  • Sky Safari plus down

    Sadly after a few updates on my ios my sky safari plus no longer works I am now left with a blank screen.!!!
  • 2 years and still waiting for fixes

    Been over 2 years and still waiting for UI fixes; 1. hide menu to conserve space. 2 Tiny fonts on Large font setting. 3 Audio icon hard to activate. So uninstalling Ver 7 and going back to Version 6. Version 7 a TOTAL FAILURE and a waste of money to upgrade!

    Hi, give it a few days to adjust to the new UI, the help files provide lots of tips. The Toolbar is more minimalistic now to create a more immersive experience. All the functions are still available. For example, double tap or tap-and-hold a selected object to bring up the Selection menu. Long-press anywhere on the screen to centre the selected object (must be toggled on in Settings-Appearance & Behavior). Or access night vision, help, settings etc from the Menu button in the toolbar. Please reach out, happy to give you a tour: https://support.simulationcurriculum.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/201239587-SkySafari-7-User-Support
  • Bait and Switch

    I paid $10 for the premium app now they’ve made the app free, and hidden the premium content behind a subscription paywall. I wouldn’t trust this developer.
  • SkySafari 7. Plus

    After trying it for 10 minutes it is not working on my IPAD Pro. I cannot find any way to get a refund I would not recommend this app. There are better apps that are free and works better.
  • Planets

    It would be nice to see if the stars that this app has information on, would display if there are any interesting planets that orbit it

    Hi, that is a great suggestion. We are looking into it! Regards.

    Can’t even see comets unless you upgrade! What a bunch of crap. Can get the same setup from any other cheaper app

    Developer Response

    Hi Paul, that is not true. Comets are visible in both version 6 and 7. There is nothing else needed to purchase. You can find the comets using the Search feature or under Search-Bright Comets. Ensure comets are toggled on by going to Settings-Solar System-Comets. Any questions, please reach out.
  • It worked great until yesterday

    I use this app all the time to plan my observing sessions. Now when you click on “Observing List” the app immediately crashes. I think they are working to fix this.

    It’s a complete disaster because the Observing Lists are key to my planning. I have lists of Nebulas, Galaxies, things I want to photograph, etc. and now I can’t access them at all.

    It’s almost enough to make me want to switch to another app. Hopefully they will fix this soon.

    Hi, we issued an update the next day to correct this issue which came up as the result of a coinciding iOS update. Thank you again.
  • Cumbersome

    Not worth the money
  • Tricked into buying this!

    There was a notification on SkyPortal ( which runs my Celestron Evolution 8) to upgrade. I thought I was buying a pro version of that. Why else would there be a notification on that app to go pro? Paid for this app it won’t even run my scope it’s complete garbage. And a ripoff!!!
  • Lost key functionality to try to get subscription $

    Don’t buy this version if you are interested in a simple, effective interface to visualize the night sky. In an apparent effort to emphasize social interaction between users and to push subscription revenue, this version ended up making the simple things much more difficult.
