## Sky Guide Description
Bring the beauty of the stars down to Earth. Hold Sky Guide overhead to automatically identify any star, constellation, planet or satellite! Easy to use and powerful, it’s awesome stargazing for any experience level.

Is it a star or the planet Mars? Knowing what’s up in your night sky is easier than ever. Sky Guide’s AR mode superimposes graphics onto your real sky so visualizing the heavens becomes effortless. Have you ever wished you could recognize constellations but didn’t want to fumble around with paper star charts? Now you can.

A speck of light crosses the night sky, growing brighter. What could it be? You don’t have to wonder anymore. Track a bright satellite and receive perfectly-timed notifications whenever the International Space Station is about to fly over your location.

Voyage to the past or future. Know where the Moon will be later in the evening so you can capture that perfect photo or be an eyewitness to history’s greatest comets.

Whether you’re searching for Sagittarius, Saturn, or the next big meteor shower, Sky Guide is packed with information and rich graphics that will satisfy the most curious minds. Plus, stay current with location-filtered events like solar and lunar eclipses with Sky Guide’s personalized Calendar.

Sky Guide can function with or without Wi-Fi, cellular service or GPS, so everything is at your fingertips no matter where you go.

## Sky Guide Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Awesome app"
Love this app! Been using it for many years now
-- B Cicione, 2024-12-07

### ***** "Touched By the Gods this App"
No review can explain how good this app is. Just try the free version for a while and see if you’re not amazed.
-- Kkiinng K, 2024-05-05

### ***** "Efficient, sufficient & beautiful!"
Shows all a novice want to know.
-- CasperBadenhorst, 2024-02-11

### ***** "Fun"
Best fun on camping trips
-- jygjyfhtfjghg, 2023-12-11

### ***** "PLETTENBERG Bay"
To see the sky where we live is incredible but sky guide takes it to a different level. Cxx Xcode
-- Cxxx1954, 2022-10-08

### ****- "Not orientating properly"
Even with location on and compass on, the app doesn’t find the correct compass point and therefore doesn’t show the correct night sky. Contacted the App developers and got no reply.
-- xxogf, 2022-08-17

### ****- "Widget"
The old widget was great. I really miss it. The new one looks strange and has very little information.
-- These are my app reviews, 2022-06-28

### ***-- "Brilliant! But…"
I love Sky Guide, I find it really useful to be able to point at stars and use Siri and Shortcuts to find out what I am looking at. It’s educational and fun. But Sky Guide is still using the old widget, when will the iOS 15 widget come?
-- Zim Dollar, 2022-03-24

### ***** "Really good. Slick. Non-subscription version a bit restrictive"
Best slickest sky viewing app. 

Great for identifying object & things etc.
-- Lodewykk, 2021-11-21

### ***** "A jewel"
I want to learn more about the night sky and the names of stars and the constalations built around their positions. 

Your app helps towards that, thank you. 

Do you think it is possible to build a slider in to dim between constellation images, lines and stars-only in AR-mode? That way the app will assist in learning to identify the constallation and important associated stars. 

Thank you for opening the skies to many of us.
-- epj.bikerman, 2021-11-10

### ***** "Great for knowing your stars"
I have had this app for almost two years, it works great most of the time I don’t know if it’s my phone or the app at times it’s not fully accurate. Either than that, it is very informative and has a lot of details about what is up is the sky.
-- Oh.dee.eye, 2020-09-16

### **--- "Theres no need for a subscription"
Why did the app switch to a subscription service? I already paid for the app and now i have to keep paying for something I’ve bought?
-- alltheusernamesaretaken12, 2019-11-01

### ***** "Woah"
This app is incredible.
-- Constantlm, 2019-02-18

### ***** "Fred"
Just opened a new world thank you
-- derf202, 2018-09-07

### ***** "Mr BP"
Great app must say. I really use it. Watching skies Ect.
-- Balvant Narotam Patel, 2017-05-04

### ****- "Marvelous: cosmic experience on your phone"
A combination of sheer poetic beauty and incredible detail: whenever I use this app I'm blown away. A planetarium in your pocket: how cool is that?
-- DamianDR, 2017-02-15

### ***** "Absolutely amazing"
I've been using SkyGuide for a few years now, and more and more find myself opening it up just to get a 'snap shot' of something I see in the skies... Love it
-- Gabrg3, 2016-02-24

### ***** "Amazing app!"
Love it! Can play on it for hours. It's very educational
-- Natasha's ipad, 2015-12-24

### ***** "Excellent"
Excellent
-- Thimmanah, 2015-09-27

Best star app ever!
