Finally know what I am looking at

Started checking the sky a lot more just because it’s so satisfying to know what I am looking at instead of just guessing. It’s especially fun when I am outside at night and spot something I would have completely missed before.

Perfecto!

This is my GO TO when I want to learn about our skies, our space and our earth!

Delightful

Sky Guide is such a delight to use. I build iOS apps, and Sky Guide is the first app to which I turn for inspiration. It’s full of beautiful imagery, illustrations, interactions, and animations. You won’t be disappointed.
