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 comets, 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.

Incredibly Fun and Fascinating

Tom SouthFL on

United States

An application that makes night walks so much fun. Humbles us to think how many millions of people have looked up at the sky, and we thru this application know what constellations and heavenly bodies they were looking at by name. With the overlays of mythology… We can see what those ancient people thought when they looked at the stars and planets.

A paid app you still can’t access

Smarty0721 on

I paid $4.99 for this app and yet I am still unable to use the majority of the features unless I pay for a premium subscription?!!! What was the point of even buying this app then?? There is NOTHING that says you need a premium subscription after purchasing this! I tried “restore purchase” thinking maybe the app just offloaded, but no! Still can’t use anything! What a scam!

Didn’t enjoy

Tried once. Not as good as other apps.

Buyer Beware

Leia L on

United States

I wanted an app that would help us find the Atlas Comet. A website said this app would do that, and the app icon is a comet. We paid the $4.99 for the app and then found out we would have to pay an expensive subscription price to get comet data. Comet info is considered “Premium”. I regret paying for the app and will seek a refund.

Limited view

I can’t see below the horizon on this app. I like that because I can see what constellations are about to rise. Not sure if I can get a refund or not.

🥇sky app ever 🔥

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MASTERPIECE; ✨ thank you so much for the update ❤️

What a scam

lmb21 on

United States

Bought this because it shows their advertisement for the comet tonight C/2023 A3 but that was just a scam to get you to pay for an upgrade!!!

Confusing Versions

Nine-hole Shooter on

United States

I purchased what I think (?) was Sky Safari 7 a few years ago for around $6 (I don’t remember the exact amount). Now I’m noticing that the app is called Sky Safari Eclipse 2024. The help screens still refer to it as Sky Safari 7 though. What’s more confusing is that the help screens refer to “Plus” and “Pro” versions being available, but other screens offer access to a “Premium” version. So at this point I’m confused about (a) what version I have, (b) what version I would want, and (c) what version(s) are available. All this up-selling gets a little annoying after a while. Otherwise it’s a very good app.

This is just a paid ad to get the paid subscription

This app makes you feel like you’re getting temporary access, and you’re constantly reminded to upgrade. Not the eclipse app i paid for.
