SkySafari 7 Pro App Reviews

It’s crashing when I click on tonight

There’s really just one essential app for astronomy. SkySafari 7 Pro is the full-featured version that lets you control your mount, drill down through data, log your observations, and much much more.

I use this program for all the special events that I become aware of. I have used it for some photography, especially for determining the position and time of the Milky Way and stars or planets to emphasize. I haven’t used it with a telescope because I haven’t purchased the motors to drive it position though that may be an exciting future enhancement to my viewing. Love this program, its database of stars, planets and galaxies and its ease of use!

We pay for the whole SkySafari 7 Pro package and you just release 8 and we don't get any perk!? no incentive?? No discount?? What gives?? Or rather doesn't give...

I have used this for over 5 years with the galaxy & star catloge options. I can and have connected to my SCT scopes. I only use or need about 33% of this app abilities but I have growth if I need it. It runs on a iPhone 14+ w/ios 26.3 no issues. At this time I don‘t see a reason to upgrade to SS8P.

This is by far the best app of the cosmos. I have ever used. Don’t question it, just buy it.

Does exactly what I need. One request…give the option to set how many minutes before an event the notification is sent. Too many times I’ve seen the notification and not had enough time to make it outside to see it.

I’m not going anywhere else but I’m going back to the beach with a bunch and I will have them in my house for the weekend if they are not there and I’ll let them know if I need them to come in and get them to you

This app is amazing and so cool! I have a recommendation though. Add the ability to quickly edit the form of light directly from the main screen instead of having to go all the way through the app settings. Have a quick guide like the Sky Guide and Sky Walk apps have with X-ray, gamma ray, radio, microwave, infrared, H-alpha, ultraviolet, and visible light, and allow the ability to click on various deep space objects like black holes, nebulae, etc.

I spent $50 for this app and 80% of the features are locked behind further purchases. The last app you could do basically all the same stuff. The UI is also in my opinion harder to use, and the ASCOM feature of the app is incompatible with my ASCOM compliant mount. Just won’t connect. I’ve been using ASCOM for about a year now and have been able to troubleshoot every issue I’ve had with my mount and friends. Not a bad app, just too greedy I think.

I love just about everything about this app. One improvement that needs to be addressed is the stability in the compass mode. If you have the compass mode turned on and try to zoom, it just looks like an earthquake is going on. Very shaky and unstable in that mode. The more you zoom in, the worse it gets. Please try to fix this, or if there is a way to make that stop in settings, I’d like to know.

6 version looks much better and easy to navigate. Version 7 not so much

I use this instead of Stellarium when using my iPad 12 Pro. On the PC, I prefer Stellarium or C2A.

Hello, in app downloads are not downloading, I tried many time, I even deleted and downloaded the app again, but no results.

I submitted the issue where the “changing of time” layout in IOS is overlayed by the observation list quick link. How has this not been fixed and updated? I am still unable to go back in time with the hours or minutes feature once I move forward. It’s been over 6-months?

Sky Safari Pro does many things well, but I’d like to have the ability to unselect an object.

The last update to this app and its control of WiFi telescope mounts has made this planetarium app really outstanding. Thanks for addressing virtually every concern I had with the changes from version 6 to this version 7 Pro.

None of the in-app purchased work. None download.

With this new updates will you be selling again the SkyWires for iPhone?

The app is easily used and has taught my son a lot about what’s out in space, about each planet, and the beyond. However, he did notice that in several places, Pluto is still regarded as not being a planet, although it was reclassified as such several years back. He still prefers this app for his time with his telescope, It just needs an update in information.

I use it with my Orion Goto Dob and it works great controlling my scope position just by selecting an object and tapping one button

Love the app, but it hasn’t been working lately. Whenever I try to go into it, it glitches, and won’t show anything in the sky; it’s just black with names of objects flashing in and out really fast.

The display which was in German shifted to the English I wanted when I turned off my VPN, deleted Sky Safari Pro 7, and then reinstalled it. I simple fix. I apologize for the poor rating I submitted earlier this afternoon.

However, what adjustments do I need to make so the AR MODE stays in place? The compass messes up and it’s no longer accurate when I move the phone around. Can we fix that?

Apps like this make settling into that easy chair and studying subjects long thought too lofty and unattainable. Studying the heavens with a stable of tele-photo lenses on those cold, clear winter night makes stargazing a pleasure.

Five stars are not enough. Don’t waste your time on anything else. This one does it all. These guys know what they’re doing.

I love the iOS app, I can control my telescope and enjoy the night sky. My only request, a Mac OS new version, the current is the sky safari 6

Crashes on first launch almost every time. Relaunching works. Preferred the toolbar on the bottom of the screen.

I love this app so much although there are some of language Barrier. Then please add Chinese version!

Skysafari Pro version 6 and Skysafari Pro version 7 share the same IOS APP Icon name, PLEASE change the Skysafari 7 icon to ‘Skysafari 7’ I keep Versions 6 and 6 Pro with different setups so there can be two apps of the same name.

SkySafari 7 Pro was not using my iPad’s GPS for time, date, or location. I posted the problem here, Simulations Curriculum provided a solution, and it is working perfectly now. Thanks! I am enjoying the app now!

Some of the reviews criticize the new UI. Me too until I appreciated /understood the benefits. Trust me, once you actualize the new UI you will love it.

Please add Chinese, there are many Sky Safari user at China. We like to use small telescope to take deep sky photo. Sky Safari is a good app to control our mount.

I don't like the constant reminder to upgrade to the pro version. I don't like to be reminded about something that I'm not interested in especially when I paid money for the app in the first place.

The UI changes from Sky Safari 4 pro have made it much harder for me to find things. I found the older versions much more intuitive to use. I only updated because I wanted new comets. At this point I’ll stick to the older one in preference to this version.

Each time eye open this application, it just shuts down!

The app still doesn’t provide auto-align or autoguiding support with Celestron’s StarSense autoguider after extensive updates. Even the latest version 8 of this app overlooks this often requested feature. Users of Celestron’s StarSense should steer clear.

After months of the calendar forecast being broken, the developers have released a new version of the app that they're now charging $40 for. I've already paid for the Pro versions of 6 and 7. How long does a purchase last with these guys? There's no upgrade discount either
