Live Sky is an Astronomy app for the Star Gazer who wants to quickly look up the live coordinates (Right Ascension, Declination, Altitude and Azimuth) for planets in our Solar system, the Moon, the Sun, 110 Brightest Stars in the sky and 110 Deep Sky Objects (Messier Objects).
Easily tell which the bodies that are currently above the horizon (the ones with the green icon), or learn more information about the body by clicking on it.
You can add the bodies you most frequently observe to your favorites for easier access, and enable the Today Widget that shows you a daily summary of the Night Sky.
Please leave suggestions for features you would like to see in the comments.
Coming soon:
- Locate the object in the sky by pointing your phone at it
- Integration with a Weather service to give you viewing conditions

Live Sky FAQ
Is Live Sky free?
Yes, Live Sky is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Live Sky legit?
🤔 The Live Sky app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
This app gives incorrect information about the positions of heavenly bodies. For example, it currently says that Saturn is below the horizon. I can assure you that it isn't. The app either gets my location wrong or doesn't know what time it is.
What is LiveSky?
LiveSky sends 100% of information of the moon & the planets, but not the sun. LiveSky shows me space objects and when they are above the horizon. I love it!!!!
Timing is off
App shows my location correctly, but has the position of all objects incorrect. Appears to be 6 to 7 hours off.
Fantastic app!
This is one of those handy go to apps that you use 1 million times and you don’t know what you did without it!
App is so reasonably priced, you don’t mind paying the mere pittance of the in-app purchase to remove the ads. Fantastic app!
Looks useful if it was correct
I'm looking at the sky. Venus is just about to set, the moon and Saturn are in West, and Jupiter is high. The app says that none of them have risen yet. No idea what's wrong. The location is correct, and I don't see anything about setting the date/time. It's too bad, because it seems like a really useful app.
Disappointed
I was expecting to see a “map” of the sky. I didn’t get that, I got a description of where it it and that it’s above the skyline. Sooty, not happy with this.
Wrong about planets above horizon
Either the app does not know where I am or it does not know the season. It tells me Jupiter is below the horizon when it has been up for several hours.( verified by other apps)
Good
Really good 😌 app
Needs work
Tried lookin up Mars, and it said it was at 90x25d (az/alt) when observationally it was more at 170x75d
