    I love SkyView. I say, “Hey Siri, open SkyView,” and boom I’ve got every constellation and planet on my phone with fun facts and options for trajectory. Thanks for a great and affordable app!

  • Nothing lines up

    So, I have tried automatic calibration, automatic location and nothing lines up using the moon as a point of reference. So I set my location manually, did a manual calibration so the actual moon lines up with the image in the app, okay good. Move around looking at various objects, go back to the moon and the actual moon does not line up with the app moon! So frustrating!

    I really liked the app on my iPhone 12. I just upgraded to an iphone 16 and the camera and vidro function no longer function. Help is lacking online.
  • Love it!

    Definitely worth the unlimited subscription. I enjoy learning about the different constellations and stars. Their back story. Etc.

    Ever look at the sky & wonder what that bright star in the sky is? Enjoy the idea of exploring the cosmos, on a smooth, attractive, relaxing, very informative app on your phone? Get this app!!! I have literally owned this app for years now, and still regularly use it & enjoy the experience every time. I also love sharing this app with others & they are always amazed & I often have to fight for my phone back! Like I said-I purchased this app years ago, but love it enough to be writing this “glowing” review now. I really like it & think you will too!

    I love the app I use to be able to take photos and now I can’t. I asked why but no response. Taking photos was one of my favorite thing.

    As an observer of the night sky in urban/suburban settings, I really appreciate the ability to adjust the brightness of the stars that are displayed in SkyView. There's no way that I can see even 15-20% of the stars that other app display. In effect, I can't find the ones on a star map that survive the light pollution. That's just one of many great features.
  • Fun

    Super fun but be sure to take your phone cover off so it doesn’t mess with your compass
