Description

Night Sky is a powerful AR personal planetarium.
Quickly identify stars, planets, constellations and satellites above by simply holding your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch to the Night Sky! This is all done magically. Whether you’re looking for a constellation or the International Space Station, let Night Sky direct you to it, then explore the object in AR!
FEATURE SET:
- SKY TAGS - Make Night Sky yours, by adding personal Sky Tags to the map! Pin Sky Tags to objects in the sky to save for future reference, and share them via iMessage so others can find them!

You can even add Astrophotography photos and observation notes to your Sky Tags!

upsetting

when I would go on my backyard to look at the stars, it would show me the same exact ones every day. The compass would be incorrect because if I opened the app and looked that way, exit the app, and looked up another direction, the same stars and planets would be there from when I first opened it. it would also constantly ask for you to buy their subscriptions or other things.

The longer I use, the less impressed and less inclined to renew sadly

I find more and more that meteor showers are not appearing. Currently, the “Bootids”, while unpredictable, are occurring now with their peak Friday and nothing. This isn’t the first time. I used to love this app for my kids and myself but I’m feeling bummed and annoyed now. Part of the fun was seeing the showers on the screen for the kids. As well as something to look forward to for myself.

Endless Stargazing

An amazing new level to the stargazers and daydreamers, I get lost for hours just exploring space and the intricate details light years away, anywhere or any time of day, even when in bed. I love how I can go to a past date, time , and location, tag it, and view the universe at that precise moment from now until forever. Huge thank you to the team of creators on this app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great app but issues with the widgets

This app is great. I’m able to easily see the stars and other celestial bodies, definitely a 10/10 app. The only issue I have is the widgets. Theres nothing wrong with the way the widgets function, but when you have your background style on iPhone to tinted, the widgets appear as a white screen. But overall I really enjoy this app

Awful. Makes no sense.

For some reason, when you use this app and pointed at the sky, it decides not to show you the things in the sky that you are most likely to be interested in, such as the moon or a planet. Instead, it fills the screen with used rocket bodies, and random Stellar objects that you can’t even see with your naked eye. And then, it keeps giving me notifications that the ISS is going to pass overhead and yet when I click on that notification right away, the ISS is almost always under the other side of the planet. Nowhere near my sky. I was a subscriber to this app for years and I don’t know why. Just deleted it.

Not for older phones

I’m impressed by the features, but I can’t really run it on my old XR. The phone runs hot, the app is sluggish, and small actions can take a long time or even crash the app. I think it needs more resources than my phone can really give it. When I finally give in and get a newer phone, I will try the app again.

No way out!

I contacted Night Sky to cancel my subscription. They say I have to cancel it through Apple. It does not show in my Apple subscriptions. I have yet to find a way to get them to stop charging me for a subscription. I no longer want or enjoy. I would strongly suggest you do not use this app unless you’re 100% sure you want to use it forever it would be so lovely if there were a way to get rid of it other than fighting with Apple and Night Sky.

Love the app!!

My stepmom’s family along with my 6 brothers, dad, and I have gone up to the upper peninsula of Michigan for a week in early October since I was really little. Last year we went and we usually hang out at my meema and papa’s RV that they keep up there at a campsite near the bridge until it’s really late and we need to go back to our cabin. Anyway, my dad brought these rocking folding chairs and when I leaned back, I saw a shooting star. We were pretty far north so it was easy to see the sky. I begged my dad to download an app so we could see the sky and even though it’s a bit off he downloaded this one and it was so cool. There was a mention shower happening right above us and we saw so many satellites. 9/10 app, only took one off because it’s a little bit off.

Unusable, bloated, overly complicated

Just as the title service. I’ve used this app for years, but I haven’t used it in a couple years. I opened it up and it’s just bloated and I can’t even find the settings to turn the music off and change some other things. This app might be OK for someone who is used to it and is using it, but it’s not worth it for new people more frustration it’s worth if you’re just trying to find out what that star is in the sky real quick. I searched for simple star maps, unfortunately there’s this and another one that comes up and neither one are simple. They both are bloated.
For the developer, my suggestion would be to have it open, relatively clean, and let people turn on all the bells and whistles, if and when they want to.

Good for stars not for planets

I’ve been a happy customer with night sky for the most part it is good for identifying stars and constellations. But the bad part is planet tracking, I used to put total trust in this app for planets, galaxies, stars etc. when I was using night sky for tracking planets I always finished my stargazing disappointed because this app said Saturn was in an area in the sky but that area has a tree line where I live. Then one night I pointed my telescope at a star and it was Saturn than I looked on my Night Sky app and I found that this app was totally inaccurate to where Saturn actually was. Thankfully this app has accurate star, and constellation tracking, but never use this app to track planets, just use your eyes to find strange looking stars. Update: This is not just bad for planets it is also bad for stars 😐

Best suited for casual use not for actually locating celestial objects.

