Nice app
I'd rather walk or even crawl
Well, thank you for the reply to my review! Unfortunately I’ll not be able to search for anything via ra. or dec. since I don’t have that kind of scope. Now I know the way to ask a question and get a response is through a review.
Don’t even bother, you can’t connect your phone to your scope
JaGuarundo
Get the free version - it’s the only one that actually works to connect to your scope. Granted this has great compass viewing while I’m sitting on the toilet, it can’t connect to my scope and is of absolutely no use vs a a $4 app that can also direct me to the universe while sitting on the pot. The free version works fine with the wi-fi module. The paid version can’t even find your scope to connect with. Total FAIL!
Latest Update (26 Aug 2020)

Please check how the time is displayed. I see: Wed Aug 26, 2020 0 05:17:34 PM To increment by hour, you select on the 0 in front of the 05. This “new” standalone 0 should not be there. When the time changes to 10, 11 or 12, the single digit becomes a “1”. Date should be displayed as: Wed Aug 26, 2020 05:17:34 PM Hardware: iPhone XS and iPad Pro running with most up to date iOS.
New version bug
Verry P00r design
With the latest release, a bug was introduced with the time/date at the bottom of the screen. There is a separate character between the date and time. When the cursor is placed on the additional character it appears you are adjusting the hour. When you place your cursor on the hour you are adjusting the minutes, when your cursor is on the minute you are adjusting the seconds. It is workable, but was not apparent with the previous version and should be fixed.
Not as nice as SkySafari 5 Pro
SamRhoads
I’m sorry I bought this. The moon doesn’t have any surface detail, just a black and white disk. The time controls are messed up. You have to pad in the wrong place to get minutes or seconds. I don’t want to control a telescope so don’t need those features. I’ll just keep using SkySafari 5. The sky is fine. And why don’t you include my award winning panorama of Honolulu? I wish the ‘Now’ button was not right next to the forward and backward arrows. In trying to watch a future event and making small adjustments to the time, I keep touching the ‘Now’ button by mistake and going back to the current time. Very frustrating.
Unable to use augmented reality on IPad
Genoafire
I cannot get the app to connect to my camera on my iPad to use the augmented reality. I have checked the settings on my iPad to make sure the app is allowed to connect to the camera. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I have swiped down on the screen while in augmented reality to change the contrast and nothing happens. It is obvious that the app is not connecting to my IPad camera to allow augmented reality to be used. I also have the Starwalk 2 app and the camera in that app connects to Starwalk 2 with no problem. I even deleted the Starwalk 2 app to see if that could be the problem with the camera not connecting in SkySafari Pro. Still no connection between my iPad camera and SkySafari to allow the use of augmented reality.
Update problem
The real Lojack
I updated the app and now it will not go into [AR] in compass mode does nothing. So now I’m using SkyPortal to view the sky in [AR] mode. Hopefully they will fix this new issue they created with another update very soon. The program is fantastic otherwise easy to use, I control my telescope with it. Jw
Lacks reliable focuser control...
G37x
Overall good software, however it has such a crappy control over the celestron motor focuser. Cannot rely on this, absolutely NOT! Please fix it. Every time I need to focus it goes back and then forth, always passing over the desire value. Don’t tell me that thats the correct implementation, because focusing via the HC does not have this issue!
Best planetarium app available

I use SkySafari Pro exclusively for mount alignment and objective location for my astrophotography projects. Much simpler than using the Celestron hand controller. Love it!
