SkySafari 7 Plus App Reviews

Best astromony applicatiom

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.

With one of these star gazing apps, in 2024 a person can look into the night sky and exactly what they are looking at. This app makes exploring the night sky a neat experience for the kids.

Does everything you could ask for in an astronomy app including telescope control and eyepiece previews. It's also beautiful.

Love the ease of alignment of my tracker with your app ☝️👌✅🌎

The best astronomy app for serious amateurs, but needs to improve widget and general iOS functionality….

Could they color code the objects highlighted in my observing list list by object type? Or at the very least make the color different than the meridian line and zenith/altitude lables? very much an eye sore

A nice app. I own previous versions and bought this to support the developers, even though I rarely use it. But why is the Mac version still stuck on version 6? Version 7 for iOS has been out a long time., so maybe I should have waited.

I have had to “repurchase” it a couple of times after installing an iPad update. They should at least offer a much reduced price.

It would be nice to see if the stars that this app has information on, would display if there are any interesting planets that orbit it

I have been using the app through four generations of development. It is easy to use, accurate, very customizable, and works well for stargazing and telescope control.

Works well with the Celestron Wi-Fi . Even shows moon eclipse phases.

I would give more stars except I keep getting notices to buy it again the app again , again and again !

This app is fantastic to help me understand the relationship of the earth to the stars

I miss being able to forward time and see what objects were rising or where objects were the previous day/ week/ month. Haven’t found that option yet in 7 Plus. Good thing 6 is still on my phone.

Just why do we the people who purchased your app in the first place have to keep paying for every update that you put out.A lot of the other apps don’t charge for any of there updates.Just for this reason I giving you a 3 star rating.

Best of all the star gazing and Astro info apps. Very accurate and easy to use.

This is impressive, the amount of data is overwhelming.

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.

Version 8 is now Pro only for iOS for $50 (not Mac of course), so I guess they aren't interested in casual users by not offering a Plus version. I won't be upgrading. I own many previous versions, including the abandoned Mac version 6. Too bad they don't care about these other markets.
