Melimel8510's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 9/6/18 10:00 AMI 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.

Woooooooooooooowwwww's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 9/13/18 2:58 PMI 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!

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!

J.R.G.R.H.'s Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 6/26/18 12:24 PMSo, 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 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

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.

nwruss1's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 5/13/18 7:50 AMThis 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.

YanceMaster's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 3/31/18 2:13 PMThe 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.

Reviewed on 3/10/18 8:38 PM5 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.
Chooseyty's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 2/24/18 3:22 PMI’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!! :)

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.

ari_1965's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 10/22/18 12:34 PMI 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!"

Reviewed on 10/19/17 12:45 AMOne 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.

Flyngsnow's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 10/16/17 4:08 AMI'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.
jkhoch's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 10/16/17 10:43 AMWhile 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.
Kbkeri's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 10/15/18 3:10 AMI 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.

Rushing spirit's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 10/14/18 10:29 PMIt 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
Johnnierr's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 10/13/17 4:11 PMI'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.

Lucrezia's Delight's Review of Skyview
Reviewed on 10/1/18 4:41 AMI 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.
