’s a name or picture. Asteroids aren’t the only things absent. Comets, meteor showers, etc, are also missing. This doesn’t help me much because the asteroid will be gone before we can find it ourselves. So, PLEASE add these viewing options, as well as any I’ve missed. This will allow your audience to get the whole experience that is intended with this app. All together, and after the add-on’s, this app will be the best out there. Until then, we will still love and use the SkyView, BUT we will be waiting with all fingers & toes crossed that they hurry and get to updating the program. The sky will be the limit—pun intended— after those features are added to SkyView. Thanks for an amazing experience!!!😍

I love this app. Try using it at night by the sea, it is lovely and romantic.

I don’t know if I’m an amateur astronomer or what you would call it I am just fascinated with the wonders of the night sky. I heard about this app on a field trip with my daughters school and thought why not give it a try? Amazing and mind blowing are the first two words that come to mind. If you love to learn new things and have even a small interest in what goes on over our head as the world turns then definitely download this app(you will most certainly appreciate it ) and hold your phone up high to take a look at the night sky it is not falling it’s always there and anyone can see it from any where AMAZING

What great way to see the heavens all mapped out what He has done. The placements of the stars and the planets, who ever knew that these are arranged in a way that we can all admire. For the developer who designed it, that we can all use to look up and see where all are, thanks for making it possible for us. Absolutely no problem using the technology we can all share.

I find stargazing very interesting and this app is perfect.

We love this app! My boys love looking for the planets and stars!

I use this app for entertainment and education as well as locations for stars, planets and satellites I want to photograph.

best app i bought

When on vacation in Mexico, where you can actually see the stars....I’ll I can say is OMG. Best App ever for anyone interested in the sky.

I feel like Sky View Lite is better now because I just paid $2 to see a bunch of space trash. It took the magic away. I don’t care about a bunch of “rocket bodies” floating around forever. Can you please remove them?

What’a Amazing app I can’t say nothing bad about it. The fact that you can see practically every single little star is Just breathtaking. Educational and just over all a well made. And if your into astronomy it’s the app for you.

A few minor bugs, the whole video the stars thing needs more work.

This app is easy to use, accurate and just plain fun.

I drive a truck for a living and it’s fun to Park at night and look at the stars

This is a horrible app, none of the stars or planets are real. "Oooooohhh there are stars in .y kitchen " don't get it

This app is a lot of fun. I could never find constellations on my own no matter how many times my husband pointed them out. With this app I can find them easily.

It surpassed my expectations

Always find what I want. Simple intuitive navigation.

LOVE THIS APP!! Works great

I am so in love with these apps just from the short time that I have had them!! Super inexpensive comparatively and the calibration is perfectly on point. I am excited to be able to have detailed information at the tips of my fingertips anytime I am stargazing. Thank you for developing such a neat and informative application. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I like the app. Would like to be able to type in search bar using English, not Greek alphabet prefixes. This necessitates installation of a Greek Keyboard. A little difficult to click on the intended object at times, particularly on an iPad 2. It’s a bit easier on iPhone 7+ but I like the screen size better on the iPad due to my poor eyesight. This is not a negative review as I enjoy the app. Rather just some suggestions to make it simpler to use.

This is probably my favorite app to use, and maybe the only one on my phone that elicits a ‘wow that’s cool’ response to everyone I show it to. Why anyone wouldn’t have this on their phone is beyond me. You just open it up, point it at the star/planet/object you’re looking at, and it identifies it for you. That’s it. Shows what’s below the horizon too, aka what may be visible in a few hours. I’ve had this app for years and it’s never crashed or failed to open. For my needs it’s perfect. I recommend this to literally everyone who’s blessed with vision and has even the slightest curiosity regarding what’s in the sky.

Get this app, and learn about the heavens.

Love this app! So fun to be able to see the constellations and get info about the stars.

App is great, it would be cool if you could use the calendar on the app to go back and check events that happened like some of the other apps do, other than that 👍🏼!

I travel a lot so it’s great to pull this app out and take a look at, then verify what I’m seeing in the night sky. It can surly help pass some time while being informed and learning at the same time. I recommend it all the time. Thanks for creating it.

Skyview is a must have app for anybody interested in knowing what’s going on in the heavens. All of my friends had to have it after seeing what it was capable of at a recent party. Thank you!

Well done!

Makes the night sky come alive for me when using my telescope.

It could be better

Could you add a feature that lets you see planets beyond our solar system?

This App is never aligned with the sky even though I manually calibrate it. It resets moments after I manually calibrate it making it useless.

