Accuracy is slightly off
Maybe I just need to pay for premium, but it shows "good stargazing conditions" on a night covered in clouds. Good information and nice layout though.

Description
Sky Live is a great app for planning the star observations and for making gorgeous photos of the starry night sky. Lots of astronomers and night sky photographers worldwide have chosen the app to help them in planning their nights out for watching stars, planets and constellations.
All necessary info is available at once: what planets, bright stars and constellations will be above the horizon at night, what the weather is like, what the visibility score is, and much more. After setting the location you can check the stargazing index for the whole week ahead and learn the best time for the night out.
The unique index for stargazing conditions is calculated hourly and renews each time you start the app. The index depends on the following criteria:
- Weather forecast
- Light Pollution
- Visible objects
- The Moonlight
The Sky Live app works in pair with Star Walk 2 that means you can see the chosen object in the sky and check more info about its’ path through the night sky. Sky Live also has an Apple Watch extension to alert you of upcoming astronomical events and tell you what’s going on in the sky over your location at the moment, e.g. ISS flyby or bright Iridium flare.
"For stargazers, Sky Live is exactly the app we've always needed to find out just how much of the stars we can see at night and when we'll be able to see our favourite constellations and planets." by Nathan Snelgrove, AppStorm.net.
Stunning space photos combined with everything you need to know about stargazing conditions for your location tonight. Stargazer or not - this app will spark your curiosity.
The most accurate hourly conditions for stargazing are estimated on seven criteria and summarized in one Stargazing Index that will give you all the information you need to make your plans. The formula was developed by a mathematician on the Star Walk team and takes into account:
- Is there anything interesting in the sky tonight?
- Can I see Saturn?
- Is it going to be cloudy?
- Is it going to rain?
- Too much light?
- Is the Moon too bright for stargazing?
You will also get detailed reports on position and trajectory of the International Space Station, the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and other planets. The forecast is available for seven days ahead.

App not usable
Just wanted an app that described what was in the sky above: planets, stars, and it does not do that. Instead there’s all this “stuff” with dots mixed in.
No longer Accurate
Not sure what changed with the latest version of IOS but this app is no longer accurate. When cross-referenced with other similar apps or sites, info is way off. Further, if you uninstall and reinstall this app you’ll get different data for the same day. Prior to iOS 17.1.1 this worked very well.
If you want to connect with the Heavenly
If you are into the planets and want a astronomical telescope, I recommend this app.
Great app. Not so great Widgets.
It would be great to have some useful widgets from this app.
An experience of a lifetime
This is an experience of a lifetime the lord’s my shepherd guide and friend
Just why?
As a free app, this tool tells you when sunset and sunrise are, and that is all. Could not get anything else to work.
Everything Costs Money
Every useful feature costs additional money.
Great news
That was a great one
Stars
