Ratings and reviews

Good features. Worked better than others. Still a reliable app to confirm my aging, out-of-practice naked eye astronomy. Nice to confirm that, yes, that is indeed the planet I thought it was making its way through a constellation. Or find a few stars on a less than ideal night (but still beautiful). Matched my camera and location, calibrated compass. Wish it gave background stories - everyone should know the two horsemen and the why behind Antares, for ex., and when they'll next meet. Easily.

I almost never pay to upgrade apps. My young child wanted to see planets not shown on the free version. Plus, I have a severe lack of navigation, so the background of my surroundings really helps to eliminate questions. After a few prompts to upgrade for $2, I gave it a try. We're really enjoying it, and I was pleasantly surprised by the difference. This is one upgrade I haven't regretted.

Basically point and shoot. Everywhere you look your screen will be filled with everything you can think of. Planets, stars, constellations, satellites, space junk, paths, and tons more. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to learn, just look around! I've been using SkyView for years! A one time upgrade fee of $2 is well worth every penny for what you get. Planetarium experience in your pocket. May I also say that the background music is intoxicatingly beautiful!

What’s new

Dear Stargazer,

This update brings enhanced compass accuracy with NOAA's high-resolution World Magnetic Model 2025 for significantly more accurate magnetic declination calculations worldwide. New compass correction feature lets you manually adjust for local magnetic interference in your area. Access via Scene Controls to fine-tune alignment and save custom settings.

Fixed rendering issues on some devices where stars and planets would not appear.

Best,
Terminal Eleven
