  • Absolutely amazing app for people who love space

    Hunter M2019

    Sky Guide has truly transformed my passion for astronomy and deepened my love for space exploration! This app is not just a tool; it’s an immersive experience that brings the night sky to life. The intuitive design makes it easy to identify stars, planets, and constellations with just a glance. I love the detailed information and fascinating facts about each celestial body, which have ignited my ambition to learn more about the universe.What I appreciate most is how Sky Guide makes astronomy accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of expertise. The stunning visuals and engaging interface have made my stargazing sessions not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. It’s inspired me to explore more about space and even consider pursuing it as a hobby.I can’t recommend Sky Guide enough for anyone looking to enhance their understanding and appreciation of the cosmos. It has truly been a guiding star in my journey through the universe!

  • Killer Astro App with amazingly useful localisation

    Designer Dave

    I’ve tried stacks of Astro apps over the years. This absolutely nails it in terms of powerful features packaged in the most elegant and easy to use UI. But the real killer feature is localisation. More often than not this level of detail only works in certain countries or cities - but I was delighted to see it works perfectly for me in Adelaide, Australia. I’m talking really useful info like light pollution, cloud cover and visual magnitude - the type of weather data very specific to astronomy and stargazing. This is presented in a very useful format that’s already filtered to my geo location and doesn’t require interpretation of generic weather and maps. There’s also a range of Astro news that’s timely, well curated, and seamlessly integrated. Love this App!

  • Amazing! Minor improvements could be made

    Solo PvPer

    This app does just about everything, however there’s a few items I feel it misses or could improve. Firstly, adding more asteroids/comets/satellites. There are only some major objects that you can search and find, adding more of these would be great. Secondly it would be fantastic to add in a oxygen 3 and sulphur 2 views (to add to the hydrogen alps view). Finally it would be great if you could set multiple locations as favourites and toggle between them, instead of having to find them each time on the map view.Love everything else about this app!

  • Indispensable

    Benjamin B. Alldtidge

    I’ve tried dozens of pieces of software purporting to do similar things over the years, but never have I found another that does anything remotely close. Not only is it impressively functional in just the right ways and feature-rich for those who want to dive deeper, it’s also visually stunning.It’s become an indispensable piece of my observation toolkit, to the point that everything else has been effectively obsoleted when it comes to planning and wayfinding in the field. I never hesitate to recommend it, and everybody I show immediately understands why.

  • Into-stellar!!

    Speaking now

    Great way to explore the heavens. Constellations appear with a superimposed artwork that captures your imagination (these can also be turned off in settings). Easily to reach information blurbs can be found along side each point of interest. These give you an insight into the background and current knowledge of the object; name, mythology and science information such as star type, size are provided in most cases. I have used this app for years and it will continue to encourage me out side and to look up! 5 celestial beauties out of 5!

  • Updates

    Things?

    I’ve loved this app for ages it’s really cool to be able to visualise a map of stars physically into your space but every so often they take away some of my favourite features for the free version. You used to be able to search for lots and lots of constellations and now it’s brought down to much less they have taken away the ability to see some of my favourite constellations with ease no hate to the devs but could you explain why? If I could I would use the paid version but right now I can’t love the app don’t love some of the updates.
