Description

SkySafari is a powerful planetarium that fits in your pocket, puts the universe at your fingertips, and is incredibly easy to use!

Simply hold your device to the sky and quickly locate planets, constellations, satellites, and millions of stars and deep sky objects. Use Augmented Reality (AR) mode to blend a simulated sky chart with a real view of your surroundings. Or toggle on OneSky to see what other observers are looking at right now.

Packed with interactive information and rich graphics, discover why SkySafari is your perfect stargazing companion under the night sky.


Here's what's new in version 7:

+ Complete support for iOS 17 and iPhone 15. Version 7 brings a new and immersive stargazing experience.

+ OneSky - allows you to see what other users are observing, in real time. This feature highlights objects in the sky chart and indicates with a number how many users are observing a particular object.

+ Sky Tonight - jump to the new Tonight section to see what’s visible in your sky tonight. Expanded information has been designed to help plan your night and includes Moon & Sun info, calendar curations, and the best positioned deep sky and solar system objects.

+ Orbit Mode - Lift off from the Earth and travel to the planets, moons and stars.

+ Guided Audio Tours - Listen to more than four hours of audio narration to learn the history, mythology, and science of the heavens.

+ Galaxy View - Visualize the 3-D location of stars and deep sky objects in our Galaxy the Milky Way.

+ Pronounce - “Yoor-a- nus”, not “Your-anus”? The pronunciation guide in SkySafari will help you learn how to correctly pronounce the names of hundreds of celestial objects from different categories such as stars, constellations and planets.

Doesn’t reset to the sky

Shantsharm on

Just shows a fixed view of the sky which does not allow the user to align the camera. Even if the feature is there, it is not readily accessible at the end. The user does not know what he’s doing.

The best app for amateur astronomers.

flossy_malik on

This is the best thing ever made to help out amateur astronomers and casual observers alike for finding objects in the night sky. The interface is good and the database is pretty vast. Plus you get some interesting information for every object within the app itself.

Kudos

Kudos to the developer of this app

"I love it" is an understatement

Yashj174 on

Sky Safari is simply one of the best friggin' apps on my phone. As an amateur stargazer, I love how well this app gives me loaded information on stars and satellites. I particularly love tracking the ISS on this app and flaunt it to my peers when it flies by in the night sky. The only issue, however, that I've very recently started facing is that the compass view is now shaky/vibrating. I've un/re-installed the app to no avail. Is this a known issue?

Amazing!!!

Nanio DaLoco on

Amazing is the word to describe the app. Perfect and brilliant. So much better than other free apps. The landscape feature to get a realistic sense of the night sky is so well done. I applaud the accuracy (the exact device location and altitude) taken into account regardless of the location. The time-lapse of the sky is another amazing feature which even computes the upcoming night-sky. So contended with the app. Well done. Someday when I get a good stargazer I shall purchase the pro version.