One of the very best. My brother n law is a Flight Director at JPL. I showed him this app and he wanted it instantly. The graphics and attention to detail are spot on. And the background music eerily enhances the overall experience.

Absolutely what I wanted! And it’s EASY TO use. I’m gonna be having a lot of fun!!!!!!

Easy to use and easy to set display preferences

Not going to find a better SkyView app. Perfect for determining astronomical locations for photography.

Perfect in almost every way and so easy to use. So many great options and non stop learning 24/7 weather it day or night.. cloudy or clear It’s never a bore to see what is around you and where it’s going. Accuracy on gps almost perfect. I use this app everyday and it’s made learning and star gazing my favorite pastime.

I had my grandma to show and teach me astronomy. She loved astronomy, and sharing her knowledge with youth. Tonight 4-2018, I couldn't help my kids with my grandmas wisdom. The three of them decided to search for an app to help with what they wanted to know. My oldest was back within minutes with an application to help get the answers. He dashed outside and took a picture, and within a moment, he had the answer. It was part of Canis Major. So my kids are more serious about astronomy than I thought! Because of this application! Thank you.

As a night photographer, it’s an amazing tool to know when the stars and moon are in my favor ahead of time! I use it every day!

I totally love this app!!!

I upgraded to the paid version and it fails to work. I have reset my phone trying to make it work. The free version was so nice so I decided to upgrade and it no longer works at all. It just opens to a frozen screen. Thanks a lot! Tons of fun! :(

Great tool to get you out door, looking at the sky!!!

I love this app & if you enjoy staring at the sky at night, you will too. There’s nothing like sitting by the campfire stargazing. Beyond Orion’s Belt & the Big Dipper, there was little I could ID. SV ID’s constellations I didn’t know existed, shows the locations of all the planets & their moons, stars of distant galaxies, satellites & even jettisoned rocket engines tumbling around Earth’s orbit. I started w/ the free version but upgraded & am glad I did.

It's really gud

Amazing!!! To see everything so easily. Even just laying in bed. Super cool app. I love it.

The reason I have rated this app only one star is simply because the location guiding services is far from being accurate. For example, if you are trying to locate the ISS or Tiangong 1, the app is not accurate, it can be off as much as 90 degrees. I am not sure why this is the case as it uses the same location system in each iOS device, resulting in troublesome identification if you are not a seasoned or experienced astronomer. I like the app, but there is another app that provides real time accurate location of any object your may wish to observe. If you know how to locate the object in mind, I would rate the app much higher.

Stuck looking North. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and messed with all the settings. The view will not move based on where my phone is pointing. I have used this app for years with my son a now it’s worthless. iPhone X

I simply can not get enough of exploration with this amazing state of the art app! Every time I turn on SkyView I am in awe learning something sew everyday. The features this app provides is impeccable and a must!

This is such a great app. It is very easy and fun to use and I have no regrets at all about paying for the full version.

Works great! Recommend!!

This app is great and all but it needs to be updated. Also, it isn’t as accurate as I thought. I used it to track the ISS but it didn’t calculate its positioning right. I had to use Stellarium on desktop to accurately tell me when I could spot the ISS.

I’ve been using this app for years and it’s been a great nighttime companion. The augmented reality view is really cool. Highly recommended.

Please can we update

Dev. Humanity Star tracker in the search... please?

Lots of fun with the young grandkids. Highly recommended!

5 Stars for “Age 4+.” Educational amusement for all ages. Lots of eye candy. WARNING If you get serious with it, you will be frustrated. The gyroscope drifts and the text indicates the wrong time to look for an event. You will look in the wrong direction at the wrong time and may miss the International Space Station flyover. Without knowing the fail was in the app’s limitations, you may give up which would be very unfortunate. SkyView is not intended as an accurate science instrument. It is a very nice educational toy.

I’m writing this review just because of how amazing this app is. I’m a kid who loves Astronomy, and takes it to long lengths. Just this Christmas, I got my first telescope! The Celestron 114 az Explorascope! I downloaded this app originally to see where my favorite star, Capella was located. Turns out, it had spot on location. I then got the full version, and have been using it on a weekly basis! This is an amazing app, and I look forward to using it for studying nebulas, planets, etc! I love this app mainly because I have been studying astronomy for about 5 years now, and have gone from knowing the basic 8 planets, to knowing the official names for several stars, galaxies, nebulae, and several other celestial bodies. This app is awesome for star gazing, planet watching, and exoplanet tracking! If you need a trustworthy, stable, easy to use app, download this for sure! My favorite part about this app is the mini lessons it gives you whenever you tap on a star, planet, nebula, star cluster, galaxy, you name it! I’m never downloading any other astronomy app! Thanks a bunch!! :)

so far I’m livening this app... only thing is there seem to be no rocket bodies above the horizon.... there ear dozens below the horizon... so it stands to reason there would be an equal number above as well...

