5/5Awesome app with tons of great features & support!
I’ve been recently comparing Astronomy viewing apps and Night Sky has now become my definitive go-to stargazing app. Immediately after downloading & installing the app I purchased a yearly subscription for only $9.99 because the “Night Sky Tonight” feature is a MUST have for anyone serious about nighttime gazing. Not only does it show an animation of what you’ll be able to see that night, it also lists the planets with their rises & sets, satellites, viewing conditions, pollution map & nearby dark sites. Their “Get Info” button for everything takes you to a page full of extensive details & additional photos of the object. The Apple Widget is perfect for letting me know current viewing conditions and with a graphical representation of when it will be optimum. Their notifications are also some of the best I’ve experienced, spanning, not only, news about objects to currently view, but viewing conditions as well. Then there’s basic, but very nice unique features, like the pseudo horizon cityscape and the ability to share objects you’re viewing. They also have a built-in photo app with special nighttime camera features not even found in Apple’s own camera app. I love my Apple Watch & some apps fail, but not Night Sky! Raise your wrist to identify objects, lower it & you’ll get a compass and an overview of the objects you can currently see. Then spin the crown forwards or backwards and watch as you can time travel the viewable objects around you. Overall it’s an absolutely incredible app for novices & serious amateur astronomers alike! You won’t be disappointed!

5/5EXCELLENT
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.

4/5Good but a little too much
If u want an app that shows u what u can see in the sky, this is decent, but it also shows u so many other things u can’t see in the sky, that are way far away. Then they make those things just as bright on the map as the things u can see in the sky. So sometimes you are clicking from star to star, staring in the sky, really having to figure out what star you are looking at. Other times like with a planet it’s obviously simple. This app would be perfect for an astrology student or scientist. But for the average person, they need to make it so the closest and brightest objects in the sky are the brightest objects on the sky map to make it easier to figure out which star you are seeing. I really like how they show the constellations, tell you when something is rising and setting, and much more. It also gives you extremely detailed and scientific information that the average person won’t understand, so the information could be presented a littler simpler, and that’s coming from san intelligent person. Like I said, this app is heaven for a scientist. Overall, I use it and like it, but it could be a little easier to use, and planet and star descriptions could be written better. It’s almost like they take all the most detailed scientific jargon they can find and jam it into as many paragraphs as they can instead of presenting the information in a scientific yet digestible way. I’m not saying dumb the info down, but make it more fun to read. I love the planets, stars, and everything in the sky, so if I feel this way, I know others do too. Last thing is the sky map is always a few degrees off of the compass on your phone and you will need to adjust it. Otherwise when you point at something it’ll appear slightly to the left or right on your sky map.

5/5Brilliant 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!

3/5Missing 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?! 🤷‍♂️

          "title": "Awesome app with tons of great features & support!",
          "body": "I’ve been recently comparing Astronomy viewing apps and Night Sky has now become my definitive go-to stargazing app. Immediately after downloading & installing the app I purchased a yearly subscription for only $9.99 because the “Night Sky Tonight” feature is a MUST have for anyone serious about nighttime gazing. Not only does it show an animation of what you’ll be able to see that night, it also lists the planets with their rises & sets, satellites, viewing conditions, pollution map & nearby dark sites. Their “Get Info” button for everything takes you to a page full of extensive details & additional photos of the object. The Apple Widget is perfect for letting me know current viewing conditions and with a graphical representation of when it will be optimum. Their notifications are also some of the best I’ve experienced, spanning, not only, news about objects to currently view, but viewing conditions as well. Then there’s basic, but very nice unique features, like the pseudo horizon cityscape and the ability to share objects you’re viewing. They also have a built-in photo app with special nighttime camera features not even found in Apple’s own camera app. I love my Apple Watch & some apps fail, but not Night Sky! Raise your wrist to identify objects, lower it & you’ll get a compass and an overview of the objects you can currently see. Then spin the crown forwards or backwards and watch as you can time travel the viewable objects around you. Overall it’s an absolutely incredible app for novices & serious amateur astronomers alike! You won’t be disappointed!",

          "body": "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.",

          "body": "If u want an app that shows u what u can see in the sky, this is decent, but it also shows u so many other things u can’t see in the sky, that are way far away. Then they make those things just as bright on the map as the things u can see in the sky. So sometimes you are clicking from star to star, staring in the sky, really having to figure out what star you are looking at. Other times like with a planet it’s obviously simple. This app would be perfect for an astrology student or scientist. But for the average person, they need to make it so the closest and brightest objects in the sky are the brightest objects on the sky map to make it easier to figure out which star you are seeing. I really like how they show the constellations, tell you when something is rising and setting, and much more. It also gives you extremely detailed and scientific information that the average person won’t understand, so the information could be presented a littler simpler, and that’s coming from san intelligent person. Like I said, this app is heaven for a scientist. Overall, I use it and like it, but it could be a little easier to use, and planet and star descriptions could be written better. It’s almost like they take all the most detailed scientific jargon they can find and jam it into as many paragraphs as they can instead of presenting the information in a scientific yet digestible way. I’m not saying dumb the info down, but make it more fun to read. I love the planets, stars, and everything in the sky, so if I feel this way, I know others do too. Last thing is the sky map is always a few degrees off of the compass on your phone and you will need to adjust it. Otherwise when you point at something it’ll appear slightly to the left or right on your sky map.",

          "body": "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!",

          "body": "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?! 🤷‍♂️",
