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.
+ 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.

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.

Very accurate

I use the AP quite often. I love looking at the stars and planets, and I know exactly what I am looking at with this app.

No premium, you don’t get anything for your .99c

If you don’t own are aren’t willing to purchase the premium, this is a ripoff. Wish I nkew before I paid. Can I get a refund?

Not very good that I saw an App couple years ago

I’ve had this app for years. I encourage new users to get into the settings to make the most of the app. I like to show asterisms for instance.

Awesome app