This is one of the few apps I truly enjoy, an amazing piece of work! Thank you

Been using this app several months now off and on. I have a collection of favorites I have seen. Tonight I watched 4 sightings all within an hour!! Love this app. There is a learning curve, but worth the effort!!

Great app! Loving it!

I tried to use this on a Caribbean cruise. Even though i had access to latitude & longitude. The app doesn’t allow entry. We stopped at Jamaica. The app lists 3 cities to choose on Jamaica but not the one we landed at. Any way, a big disappointment.

This is truly an amazing app! Suggestion, I’d be willing to pay for a feature that tracks celestial events such as Comets & meteor showers. Could this be possible?

The best application in the interverse. A must have!

I like this app, I down loaded it while in a area with out any light pollution and it was amazing what you could see. Cannot believe all the space junk up there though! Fun to see all the satellites and the space station.

Have watched the Skys for 50 years, but in the last few have been watching with the Grandsons. SkyView makes it a joy for all of us. Simple for the old hands and newcomers alike to stay interested and learn of totally new observations. Recommend to anyone!

I love this app! But it seems lately it needs to be calibrated/corrected. Everything is way off. When I’m looking at the moon, I have to aim my phone almost in the opposite direction for the app to show the moon. Needs to be fixed. But otherwise this app is awesome!!

This is a perfect app for helping identify the different constellations and planets. For example, before I would make an educated guess on planets etc now I know for certain what I’m seeing. This is great for kids to learn about the sky too. Keep up the great work

Awesome app I really enjoy it the only thing wrong with the app is not being able to see the planets moons

It’s a great app. I was disappointed that M45 (the Pleiades) is not in the index or identifiable in the sky view. I view that as pretty significant shortcoming.

One of the best apps I've ever loaded. Kids love it. Educational and fun and worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Perhaps my favorite app kicking back with no one to bother me which allows me to actually contemplate the stars.

I don’t have to embarrass myself anymore asking what planet is that? I love this since I can see what’s in the sky and identify it with this app!

Very intriguing. This app definitely holds a sense of wonder.

Very nice to familiarize myself with the planets and more. Couple times I was in Utica NY, and the moon seem to go around the earth three times in a couple hr period. Maybe something wrong with the program. Or the gps is off a little. But other then that it’s a great app. They talk about global warming could it be that so many asteroids are blocking the suns rays.

Consider making the app support apples ‘smart invert’ dark mode setting.

Love this app.

Easy to use, and the easiest to view of several I've tried.

The app is awesome but doesn’t show comets including the 10th brightest comet to pass by the earth in modern times, the Christmas Comet or Comet 46P. I even bought all the expansion packs to be disappointed.

This app made it so much easier for me to teach myself about the night sky, but having to manually calibrate it every. single. time. I open. the app. is beyond frustrating. At the very least, allow us to save the manual location if your auto function is going to be as off as it is. Please update the app to incorporate this because the app is practically unusable without having the sun or moon in sight to calibrate with.

Really love this app but why doesn’t it show comet 46p? Also I swear it used to show the general location of the sky from where meteor showers emanate, but can’t find that now. Nevertheless I really love this app.

The brightest comment in years is visible in the next week or two. This app has no clue about it. 👎🏻

A great way to enjoy the night sky.

Can't wait to use it on our barge in France. It works like a dream. Continues to be the best of the best

I’m very disappointed with this app, it will not calibrate and will not let me manually calibrate. iPhone Max XS.

My Beautiful Bride of 12 years, and myself, have decided to live in an RV. After work we go to where ever the RV is parked for the weak and enjoy the freedom we have found! This wonderful app has opened our eyes to the magnificent sky our God has created. Doesn’t matter day or night, we are constantly searching for new things we’ve never seen. I love this app!! It’s detail is stunning!!! Standing on top of my RV, the view is magnificent!!!!!

I only paid for this to be able to use on my Apple Watch as the app description stated it was good for. However, it was misleading and does NOT work with the watch.

This app is fantastic. Everything about it is marvelous I always used to appreciate the sky but this made my love for it grow tremendously. I can now locate which planets are which and the bits and pieces of the constellations in the sky when before the app I would only erroneously guess. The app has two modes. One where you download it for free and the other where you pay something like 1.99. Both versions are fantastic. But if you are willing to put some money into this it’s even better. The sky is the TV of the universe (with God as it’s broadcaster) and it’s important that we pay attention to it. Psalm 19:1 “The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.”

