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

  • Good APP, Bad Support

    This was “supposed” to be an upgrade from SkySafari 6 but I really don’t agree. The support team has “promised” support for the SkyWire (their own device) but has NEVER com through with it. I have paid for the SS7 app but I am forced to use SS6 which in my mind is a much better version.

    I added the cost of pro version and see camera as an option. But no setting. Now after paying for pro I see yet another fee for premium. Whats next? Mega premium pro? Plans could have been clearly listed before wasting money on plan with buttons offering no settings.

  • Constant Crashes‼️

    24 August 2025: I have been complaining about this app to the developer(s) for almost a year because the app crashes about 30 sec after launching it. I am using an iPad Pro 12.9” Gen 3 and Gen 5 with both on iPadOS 18.6.2 and both do this. Developer said months ago to turn on Airplane Mode to kill the WiFi access which works; but, doing so also disconnects my telescopes. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT FIXING THE BUG AFTER A YEAR‼️ This has been occurring ever since iPadOS 18 came out. I am no longer recommending the app to any one seeking to use it in conjunction with telescope connectivity and also refer casual users with no telescope equipment over to StarWalk and other planetarium software.
  • Secondary Pay Wall

    I’m not sure why you purchase an app at $30 for the “Pro” version and then immediately have to pay another $30 to unlock the features. The app might be great but this is scammy.
  • App crashes immediately on “tonight’s best”

    iOS 18.6, iPhone 16 pro max. Everything else seems to work fine. App crashes when clicking the tonight’s best on the tool bar.
  • Trickery! I want SkySafari Six Pro not Seven!

    By I want SkySafari 6 back
    They use the same logo for SkySafari 7 pro when SkySafari Six is a much better app because you do not have to buy a yearly subscription. Trying to download the SkySafari 6 Pro which I have already paid for and own. It is now no longer available six months later. Instead you have to buy a yearly subscription to SkySafari 7 Pro.
