Love this app!!
I've used this app for years now! No problems with the iOS 10.3.2. I have shown nearly all my friends this app. Yea its a high dollar app! But for me to be able to set my telescope up and quickly go to what I want. That's amazing!! All the children I let look at it love it. When I get my telescope on the area they go WILD!!

Leader of the pack
The cleanest most informative most useful for sky browsing astronomy app available. I have tried them all. There may be a better one if you want your hand holding more, but not if you know what a sidereal day is.
Go sky watch is great!
I use this app all the time and love how it’s so easy. I’m always getting asked about it by others around watching me blurt out planet locations like I’m smart or something.
Best simple star gazing app ever!
It must be over 8 years since I downloaded this app, and this is still my favourite. I love the way the constellations are overlaid over the stars, and the info I can pull up is great.

Needs a legend to explain what some of the info means
Great app very educational
Really enjoyed learning astronomy
Enhance Your Night Sky Experiences
Having been fascinated with night sky observations forever, I find this the perfect companion app. If your interest is mythology and constellations, they’ve included a link to background info on each. Star magnitude, clusters, planets are all a setting and finger click away to enhance your night sky experience. Love this app!!

Almost perfect
This has great depth of information and the live tracking is simply amazing. The only flaw I’ve found is that it’s very modal. Once it’s tracking, it will no longer “go to” an object. It will only put arrows around it.
This App really turned me on to astronomy.
I love it. I play with the controls all the time, spin it through time, watch the constellations circle with the seasons and time of day, follow the Milky Way, learn a lot about the motions of the sky and Earth. And of course all that info about celestial bodies. Amazing filtering and modes. It's just fascinating and well worth the upgrade to track comets.
Has a red light mode, but kinda impractical unless the whole device is in night mode using Apple accessibility dimming. Not practical in a Dark Sky park where only red lights are allowed after dark.
I hold this up to the sky outside at home, and I'm fine. I wish the center ID hotspot was MOVEABLE -- that would be a huge UX improvement. I strain to rotate an ipad with screen rotation on trying to train things into the center for the audio and visual identification.
I wish the user view was more configurable so I can rest this on a table as if I were looking up at the sky.
And better saved settings.
Love it.

Educational
A great app where I couldn’t understand much where to locate the stars until this came along. It’s so much fun to learn the visual way in a third dimension view! The hardest to find was a dim North Star, now I know where it is! Go for the stars!
