– 148Apps Editor’s Choice

You don't need to be an astronomer to find stars or constellations in the sky, just open SkyView® Lite and let it guide you to their location and identify them. SkyView® Lite is a beautiful and intuitive stargazing app that uses your camera to precisely spot and identify celestial objects in sky, day or night. Find your favorite constellations as they fade in and out while you scan across the sky, locate the Moon, discover distant galaxies, and witness satellite fly-bys.

Features: 

• Simple: Point your device at the sky to identify galaxies, stars, constellations and satellites (including the ISS and Hubble) passing overhead at your location.
• Sightings: set reminders for celestial events and plan an evening stargazing & spotting satellites.
• Augmented Reality (AR): Use your camera to spot objects in the sky, day or night.
• Sky Paths: Follow the daily sky tracks for the Sun and Moon to see their exact locations in the sky on any date & time.
• Time Travel: Jump to the future or the past and see the sky on different dates and times.
• Social: Capture and share beautiful images with friends and family on social networks. 
• Mobile: WiFi is NOT required (does not require a data signal or GPS to function). Take it camping, boating, or even flying!
• Supports Space Navigator™ binoculars, spotting scope, and telescopes.

What a fun way to teach yourself, your children, your students, or your friends about our wonderful universe!

## SkyView® Lite Reviews in United States

### ***** "Star gazer"
Whatever else the app could be, I like it because it’s reliable, accurate, and easy to use.  I’ve used it for years, not frequently, and not to a high level . I like the search features: you can locate your planet in the sky and find info about it. Friends I’ve shown have also enjoyed the app.
-- Nissi Mo, 2025-01-22

### **--- "Significantly off"
I’ve become frustrated by this app. I point at a bright light, clearly a planet, and get nothing. Then I notice that in the bottom right of the screen… there’s a conjunction of two planets. Barely even in the same region of the sky as actually thing.
Done.
-- The Nameless Twin, 2025-01-20

### *---- "Big Dipper"
The Big Dipper was always apart of Orion‘s belt because that what everyone said and taught me that but whatever😡
-- Vander .w, 2025-01-20

### ***-- "Why I rated a 3 star"
At first I started liking it and I could see where a lot of planets, stars, constellations.. but then I noticed it doesn’t give you that much access to things so you have to buy to get more access so yeah..
-- Bobacatkpoplover, 2025-01-19

### **--- "So far off the mark"
As others have said, you look for the moon to get a bearing, and realize the app is several hand widths apart from the actual moon. It means you can’t use the app. Which is what it is for.
-- Luke 17:11, 2025-01-16

### *---- "Useless as of now"
Used for years and when working it’s a 5 star. But the camera is frozen and no matter where I point my phone it’s stays as if I’m staring straight at north. Also no support for this problem so this app has become dead weight.
-- Deanne C., 2025-01-13

### *---- "R.I.P my back"
Every time I use this app I get back pain.One morning I looked like a hunchback.I almost broke my back looking for the Big Dipper.I was looking like a bent twig.I looked like a flexible straw.My back disconnected from the internet.Please fix this >:[
-- Jacob Munoz., 2025-01-12

### **--- "Not accurate"
I had my location turned on while using this app and I was looking at the moon and when I pointed the camera at the moon it said the moon wasn’t there and instead it said the moon was right below me under my feet but I gave it 2 stars because although it’s inaccurate it’s still cool and fun to use
-- Joe mackleberro, 2025-01-11

### *---- "Not accurate with location"
This app use to be awesome but now the location is off. Please update
-- angelo ingoglia, 2025-01-09

### *---- "I find your lack of accuracy disturbing"
It’s so inaccurate it tells me the moon is in a different spot than it actually is.
-- Darth Vader677, 2025-01-05

### ****- "Amazing"
At first I didn’t believe it but I saw the moon in the place it was supposed to be and it’s cool how you can see the other side of the earth you should try ❤️
-- Ratolyey, 2025-01-04

### ***** "I feel like  I’m in space"
it is so cool. It shows you star signs you can search up star shows you the planet teaching my kid stars and planets
-- Love Block Blast!, 2025-01-03

### **--- "Where are you?"
The app is fine as long as you have some star or planet to calibrate off of.
That’s right you must calibrate this app each use or confuse a planet with some unknown star.
-- Wcs61, 2025-01-03

### ***** "great new app 4 hopefully great new year"
this app is so fun!! me and my family thought we saw venus outside but this app told us that it was actually jupiter!! i’ve always been fascinated by space but as some1 who livez in the city seeing planetz and starz is quite rare. but this app, it helpz me learn more abt space than school would ever bother 2 teach. the sightings feature is great 2! i’m hoping i can see saturn tonight!!!
-- emy! :p, 2025-01-01

### ***** "Soooooo OP"
I could not pull up my pants for a month soooo good Bye
-- The first CAT of the DOGS, 2025-01-01

### ***** "Great App"
Very nice app
-- Kany_777, 2024-12-31

### ****- "Beautiful"
Who ever made Skyview Lite is brilliant. I just got it today and love it. I have always been fascinated by the night sky, leading me to aspire to be an astronaut when I grow up. This app helps me grow my fascination by being able to name the constellations, satellites, and planets that I see. 
There is just one problem. I believe that you should make it where you don’t have to pay money to get Uranus and Neptune to show up. I think that you should be able to have the whole solar system unlocked when you first get the app. This is just a suggestion. 
Thank you again for making such a wonderful and brilliant app.
-- ⭐️Starzy⭐️, 2024-12-30

### **--- "Used to be better"
This was our favorite app for a long time to check out the sky but nothing aligns anymore. Even resetting everything, tried manual and auto calibration with no luck. Before you could point your phone directly at what you’re seeing in the sky and it perfectly lined up. Now, it’s way off and there are so many stars in the same vicinity that you can’t tell what is what. So now we’re on the hunt for another app.
-- Kinipelaaa, 2024-12-29

### ***** "One more thing"
Can you add the James Webb telescope please
-- certyyyyy, 2024-12-28

### *---- "False information"
At first I pointed to sky and the app told me I was seeing everything , I was like wow but I looked into sky myself and didn’t see it, then the bad part , as I pointed my phone towards my yard it said my flower was a space Hubble and my yard was a galaxy so with that being said oh then I came inside and all of a sudden I had the whole galaxy in my room, lol. Well this app absolutely does not work! Sorry but no good.
-- Dboettger, 2024-12-24
