Pay for a app to pay for a subscription
App is by far best planetarium on market for iOS, however is also one of the most greedy apps out there. There premium features are gated behind high monthly and yearly subscriptions to use features that should be included especially after paying 50$ to bet the app!!!! Well the app itself is mainly good, i think the developers are scamming people out of their money if they don't advertise more that the PAID SUBSCRIPTION is necessary TO ACESS ALL THE GOOD FEATURES. Do better. DONT DOWNLOAD IF YOU EXPECT TO PAY LESS THEN 100$ A YEAR FOR THINGS OTHER PLANETARIUMS HAVE FOR FREE.

Premium qui ne marche pas
On paye mais le premium ne se met jamais en place ! On est trimballe entre le site français et le site US, chacun vous invitant à repayer…
Awesome
Good apps
Seestar Fi5 SCTに接続
まだFi5 SCTには試していませんが、Seestarには接続できるので最高です。とにかく先のことまで考えるとこのバージョンが最適で、50%OFFで購入できたので大変感謝！楽しく使わせてもらいます
Y a pas mieux
La référence absolue pour tout astronome amateur. 👍 manquerait juste un truc: pouvoir changer la couleur des objets du ciel profond (blanc pale par défaut) sans avoir à passer par une liste. A part ça, top! 👍
Not for advanced amateur s at all
As the years have gone by, Sky Safari has tended toward observers that have no idea what they’re doing. That’s all fine and dandy but how about those of us who have over half a century of observing experience? I could really do without the bells and whistles. Specifically the menu in portrait mode does not have the time settings immediately handy. And what’s with all this social sharing nonsense? I have sky safari ‘Pro’ not “ gosh kids! Look! It’s Jupiter!

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. @10.08.2026: still not fixed :-(((

Hello, Could you please identify your bugs? It is greatly helpful to bug fixing if the bugs are detailed to our support team at support@skysafariastronomy.com. We are very responsive to making fixes and adding user-requested features.
Very professional app !
I have been using the pro app for 7 years and I find it very useful when I share the night sky with people . I upgraded the app when the new version came out .
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.

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.
Response from developer
Thank you! We will keep working hard to roll out cutting-edge astrophotography features to make the experience better for beginner through professional!
GAIA downloaded, still capped at mag 15
The GAIA has been downloaded, star field FOV zoomed in, star magnitude set much dimmer than 15, Never Show Fainter Than set to Unlimited, no matter what no star fainter than 15 is displayed. I have SkySafari 6 Pro with no issue, 8 Pro simply does not work as advertised. Don’t know if it’s a bug or what, but this version is useless.

Missing some NGC objects
Have found some NGC objects are missing from this version. Example: NGC6144, the small globular cluster near Antares. It says not found when I do a search.
Herausragende Software
Dank Sky Safari Pro klappt die OnStep 5 Pro Anbindung absolut perfekt. Dasselbe gilt für die Einbindung und Steuerung des SmartEye durch SkySafari im selben Netzwerk via Mango Server. Einfach ein perfektes und zuverlässiges System. Ich hoffe, Sie bleiben weiterhin auf dem Kurs.
Bring back the developers you used for version 6!
Crashed within minutes of upgrading from version 7. I guess “scope display” isn’t a usable feature anymore?
Best I’ve seen
I’ve been a dedicated amateur astronomer and astro-imager for a long time and have used Sky Safari Pro since early Mac only versions. It has consistently provided the answers to most of my questions quickly and reliably. The UI is easy to figure out and improves with each major revision. Customer support has also been great.

App muss nach Gebrauch komplett neu gestartet werden. Version 8.03 (1025)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Response from developer
Is this still happening? Did you try reinstalling? We have heard of no other consistent issues like this, so a reinstall will likely fix, but please reach out to support@skysafariastronomy.com to report the details so a fix can be developed rather than post cryptically here where it can help no one.
zoom
Finally the mouse zoom is working without using the + - buttons
Response from developer
Yes! The macOS version is performing admirably! It's an incredible value to get the Mac and iOS/iPad versions all in one purchase and the in-app premium membership has family sharing. Purchase with confidence!
