Ok. I might not live it, but I really really like it. Whenever I question an object in the sky, it’s my go-to.

Simulation curriculum corp constantly updates this app to keep up with changes and equipment in astronomy. It’s the first app I turn to when planning a photo session and visual observing. From controlling your scope to finding a new target, this is the best app out there. Worth every penny.

No compass reticule is shown, just a little arrow that approaches the target and disappears as soon as it narrows in on the target. For polar alignment, this is utterly useless. For an app that cost $35 this is very poor.

Honestly, it would be a GREAT app if…everything that makes it unique wasn’t hidden behind a paywall! Seriously? Bought the app, then tried to use the 2 most consequential components (light pollution map, featured tonight) and both are locked behind yet another “premium” paywall. I’m so, so sick of getting taken by these greedy companies that offer a paid for PRO version, then charge yet again for the FEW things that make it unique from other FREE APPS! Totally ridiculous and just destroys all the excitement I had when I purchased it. I’m sorry, but you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

I’ve tried over a dozen different ones over the years, and SkySafari is an unqualified thumbs up. Even the basic level, which is free now, will satisfy a lot of people. NOTE: Their apps do go on sale at substantial discounts. Right now there’s Memorial Day sale with the pro version at $12.99, which is 75% off! There are subscriptions that you can buy, only you can decide if they’re worth it to you. I decided I didn’t need it, but you can decide that later. The product that you buy here is a one-time license (lifetime). Clear skies!

Unable to enter my telescope model information, so I can’t use the app

Unable to reset view back to normal status mode. Reset toggling is not visible. A simple reset button works wonders.

Buying an app then requiring a subscription for extra features on a mobile app is not what I expected from a ‘Pro’ version.

I bought a scope Wi-Fi guide called Stella some years ago. After a while, I switched to a new phone and found out that the Stella guidance program was no longer offered! I was furious. But then I did some research and found out that sky Safari took over manufacture of Stella and an even better program for guiding. I sure am glad you did.

I have had to calibrate to telescope successfully.
