Missing feature

I used to really like this app, but for some reason when I point the phone at the sky the direction is not updating anymore. No matter where I point the phone it keeps pointing at North in the app (I’m using it in augmented reality-mode). This, obviously, makes the app unusable. I’ve been looking for a setting on this, but haven’t any. Hopefully this can be fixed. I’m using an iPhone 14 Pro, btw.

inaccurate

Nice little program- on toy basics. Its too inaccurate, feels like its an hour or two behind.

Love it

My class is using it totally and im using it in my Home

+/-

+: Quite accurate and very easy to use. Rich in information. Superb in that term. -: The reason I will favorite something is to able to see them in the sky view and not have to constantly go back & forth on the favorites menu. Please add an option to enable showing all my favorites in sky view with maybe a different color/icon.

NEOWISE nowhere to be found..

Been using this app for some years, but with time realised, that current features on the sky are not always updated. Great disappointment to find that it couldn’t find the marvellous comet Neowise on the sky... a missed opportunity to market an otherwise pretty good app...😟

Cool app

Det er en fed og cool app og jo mere leg lærer den at kende jo større bliver min begejstring ,et must for enhver udendørs person som er bare lidt videnbegærlig om det store univers vi er et lille spot i.

The Best.

Great app.

Super.

Works everywhere.

In need of improvement

Possibly a nice, yet somewhat simplistic star-viewer. However, since it would appear that the only method for navigating around the sky is by accelerometer (i.e. contorting yourself to make the screen point in the actual direction you want to look at), the whole thing is purely useful if you are outside and you only ever want to compare the stars on the screen with those in the actual sky. As for sitting indoors and exploring stars and planets that happen to interest you, it very quickly becomes tiresome, having to point your device in whatever direction your object of interest happen to be. Also, being used to most such apps supporting dragging and zooming the view with your fingers, it is frustrating that nothing happens when you try to do the same here. Such a simple feature, really no sensical reason not to include it? For this glaring omission I deduct two stars (from what would have been a rather generous four-star rating. A five-star rating would certainly require a lot more features and functionality than merely adding touch-support).

SkyView is just great.

Lot's of fun and education too
