45 Positive User Reviews for SkySafari 6 Pro

My Go-to Astrophotography Planning tool…

Convenient, well organized and versatile application for the novice and advanced…

Bummed

You are saying to upgrade to 7 however I use sky wire to control my scope and you have deleted this and just do skyfi. Makes any updates unavailable to me😢

Sky Safari 6 pro

Works with my scope . On comparing with sky safari 7 pro. Sky safari 7 pro has tick marks on the eq coordinates will you be adding this function on sky safari 6 pro too ?

Great app

Love the tech easy for me to control equipment

Wonderful experience for a novice

Immediately represented the sky above me with no set up. I allowed location access and agreed let it set sky to my time and boom. Perfect match with what I see above me. Great identification information. I can twirl about and hold phone at any angle and it follows in real time. No lag or jumpiness. I am sure more advanced users can continue to have just as much fun.

Wow!

I have learned soooo much from this app! Give it as a Christmas gift to anyone in your family!! I totally luv it!! Be assured that family & friends will be impressed!! I luv it when I hear a notice that something is happening in the sky!! I always get up no matter what time & go outside to look!! Thank u for this incredible app!!

Have a great day and hope you have your wonderful weekend

I think 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹😍😍😍😍😀😀😀w

What am I doing?

I wish upon a star That I could figure where you are I am clueless

Excellent program. I depend on it daily.

This program runs my telescope, assists my viewing nights and solves problems for me. It is fantastic.

Even better than expected

I thought that this would be good. It is excellent. Easy to use, informative, great graphics. Recognizes the sky with camera with ease. If you like the universe’s night sky and have the $. Buy it. You won’t be disappointed.

Sky Safari 6

Most accessible Astronomy software I’ve used

Chart of time!

This is an excellent star chart. I would carry it with me anywhere I went.

Imaging Trsource

I use SS6Pro as my mobile planetarium to conduct Deep Space Object Imaging with my iOptron CEM25P Mount. Flawless, efficient, robust! Great product at affordable price. Thanks for offering this App!

Where is the Upgrade?

I saw an option to upgrade for a 50% discount but then when I look on my phone I no longer see the pop-up and I can’t find the option to upgrade anymore is it no longer available?

Fantastic!

Two thumbs up from a science and space nerd!

Maui Stargazing’s go to tool

I use sky safari every night while presenting deep space objects to my tour guests near the summit of Haleakala on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Wouldn’t leave home without it!

AstoundIng

While it may be expensive, this app will leave you speechless with the amount of data and its’ capabilities

PGC purchase won’t load

Love this app but my PGC in app purchase won’t load. The money going to Sky Safari didn’t seem to be a problem? I looked in the forum and other people have had the exact same problem last year. Can you guys please fix?

I use this every day

It's an awesome app. I use every day to look at the ecliptic and see the relative positions of the planets and moon. It is most helpful to plan viewing at the telescope.

Excellent resource

Such an awesome resource. Fully customizable. I use this app everyday.

SkySafari

Awesome and easy to use by this novice astronomer!!!

I use this every day

It's an awesome app. I use every day to look at the ecliptic and see the relative positions of the planets and moon. It is most helpful to plan viewing at the telescope.

Love this app

Bought this app for all the features to control a telescope lots of info available. Is pretty easy to figure out.

This app is a game changer. Love it.

I’m 57 and remember the days of manually searching for objects in my telescope. Being able to select an object and hit ‘Go To’ is just awesome.

New purchase

When purchased I thought it would appear not only on my I phone but also on my tablet?? I have upgraded twice before

In app purchases?

I purchased all four in app add ons but the Apollo lunar missions and the PGC extensions do not install? Help please!

6 Pro vs 5 Pro

I have both on my iPad Air 2. Been using 5 Pro since it was first offered, controlling Meade ETX-90, ETX-125, and 8” LX200GPS. I seldom open 6 Pro... too cumbersome.

Bug

I like to read the sky at certain times in history. Every time I get into observation, it resets to the current time - even after I disable it. Please allow me to turn that off so that I may look at the sky how I want to. Thank you.

I love it

I’m an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer and I use sky safari every day. It’s terrific and just what I need. It’s easy to use and stable.

App Suggestion

Love this app. A suggestion to make it better, could you include an iOS 14 widget that gives quick information like moon or planet rises or phases?

A lot of features, some are hard to find

I needed help from the developers to turn on AR mode: 1-enable toolbar 2-slide it sideways to find the compass 3-click compass 4-click “A/R” 5- swipe down on screen to increase contrast to see AR in screen

Best planetarium app available

I use SkySafari Pro exclusively for mount alignment and objective location for my astrophotography projects. Much simpler than using the Celestron hand controller. Love it!

The best sky chart app

Great charts, lots of information and flexibility.

Excellent tool for astrophotography

Easy to use. Has it’s flaws when used as go-to, understandable due to the complexity of algorithms that are needed for such a task, but if supervised carefully it works well. Intuitive interface easy to get along. Thumbs up!

Where's Comet Neowise 2020???

I just bought this app and I'm amazed that the new Comet Neowise is not in the database! Stellarium has it. Do I need an update???

Nice app

Well, thank you for the reply to my review! Unfortunately I’ll not be able to search for anything via ra. or dec. since I don’t have that kind of scope. Now I know the way to ask a question and get a response is through a review.

SkySafari Pro 6

Excellent. Pro 6 has amplified observing sessions. Fast preparation and reference in the field. Comprehensive and versatile. Take the time to learn it’s extensive capabilities and you are well rewarded Fun to use.

What’s not to like?

Long time Sky Safari user, decided to go to the pro version for the additional features... didn’t need it, just really really wanted it!

Pro or Amature

Amateur astronomer who loves this app. So easy to use with tons of info. Even got my niece interested in space. Must recommend

BH

Use this app all the time and is reliable. Telescope use through SkySafari app difficult with Celestron go-to scope.

Sky safari 6 pro

Absolutely beautiful! So inspiring to look, read and learn!

Fantastic app, but no Starlink satellites. :(

This is one of my favorite apps ever! It easily and reliably controls my Celestron Evolution through the telescopes wifi. Wish it would show the SpaceX Starlink satellites though. Otherwise 5/5 A+++

AR does not work. Now fixed!

App crashed every time AR is turned on. Has now been fixed! Great job by the developers

It’s simple

If you like the stars. There is nothing better in the store. Period.

This is the single best app that I have ever used! I love it.