I got this app to help identify and locate objects in the sky to be viewed through a telescope. The accuracy of the image on screen vs. the actual star placement is mediocre at best. EXAMPLE: Using Night Sky with an iPhone 15 pro max the phone was pointed at a star about 2 degrees lower than Saturn and identified the star as Saturn. This same result was repeated with Jupiter.
After several nights of use with this app it’s clear that this is intended more for entertainment purposes rather than any actual use. The lack of accuracy in locating objects, the obnoxious amount information constantly pumped to the screen, the soundtrack, default setting, clumsy interface, and myriad of other useless features that are geared towards entertainment, make it clear this is not an actual tool.

Night Sky

The more I go outside at night and watch what comes into view, the more I love looking at the Stars, Planets, Meteorites and everything else that makes it so special. Most people don’t know what they are missing . Most don’t realize that a star that doesn’t twinkle is not a star but is one of the planets in our solar system. I Love seeing Meteorites and writing down which Planet, Star it started burning up and which one it either broke up or slowed down enough so others can figure out what they see to be able to try and hope to help others to get an idea of where what area it landed in hopes to find it by triangulating where it might land and get something so precious and valuable.

Never a problem it’s fun to be in the galaxy

I had this app on my prior phone and I loved it. I put it on my big screen and just let it play. The music was actually very nice. I’ve never written review before and can’t believe that I’m doing it now, but I saw some negative stuff and I don’t agree. I didn’t have a problem, I had a 7+ iPhone move up to the 13 Pro Max 512 memory really quick and I think I get unlimited service on Wi-Fi so cellular so at night time my spin around in my driveway and hope I see some UFO go by but that’s not written into the program that’s running so the colors are good. The owls are out I go for a 10 o’clock walk with my cane. And dog spray just in case I get attacked again yeah that’s the only thing I use on my phone I’m 75. OK bye now.

I was born with hereditary condition that was passed down from my grandfather. Before it started affect on me at the age of 10. I would stay out side at my parents on te trampoline and look up at the stars and be amazed. Of how beautiful and amazing how much there is out there that most of us so no little about. So when that started and my vision started getting a little blurry I tried and tried so hard to look back up but i couldn’t. I down loaded this other app that was free at the time and it gave me the same feeling. But iv always loved astronomy and the way it never has changed. And it never has an ending. So with that being said thank you so much.

I am doing this game a lot, but I am in six grade and I’m in my science class. We’ve been learning about solar eclipse and lunar eclipses so in this game I really like to add. what eclipse is a number… I feel like that would be like a really good change for the game or entertainment thing, but I use this app a lot and I really hope you guys change that so if you guys can, can you guys get it done by the end of this weekend so on Monday I’m gonna be checking but no offense here I’m just saying I just wanna challenge for you guys you know so I hope you guys can do it yeah.🤪😬😁

thank you thank you

First, I would like to thank you and those in charge of the success of the Night Sky application, which is considered unique in terms of accuracy in information and accuracy in astronomical geography. Secondly, I am speaking to you from the Middle East, specifically Saudi Arabia. The application must be more known and popular, so I am applying to you as an agency for an application in the Middle East, as the application will remain under your complete control. Only I will be a promoter of this application until it becomes famous like others, or until I can introduce it to international festivals in Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. And others, and promoting it in some public places (and this is without any charge, I only want a certificate of agency from you so that this becomes legal. This is just support from me) With my regards: Mr. Muhammad Salem Al Salim

EXCELLENT

The night sky app is an excellent tool for anyone interested in stargazing or astronomy. With its intuitive interface and comprehensive database of celestial bodies, this app makes it easy to identify and learn about the objects in the night sky. One of the standout features of the night sky app is its augmented reality mode, which allows you to point your phone or tablet at the sky and see a labeled map of the stars and planets superimposed on your screen. This feature is incredibly useful for identifying objects in the sky, especially for beginners who may not be familiar with the constellations. In addition to its augmented reality mode, the night sky app also includes detailed information about each celestial object, including its name, distance from Earth, and interesting facts about its properties and history. This makes the app a great educational resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of astronomy. Overall, I highly recommend the night sky app for anyone interested in stargazing or astronomy. Its user-friendly interface and comprehensive database of celestial objects make it an essential tool for both beginners and experienced stargazers alike.

