I’d like to be able to use either their website, or a landscape view on this app to boost this to a 4/5. ### 4/5 — Request failed 401 error *2023-05-26* I like the concept of the app The pictures are clear I went to Antarctica to look for ancient ruins pyramid and stuff etc I saw a suspicious location potentially a craft tried to hit the save button I guess and it wouldn’t let me save it request failed 401 error Honestly that’s primarily what I would use this for scanning landscape for potential ruins or discoveries certain sections of Antarctica we’re not HD **Developer response:** Thanks so much for this feedback. The issue with saving the AOI in Antarctica is resolved but please reach out to support@skyfi.com if you have any questions! ### 4/5 — Seems easy enough to use *2023-03-09, version 1.0.4* I knew the images would be paid, but I didn’t realize they would cost a minimum of $200 and go as high as several thousand. The app is easy to use and shows all the pricing up front which is nice. Keep in mind the minimum coverage area is 25km^2 which is a bit wider than I was hoping for. The sample image of Texas is a bit underwhelming for the price. ### 1/5 — $400 for 25 km. Yay! *2023-01-24* I’d like a high resolution picture of my backyard to do landscaping. So I get 25 km2 minimum and all for the great price of $400! Yay! Also interested in a village layout in PNG, maybe some social housing patterns. Similar story. There are lots of other mapping suppliers that can give you the area you want (not what the developer wants) and the resolution. Summary- 1) too large an area for individual use 2) App cannot zoom in far enough to distinguish features that you might be interested in. 3) Nice try but needs vast improvement **Developer response:** Thank you for this thorough feedback! We are constantly working with our providers to improve our offering, so keep an eye out for updates. As far as pricing goes, Existing Images start at just $20 and have a minimum area of interest of 5 sq. km., and New Images start at $175 with the 25 sq. km. minimum you mentioned. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out at support@skyfi.com. ### 5/5 — Great app to find detailed imagery *2023-01-18* I used skyfi to get normal satellite imagery of our small farm as well as detailed imagery to help with crop health. Easy to use and way cheaper than any other option. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for this great feedback! This is a great use case! ### 5/5 — The Best! *2023-01-17* Looking forward to sharing this easy to use technology with my entire family! What an exciting app! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for this great feedback and for sharing with your family! ### 5/5 — Awesome UX *2023-01-16* For a first of its kind aggregator of multiple LEO satellites, this app is surprisingly easy to use. I figured out the UI immediately and the app makes it super easy to explore pricing based on type and size of image. I chose to place a custom task order for a future event months away and it was very straightforward. Bravo to the SkyFi team for taking something that was inaccessible to consumers and elegantly commercializing it! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this great feedback! We are so glad to hear you found the app easy to use. Keep an eye out - the best is yet to come! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — B.S. Pricing *2026-07-03* BS pricing is deceptive. You have to buy credits, which you have to top up; however, because their purchase plan is always a decimal cents amount more than the package you can buy, you have to take the next step up. to purchase the lesser tier. Waste of money—bad business, fellas. ### 1/5 — Complete Ripoff *2026-02-20, version 2.13.0* Asking 3k for image insane 😂 ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-09-01* The app shows up the size of a phone in the middle of the screen on the iPad. It claims to have existing data but there is no way to see what it is unless you pay $30 or more. The “preview” is highly pixelated and useless. Seems sketchy. **Developer response:** Thank you for this feedback! The app is best used on an iPhone, and we will be sure to submit this to our product team for review. The low resolution preview is intended to show you where clouds may be present in the image, but the delivered image will be in the resolution selected at purchase. Don't hesitate to reach out to support@skyfi.com with any questions! ### 1/5 — Does not support Voice Control accessibility feature on iPad *2023-08-19, version 1.8.0* Does not support Voice Control accessibility feature on iPad ### 1/5 — Are the prices a joke? *2023-03-23, version 1.1.1* Saw this advertised on Facebook! Thought I’d take a look, basically it’s Google Earth with a price tag! 3500usd for a picture I can screen grab from google. And as for all the rubbish about being able to choose different dates etc, you can do that on google for free. Actually wasted 3 minutes of my life downloading this and a further 2 minutes writing this ! ### 1/5 — Overpriced nothing *2023-03-02, version 1.0.4* So just a basic satellite image which is pretty much google maps, however if you want a new one then booosh…..here’s where you pay, and it ain’t cheap. Pretty much a waste of time ### 1/5 — What a joke *2023-02-14, version 1.0.3* $3501 for a image what a joke ### 1/5 — Expensive *2023-02-08, version 1.0.3* $3500 plus for an image, I would expect a level of detail showing the colour of my underwear for that kind of money ### 1/5 — Suspicious *2023-01-31* Someone else made the same comment in more detail. After you install the app and go to run it for the first time, it says must download update, which is bypassing the iOS App Store update process. Now it could be