SkySafari 5 Pro App Reviews

This app is very helpful and the improvements to the display equipment are terrific.

Have been using this app for several years now and it continues to grow and evolve. The support service is the best in the industry. I have all the major astronomy apps and this is the only one I use at the telescope and in my astronomical arm chair!

Ive been using SkySafari for several years now, and its still my favorite sky simulator with its excellent graphics, accurate sky data, prompt support, and exceptional user experience. Highly recommended.

Hands down, this is the best astronomy/planetarium app out there. I use it all the time on my iPad. An incredible wealth of knowledge. I use it everyday. Only wish there was a PC version as well.

My last review stated that my telescope equipment, eyepieces, etc had gone missing from the equipment display screen. However, only the settings had actually been changed with the latest update. This app is still the best astronomy app.

Im amazed at what this app will do! I use it with my Evolution scopes and the StarSense and it does great. Great app.

Outstanding! Use all the time. Provides capability to steer your telescope via wireless connection too. Support forum on line is the best Ive had for any software ever!

Just an extraordinary program ! Hard to believe that so much material and capability can exist in one app.

Ive become addicted to this app. I rely on it to control my mount and to accurately do go-tos all night. I dont think I wouldve made it through the Herschel 400 list without it. Love, love, love it.

Ive used several apps and this is by far the best. I only wish there were better more complete usage instructions.

Sky Safari Pro does everything I want it to do and does it well. Stable and does not crash. Lots of functionality and well worth the cost.

I use the app while observing with my Meade LX-200, particularly when I have guests. Im not a professional astronomer but I cannot get enough of the cosmos! This app enhances the observational experience and educates as well.

Just got this update and within a few hours it alerted me of an iridium satellite flare. I stepped outside and it was exactly where it said it would appear! Looking forward to using this with my Atlas EQ-G mount.

Concise, accurate, intuitive, all things it needs to be for an amateur astronomer.

Great app. So glad I found you. I like being able to explore the sky at different times in history. Thank you for this

I love this app as it is so easy to use when outside at night to find objects in the sky. I have tried to use planispheres and books for over 30 years with much frustrated effort. But because the detailed objects on this app are so accurate and the directional use of the app is so accurate I find things constantly and easily which Ive tried to find for years! It is a joy to use, it is beautiful and it is accurate. Definitely buy it.

Just love it. Easy to use. Intuitive. Beautiful graphics. The time-fast-forward button helped me preplan my Perseid meteor shower photo setup.

I would love to give a good review but this app is becoming more and more frustrating the more I use it. I am trying to study a time period in the past and very often as soon as I get the date set correctly and start looking it resets itself to current time. I then spend time setting it back up and as soon as I start looking at it it resets to current time again. There is no ability to save a given time/ location that you have selected as a short cut to return to, so each time I need to painstakingly reset the time over and over and over again. Very frustrating.

Been using their software for over 6 yrs. What an addition! Controls my Meade 10" GPS perfectly.

Add an identification pointer. A way that you can point your phone at any object in and identifies it for you Add the planet nine, the newly discovered planet. Add quasars Add black holes Add more music Add 3-D layers of the planets Add new discovered objects. (More planets, and other new discoveries) Add 3-d touch capability Add VR capability Add camera mode so you can see what you are pointing at in the sky Add short video clips of the most famous objects under the description. Make is so you can come to the surface of the planets and moons to see the mountains, craters, and land in 3-D Add the Kuiper belt Make it so we can actually see and orbit other galaxies and nebulae Add the Huge LQG Add galaxy clusters and filaments (3-D) Add 3-D star clusters Add landmarks on Jupiter (the Great Red Spot). And other storms, also on the rest of the gas giants Update earth. Its very blurry and hard to see Update the filters. They are very blurry and hard to see things. PLEASE MAKE IT SE WE CAN TAP ON THE OBJECTS THAT APPERE WITH THE FILTERS AND GET INFO ON THEM. Make 3-D nebulae Fix the bug were when in orbit, the Stars appear to be large squares, and when orbiting earth, there are a bunch of blue lines covering the screen Add the satellites that orbit other planets. MORE IDEAS COMING!!!!!!