Bug?

I’ve been using this app for a while to gaze at the sky with my eyes. This thanksgiving I got a telescope to see further out. I highly recommend this app to see what objects to look at and what conditions in your area to see it.
I found a feature within one of the menus that’s to take pictures with( Astrophotography). I’m starting astrophotography as a hobby for myself, the feature has multiple capabilities and potential of having use. But every time I use it, it crashes the app… both my iPhone and app is updated to their latest versions. I’d love a response back please. I’ve tried this on someone else’s phone and theirs crashed as well.

You allowed these broken eyes to see my home.

I built a house that I could sit on and watch my stars and in the process injured my eyes that I can’t see clear anymore. Tonight I downloaded this app and sat in the cold frigid lovely on the roof built with my broken body and I wept. Wept because I never lost faith that this roof would be my launching pad. I didn’t know it would take an app 5 years later to see my home star far from the nothingness I feel here in exile. But I bet the artists who made this tech Mona Lisa didn’t know that the worlds loneliest hermit would see redemption through this, such a work of art. If you build an app to touch the ever, I’ll be your space monkey for free. Remember me when you sail back home.

This is why you should get this app!

I love seeing the stars and the names of them, the satellites and their names, etc. there is no lack of information it even lets you view for different planets you can also see galaxies like the Andromeda galaxy and it also lets you see where constellations are. This app is amazing every time I see a shiny thing in the the night sky, rather it’s a star or a planet I pull out my phone and aim it at the shiny dot and it tells me what it is. This app is the reason why I love and am such an expert on space. If you like space and want to learn more, I recommend this app by far!

Wow!

Except no other. Yes you may find others on the App Store. Yes you might find it cheaper. But you won’t get a super detailed super advanced app like this. What a great way to share those insomnia nights with the kids. Maybe not the younger younger ones but pre teens on up I think it’s a kool way to bond if your kid is into this. It’s awesome it’s informative it’s mind blowing. I haven’t used the display on ceiling yet.(not sure what it’s called) but I’m excited. If you like to enjoy a little can a bliss then check out the awesome sky above then this app is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Enjoy it. Yes you will just be careful if ya hung out with indica ya might wake up on the blanket a little later. Lol. Great app.

Night sky

Unfortunately I am not getting the enjoyment I had hoped. I am not clear on how to use it for example does the camera part of the I phone face the sky while you look up at the display? If the screen of phone is held up facing the sky how does one view it? I didn't even see the moon on the ap on the night of full moon. Maybe I am slow but I just don't see the sky on the ap resembling actual sky at all I would ask for more explicit instructions. Further I can no longer use it without subscribing. I see they offer a 30 day trial cancel any time but we know how that works you can never reach someone to cancel if the app falls short. I only use it rarely anyway. An app without instructions isn’t what I need right now.

Brilliant App

This app truly humbles you, that moment when you open the app you can see everything! Stars galaxy’s,planets,the Milky Way, and even satellites. One of my favorite features is that your able to view most if not all objects in an interactive 3D space. It’s a beautiful app with stellar accuracy. A problem you will see is that it’s not 100% accurate when you look to the sky but that’s an easy fox just find the section to put in your current location and when you do I promise it gets much more accurate. I personally have a telescope and this app truly fascinates me, I use it to help find objects I use it to help see what objects are there’s just so much good in the app with or without the subscription. The app also has many other various features such as the news category which fills you in on all the latest new regarding astronomy. I personally love the app and am sure you will love it too!

Great App, Great Support

This app brings together information that I otherwise would need to bounce between 3 or 4 apps and Wikipedia. Combining this info in one place increases both the efficiency at the telescope and the enjoyment of sky gazing. I don’t have a GoTo telescope mount so access to the dimmer magnitude stars (above 7) makes star-hopping to find faint nebulae and galaxies far easier.
I am also very impressed with their support. My one “problem” was answered within 4 hours, and followup help even faster. It’s so nice to get help from people who both know their product and the challenges in the general field of its use. (They not only know where the buttons and menus are, but know astronomy and why you need the button
as well)!

UI makes it impossible to filter out clutter for casual user

This app has some nice features, but the view of the sky is always cluttered with overlapping constellations, satellites (especially Starlink satellites), and numerous other objects. It’s not easy or obvious how to filter stuff out. For the casual user it’s a bit of a nightmare. I only use the app occasionally, so I’m always relearning the UI. I imagine this is an excellent app for regular users, but every time I use it I always find myself bumbling around in the dark trying to figure out how in gods name I can hide all the extraneous stuff. They should really make it more obvious. Also, the last time I tried to use the app (July 2022) it kept freezing up on me after a few minutes.