innocuous as I have several apps that update their information periodically. But these apps say they’re updating certain information, and this app says it’s an update. **Developer response:** Thank you for providing this feedback. While we do update the app as necessary to streamline the customer experience, we work diligently to ensure that we are protecting our customers and are in compliance with App Store rules. ### 1/5 — red flag security risk, should be removed from app store *2023-01-24, version 1.0.2* red flag security risk, should be immediately removed from apple app store. Software behaves as malware. This app is non-compliant with apple developer policies, and possibly in violation of apple TOS and developer licenses. Apple should review this app immediately. Downloaded app. Opened app. Immediately, the app opens to a window with “new version of skyfi app is available” with an Update button. However, i installed the latest version, so no update should be needed. Additionally, i closed the app, and checked for updates for the app in the App Store, and no updates were pending or available. The app can NOT be run without this suspicious “update”. Any app that “updates” its app without the update being available in the app store is acting as malware. And not updating from the well established Apple Terms of Service and Apple developer agreements appears to be a direct TOS and developer agreement violation. Apple should remove the app from its App Store IMMEDIATELY, pending review. NO ONE should use the app until the download and update processes are Apple compliant. **Developer response:** Thank you for providing this feedback. While we do update the app as necessary to streamline the customer experience, we work diligently to ensure that we are protecting our customers and are in compliance with App Store rules. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Genuinely Good *2026-04-12, version 2.14.3* I think people are unrealistically hard on this app, yes it does have the same information as Google Earth, but if what Google Earth provides is what you need then this isn’t your use case. If people think moving a satellite in space to a location of your choosing getting near real time high res images for a few thousand is expensive then you’re not the intended customer. I’ve seen the images this produces, top notch. ### 5/5 — Great analytical selection *2024-01-04* It’s great that in addition to the data and imagery there is also an analytic marketplace. SkyFi makes it all very easy! **Developer response:** So glad to hear you're loving the app! ### 5/5 — Awesome and affordable gift idea for treasure land. *2023-11-01, version 2.0.1* I purchased an affordable digital image of a family farm from a pre-existing commercial data set from SkiFi using the app in the “Explore” tab. I ordered a 5 square KM section at 50 cm resolution. The best part for me was the rich and vibrant colors and seeing a familiar land from a new perspective. The image was sharp and arrived on time (within 24 hours). I am using the image as a gift to family to celebrate a family history that took place on that land. What a great way to share memories and make new ones with family. Thank you SkiFi. ### 5/5 — Task A Satellite From Your Phone *2023-10-19* This is the coolest app. You can literally tell a satellite where to take an image and it will send you your image back a day or two later. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for this great feedback! So glad you're loving the app! ### 5/5 — Most accurate sat map *2023-10-06* Detail to the property line **Developer response:** Thanks so much for this great feedback! ### 5/5 — Phenomenally intuitive *2023-04-20* This app is amazing - both in terms of the capabilities it provides and the ease of use it offers. I was able to pull up an order for satellite imagery in less than a minute for the exact location/conditions/type of image I was interested in. What the order was, how much it would cost, and how long it would take to get the imagery to me were clear and easy to understand. What used to happen exclusively in large government facilities now fits in your pocket, and you can download it for free. That’s incredible. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We are so happy to hear that you love the app - the best is yet to come! ### 5/5 — Super user friendly! *2023-02-28* The app is incredibly easy to use and I was impressed by the number of options made available! The fact that you can order a portion of an existing image and select the date, cloudiness, etc of the image all for $20 is pretty revolutionary. **Developer response:** Thank you for this great feedback! We are so glad to hear you love the app. ### 5/5 — The world at your fingertips *2023-01-23* What an incredible product offering all around. This could change the world. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this great feedback! We're excited to keep providing tools to help users like you change the world. ### 5/5 — Finally *2023-01-20* The world has been waiting for this! Finally an easy way to get fresh satellite imagery **Developer response:** Thanks so much for this great feedback! We're so glad you found it easy to use. ### 5/5 — Access to Earth Imagery for All is Here! *2023-01-19* Love this company and love the app. Aerial imagery has really only been accessible to big enterprise business and government users for decades. This app makes finding and buying aerial imagery super simple, opening up access to this type of data for everyone. The UI is spectacular - great product! **Developer response:** Thanks for this great feedback! We can't wait to see how users like you change the world with this easified access to imagery. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
