My Go-To sky watching astronomy app
SkyView is an essential for anyone who wants to know what that bright light in the sky might be. I have opened the app and been surprised to find a whole bunch of planets all stacked on top of each other - it called a conjunction - and it’s kind of mind blowing to see it all displayed across the sky for you to see just by holding your phone up to the sky (or down, there are stars all around us!) This is one of my must-have apps.
My go to sky gazing app
I use it to quickly find what I want, and use it in conjunction with Photo Pills.
USELESS APP! Worked for years now abandoned
Move along to something else. This app is useless and unsupported. Doesn’t work at all!
The perfect solar system partner
I came across the app while searching for an instrument to help me with my Star Gazing after getting my first real telescope. I had a beginner understanding of the course the planets took in the sky, but now I can identify where they are when behind (or underneath) the Earth. To quickly find satellites and the ISS. The outer space guide is MINE!
Buy it for a friend
I’ve enjoyed your product for many years and have told many friends about it. I was on the site and saw a link to “buy it for a friend” it got me to this page but no link to be able to send it to a friend.
Can’t use now!
Have always loved this app. But since the last update, I can’t use it at all. Says I can upload an older version but it doesn’t allow that. Please fix!
Fix the compass
Every time I do auto calibrate it goes the wrong way, and when I do manual when it come and come back to the app it goes to the wrong way again. Also when I manual calibrate it always moves on its own. Fix it or I’m suing you for scamming my money.
