SkyView®

I've been a long time supporter of this app. Purchased possibly ovr a decade ago and enjoyed using it up to this point... where my enjoyment ends is upon realising they have removed features that were already built into the paid version and putting them behind a paywall add-on. The description stating you can view satallites was accurate before but no longer. That is now an additional payment that is not included with the app. Misleading and theft when many of us already paid for that feature. Save your money and find an online starchart

What I love about this app is how you can point your phone at any location and see where a star or a planet or anything will end up in X amount of minutes. I also love how you can use your camera to make sure your calibrated well enough. This app is cool and it is good for viewing all sorts of things but it already costs money and it has a second satellite purchase thing and it could be a hassle for some people so maybe include the satellite purchase with this or lower the price on either one. Second, try adding the James Webb Telescope to this app because you have Hubble and the ISS on here. I saw another guy complain about this too. Other than these it’s a great app and it’s great for viewing the night sky. Suggestions: -Maybe add a constellation checklist to keep you looking at the night sky. -Improve the UI a bit and add IPhone widgets. -Add a checklist for all kinds of things to spy on.

I’ve had this all on my phone for years and years. I am always amazed when I find myself exploring inside the app and it’s awesome to see others in awe when I’m able to identify and track a specific visible body in the sky. Very comprehensive descriptions and visual representations of the map of the sky—what is seen and not seen as you look up. Packed with features like Augmented Reality mode, nighttime lighting filters, orbit tracing, supplemental soundscapes, floating constellations, and much more. The app does not use or store any data from the user. Simply a must-have app!

I loved the SkyView Lite app. I have been using it for many years, and I decided that I should purchase the full product to show my appreciation. After installation, all satellite data is gone - zero, none. It used to show the ISS. I futzed around. There is no way to restore purchases - only an option to purchase the SkyView Satellite Guide. Ok, I'll pay a little more to get the additional satellite data. However, satellites still do not show int he SkyView app. Hence my 1 star rating. I will leave it there until the publisher provides a solution. --timdier

This app is awesome! I love walking around my living room looking for constellations! My favorite that I found is Orion. And SkyView gives you endless facts on every single star that you see through the screen. Sometimes when I’m bored, I’ll start wondering around the house, with an iPad in hand, looking at planets and stars. It’s endless, all the imagination and creativity put into this single app, SkyView.

Edit: my case was the problem all along. Seems silly that I have to take my case off to use the app all of a sudden, but at least it works! I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling several times. I’ve restarted my phone. I’ve played with the calibration. The app just refuses to work. I’ve had this app forever and it’s always been one of my favorites. My kids and I love finding the planets. Please fix this app so I can update my review!