Subscribe or forget it.

A great app with significant detail and great graphics, but I am going to delete it and look for something else.
There are two problems. First, if you live in an area with moderate light pollution, the app is too detailed but not accurate enough when aiming your phone skyward to determine anything not identifiable by being in a constellation. For instance, I can see Vega but not the surrounding stars because their magnitude is less and don’t come through the pollution; but they show up on the app. I think the app is identifying it as Vega, despite the fact I am not pointed directly at it and there are no surrounding stars for reference.
The second problem is just annoying. Any time you zoom in on anything the app pops up a screen advertising the “premium” annual subscription- which is costly. This pops up so frequently the app is essentially unusable.
Great app if you want to subscribe and don’t live in a light polluted area. Otherwise… just an annoying gimmick to get you into an expensive subscription.

Beautiful app and good customer service

I downloaded this app because my three-year old son and I like going outside at night just before his bedtime to play and look at the moon and stars, and I just wanted to be able to tell him which planets and constellations we were seeing. This app did that and so much more. I had no idea what was orbiting our planet! I also love the widget.
My son also likes to use the AR feature in the house and sit the sun or the moon in our living room.
I haven’t used even half of what the app offers yet and I decided to purchase the lifetime subscription. I wanted the full experience for when I was ready to use it, but mostly I felt that even the free features were worth the price.
I did run into an issue where the app was not recognizing that I was Premium. Every time I opened it, it thought I was a free user and then I had to “restore purchase” to get it to work again. I emailed customer service for help and they were super responsive and worked with me to try to figure out what was wrong. The latest update fixed the issue.
Overall, we’re thrilled with what this app has to offer - I’m learning so much! - and recommend to anyone looking for a great star gazing app.

Amazing buy it now!

I just want to say first off this app is amazing you can see every single planet the only downside is I do not like the music I think you should leave that no offense though the app screwed the other thing is I think you should be able to zoom in so you can see the plan is better otherwise the details amazing I love the ratio and just how you can see every name of what is like in outer space and it’s not something you get to do every day so the developer I thank you for making this app it’s really good! Your app is very good and I love the colors and the concept. Thank you

issues

I used the premium version for over two years and for nine of those months, the portals did not work, I’d open it up and it would either crash or freeze on where I was creating the portal. I downgraded to the free version but then saw there was an update so again I paid for the full version. Still, all it does is crash. I’m using an iPhone XR with the latest iOS. I have absolutely no problems with any other app.
I have installed and reinstalled, I’ve gone from premium to free and doctor premium. Nothing helps. It is the single most important feature in why are use this. Why am I paying for something that I literally can access. I just don’t understand can somebody please help me? I see others have the same issues but, there’s no solution

Used to be favorite app

Used to love this app and there are multiple settings that have been lost over time. The last nail in the coffin is this new “widget” design which informs me that URANUS is Going Down. It used to show me stargazing conditions and weather and more useful things. Super lame evolution of what could’ve been a useful tool. You used to be able to change visibility and now you can’t. You used to be able to change the date/time of the stars you’re looking at easily. Now I can’t figure out how to close the absurdly over informative pop ups that have tiny text. Again, super disappointed as a star lover that this app has succumbed to “look” instead of function. Sorry night sky.

I like it/some bugs though

So, I’ve had this for a while. This is my first review however. It’s usually pretty solid. No complaints. I haven’t used it in a while and just did the update. There’s a My Views feature that I’m trying to use for an upcoming trip. The app crashes/shuts down every time I choose a date and time and press save. It doesn’t matter if it’s my location or a far flung one. Tonight or a month from now. Just crashes. It’s annoying.
Also the Night Sky Views and Stargazing Event tabs don’t work. Says something about internet connection. My internet is working perfectly fine everywhere else (even the rest of the apps features). All in all I like the app. The latest upgrade does have some bugs/glitches. Or maybe it’s me. Could be. Don’t think so though.
Just a note, I’ve used the free version until tonight. I just upgraded to the free trial. Not sure if or how that’s effecting it’s performance although I’d imagine it would normally be better.

Amazing, but can have a few tweaks!

