SkySafari makes stargazing a simple pleasure. It has the largest database of any astronomy app, includes every solar system object ever discovered, offers unparalleled accuracy, advanced planning and logging tools, flawless telescope control, and provides the very best experience under the stars when you depend on it. Don’t postpone joy. Discover why SkySafari is the #1 recommended astronomy app for serious amateur astronomers since 2009.
Here's what’s new in version 7:
+ Complete support for iOS 16 and iPhone 14. Version 7 brings a new and immersive stargazing experience.
+ Events Finder - go to the new Events section to unlock a powerful search engine that finds astronomical events visible tonight and far into the future. The finder dynamically generates a listing of moon phases, eclipses, planetary moon events, meteor showers and planetary phenomenon such as conjunctions, elongations and oppositions.
+ Notifications - the notifications section has been completely revamped to allow you to customize and manage which events trigger an alert notification on your device.
+ Telescope Support - telescope control is at the heart of SkySafari. Version 7 takes a giant leap forward by supporting ASCOM Alpaca and INDI. These next generation control protocols allow you to effortlessly connect to hundreds of compatible astronomical devices.
Stargazing is often done on your own but looking up at the stars reminds us that we are all part of a larger interconnected universe. SkySafari 7 brings social stargazing to mobile devices with two new features to help you connect with other like minded people.
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.
SkyCast - allows you to guide a friend or group around the night sky through their own copy of SkySafari. After initiating SkyCast, you can generate a link and conveniently share it with other SkySafari users via text message, apps or social media accounts.
+ 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, events and the best positioned deep sky and solar system objects.
+ Improved Observation Tools - SkySafari is the perfect tool to help you plan, record and organize your observations. New workflows make it easier to add, search, filter and sort data.
+ Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets keep your favorite astro information at your fingertips.
The Small Touches:
+ You can now edit the Jupiter GRS Longitude Value in the Settings.
+ Better Moon Age calculation.
+ New grid & reference options allow you to display Solstice and Equinox markers, Orbit + Node markers for all solar system objects, and tick marks and labels for the Ecliptic, Meridian, and Equator reference lines.
+ Previous In-app Purchases are Now Free - this includes the H-R diagram, 3D Galaxy view, and the PGC galaxy and GAIA star catalogs. Enjoy.
+ Many more.

It’s hard to put into words how much I dislike version 7 compared to version 6. The interface was far simpler in 6, and I rarely use version 7 because of this problem. Items that were easy to do and find in version 6 are multi step now, or, in some cases, I can’t even figure out how to do. I guess they wanted it to look different justify buying the new version, but this is a serious step backwards. I give it a try once in a while because I have it, but two minutes using it and I’m frustrated and annoyed. Once 6 no longer functions, I’ll be done with sky safari because v7 is too irritating to use.
pro vs plus
i bought plus first but there was also a deal on pro 2 days later. Disapointed because i pay for the plus version which will be unuseful because i paid for the pro version.
Bought this for 24.99 Canadian
Then they’re asking for another monthly or yearly subscription to premium content. How do I get a refund?
Ok, but issues installing free databases
Ok but no real improvement over Version 6. Also had issues that the FREE databases (PGC, GAIA and Lunar Apollo Missions) start to download after completing the free purchase…but never complete the download and stop at 27%, 0.1% and 7% respectively, even after trying by uninstalling app and restoring purchases….these downloaded in Version 6 without issue…maybe because they are now ”free”? Somewhat disappointing since I bought Version 7 for the free databases included!
Dissapointed that the update to version 7.1.9 introduced a bug where the app crashes when the Telecope button is selected to CONNECT to the telescope. No button appears and the app simply crashes. I wish I could go back to version 7.1.8 where the app worked perfectly.!!
Wiped out all my data - but . . .
OK, I reviewed this product initially in a fit of pique. There was a weird glitch that clobbered all of my observing lists and equipment entries. Simulation Curriculum have been working hard to figure this out and restore my data. Support has been first rate thus far. Looks like they’re going to recover my data and sort out the bug.
Update - most of my data are back! The support folks have been working hard to get this addressed. I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of support.

SkySafari Pro
The finest astronomy app on the Internet, to the best of my knowledge. Planetary rotations in our solar system occur in real time, and the background information that is available on stars is extensive and excellent.
There is a cost associated with this app, but definitely worthwhile. Updated versions that I have purchased in the past have been available at a discounted price over the initial purchase.
Keep looking up. Clear skies!
Time panel a minefield, poor equipment selection
The time set panel is improved but remains impaired by the Fast Forward buttons. Who uses these? Mostly they just send carefully set times flying off into the future or the past if they are accidentally touched. Also, the choice of hours/days/years etc is buggy - seems to reset from hours to days or years on its own. Tho there is a lot of equipment listed, it has not been intelligently chosen e.g. ZWO cameras are very popular, but are not listed by model. Hyperstar is not listed .
Going Backwards
Used to be my go-to app. Today I deleted v7 from my iPad because it’s just terrible. Hopefully v6 hasn’t been crippled by installing v7.
I’m using Stellarium instead.
Used to good but it’s just crap now. They should fire the lead developer. I can’t believe how useless this app has become.
Nice app but abysmal support
I can’t recommend this app because the developers regularly disable features when they “Update” the app and you only find out when you buy the upgrade. In my case they cut support for SkyWire (an accessory that they used to sell) in version 7. Interestingly Simulation Curriculum also makes a desktop program called Starry Night and they did the same thing with the upgrade to version 8 - crippled a feature that was essential to astrophotographers. They don’t fix these down-graded features so you never know when an “upgrade” will cripple some feature that you rely upon. Too stressful, not to mention expensive, when you have to roll back to your pre-upgrade version to keep features you need. My advice is just to stay away from their products.
