SkySafari 6 Plus App Reviews

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.

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 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

This is the Must Have accessory for all the observers I know. Extremely capable, very easy to use. The Standard.

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.

Still new to this, but I'm finding lots of useful features.

I use this all the time for Astro photos. Haven’t even used all the features yet.

I don’t know what’s the issue but I’ve been unable to import observation lists on both my iPhone and iPad. The name of the observation list is created but no actual observations are imported.

Spend the money and don’t waste your time on any of the other apps. This is by far the one to get.

Absolutely beautiful! The best astronomy app I have used. Highly recommended it. A most have for anyone that loves astronomy and science!

Best sky software ever. It even lets you put the names of the Messier objects in the sky chart. Super cool

A beautiful app; for those who love astronomy, this is a most have app. Very detailed and rasy to use. Highly recommend it. Enjoy !

Only praise for this version. One question: purchased HR diagram display and can’t find it.

Stop nagging users for reviews. Stop sending me ads for new updates.

Best astronomy app on planet earth. But my app has developed the jitters in compass mode on iphone XR. The screen shakes and the text goes on and off. Maybe a bug. I’ve reset phone, no fix. Help!!! The best app ever!!

Love this APP Tracking stars, comets and planets. Follow SpaceX and the ISS, track Hubble... Learn something new every time you log in. Great Virtual App’s as well.

Search & align always nearly 40 degrees off, but good on any fixed stars - not sure what the issue is. Date & time of night seemed O.K.

Great app! Educational and informative. Very accurate. Highly recommend it. It is truly beautiful!!!!

Equipment is entered under “Observe”, not “Settings”. Have not found a way to import SS5 Settings/Equipment yet.

I like the app but had a hard time getting it to control the telescope. Finally I was able to connect via the app the came with the telescope and then this app finally started to work.

Awesome amateur astronomers app! They've thought of everything!

Best app on the market. The information is nearly limitless and can be utilized by novice casual observer to astrophysicist.

This app is truly amazing! Can’t wait to use it with telescope via Bluetooth!

Incredible software with lots of options and features. Easy to use and provides me with quick access to astronomical events on my IPhone X. A word to the developer’s, Keep up the good work!!!

This software is so intuitive and useful, I stared using many features minutes after downloading. Selection and navigation is quick and smooth. You get a lot for the tiny price!

I love the app, it’s my go-to reference :) I use it as an aid both for visual and astrophotography.

I am still figuring out how to get the best out of it, but this app is worth the cost. VERY nice for traveling to new latitudes. Looking forward to using this app to do visual exploring of Southern Hemisphere stars.

If your into the night sky or Astronomyy at all this app is a must have.

I use this app almost daily on both my old iPad and newer iPhone 6s. It's very useful as both a learning tool and a navigation tool to use while observing.

Whether you are planning an observing session, star-hopping to a dim and obscure planetary nebula, or simply learning more about astronomy, SkySafari is the amateur astromer’s ultimate companion.

I love this app. I was looking for an app that would simulate how the planets would look, particularly the size of them using the different optic equipment combinations for my telescope. This app has not disappointed and is now my go to app.

This continues to be one of the most useful tools I have for amateur astronomy!

Best app for any money, glad I purchased it!

Can’t say enough about this incredible product! Extremely impressed.

I have been using SkySafari for almost four years now and recently added an AVX to my inventory. Using SkySafari’s scope control has taken my hobby to the next level. Can’t say enough good about it!

This version crashes when AR is selected! Fix this and you get the extra star I’d also like to see an easier way to add an object to the observing list.

Great astronomy application. Easy to use and search for objects.

This app is not just fun but a need for computer assisted astronomy

No real information on usage. No usable manual. It's pretty much learn by hit an miss until one day learn it.