I downloaded this app, and was very surprised! I had gone through trial and error, but this app was overall the best. Okay, now to the things that can improve: 1. When you click on the place that shows what the weather condition is, the temperature, and when the sun and moon will go up or down, the app automatically sets the time to when the sun goes down. I would love if the app automatically set to the current time. 2. When I search for a faint object (Proxima Centauri for example), the app shows me the location, but no pointers or anything tell me where the object is. It is impossible to find some objects 😢. 3. Please show moons of other planets in our solar system, or some planets from different stars. I would love to see solar systems of other stars. Finally, please do not send me the link to your help website, just read the review and try to improve. In no way do I think this is a bad app, quite frankly...I love it! Just please listen to me and try to make this the best stargazing app out there.

Light pollution

It seems to work alright,but I live outside of town an with the light pollution I cannot see that many stars. Well I can’t see the hundreds of stars they show.......I had written about how with the light pollution that I could not make out the stars that I could see compared with the Hundreds of stars that are shown on the screen. So I gave the APP 3 Stars but I was contacted by email by the company. I had no idea that if you place 2 fingers on the screen an swipe down all of the stars are removed,except for the ones that I can see. WOW what a difference! Thanks again for your email and help or I would have never been able to enjoy the night sky like I can now.

Can’t use the app after paying for it :( it was great while it lasted

I purchased the app a long time ago and haven’t been enjoying it since unfortunately after the recent updates I have not been able to log back on and when I hit the button that says restore purchases it just continues to load and does not allow me access. I sent an email to support and I am waiting to see if they can help me resolve my issue being that I have already paid for the app and have not been able to access it for sometime otherwise the app is fantastic I love it and while I was deployed in the army many of my battle buddies were fascinated with how accurate and informative it is others wound up buying the app themselves

Good to bad... to not so bad.

Edit: really surprised, pleasantly, by the developer response. Improvements came quickly, though more fine tuning is needed. I’m still very impressed by their passion to put out a quality product and customer service!
Original review: Received an alert on my watch that the ISS would be flying over and offered to take me to it. I thought, why not... hazy, but might get lucky. So, the display on the watch showed a pretty high path (as opposed to those low on the horizon). So, keep checking my watch face arrow pointing up/down to pinpoint location. I grab my phone and open the app, met with a sales pitch 8 pages long! (Longer than most ISS passes). Find the end, close it and look for the ISS icon to appear where the arrows on the watch are pointing. Nothing. Turn to go back inside, and there it is much further north gliding across the sky NOT where the arrows/flight path were pointing! I didn’t even bother to check the app on the phone as it couldn’t even sync with it’s counterpart on the watch. Super frustrating!

Missing some things

I love this app but lately it’s not picking up everything. There is a bright object to the top left of the moon right now, in close relation visually, and it’s not registering on the app. I gave it the benefit of the doubt that the bodies showing up a little further out were it but none of them lined up with position in the sky in relation and visual proximity to the moon. The app used to be spot on. Second time in 2 months I’ve been disappointed with as many times using it. Last time it wouldn’t show me where the moon was at all when I was trying to brag about the app to friends.
Next night:
It was Mars. Why wouldn’t it be superimposed over one another and have something that says what it is? And when you try to zoom in to a local body you get visually flooded with our local cluster of galaxies (honestly, that’s annoying. I know it’s a combination of our galaxy with other galaxies mingled in, but help me learn from local bodies! At least give a staged zoom prompt where you can zoom to the inner planets, then the outer planets, then the galaxy, followed by the super clusters if you wanna take it deep lol. Also, this used to have a super easy to use function where you type in a local body and arrows guide you to its location in the sky. Why would you get rid of that?! 🤷‍♂️

Great app

So much fun. You get a lot of great ,real time stars in all directions. We went to a local observatory on a whim and my wife showed me this app. It is a fantastic guide to the other part of Mother Nature. We saw Jupiter and Saturn , along with the waxing moon through the telescopes and the app had us walking around in the dark filled with wonder, able to see with our naked eyes and identify cuz of the app. I literally love this app. The notifications give me relevant planet positions as they happen and keep me engaged in the heavens throughout my day, and that really makes the day better. Once you poke at it some you figure it out. It’s relatively intuitive as well as easy to understand instruction wise. Get the app.

Froze up in the field; little in the way of instructions

The app worked great at home but when I drove a few miles away to look for Neowise and there was no WiFi, I connected my iPad to my iPhone hotspot, which worked well for everything on the internet EXCEPT Night Sky, even when I connected my iPad to the USB port in my car. The app didn’t respond as I moved my iPad—I could spin the display in any direction so North could be South, e.g.—so essentially it was no help at all with locating anything. Given that the user is likely to enter areas with no WiFi, there should be some way of addressing this scenario.
Which leads me to my other complaint. The tutorial is so bare boned it’s difficult to figure out how to use some features. I don’t mind exploring on my own; in fact it’s rather fun. But sometimes I’d discover how to do something and later couldn’t remember how I did it, and there’s no guide to help, so I’d have to figure it out all over again. There were a couple of features I couldn’t get at all, like the Siri voice command to find an object.
So, overall, while the app offers great feature, it doesn’t provide a very good means of helping you use them. Disappointing.

