Description

SkySafari is a powerful planetarium that fits in your pocket, puts the universe at your fingertips, and is incredibly easy to use!
Simply hold your device to the sky and quickly locate planets, constellations, satellites, and millions of stars and deep sky objects. Use Augmented Reality (AR) mode to blend a simulated sky chart with a real view of your surroundings.
Packed with interactive information and rich graphics, discover why SkySafari 6 is your perfect stargazing companion under the night sky.
Here's what's new in version 6:
1) Complete support for iOS 13 and iPhone 11. We got you covered and release regular updates.
2) Clouds and Astronomy. Two words that rarely go together. Rewritten from the ground up, SkySafari 6 will (optionally) back up all your settings files and make it easily accessible to multiple devices as well as from our new web interface, LiveSky.com.
3) Say It. Ever just wanted to just yell at your device and tell it what to do!? SkySafari 6 adds basic voice control for a wide range of operations. Say “select Jupiter,” “search for Titan,” “center on Polaris” and SkySafari will do the work for you. Yelling optional. 
4) Redesigned toolbar with ability to hide
5) Configurable font sizes
6) Better control of magnitude limits
7) Improved databases
8) Better updating of Comets and Asteroids  (more recent data)
9) Better Moon display when zoomed out
If you haven't used SkySafari 6 before, here's what you can do with it:
• Hold your device up, and SkySafari will find stars, constellations, planets, and more! The star chart updates automatically with your real time movements for the ultimate stargazing experience.
• See an eclipse now, in the past or in the future! Simulate the night sky from anywhere on Earth many years in the past or in the future! Animate meteor showers, comet approaches, transits, conjunctions, and other celestial events with SkySafari’s Time Flow.
• Locate the Sun, Moon, or Mars from our extensive database and track the arrow to be directed to their exact locations in the sky before you. See spectacular views of Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and other planets!
• Learn about the history, mythology, and science of the heavens! Browse from hundreds of object descriptions, astronomical photographs, and NASA spacecraft images in SkySafari. Explore tons of NASA Space Missions! Stay up-to-date with SkyWeek, for all major sky events every day – miss nothing!
• 120,000 stars; over 200 star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies; all major planets and moons, and dozens of asteroids, comets, and satellites including the International Space Station (ISS).
• Animated meteor showers with complete viewing information & spectacular graphics.
• Orbit Mode – Leave the Earth’s surface behind, and fly like a NASA space probe through the solar system. Requires in-app purchase.
• Night Vision – Preserves your eyesight after dark.
• Apple Maps Integration – Choose your location from a built-in Maps view.
• Horizon Panoramas – choose from beautiful built-in vistas, or customize your own!
• Much more!
Optional Features:
Cosmos Collection: In-app purchase allows you to travel to other planets and stars, visualize the 3-D location of deepsky objects in our galaxy, and listen to hours of audio guided tours of the heavens. The Cosmos Collection includes:
Orbit Mode
Lift off from the Earth and travel to the planets, moons and stars.
Guided Audio Tours
Listen to more than four hours of audio narration to learn the history, mythology, and science of the heavens.

I first end used SkySafari on Mac Book in 2011 and found it a superb way to explore night sky. Bought it to show my grandson used an old iPad 3, I chose it because Augmented Reality is a great tool for youngsters. Nothing in the App description about there features being limited. Please put a warning up have wasted hours looking for nonexistent AR.

Downloaded to help a new hobby stargazing and on paying and opening it announced I could buy packs twice within seconds. Locked my phone and reopened the app an it asks if I want to spend £23 on the premium app. I don’t mind in app purchases but come on, this takes the biscuit.

There is a fifth magnitude Comet Swan in the sky, discovered a few weeks ago, but it has still not been added to the database. You can only add comets yourself in the advanced/pro versions.

Have tried many night sky apps and this is the best. Used it to find exactly where Mercury was last week so that I could go out and view it. Came across it in ‘All about Space’ magazine. Like the background music as well. Still exploring it but so far so good.

I am disable so more often than not I am unable to make the best of my telescope, SkySafary has gifted me the opportunity not only to see what is above at night when I cannot due to health or heavy clouds but also what is all around me during daytime
I could not be without it. Thank you for your wonderful BIG gift, you have given me the Cosmo as seen from my post code.. what could be better than that.

A great app but where do the comets go?

I use this app quite a bit to see where targets will be at certain times including the moon.
The one thing that bugs me is having to delete and reinstall due to the list of bright comets being empty. After reinstalling the comets are back for a short time.🤔

I have enjoyed using this so far, worth paying £3.99 to upgrade features.
Certainly cheaper than sky guide’s yearly subscription of £10 for similar features. I do use both though!

I use this fantastic app on an almost nightly basis (spotting deep space objects, clusters, planets etc) and find it invaluable.
The wealth of info is astounding, and really helps to encourage exploring the night sky.
The design and usability is also spot on.
An incredibly well developed app.
P.s. V minor suggestion, I would love a shortcut button on the menu bar / time slider that could jump to the “dusk end” of that particular day.
Great stuff, top marks.

Excellent software

Tried around 15 different astronomy apps before I find this one. It does everything I want, is quick and accurate. Do give it a try and you'll see what I mean. Bill

I purchased SkySafari+ a while back and it was excellent but it stoped working and was waiting for an update for it to work on my iPad. Would have been nice to be warned it wasn’t going to be updated and offered the new version.

Been using Sky Safari for some time now. I don’t think there is any other app that comes close to it. So much info included within the app. A must have if you have an interest in all things space.

I downloaded the app thinking it would be an upgrade to Celestron SkyPortal. It functions in exactly the same way, but there is no scope control. I’ve deleted the app and asked for my money back.
