SkySafari contains more astronomy knowledge than a lot of beginners books. I absolutely love it, and it is very well organized, so learning is easy. I am only on the free version, but there already is so much to discover. Anyway, I certainly will buy the complete version to support the great work behind this app !

The compass tool gives a handy overview. However, the Tonight section is totally inaccurate. Maybe it changes in the paid version but there's no indication that this is not current data. There is currently a major conjunction in Capricorn but the app tells me those planers are in Sagittarius.

I have a love hate relationship with the app ..it has been way off lately ...it showed the atlas c23 comet low to the horizon amd further to the sw of where it truly was. I was using the app to locate it had it not been for my neighbor seeing it do west and 1/3 up in the sky ..i would have missed seeing it as the app was considerably off and has been the last few times ive been looking for night objects..it used to be spot on but not the last few times sadly.. but it easy to use so thats nice...

Starting popping up advertising notifications without asking me to opt in. I paid for this app, but it's now crippled because I have to block all notifications to make sure I don't get advertisements.

I like it, live sky works well especially when my hand stops shaking. But as a quick and easy planetarium works well.

I just installed and while I like the graphic interface, I immediately noticed that the sun now rises in the west apparently. I tried toying with the compass settings, but no matter what it seems to think the rising sun is in the west. We all know better! What is wrong with it?!

Well with a 5 star approval, I'm surely up for the next flight to Mars in 2035, mind you, I noted intergalactic interference roughly 2 months before we're due to return to earth and I don't want to be caught up in the wake.

Excellent for beginners, like myself, I've always have looked up towards the heavens, wondering why, who, what, where, and when, the mysteries, just the vastness of astronomy,.. This app, gives me the ability to put a name, a profile, professional easy to navigate application, to sum it up, I love this App it's truly amazing... Great achievement SkySafari Legacy Creators ..