I love this app except...

I really love this app, especially the 3D models, but I have a problem- every once in awhile it crashes and I have to go back in. How do I fix that? I have iPad 7th generation. Thanks.
Updated response: hi I have two other issues: 1. Can there be a button instead for the premium offer because whenever I zoom out really far to look at the galaxy it pops up, and it’s kind of annoying. 2. There’s this glitch or something where when I search for “Earth” in the search bar and click the button for the 3-d model, all I see is empty space. Could that be fixed?
Over all, this is a great app! 😀

Excellent changes; Great improvements

Hi! So I posted a review not too long about the entire app and with the update this app is the number 1 night sky app!
So first off AR Sky Blending isn’t lagging anymore. It’s smooth and I can actually find the stars I want to see in the sky. Last review I said it was inaccurate, but now it’s pretty accurate.
Next, I would like to tell just how much better this app is than the other night sky apps. So there’s an app called sky guide and sky guide costs $2.99 and it’s “The Best” night sky app. I decided to compare this app to that app. Holy. Night sky was better in every single way. It was easier to use, had more features, it showed the names, and had better detail. And I haven’t made any purchases on night sky. I could go on but I still have school work.
I do have a couple of questions. How come Neptune is rotating so fast and spinning clockwise? If Neptune did actually rotate on its axis like that then this app should get 6 stars but it doesn’t. Second, what does the red/black button do? (The button that makes the app red and black) I have no clue what it’s suppose to be for.
Overall massive improvements and I hope to give an even better review some time.

I love this app, but I have one problem...

I absolutely LOVE this star app. I like how you can tap on an object and look more closely at it. The only thing is, I don’t know if it’s my phone or the app, but I tapped on a space station and it went to my photos like it should, but then it went black and went off of the app. It happened like 5 times. Again, I don’t know if it’s just my phone or not though. But other than that I think that this app is really cool. I use it for my telescope to look at planets. Thanks for reading! If you have time, I would like it if you could tell me what’s going on, or if it’s just my phone. My phone is really old, so it could very well be my phone. Thanks for your time!

Good on my iPad

Nice app for my iPad. Good graphics. Most of all, I like its usefulness. As an amateur astronomer, I’d like to get the most out of least effort... I want to stargaze rather than play with the electronics. Setup makes that happen. I also like the notifications given before a noteworthy event occurs. Moving the iPad over the sky like a planetarium is sweet especially with an uncomplicated horizon.
2 criticisms. 1) I’d wish the app could overlay the equatorial and RA/Dec across the sky. The ecliptic is helpful but just not quite enough. 2) I’d like to be able to reduce/increase the number of stars, especially in lieu of light-pollution. The more obvious the target, the easier it is to match up map to sky.
There’s a bit of a learning curve over my other device. Having said that, I really like this app and look forward to using it.

Disappointing...

I went into this app thinking, “Hey, this looks really cool,” and I then saw all of its features and downloaded it. At first glance, this app was quite the spectacle. You could zoom in and see countless stars, view satellites, and view distant constellations. But then, I saw the first problem, it very poorly lined up with the actual night sky. In other terms, it was very inaccurate. I then became very interested in the premium, so I bought a yearly subscription. I was very excited to use the new features that were unlocked such as a AR solar system and an AR planetary portal. But then, I realized both of these features were poorly implemented. The portals glitched and the solar system was very glitchy as well. At the end of the day, I think this app desperately needs improvement in order to match the expectations you set for me in the preview. So please, developers, please try to implement the features promised better.

Clear, accurate, helpful!!! Good job “guys”... thanks for your efforts!!!
So as SOON as I wrote the favorable review ... still true... the jerks in the sales department began FLOODING the app with ad after ad totally blocking my screen with obnoxious pressure to UPGRADE!!! Totally ruined my night and repeatedly angering me at the arrogant , rude way they tried to bully me into buying up ... which I would gladly done had they not been such manipulative jerks ... now I’m going to a different site and will justifiably badmouth their sales dept should anyone ask... very low class!!
So then I got a lame, sarcastic, nerdy reply from a “site developer “ who chided me for being upset with the tricky , repeated ads , that rudely interrupted the site over and over while I tried to actually USE the site... Long story short it’s a good site but use while they hammer you with ads ... so either give the site free and allow users to CHOOSE to upgrade or stop acting like good guys and just charge folks upfront and honestly...... you lying jerks...

