SkySafari 7 Plus

Best astromony applicatiom

I’ve had version 5 for years. Always seemed disorganized. Finally decided to upgrade because no matter how I tried to look for the comet tsuchinshan-atlas in the database, it wouldn’t show up. Still doesn’t show up in the new version. It’s not listed anywhere and you can’t search for it with any version of its name. Needs some work for sure.

You can’t include a-once-in-80,000-year comet in the Tonight or Events section without paying more money? What a disappointment.

I bought the plus version a couple of years back. Since a recent update, the “Tonight” option in the bottom tray menu now crashes the program. It works okay on my iPhone but no longer works on my iPad. The free version Tonight option still works. This needs to be fixed. 😃

The app itself is great and I prefer it over Stellarium. I think it’s cleaner, more intuitive to use and I like the menu bar at the bottom, especially the ‘Tonight’ tab. I deducted two stars due to all the annoying upgrade spam the developers throw at you. In-app notifications, banners, random notifications and emails. Even with the paid Plus version it’s constant bombardment of upgrade spam. For this reason I will probably not renew my subscription.