It’s off quite a bit, still trying to learn how to keep calibrated for accuracy.

I love skyview. I love star gazing and this app perfectly helps with that. I love that it shows everything you want to see. Even some of the smaller things that aren’t planets like rocket bodies is so interesting. Love the app. 10/10.

Not as exciting to use without the ambiance of the music. Stopped playing when enabled. Sigh

Perfect for sky watching but seems miscalibrated.

I love this app. It just keeps getting better.

I think it is fun because you can explore the universe

In just minutes from the first time use, it brought awe and wonder in me and kids. Very intuitive and easy to use. Superb graphics and smooth movements. Keep up the great work!!

I opened it and was greeted by the request to tell the app where I am. I chose to let the app find out. When that didn’t work, I verified it is setup correctly (while using). Still will not locate me. I manually entered location. Works. Never had t do that before. Three stars is much too low for this app, But if it can’t find our location automatically, I have to wonder about the accuracy of the stars, etc, I am viewing!

I absolutely dig this app. My only dilemma from enjoying it better consists of me learning how to use the darned app. Until that happens I’ll just enjoy watching how badly we’ve littered-up space. Other than that, it is really a very groovy app. RAMJr

This app is amazing. It shows everything from distant star clusters to rocket bodies. There are lots of features and settings to personalize your experience. Great educational app.

I’m definitely an amateur stargazer but I love this app! Easy to view, even indoors. Fascinating to see where satellites and planets are and to learn a few more constellations.

Shows you where to find all the planets, stars, galaxies, nebulas, and even satellites! Very cool

iPhone X, latest update installed. Will not calibrate at all. The viewer is stuck in one position and won’t move. I’ve uninstalled and tested on another phone with same IOS and the same thing. Very disappointed

Very good app to help locate sky objects

At first I was using the Lite version (for years) and LOVED it. Recently I decided to upgrade to higher version and all of a sudden my compass doesn’t work. The app doesn’t pick up my proper directions so I’m always having to recalibrate upon opening and again if I click on an object in the sky.

I really love this app, I am very interested in astronomy and to have an app that tells you where ever star and constellation and planet is in the sky is wonderful. Plus, it has sightings that tell you what you can see now and you can see satellites and space stations.

A must have!

Found this and have had it from way back. No other app compare’s to what you can find, or learn about what you see. Have spent hours laying in the yard or up on the roof. Have the planets and satellite apps as well but really enjoy what you can do

This is the best app we’ve used for stargazing!! The kids and I love to look at the sky and find different planets and constellations!

Please fix the Satellites app it doesn’t work with IOS 11.

No problem with it. And very nice music with it (you can turn of the music) very use full

I just wish I could zoom in/out.

Very observent and amazing to the human eye

The truth.

Too much junk getting in way of viewing. Cannot find or view International Space Station with the junk displayed on screen.

I pointed the phone at Orion's belt this morning and Skyview gave me all sorts of star numbers, but did not use the name Orion anywhere. I would like the app to name the constellations with the classic, everyday names so I can learn them. Nothing looks quite like Orion's belt, so I was pretty sure I had identified that correctly, but the app was of no help. No one looks up at the sky and says, "Look, there's R344567-3!"

Love it

So awesome! The Milky Way song makes it feel like you’re in a planetarium, only it’s real! Perfect for stargazing on a summer night with your woman laying next to you.

Who new that there was so much space junk! That revel alone would give it four stars. Aside from that, I learn something new each time I open the app. One of my favorites, thank you!

I love the way this app looks, and the trajectory view and augmented reality are nice features.

This app was finding stars and constellations when my phone was pointed down at the floor and on furniture. Doesn’t seem legit.

I just bought the bundle and I can’t even use this app because the developers haven’t updated it for iOS 11. Come on man, even c***** apps have done so. Fix this so I can use it!

THIS APP IS SO COOL!!!

Great to view stars, constellations, and other space objects. I have a fun time opening the app when I am curious and having a look around to see what’s going on. (👏give👏⛎👏 it's👏 zodiac👏sign👏)

Loved the ability to take a picture of what I was seeing. Suddenly, that option is gone. Why?

Everything is pretty much off! Even when trying to calibrate it manually after a few minutes it goes back to its original misaligned planets and constellations. Beyond annoying!

One of the best apps I’ve seen yet. It can even be used indoors to find stars and planets and it has information on all of them. It’s fun to use and you can learn at the same time.

Paid for this app. It was on the Apple Watch and now it says it's unavailable and it's needs updated. There is no available update. This needs to be fixed...