Honestly, worth it

I’ve been using Nightsky for a long little while now. I found it by going through Trial and Errors of trying to find the best app to look at the sky. I’ve sat i went though 5-6 apps before I was happy with my choice. It’s offers you so many features without even paying for it, as you would have to do for any other app. It’s crazy. Because it’s a free app that offers you AR experiences to blend with your night sky, real time constellations, stars, galaxies, Nebulas, satellites, and even major NASA things like, Hubble Telescope, International Space Station, Meteor Showers And so much more. It has tours of planets too. They also have media news updates everyday about anything going on in space like, The Mercury and Mars Conjunction and Major things that will be able to be seen with the Naked Eye.
I’ve dragged this on for too long but, over all it’s the best app to use for everyone who likes Astronomy and for Astronomers.

Great app, annoying “reminders”

I really love the app. I use it at least once a week. My one and only complaint is that the app asks me every time I start it up if I want to upgrade. No. I do not want to f’ing pay for the upgrade. *edit* What kind of response is that from the developer? I am well aware the paid services offered. My issue is that the app offers these paid services too often. I would love to turn the app on without having to decline the paid services. When I’m outside using it, I usually have my telescope with me. I’ll find what I want to look at with the app, then put my phone on my pocket. When I want to move on to a different object, I open phone, and am asked if I want to pay for an upgrade. Every single time. I understand you have to advertise the paid services but it is a bit much. It’s as if you did not read my initial review and did the exact thing that I have a problem with... advertise the paid services.

Nice app but a little confusing to use

Update. I started using sky guide and it is must easier to use. If you just want an app to show you what is in the sky that is a good app. Night sky is too complicated.
I think I like this app but it is a little confusing to use. First it doesn't seem to reflect the actual sky. For instance, when I point it at Ursa Major it doesn’t show it exactly where it is in the sky. So, I am never sure what I am looking at when I look at the actual sky. It is like it just shows a map of the sky and isn’t really showing me the actual sky. I tried to use the sky blending but I can’t figure out how it works. The tutorial is lacking. I would like to see more explanation of each feature in the help section. Also in the preferences, there is no explanation of what each option is. For example, what does it mean if I enable the “moon” preference? I saw in one of the reviews the developers said to use the compass align to fix the view of the sky. I tried that but how does it work? What does the + or - degrees mean? More explanation is needed. I want to just point it at the sky and see exactly what I am pointing at be reflected in the view. I have had this app for years but just picked it up again. The older version was much simpler and more accurate.

100% Paid App: Misleading!!

This app is 100% pay to enjoy. The “free” price tag on the store front I just that, a front. One you open the app you are forced to sign up for a monthly service of $1.99 per month before you can use it. Sure the first month is free but this is absolutely insane... Apple revolutionized the media works with the invention of the $0.99 song, the $0.99 download, and the former $0.99 movie rental. And now this app that hopes to secure a blind $20 per year for intermittent use!
The most infuriating part of this experience has been that it’s in fact an Editor’s Pick. Sure the content is probably amazing and the functionality highlights everything Apple does well or at least wants us to appreciate/focus on. BUT the promise of consumer experience + value + entertainment should factor into these designations as well. If you’re not going to call this a paid app, you’re failing on the first promises are broken.

Has potential......

However, I downloaded it 4 times and I it was ok when I first opened it ( after the download), but then it kept crashing and freezing up. Even when I pick “Always” on the location settings( which I never do for any app), and turn the ISS and Iridium notifications off it still crashes and freezes. Does it want me to pick the premium thing? I don’t want to though!!! I don’t want to do the FREE trial!!!! That means I don’t want to do the premium thing if I don’t want to try the FREE trial!!!! I’m supposed to have a choice in this, right?!?! Developers, if you fix this, then I WILL give this a five star review. The one thing I haven’t tried is to “Use Night Sky Recommended” notifications settings. I might try that. If you have any other suggestions please share.
Edit: I have now tried “Use Night Sky Recommended”. It froze up. I do need to update my phone, so I’ll try that.
Second edit: Same circumstances as above, except my phone was updated.

