SkyView® Satellite Guide App Reviews

Great database, but crashes constantly

The app contains a huge database of man made space objects, and a very nice user interface. Sadly, the app tends to lockup and crash if you go into the full description on objects. This lockup/crash annoyance greatly takes away from the apps potential.

Fantastic educational app!

Really enjoy this app for its forecasting and tracking. It greatly aids in the finding of objects like the International Space Station. Keeps the kids involved. Makes looking up at the night sky fun and full of wonder. We are there. We are there. We are there.

Fun and intriguing. Great app.

I spend hours just staring at the stars from my basement. How awesome is that!! With light pollution blocking my way it is difficult to enjoy the real thing. I think this app is truly worth what I paid.

Fun for the price

This is pretty cool. Now if only if it could clear the night sky so I could actually see some of these things! lol

Amazing app !!!

I have had it now for about 7 months and I use it everyday ! I love The fact that I can see the space station going over head and it show you exactly where it is and this guy passing over. One of the best sky apps I have purchased in a long time, wait. No. Its the best !!

Awesome -

I have always been fascinated with space from the moon landing until today - looking at space from my phone and seeing the wonders of the stars

SkyView

Wonderfull program You can see everything

Doesnt work

Cant tap things in globe view, screen doesnt rotate in AR view. Dont waste your money on this abandoned app.

Fantastic

How do they do it? Hours of entertainment and knowledge from this winner

Not good

Dont buy this one if you have the other one this was just a waste of money

PROBLEM WITH AZIMUTH

While in AR mode the azimuth is frozen to north and will not rotate. Elevation works. Both azimuth and elevation is functioning in Skyview but not in Satellite guide. *** 2 months later and bugs still havent been fixed. *** DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY***

Fun App

This is great for those of you who wonder about whats in the sky

Love this app

Absolutely love this app lots of fun and very informative

Doesnt show all satellites at once.

This app is well designed except for one fatal flaw: you can only show one type of satellites at once. This unnecessary design limitation makes it hard to use on the field as you must switch between the 10 categories.

Awesome and accurate too!

I love this app so much! Me and my dad use this app at night to watch satellites pass over our house the app is a little behind tough but thats expected but I kind of like it being behind a bit so we can put the phone down and know exactly where it will fly by, Thanks for this awesome app! <3

Absolutely Fantastic App!

Love this app, very well done. Have been looking for an app like this for a while and finally found a winner. A few suggestions for future versions. 1. Allow viewing of sub-categories (ie: Communications->Iridium to just view the Iridium Satellites). 2. Put a button to re-spin the globe like at startup. 3. Allow spinning the globe on the earths axis (lock in axis in place). 4. Lighten the dark sky areas, very difficult to see most of the world other than whats lit up. An alternate would be to have a switch to turn it to daytime worldwide. I hope youll consider these suggestions to make your fantastic app even better. Totally love it! Very well done.

Very nice app!

Great design, very easy to figure out after a few minutes of working with it. Only problem I have is that theres no iPad (Universal) version of this app, I love using the big screen. Otherwise, great work!

Amazing but not Universal

For 3$ I was expecting a high quality app but unfortunately its not Universal and objects are not in high quality, Otherwise I love it. Please make it universal...

Pretty Cool!

A really neat app but kind of cumbersome. In future updates I would love to see an option for satellites nearby and an ability to set up dates for sightings as you view a satellite in the AR. Overall a very fun app!

Nice and accurate.

Allowed me to preview the track of a satellite (once above the horizon) to view an Iridium Flare. Very accurate.
