User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★Best out there
SkySafari is by far the best planetarium software out there, at a reasonable price. There are professional programs, but they cost hundreds of dollars. For serious observers SkySafari does it all, and is affordable.
★★★★☆Great BUT needs feature
I use this app all the time but found one issue. When looking at the entire sky mag limit is set to something reasonable like 7, but once you zoom in, ie: telescope fov, the mag limit SHOULD change to the selected telescope. I observe variable stars and when I move to a variable its really difficult to identify the variable when I zoom in because most of the stars are missing. If I change the star magnitude limit, when I zoom out again the sky is filled with stars. Magnitude limit should be set
★★★★★Great app
Great easy to use software- similar but more advanced that the free celestron sky portal. Well worth the upgrade price as there are a lot more objects in this version plus lots of other nice features like telescope fov circles. I also love how the program can be used to easily record objects which you observe. I have the android version as well. I think this is by far the best planetarium software available- it is so easy to use and has so much information right at your finger tips. I highly rec
★★★★★Indispensable
This is the Must Have accessory for all the observers I know. Extremely capable, very easy to use. The Standard.
★★★★★The Best?
I think this app now the best and fastest for what I need. I never thought I was going to turn away from my previous app - but, I did.