Two things in the way

Two things are making this app too frustrating to use for me. Every time I open the app a huge add appears (for the Grand Orrery) that requires a long scroll to dismiss. That’s very frustrating. When the app finally opens, and I’m looking at a part of the sky that usually contains objects I’m interested in, the Milky Way, as represented in the app, makes seeing objects almost impossible. For some reason the way this app represents the Milky Way looks like an acid trip, Loaded with bright colors and a very complex. I haven’t been able to find anything in the preferences to turn this off, or to make it look more naturalistic. Strangely if I select “real sky representation“, it makes all the planets pin sized, but the Milky Way remains Day-Glo red and purple. This essentially makes it even harder to see objects against the app representation of the Milky Way.

Awesome, but...

This app is awesome. It looks great and provides even more info than the Sky Guide app which I also have. But my main issue with this app is simply the fact that I can’t use it for 5 minutes without getting a full screen pop-up BEGGING me to pay monthly for the premium membership at least 10 times. It’s so annoying. I can understand the pop-up coming up once or twice when you first use the app, but for it to continuously pop up multiple times during use is so annoying, and makes the app somewhat annoying/difficult to use.
You don’t need to pay money for any “premium” features, when the app pretty much already gives you what you want for free.

Amazing app

This app is incredible and it is very fun and educational! Every morning I leave for work before the sun rises and I see the same patterns of stars and constellations that I can recognize like any normal person. But then I started noticing the changes in stars as the seasons went by, so I became curious as to what stars were which, especially since some were so much brighter than others. Turns out I’ve been looking at Venus the whole time, and I never would have known this if not for this app.
You can also tap on anything you see to learn more information, including satellites, Jupiter’s moons, far off nebula, etc. I even found the Hubble telescope way out there in the sky with the app! You can even locate the International Space Station with this app. Definitely worth 5 stars.

This. Is. Amazing.

I was simply wasting away at home, when a bored search led me to this app. Intrigued, I downloaded it. It seemed rather well-made, so I continued. I fiddled around with some things after swiping through the tutorial, and I was astonished.
There are so many great features to this app that fascinated me, for example— the augmented reality, where the app mapped out the heavens across my bedroom ceiling. The stargazing aides, that help you find a nice, quiet park on the right day and with the right conditions. Or the notifications that can literally alert you when the International Space Station is flying over your head— or when a Uranian dawn breaks. There’s so much to this app, and if you have any interest in astronomy-or astrology- try this app out.

They should really give more than 5 stars on this app

This is seriously the most amazing app you can ever download into your iPhone. I can’t believe how amazing it is to see space live, see the satellites moving, and gives information like what date it was launched, where it launched, and show descriptions of different stars and planets. It uses all AR, and it is amazing to see planets and satellites so closely and detailed. I am in love with how this app is made, and for sure deserves more than 5 stars.
Developers: You have done such an outstanding amazing job with this app. Highly recommended for anyone who loves space and is into science; or just curious about live space. Love this app, and will always recommend people to have it in their iPhones.

Disappointed

I have used this app for many years and proclaimed all of the great things that initially made me love it. I primarily use it in the warmer weather in the Northeast.
I am guessing an upgrade or three happened since I last used it. While I was with some friends at the beach the other night we caught when we debated was a planet. When I tried to resolve the debate via this app it was like something I’d never seen. The familiar functionality I once knew was gone. If I could go back to what I once purchased and had I would be there in a heartbeat. I see there are options to upgrade but I don’t even have a clue what I’ve lost. I guess I will look for something that functions like what I came to know and love.
I enjoyed many years of using and enjoying the app which made me purchase it. The enhancements were great but like they say too much of a god thing.....

Great App & great support!

I loved the app but did not love the “Glass Constellations” that kept blocking my view and for me it was a distraction for me personally. I looked in app but the options and menu choices are so many (a very detailed app with lots of options) I got lost and did not know how to disable these.
This is where the great support came in. Quickly the developer replied to my question and showed me hoe to disable these in the preferences. If you have that same concern just follow their direction and go to preferences and there are 3 boxes or buttons you can tick off for glass constellations. I just ticked all 3 off so I can see the night sky clear and beautiful. This app is an awesome support for knowing what’s in space around us. Thank you!

Incredible

I wanted to be an astronomer when I was younger because learning about the stars and planets and other extraterrestrial bodies was always so fascinating. I have never looked up to the sky and seen something other than magnificent beauty, and with this app I can bring back my childish wonder and appreciation for learning. Being able to identify the seemingly insignificant dots in the dark sky brings a sense of joy I honestly can’t describe. I really love how much information you can find on each and every speck in the universe. Maybe there are flaws in this app just like any other creation, but I believe that I’ll be able to look past any that I come across due to the purity I’ve found in this money-making scheme. God bless
