Use to be good, not so much anymore
I have had this app for years, and it use to be dead on. Now I can aim at the moon and it will be way off on the app from where I am pointing. No longer worth keeping this app if it doesn’t even show correct positioning of anything in the sky.
Waste of time and money
The free version doesn’t even show a quarter of the constellations. Very disappointing.
This app sucks, and I am being polite
It has never been aligned with the actual stars. I have had this app for at least four years and it has never accurately shown the stars. Always at least 5 degrees off, at least! I just want to know what I am looking at and the app does not help. It sucks!
App problem
Why was it keep kicking me out instead of entering, when I tried to enter, it kicked me out again, was there a virus in there
Ugh
New paywalls make using the app almost impossible. A couple years back, it was super close to free; now y’all are turning greedy. Night Sky is better.
Off targets
I’ve had this app for years. However, using my husband’s phone tonight we loved Venus because it wasn’t showing on my app… it was in the complete opposite direction. I deleted the app and all data and it’s still not properly displaying the planets..And yes, the software is up to date, my phone is up to date and it’s been calibrated several times to no avail… sad to see it go, but oh well.
Eclipse
Not good for eclipses
Artemis II
Why can’t the app show??
It’s not working…
I try to use it then it just shows one picture it’s doesn’t move around it’s broken one star
Scam
This game did not show any space stations even when I bought the space station PACK
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬👎👎👎👎👎
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬👎👎👎👎👎
fake
weird
Just stopped doing anything
I've been using Skyview for a long time but suddenly it no longer tracks with my phone. It's completely useless now. I've deleted it and reinstalled with the same results time to find a new app. iPhone 17 Pro Max
It’s not working
It’s locked on just a line and it’s not working
Uranus is in my living room. It’s showing stars are in my living room and creatures and Jupiter
I should’ve read the reviews first before I downloaded this. It’s incorrect what a shame.
How bad this app is
There’s one bug where it does not let me move anything it’s just looking to one constellation and I can’t even move my phone. It’s not even pointing at the right one and it hasn’t been updated since two months.
SCAM AND CAM
this app is a scam. i was looking for the little dipper, which i am a professional star reader, so i knew it was the little dipper, bur it told me something completely diffeent. if you buy this app, BEWARE.
Ads and more ads
Pay
Inaccurate
Do better
Duhhhhhh
This app is dumb. It removed Neptune and Uranus.
Gps cooked
Gps pointed at the sun to get a manual fix
You get horizontal vectors and nothing vertical
Over 5 years old snd its off by 120 to 70 degrees
Manually fixed, popping right back. Zero saves
Congrats now they are stealing location data and statistics and selling them in a microphone print that nobody reads

Has Been my Go to since 2012 an It’s Crashed. Installed it multiple time. To make it work. An it’s Crashed
Doesn’t show all stars
I was looking for a star conselllation that is found in the southern hemisphere. I pointed ny camera to it, and I know that it was a real constellation bc somebody showed it to me a minute before. It didn’t show up. I’m rlly disappointed.
Update crashes
Latest update causes it to crash on iPhone. It still works on my iPad.
App Not Working
Downloaded the app and went through the whole starting process once I reached the end of it asking my data the app just close and every time I open it the app keeps closing
Constant crashing.
Crashes on open every time
Do not download-keeps crashing
This app has not been updated in so long that it will crash with current versions of iOS
Doesn’t work after Update
Ever since the new update the app crashes every time I try to open it. Fully updated software.
No longer works
The latest update for compatibility with the latest os has made it so it doesn’t work for me anymore. I have 17.5.1 and don’t wish to update my os. Is there anyway you can make the app work for folks like me again? Thanks
App crashes
App just crashes now every time I try to open it on iOS 18.5
Don’t bother
It may be free but not worth the click. Won’t stay open more than a second. Complete waste.
App stopped working
I always love this app, but I tried to load it tonight and it just keeps shutting off. I don’t know what happened.
Not working
Anyone know why this app isn’t working?
Please fix
App continues to crash after latest update! Please fix!
Used to be a good app
App keeps crashing. Can’t use it for anything
Crashes
New update won’t even open. It crashes and you go back to the Home Screen. Please fix ASAP
CRASH CRASH CRASH
The app crashes repeatedly. Trash.
Weird lately
The app backwards on my iPad, but fine on my phone. I’m facing south, but the app says I’m facing north. Eastern USA.
What
This told me the moon was to the south when I could see it to the north…
Lwk stopped working, mkay?
So uh I used to use this app, mmkay? It was great and very accurate, but now that I try to use it again it just won’t work, mkay? It’s stuck on a red line in the middle of the screen with the letter N in the middle and random stars that won’t move no matter how much you move the screen, mkay? It WAS a good app, mkay? But lwk stopped being good, mkay, so uh… pls update the darn app, mmmmkay?
Will not open
I had this on an older iPad, I don’t recall the iOS but it worked fine. I had to get another iPad, iOS 15.8.6 and now it doesn’t open. I have tried deleting and reinstalling but same problem. It even says on the app it’s compatible with this iPad. I’m mystified.
PLS UPDATE
This app is amazing and I love it, but lately it has been messed up. The sun will be actively setting in the East but the app will say it is in the West. The planets aline tonight and it is cloudy here and I cant use this app the see what is going on through the clouds. Pls update your app. It will be very appreciated!❤️
Unimpressed
Bro it literally said the moon was at my feet
The in app purchases
I am a young person interested in stars I’ll tell you that for free, but I want to see ALL the constellations for free.
Andromeda, Heracles, even triangluiam. But I don’t want to buy the add ons. So I recommend trying a different sky app tracker. It was also off by a lot in the night sky.

Great, but…
The app is very great and ya da ya da ya da, but you can’t even look at most comets and asteroids using it. I don’t know if it is different for premium. But for me I don’t want to pay to see stars. This should be fixed.
Bored
This is boring just straight up boring
No longer loads
Version 3.8.8 updated my app and now no longer works. It flashes the upgrade option and closes.
Crashing
Use to work great but now it crashes when starting on iPad Air M2…
