    I use the app mostly to find out what I’m seeing in the night sky. Is that Jupiter? Saturn? Mars? Turn the app on, point it at the object in the sky, and the app shows the object’s name.

  • Night time companion

    SkyView has been my night companion for many years. In addition to helping identify celestial objects, it’s also helped me to validate archeoastronomy sites throughout Arizona. Set the calendar, line it up with the rock art, mark the solstice and equinox sunrises and sunsets. With two toddler grand children, SkyView has proved another purpose. Our backyard hammock is now a spaceship. The kids live traveling to the planets and stars with SkyView navigating the way.
  • Best app ever!

    I have had this app for many many many years (probably close to 13 years) and I have shared it with so many of my friends and family. It’s amazing! I’d give it ten stars if I could. Recently upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro Max from an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Tonight is the full moon…so I pulled up the app to identify the current stars around the moon. To my dismay the display was stuck on Draco. Deleted…reinstalled… no better. Then I saw the instruction to remove any cases which could cause magnetic interferences. BINGO! That was the problem. I’m back in business. Thank you for a great app! I was devastated for those ten long minutes I was without it.
  • Stop telling me to turn on location services

    Please stop telling me I have location services disabled when I have my location set to manual. I know it's disabled; I did that on purpose.

    I love the app but the calibration is not always exact.

    I am very excited, looking at the reality of what is now considered planet in the sky. I must admit the fact that I am very new to this app and don’t actually know how to navigate it yet. I am still wondering if we can actually photograph those planets and other objects that are visible in the sky by this app? Thanks to the scientific world that proved to us that our home planet is also in space as the other planets do. I hope to learn more about this app and its many functions in time to come, great job. I love it.
  • Nice…..but lacking

    This has been one of the apps that I started using in my astrophotography pursuits. And it is OK but where it falls down is the catalogues for DSO objects. It is limited on what it shows compared to several other similar apps that have access to more extensive catalogues. I frequently now find myself using the other apps to find other targets to pursue.
  • Amazing app!!!

    As a shelter manager for Red Cross... nights can be very lonely and boring, especially for children who are displaced... so I've been using SkyView to entertain children and adults alike at night time by safely inviting people to go outside and experience the application with the Sky... thank you for all you do!!!
