Sky Live now works with Apple Watch to alert you of upcoming astronomical events and tell you everything going on in the sky over your location at the moment.
"For stargazers, Sky Live is exactly the app we've always needed to find out just how much of the stars we can see at night and when we'll be able to see our favourite constellations and planets." by Nathan Snelgrove, AppStorm.net.
Stunning space photos combined with everything you need to know about stargazing conditions for your location tonight. Stargazer or not - this app will spark your curiosity.
The most accurate hourly conditions for stargazing are estimated on seven criteria and summarized in one Stargazing Index that will give you all the information you need to make your plans. The formula was developed by a mathematician on the Star Walk team and takes into account:
- Is there anything interesting in the sky tonight?
- Can I see Saturn?
- Is it going to be cloudy?
- Is it going to rain?
- Too much light?
- Is the Moon too bright for stargazing?
You will also get detailed reports on position and trajectory of the International Space Station, the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and other planets. The forecast is available for seven days ahead.
If you would like your photos to be featured in the app, please send them to [email protected].

Dissapointed

This is a very basic app; it should be free. There are plenty of other free apps providing more information.
Does very little to nothing

Mostly useless information. Paid the $0.99 for it, didn’t do anything for that buck that it didn’t already do, nothing. I can swipe a few days ahead to see “weather viewing percent” but the app falls short on everything. Other than the home app page, the only other page was manual that gave some background information on parts of the app that for the most part doesn’t exist. Keep you money and space. Waste of time.
Great for friends

Great way for me and my friends to check out what’s going on in the sky. Trying to catch a peak of the iss is our favorite
Improvements needed

This is a good app. It could be better if I could bookmark your current location. This Is a bummer because your can’t dial in a specific city or state lit country.
Ruined our night.

I relied on this app to travel 2 hours to north New Hampshire on a night it listed 85% "Great" for star gazing. I kept wondering why there were tons of large clouds in the way up. Sure enough, the clouds darkened the sky and it poured for the entire time the Milky Way was highest in the sky. Absolutely the complete opposite of reality.
I don’t understand it.

I’m looking for an app that can tell me how to find things and what they are in the night sky, and I guess this isn’t it, or I just really don’t understand how to use it. I did pay, not even using the free version.
