  • Lots of great features

    As an observer of the night sky in urban/suburban settings, I really appreciate the ability to adjust the brightness of the stars that are displayed in SkyView. There's no way that I can see even 15-20% of the stars that other app display. In effect, I can't find the ones on a star map that survive the light pollution. That's just one of many great features.
  • Fun

    Super fun but be sure to take your phone cover off so it doesn’t mess with your compass
  • Great App!

    It’s fun to see something and be able to identify it. It’s also fun to show kids pictures in their books and then the real planets.
  • Fun and easy to use

    Great app and beautiful to look at and use. The one area where it lacks is location. It needs a phone signal to automatically find itself rather than simply using GPS. Probably doesn’t come up for most users very often, but I use it while flying when I have no phone signal but I am on Wi-Fi. Alternatively, being able to manually enter Lat and Long would also solve this.
  • Love it.

    I love it. I’ve always loved the stars, satellites and everything to do with space and the night sky. $2.99 is a more than fair price to pay for access to the known universe and all the information that comes with it. I also spent the .99 cents for the brightest satellites app which is a lot of fun also.
  • I love this app

    I got the light version and really enjoyed it, decided one day to spring for the paid version and I’m delighted. My sister has also used SkyView for quite a while, and my husband plans to get it, too
  • I love this app but they should add something.

    I love this app. I use it every day to figure out what I am looking at in the night sky. I was wondering if you could add the James Web telescope. I would also like to add more stars because some are not on here. Otherwise, I will report any bugs I find.

    Would love the option to find comets and other temporary celestial events. Had to look for the A3 comet trajectory on a separate website and then use SkyView to find the constellations that were near the comet. Had to use a similar process to find 2024 PT5.
