Best space app
this app is very interesting, it tells me when an object appears and it shows every kind of star, planet, zodiac ,etc. this is a very educational way to see everything in space. which is why this app should be the best space app out of all the other space apps.Keep up the good work on sky view. I would also like to talk abot the satelites app. it is very nice to look at all the satelites in space, i would like to ask if you could add a "All Satelites" button so it would be easier to see all of it then clicking each type of statelite. But still Keep up the good work guys!
All you need to explore the sky
Very well put together, the app lets you explore and learn about what is above us at our own pace.
Great astronomy application
This is probably one of the best tool to educate on astronomy. The updated version loads faster too. Highly recommended.

Very Accurate
fast, accurate, fun
Fantastic 24-Hour Access to Your Sky with info/graphics
I wish we had this app when I first started out in Astronomy some four decades ago, when we were holding up transparent sky maps to the sky, and even cardboard maps with "holes" punched into them. This app is terrific for any budding astronomer, especially if you are just armed with a binoculars or a small 4 inch Dobsonian telescope. You can even view the sky on the other side of the globe (through the ground, so to speak), and terrific graphics plot all the information you need. There may be some minor inconveniences, when you want to bring the iPhone down towards you and the "sky map" changes, because it's motion sensitive and you can't freeze it. Maybe I haven't found out that yet! But using it is great fun and saves you the hassle of knowing what's the azimuth etc. to locate any constellation or stellar object, including satellites!
Best space viewing app!
Simply brilliant and awesome!
Skyview
It's excellent and very accurate, very amazing .
The app worth to try
Awesome
Wrong positions :(
The app claims that the moon in below me when it is at 3am. Calibration does not work too well either. But it's still a fun app for the visual aspect nonetheless :)
