Don't bother
Don't buy this if you intend to connect it to a telescope. It does not connect to my Celestron 8SE with goto mount nor my Skywatcher MCT 127 on a AZ-GTI mount (or the tabletop mount). It is this software's problem because SkyPortal connects fine with my Celestron. I have tried to connect using my MacBook Pro (M2), iphone 17 and my IPad Pro 2024. Yes, I used the same IP address and port settings as SkyPortal. Tech support could not give any workable answers.

Replaces Star Charts
I still do a lot of Star hopping and Sky Safari is essential for that. I also use a PiFinder and run Sky Safari through/with that.
I love the detail information on most objects, and the items and news for the day and the week. I pay for the Pro version as I live LiveSky on my laptop and my desktop.

Pegasus SmartEye problems
It is very temperamental with Pegasus smart eye with frequent disconnects and frustrating stalls - very disappointed with how this works.
Old bugs aren‘t fixed
Several years old bugs won‘t be fixed… @edit: no, Simulation Curriculum Corp. isn‘t responsive to make bug fixes in this case. There is an absolutely annoying bug, where an icon obscures other menu operations (have a look in your Skysafari iOS forum), reported in 2022 (!!) that hasn‘t been fixed until now.

Must have app for Astrophotographers
This is my go to app for finding Astro imaging targets. It has the most comprehensive set of possible targets, including many obscure catalogues. A must have in my opinion.
