Equipment is entered under “Observe”, not “Settings”. Have not found a way to import SS5 Settings/Equipment yet.

Hard getting it to control my telescope.

I like the app but had a hard time getting it to control the telescope. Finally I was able to connect via the app the came with the telescope and then this app finally started to work.

SkySafari Plus is simply THE best planetarium/scope control software available on the market. As an amateur astronomer, this is one of the essential tools to enjoy the hobby to its maximum. The ability to plan observing sessions, log observations, and learn about the universe make it indispensable. This app is well worth the investment. Whether you observe using your naked eyes, binoculars or telescopes, this app is for you.

Not working

Must be some bugs they havent sorted yet but will not connect to my scope. Had to go back to other program. This was a waste of money

Better Than I Expected!

This app is smooth and powerful. I will like learning how to use this great software. During my first session SkySafari alerted me to an HST pass. My ten-year-old observing partner and I enjoyed watching the low-angle pass on my iPhone almost as much as we would have liked directly observing the orbiting observatory. Tonight I loaded a second copy of this app on my iPad and watched my niece load another copy on her iPhone. It still works great!

Fantastic app for the stars!

I’ve been using SkySafari + for years. I love that such a powerful App lives on my phone so I can refer to it anytime at home or in the field. It works great to control my Goto telescope for observing and astrophotography, and functions perfectly in remote places where there is no cell coverage. Most excellent for beginners and experienced users a like. Don’t hesitate to get this app!

Unstable near zenith

SkySafari 6 Plus does not work as well as SkySafari 5 Plus that I bought last year. When I orientate my iPhone towards zenith, the sky view rotates rapidly and is very unstable. SkySafari 5 Plus does not have this problem. I would like a refund for SkySafari 6 Plus. Thanks!

Not working for me.

Very sluggish when connected. Bullseye not moving. Alignment failure. Regret buying the app and Skyfi, waste of money. Couldn’t find support phone number. Want my money back or fix it!

Good app. Confusing reason for update.

This business model of making a new version as a new app, asking users to repurchase it, and removing the old version from the store is confusing. I uninstalled my previous version to install the new version, after being prompted to download the new version from within the app. I realized after installing the new version that features had been removed, and that I needed to purchase this “plus” version to re-enable the features I lost. I couldn’t find the previous version in the App Store, so I just paid for this. The developer has pointed out that the old version can still be downloaded from the App Store in the previously purchased section of my account. Thanks.
