This is astonishing

I have had Starry Night Pro on Mac for many years. SkySafari is all that AND portable. The detail and sheer amount of information is amazing. Having all of this functionality on an iPad is incredibly useful. I first installed this on my 13” iPad Pro, assuming this would need all of that power to run smoothly. But it also runs just fine on my Mini 5. For a new astronomy enthusiast, this has everything you need to get started. For someone like me, who has been looking at the sky for many years, this is an awesome reference.

I use sky safari every night while presenting deep space objects to my tour guests near the summit of Haleakala on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Wouldn’t leave home without it!
Difficult to use

I saw a video of an astrophotographer who raved about this app as an upgraded method to plan and direct their mount when using an ASIAIR pro. It took me a while to figure out how to get the app to display my field of view boxes to display on the sky. When searching for objects using names such as Cat’s Paw or Tulip nebula, half don’t show up without an exact catalog designation. Good luck finding Sharpless 101 with the search. I planned on using the FOV indicators to determine which equipment to use for objects, but half the ones I look up don’t show an image. (Wizard nebula, Tulip nebula) Lastly, the compass feature keeps turning itself on while I’m trying to look at a region, and sometimes it doesn’t let me turn it off. Maybe my expectations were set too high, but I find it would be a perfect app, if it wasn’t so difficult for me to use.
Indispensable

If you’re an amateur astronomer this program is without peer and indispensable. Learn the sky, find targets, do research or plan your night. Can pre plan your shots or calculate equipment field of views. Can control your mount or show you where it’s pointing. Just get it.
Where is the Upgrade?

I saw an option to upgrade for a 50% discount but then when I look on my phone I no longer see the pop-up and I can’t find the option to upgrade anymore is it no longer available?
Perfect, but no discount upgrade to SSP7?

I have not a bad word to say about SSP6, I use it every time I go out observing. It has taught me so much of the night sky! That said, my hang up at this particular moment is that I was given a pop up promising 50% off SSP7. I tapped it through to the App Store, where the upgrade was simply full price. What can I do?
Just paid for sky safari pro

It’s disappointing that I just paid for this app then they release a new one that’s also a paid app.
