SkySafari has always been a great app!

Universe Observer

09 Dec 2020 SkySafari has always been a great app for observational use as well as communicating upcoming events. I use it for myself as well as for others as a pointer for where to look for the events like yhis year’s closest conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter in 800 years. Along with this “emailed” info, I also like to show screen shots on a day by day basis 5 days befor and after the event like this. Unfortunately, on of the big drawbacks in automatically advancing and recording the animation is that the user does not have any control over how fast those increments jumps in time occur. I’d really like to see the fixed as a setting so it can be slowed down to a reasonable timelapse sequence, especially on increments larger than a minute. I resort to manually stepping thru while recording right now. If this was changed, I would not hesitate to this up to 5 stars. It is very close to that now.

It could be way better.

I have a few suggestions: 1. Can you add ability to tag up to three items. So their position can be tracked relative to each other over time? More like a group select feature. 2. An option to select specific satellites to track would also be great rather than having the thousands available displayed at once making the app useless and impossible to view. 3. Must have feature: When in AR Mode, can a manual or machine learning AI based “correction” be applied by identifying the position of the sun or moon and making appropriate position and view correction and keeping the correction locked in even after the AR mode is existed. I think this is critical for accurate positioning and data and act as a secondary calibration method. This will also allow for a fix when the on-device compass goes out of wack and will allow manual compass adjustments.

New purchase

Crashes upon opening

SecretSquirrelSociety

This app crashes upon opening on iOS 14.3. Disappointed that it’s been a month since an update was released.

Horrible Support

Don in Frisco

Dear Simulation Curriculum Team, please figure out how to do support right. I want to display solar system distances in miles, but cannot figure out how to do this. Object Info shows distances in km and light time units (usually seconds or minutes). How do I see miles? Many people on Cloudy Nights are asking about this, too. You need to have an email or contact chat where we can ask questions like this. Thanks in advance for your help.

I use this every day

It's an awesome app. I use every day to look at the ecliptic and see the relative positions of the planets and moon. It is most helpful to plan viewing at the telescope.

Not for me

I don’t know the first thing about telescopes. This app doesn’t make it any easier. I have an equatorial mount and I continually attempt to set the app to EQ coordinates but it refuses to stay there. Disappointed. Maybe I’m missing something. I would say NOT for beginners.

Love this app

Bought this app for all the features to control a telescope lots of info available. Is pretty easy to figure out.

Great App. But my telescope won’t be controlled.

I used the free version for a long time. I really like this application. I recently bought a 10’’ SCT with GoTo. I was so looking forward to controlling the scope with my iPhone and iPad. But, I cannot get the two to cooperate. After a few hours of trying and retrying and researching, it looks like my scope is just not responding and the application is not expecting that. Who would? I would appreciate a refund. I’ll keep the other app I bought, the one without the scope control. Sorry it didn’t work out.
