Description

SkySafari makes stargazing a simple pleasure. It has the largest database of any astronomy app, includes every comet, asteroid, satellite & solar system object ever discovered, offers unparalleled accuracy, advanced planning and logging tools, flawless telescope control, and provides the very best experience under the stars when you depend on it. Don’t postpone joy. Discover why SkySafari is the #1 recommended astronomy app for serious amateur astronomers since 2009. Here's what’s new in version 7: + Complete support for iOS 18 and iPhone 16. Version 7 brings a new and immersive stargazing experience. + Events Finder - go to the new Events section to unlock a powerful search engine that finds astronomical events visible tonight and far into the future. The finder dynamically generates a listing of moon phases, eclipses, planetary moon events, meteor showers and planetary phenomenon such as conjunctions, elongations and oppositions. + Notifications - the notifications section has been completely revamped to allow you to customize and manage which events trigger an alert notification on your device. + Telescope Support - telescope control is at the heart of SkySafari. Version 7 takes a giant leap forward by supporting ASCOM Alpaca, INDI & StarSense Explorer. These next generation control protocols allow you to effortlessly connect to hundreds of compatible astronomical devices. SkySafari 7 brings social stargazing to mobile devices with two new features to help you connect with other like minded people. OneSky - allows you to see what other users are observing, in real time. This feature highlights objects in the sky chart and indicates with a number how many users are observing a particular object. SkyCast - allows you to guide a friend or group around the night sky through their own copy of SkySafari. After initiating SkyCast, you can generate a link and conveniently share it with other SkySafari users via text message, apps or social media accounts. + Sky Tonight - jump to the new Tonight section to see what’s visible in your sky tonight. Expanded information has been designed to help plan your night and includes Moon & Sun info, calendar curations, events and the best positioned deep sky and solar system objects. + Improved Observation Tools - SkySafari is the perfect tool to help you plan, record and organize your observations. New workflows make it easier to add, search, filter and sort data. + Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets keep your favorite astro information at your fingertips. The Small Touches: + You can now edit the Jupiter GRS Longitude Value in the Settings. + Better Moon Age calculation. + New grid & reference options allow you to display Solstice and Equinox markers, Orbit + Node markers for all solar system objects, and tick marks and labels for the Ecliptic, Meridian, and Equator reference lines. + Previous In-app Purchases are Now Free - this includes the H-R diagram, 3D Galaxy view, and the PGC galaxy and GAIA star catalogs. Enjoy. + Many more. If you haven't used SkySafari 7 Pro before, here's what you can do with it: + Hold your device up, and SkySafari 7 Pro will find stars, constellations, planets, and more! + Simulate the night sky up to 5MM years in the past or future! Animate meteor showers, conjunctions, eclipses, and other celestial events. + Control your telescope, log and plan your observations. + Optionally backup all of your observing data in our secure cloud storage and make it easily accessible to multiple devices as well as from our new web interface, LiveSky.com. + Augmented Reality (AR) mode + Night Vision. + Orbit Mode. Leave the Earth’s surface behind, and fly through our solar system. + Galaxy View shows the position of deep sky objects in our Milky Way! https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ https://www.livesky.com/privacy.html

  • Love it!!!

    Ok. I might not live it, but I really really like it. Whenever I question an object in the sky, it’s my go-to.
  • SkySafari 7 Pro is 2nd to none

    Simulation curriculum corp constantly updates this app to keep up with changes and equipment in astronomy. It’s the first app I turn to when planning a photo session and visual observing. From controlling your scope to finding a new target, this is the best app out there. Worth every penny.
  • As useless for iPhone as all the previous versions.

    No compass reticule is shown, just a little arrow that approaches the target and disappears as soon as it narrows in on the target. For polar alignment, this is utterly useless. For an app that cost $35 this is very poor.
  • Paid for it, then hit paywall!

    Honestly, it would be a GREAT app if…everything that makes it unique wasn’t hidden behind a paywall! Seriously? Bought the app, then tried to use the 2 most consequential components (light pollution map, featured tonight) and both are locked behind yet another “premium” paywall. I’m so, so sick of getting taken by these greedy companies that offer a paid for PRO version, then charge yet again for the FEW things that make it unique from other FREE APPS! Totally ridiculous and just destroys all the excitement I had when I purchased it. I’m sorry, but you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
  • Simply the best

    I’ve tried over a dozen different ones over the years, and SkySafari is an unqualified thumbs up. Even the basic level, which is free now, will satisfy a lot of people. NOTE: Their apps do go on sale at substantial discounts. Right now there’s Memorial Day sale with the pro version at $12.99, which is 75% off! There are subscriptions that you can buy, only you can decide if they’re worth it to you. I decided I didn’t need it, but you can decide that later. The product that you buy here is a one-time license (lifetime). Clear skies!
  • Unable to use

    Unable to enter my telescope model information, so I can’t use the app
  • Too ambiguous reset uncheck planets?

    Unable to reset view back to normal status mode. Reset toggling is not visible. A simple reset button works wonders.
  • Paid app and want subscription for features

    Buying an app then requiring a subscription for extra features on a mobile app is not what I expected from a ‘Pro’ version.
  • Stella

    I bought a scope Wi-Fi guide called Stella some years ago. After a while, I switched to a new phone and found out that the Stella guidance program was no longer offered! I was furious. But then I did some research and found out that sky Safari took over manufacture of Stella and an even better program for guiding. I sure am glad you did.
  • Cannot get it to work