I love it...fun and easy to use and my grandkids just love it....

AMAZING !!! love it... very educational & interesting, lots to learn from, & lots of surprises about the universe, the app that i go to before going to bed... it makes me smile what i see with hard to say names & figures which makes it exciting😀...we all have this app in my family, & compare what we found..❤️❤️❤️ thank u!!!

But don’t use the magnetic case with anything that uses the compass lol the screen will lockup and not navigate.

I've been using this app to accompany my night sky viewing with a telescope. It has been very helpful in letting me identify stars and constellations that I have been unfamiliar with. The paid version is definitely worth while. Not only will it show you all the celestial objects above the horizon, like Messier objects, but it will also show you where a bunch of man made space junk is floating above your head.

While I used to love this app, and have an avid sky watcher to be, it hasn’t been updated in at least a year. There had been problems getting it to calibrate. I always had to do it manually, which is fine, but difficult when you don’t know which way you are facing and don’t have any obvious points to calibrate to. Now, it is just plain stuck. It doesn’t move at all, and all I can see is Draco at due north on the horizon, no matter where I am pointing. I have written the app help people and not heard back. It is disappointing. My daughter used to love this app, which was why I paid for the upgrade, but, unless they update it soon, I would not recommend this app for anyone. It will only frustrate you.

I have collected countless books and have had a forever interest in astronomy. Having this app as long as I have, I’ve learned and retained the information I’ve looked at. The music that plays while star gazing is tranquil and beautiful. Even my sons have grown to love looking at the night sky when in the dark expanse of open land at night. My youngest was so excited when he found his favorite animal, not ever realizing there’s a constellation of the giraffe. I tell anyone who is looking for a great app to star gaze with.

Why isnt this on my watch anymore??

This app amazes me every time I use it. It is informative, exact and just plain fun to use. I use it as one of the tools for researching and planning night sky photography. Highly recommend.

It seems that it is mandatory to see the app with augmented reality on. I try to shut it off go back to the app and it automatically turns itself back on. That’s annoying, I love the app and want to give it a five star rating but the settings won’t let me because it’s not just the augmented reality. there’s a couple of other settings that no matter how many times you shut them off they go back to being on. I paid for the app I downloaded the app you give us the options to have it on or off and yet we don’t get to utilize those options it seems forced upon us. And also can you bring the gyroscope back to align the app the way you have it now doesn’t always work easily. If it’s not broken then don’t fix it. I really do love the app I think it’s amazing but if you could do those two things; I would appreciate it. Then somebody else mentioned about searching the surroundings without moving the phone that’s a fabulous idea

I've been an amateur astronomer for over 20 years now, and this is decidedly the best star chart I have ever used. The only thing I would even suggest to add, is a Planner function for each evening's night sky. In other words, an option to click an icon inside the app that shows you the top things to see tonight, maybe everything that is Magnitude 5 or brighter for the evening, to help you plan a night of observing and make sure you hit all the best sights for the evening. But this is definitely a great app, very intuitive and informative.

Love it totally a great buy...so many features. Haven’t looked back from my upgrade from the lite version- no regrets in the purchase of the full app🌟⭐️⭐️💫💥

I purchased this several months ago, and I love it, but the music no longer works. I’ve verified both in the app and in my phone settings that music is on, plus I’ve rebooted my phone. Is this a bug? If so, please fix. For people complaining the stars show when pointing the app at a floor or wall: you think the stars stop existing once they’re out of sight or below the horizon? The app is showing you the stars as if you were able to see through the planet, or just your wall. It’s not capturing the *actual* stars and labeling them. That would be a mighty powerful phone camera if it could do that. The app is a *map*, a star chart, to the skies. This is also why it needs calibration. Stop crying “Fake!”, and enjoy the app.

I have had this app for several years. I tap on it and point my phone at a star or planet I see and it tells me what I am looking at and also shows you the constellations. I even had it show me a satellite! I love it so much!!!

Good application

Can watch for hours.

This is a great app!

This app is educational and fun wich is a perfect way to teach about the planets and constellations 🌌 in all I love this apppppp

Sky map will not calibrate to the correct compass heading. I have tried manual and automatic settings, but it drifts away by at least30-degrees. Makes pinpointing a specific object difficult. Is this a new bug?

Great app!!

I have over the years had the free Version of this app and love it never had a Single problem with it. It’s always work really well. So with all the telescopes that I own I bought this and have never ever regretted it I’ve tried others but this one here seems to be the best one out that’s why I gave it five stars would love to been able to give it six. I’ve had it on a lot of phones over the years both iPhones and androids alike.
