1. 5/5🤯 🪐 ✨☄️🌘☀️🤯SkyView is AWESOME!!!

   🤯😵‍💫🫨🤯😵‍💫🫨🤯😵‍💫🫨 I had a very long and well written positive review about this amazing free Milky Way celestial body app moments ago. Unfortunately, as I wrote my final sentence, the App Store app suddenly timed me out 😑 and sent me to the Home Screen, splattering my glorious words into oblivion. Basically this is the absolute A1, cream de la crème, king of kings, Lord of all space apps in regards to being free and providing accurately delicious information. Easy, fun and practical to use the app while educating our simple little minds simultaneously. Puts the colossal immensity of space into our palms while perfectly putting things into perspective as life’s problems shrink to grains of sand when compared to the cosmos. I wish to convey my deepest, most sincere gratitude toward SkyView’s developers as they have tremendously helped me in more ways than I would have imagined through using this app. Also the free Lite version is all I have ever needed and I commend them further for not constantly badgering me to pay for anything except for a subtle suggestion to upgrade now and then which is understandable. Thanks again for bringing the heavens into our homes. God bless everyone involved in this wonderful feat of programming 🙏🙏🙏

2. 5/5One of the main reasons I use my phone

   I have used this app for a couple years now, and I cannot say that there is an app I have used for the same amount of time that has brought me more joy, excitement, and satisfaction than this one. It allows my never ending curiosity to be aided in a way that leads to discovery. Which I think is absolutely awesome. I would call myself an amateur astrophotographer, and this app helps me out a bunch. It is also really helpful to be reading a section of the textbook for my current astronomy class, and be able to whip this app out and find what star or galaxy we are talking about. I do wish it would give you a better look into the future, being able to project where certain stars, galaxies, or nebulae will be in a larger scope of time. I am practicing taking shots of the heart of the milkyway, but I still have about a month or two until it will be near that time where I live. I'd like to be able to plan a bit more for my shots, so I end up on safari searching for the right info to help me out. I feel that would be a modest addition to the app.

3. 4/5Virtual Reality

   I love this app. I really have found it useful in many different time during the beginning of my curiosity into astronomy began. For example, this app has allowed me to locate Saturn and view the planet with the rings right through my backyard telescope On multiple occasions. This app allows for an immersive and breathtaking experience, on an encounter with the stars. However, I do believe the app is lacking a fundamental component that, in 2017, it should already have. I believe this app should have virtual reality integrated into its game face. In order to allow users to obtain a more integrated, breathtaking, and interactive view with the stars. It sometimes seems as well, that be in large constellations often block the view of any stars, I suggest setting that can rid of the constellation tracing. Finally, do you speak on any specifics. I would suggest an option to change the music tomorrow relaxing and euphoric socks. Other than that the app is wonderful and has been used by myself another friends for months.

4. 5/5Explore your surroundings!

   I love being able to open this app whenever I see a star or constellation that I want to know more about or become familiar with. I’ve used this app on and off for a few years now but in the last few months with so much more dark time in the northern hemisphere, I have used it almost daily. I like to quiz myself and the app helps me grade my responses. I also use it to teach my two year old about the wonders in the night sky. We love it! Her favorite star: Vega. My favorite star(s): The winter triangle; Sirius, Betelgeuse, and Procyon. I love the option to display or hide constellation lines or artwork, and love that I can either show or hide the actual surroundings that my camera can see. This app is great, I highly recommend it. There’s almost nothing I would change about it except maybe if there was a way to add a link in the facts area of a selected object to either the Wikipedia page or some other information source for further knowledge exploration.

5. 5/5Must Download it’s awesome

   I was skeptical of how good of an app something like this could be. I’ve always been highly interested in the stars, constellations and space in general so was very pleased and love using this app. I was more so pleased to see the fun and excitement my 5 yr old son has when we go out on the back porch and use this app together. He is amazed by all of it. As I said I’m into space so that edged him on some but he really is into it and explains and ask questions about things most 20 yr olds haven’t thought about he may be at NASA one day. His grandfather was retired army and air force but also worked many years in cape Canaveral Florida and saw many launches as well as was part of a tech team charting and other things for NASA and military test launched at that time. He instilled a lot of excitement about space in the both of us before passing so it’s kinda like spending time with him as well. One of the first things my son said was this reminds me of looking through paw paws telescope. So amazing app and hope this review helps the SkyView team. I myself still have dreams or a drive to get involved somehow with a organization or NASA really in any way possible and happen to be now looking a new career path. Long story short some major surgery took me out of my electrician field of 15 years and had around 2 years now 3 post to recover which I’m now doing great and eager to go again and am kind of inspired by the app. If anyone at skyview has an idea or info on where to look or can give an direction or anything about how to possible please contact me and share I’d be extremely interested. Currently live in the middle of N.C pretty much again I hope the review heals you guys at skyview as well as encourages others to download it as it is very much so worth it maybe do me a favor as well which I kinda explained above. Everyone reading have a good day or night and have a great time “Searching the stars”
