Keeping up with the latest. Information when you need it. Identifying sky objects. Great.

Great Ap for amateur Astronmers

I purchased a Celesteon Nexsyar 8 SE about 4 years ago and loved how well Sky Safari 5 worked with it so I purchased this app. After the telescope bit the dust and I went through telescope withdrawals I finall broke down and purchased a Celestron CPC 1100 11” scope and this app works beautifully with it and only use this app to control the scope

Cool app - no support except through reviews?

Keep getting a zen desk rejection on site to get support. Stuck in a loop!! Frustrating. How does Comet NeoWise NOT make the “Tonight‘a Best” list? It’s been around since March. ? Wish meteor showers could be searched by “best dates to view” them... impossible to figure out their peak from data given. I’ll share more as I get into it. Love the apps overwhelming details. Would love to give it 4-5 stars once there is human contact and response... UPDATE: that link you provided is the exact same one causing the loop issues. Doesn’t work! NeoWise is on my iPad version not my iPhone version? And isn’t “Low on horizon” relative to where someone is at? In Canada it would not be.

Not helpful

I love the UI, but it will not control my telescope. After buying it twice because I like the interface so much. Not very happy.

Makes Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro go nuts after a few slews

UnderstandToQualify

This absolutely makes my skywatcher HEQ5 pro go nuts after I slew to 4-5 locations. If I was not watching it I would have crashed my camera into the stand leg as it attempted to flip my scope out very with weights pointing straight up. Absolutely zero direct support and a online community form that gets no responses. Mac version does same thing. Went back to using my hand controller.

Neowise Below Horizon and Above Horizon at the same time

ponderda

Bought SkySafari Pro. Loaded it on iPadPro 4th gen and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Asked each install to show me position of Neowise. Each computer had identical default configurations. However, the iPhone shows it below the horizon while the iPad Pro shows it above the horizon. What’s up?

developer response to "Empty search result for Comet C/2020 (NEOWISE)"

Galactic Groundhog

The Simulation Curriculum developer responded quickly to my recent review of this app, "Empty search result for Comet C/2020 (NEOWISE)". Their response suggested that I run "Update Minor Planet Data" in Settings > Solar System. What he failed to say is that the program bug is not fixed and that I would continue having to "Update Minor Planet Data" every single time I open the app on my iPhone. The update completes normally on my iPhone, however, and the comet is then found but the bug also then prevents the Search results from being "remembered" from use to use. Poor. Oh, and contacting Simulation Curriculum directly means posting on their community forum ("All SkySafari inquiries are addressed in the Community Forums (Check the box to access).". Again poor, in agreement with other reviewers regarding app support mechanism.
