Setting layout is poor

I had a SkySafari Pro 6 it was very easy to use. With SkySafari Pro 7 version the layout of the settings is awkward. You have a list of options and then you have to traverse across the other side of the screen to find the toggles to activate that function. It's very easy to accidentally toggle the wrong function given the long distance between your option and a toggle switch across one side of the screen to the other. Very poor human factors design.

Exceptional

I had several versions over the years- Its always improving. Love it.

Inaccurate ISS positions

Even after updating minor body data this is the case. So if this is inaccurate what about the rest?

Pro 7

Mon avis pro 6 est de loin le meilleur que j’ai été en mesure d’utiliser! Je ne comprend pas pourquoi un pro 7 ?

Data remain same as previous version.

I use APOD every morning and search the topic astro object. But more and more, “Item is not found” returns. I’ve been using series versions of this app. It is clearly time to improve the base data base.

Where to look

This is a great app and will guide you to virtually any object in our night sky……
Where to look, no problem.

The essential amateur’s tool for exploring our local sky!

New Selected Object Orbit Bug

There is a “white line” stuck on the screen now with the previously selected object orbit. The white line stays on the screen and won’t go away. Is this a scheme to get users to pay another $50 for an unimpressive upgrade???

I purchased the premium SkySafari ages ago.

I have had the pro version for many years. I feel like the changes have dumb my version down. It’s unfortunate because I love this app.

---------------
After months of the calendar forecast being broken, the developers have released a new version of the app that they're now charging $40 for. I've already paid for the Pro versions of 6 and 7. How long does a purchase last with these guys?
There's no upgrade discount either

Omg I could see many stars

I saw many stars and it’s so beautiful this is fun!

Crashes

On iPhone crashes when you click on Tonight.

Un superbe outil

Très bon outil pour l’observation. Permet de repérer rapidement les objets recherchés. Utilisation efficace avec les montures, caméras etc

Expensive

Bought 7 Pro for $29.99 in August of 2025. Unfortunately, we haven’t had many opportunities to try the app, but it does seem to be very well done. However, getting 8 Pro upgrade prompts to the tune of an additional $34.99 is a bit much. We’re not the target audience for this one.

Which version

App is good but I find it hard to recognize which version I’m in.

Used to be great, now it’s just for entertainment

I have used Sky Safari for decades. With every update, it has morphed into some sort of game/social thing. Less and less useful for a remarkably experienced user such as myself. Live Sky is totally useless IMO. I’m a solo observer, thank you! And what’s with the sound effects? Really? (Yes, I’ve turned them off)
In summary, less of the fluffy stuff please. More real utility.

Doesn’t work with Skywire

SkySafari 7 Pro insists on a wireless WiFi connection. Despite what the help file says SkySafari 7 Pro does NOT work with a Skywire serial connection to a iPhone or iPad. I spent several frustrating hours trying to create a preset using a Skywire to no avail. The setup menu does not give the option of using a Skywire connection.

Money grabbing

Seems there is ALWAYS up update that requires a subscription. bS

Thanks

Bought 2 months before SkySafari Pro 8 was released. Discount offer was funny. Haven’t been using it much now.
A lot of awesome stuff in the app.
