Observer Pro App Reviews

This app is perfectly designed to answer the question “What can I look at tonight?” Possibly the best thought out UI in any app I have.

I originally gave the app one star because dumbhead here couldn’t find the tutorial. The developer reached out to me and explained where it was. Happy camper now! Can’t wait to use it in an observing session. My apologies, Josh!

For actually viewing with a telescope, this is by far the most useful app I’ve found for the IPhone. Love this! Keep up the great work. I’d buy this two or three times if I needed to.

Awesome app for planning out observations. The custom horizon tracing feature is awesome, especially if you observe at multiple sites. One thing I would like to see is a way to filter object lists. For example, in the featured objects section you have the option to sort the list by various attributes, but there is no way to filter certain types of objects out. Lastly, there is a bug where tapping on menu items doesn’t register on the far right side of the screen. It doesn’t hinder the function o

Please update for iPad in landscape mode. Most iPad users use keyboards. Thanks for listening.

I’ve used this app for a little over a month now. It has become indispensable when planning for a night of astrophotography. I, for the most part, do not travel with my scope and keep it in one spot all the time. I have a “decent” view of the night sky. Being in an urban setting, I have to deal with buildings and trees. However, with this app, I am able to plan, minute by minute, what I want to image on any given night and even nights in the future. One thing I’d like to see added is a fea

Very useful in helping prioritize targets for areas with obstructions. Have not figured out how to prioritize targets where I am doing narrow band imaging and don’t care so much if the moon is up. Can sort on just nebula I guess but it still ranks items based amount of time they are up when the moon is not.

Excellent app for knowing when your target will be visible and the best viewing times.

Sorry this app not for me I want to delete it is there any way to get my money back??? Thank you

Great for planning. Just wish it included planets, comets, and asteroids

I concur with what other reviewers have said here. This app is super useful for planning observing sessions. It’s especially useful for those of us who are forced to observe the sky with many obstructions around - tall trees, buildings, etc. The app allows users to build site specific obstruction profiles that then show what objects are visible at what times. Each object in the database has a graph showing if it’s visible and what times it will be visible along with other observing data. Can

It shows exactly when an object comes into view and when it leaves.

Utility is wonderfully useful. I do have one bug to report. Once the iOS keyboard is up to search or type it won’t go away. Have to force close and reopen.

I have a limited view from my yard so this is incredibly helpful for planning out which objects are visible and the timing. I’ve tried a bunch of apps and methods and this is by far the best solution. Very, very well done. My only tiny request would be to add a filters. Thank you for an amazing app!
