SkySafari 6 Pro Reviews

great app

mikesch4

I happen to be blind and really enjoy skysafari 6 pro. I'm impressed with the amount of information that the app provides on various objects in the universe. I like the fact that skysafari 6 pro has an up to date and large database. I highly recommend this app to anyone who is blind or sighted.

The best Astronomy app for the blind

This app is fully accessible for the blind. There are other Astronomy apps that blind people use. However they are not as accessible as SkySafari 6 Pro is. Unlike the other Astronomy apps this app allows you to study the universe and even allows you to observe the night sky without sight.

Does not reinstall on iPhone 5 running iOS10

Waste of good money

I had to delete the app to make temporary space while installing another large app. Now I cannot reinstall SkySafari!!

Best You Can Buy

I received my doctorate in ‘86, and have catagorized this app as one that I can NOT imagine what I did without it. Granted that all information contained is open source and available, but not so in such a portable, credible AND provides highly accurate and VISUAL examples - with current (to the SECOND) data from the ESA, NASA, JPL, and TONS OF OTHERS. As stated previously, even time and distance figurations are provided and accurate. WOW. What an app! Now, having said all this, the practice of coming out (almost annually) with new versions without recognition of prior customer loyalty and purchases is OBNOXIOUS and ..., SILLY. I would beg the developer to revisit their release strategies, to include loyalty to prior customers purchasing the app (over and over again) to stay current. Thank you in advance for considering this. I’m sure it’s important to your doctoral customers, and well as students who are not as financially stable as others. I say this because I’ve seen students struggling to purchase this app. It’s just way too mercenary for me to recommend it - But I will give it FIVE STARS ***** because of its content. Please forgive typos, IF any.

Awesome app, one of my favorites.

Amazing app that provides an unparalleled view and dataset for the night sky. One gripe is the compass: it doesn’t seem to auto-calibrate when app starts, and is often off by 30-50 degrees due to drift. I must first run apple’s compass app to recalibrate, then restart sky safari. Update: the compass feature continues to be at issue; now when engaged, the whole screen jitters.

First rate support and creativity

I have been a beta tester for Simulation for two years now. The leadership of the company is fully engaged with its customer base. They really care.

My first time

Just started gazing and I thought I would give this app a try so far so good but it’s obvious I have a lot to learn with app alone. Looking forward to the arrival of my telescope trying to get prepared for that day. Yes, I am enjoying what I have done so far.

Forgot neowise

I had located the comet 2020 neowise a few days prior to 7/14 in SS Pro. Upon upgrading to the latest version as of 7/14, it deleted its comet cache (the bug that is listed as fixed in said version), and I had to waste time downloading a different app over cellular. Very disappointing for such an expensive app that they constantly try to up sell addons for. It is also still inept at controlling Astrophysics mounts. Sigh.

Going back to Sky Safari Plus

Rookie Ricky

First thing I looked at was Ursa Major and this program has Dubhe so far out of alignment that the constellation was unrecognizable. Tried different things and definitely not a user friendly program. Still have Sky Safari Plus loaded so will continue to use it.
