  • Missing a telescope?

    By Sammy Chez
    It is a good app but the James Webb telescope is not part of the app. At least I can find the Hubble.
  • The best astronomy app.

    This is one of the best ways to explore space, right at your fingertips. There’s no ads! You can explore, look at stars even during the broad daylight, you can find your favorite space objects, you can read information on rocket bodies, you can view planet alignments, you can even look at constellations, and an image of something, which, is supposed to resemble the constellations of which you are looking at. I never even knew that Orion was a constellation, therefore that Betelgeuse was within the constellation of Orion. I could not have guessed that Orion was a constellation, and Betelgeuse was a star inside Orion, was even a thing. That’s why I love Skyview. This is my favorite educational app I have ever downloaded. You can learn about ANYTHING about space, and watch the sky. I am telling you, Skyview is one of the best apps ever. You can view all of your favorite stars, galaxies, nebulae, planets, constellations, even literal rockets and satellites. I love that when the camera is off, the background looks, fantastic! I love how you can learn something by every tap. Find a star, tap it, and watch how all this information pops up. The name, its precise location and where it is going, and a cool fun fact. Observe. Observe the true nature of this app. Skyview is awesome. How many times did I say this apps name?
  • Literally the Best Space App

    I absolutely love this app because I personally love space and this app shows me everything. Tonight I saw two really bright stars and wanted to find out which planets they were. It turns out that it was Jupiter and Venus! I love this app because it tells you about the planets, satellites, and the stars. It even has NO ADS! That is a big win win! Definitely the best space app for any universe lover out there! #1!

    I don’t know why the app all of a sudden is broken. It’s stuck on north. Doing the same thing in the NASA app.
  • Unable to find comet 2025 R3 on the app

    Shouldn’t be hard. What am I missing
  • Missing satellites

    By RandyAChamp
    I’ve had the free version for a long time, and decided to get the full version for more things. But with the full version it says you can see the satellites like the ISS. It doesn’t let me see the ISS which is the main reason I got the app.
  • Amazing

    Have had this app for years and still use it several times a week to identify stars. And now my young child is interested in looking at stars and using this app.

    Photography is my hobby and I love shooting night sky events. I’ve been using SkyView for many years to locate and track these events - lunar eclipses, meteor showers, solar eclipses, etc.

    I cannot figure out what I clicked on but I was charged and cannot contact anyone to gain a refund. Do not download! You’ll be charged without your consent!

    My SkyView quit working and wants me to enter in a hardware code. Submitted a request for help with no reply. Avoid and find another app that has good support.
