    The use of this app has led me to one of my favorite hobbies and has brought new meaning to the night sky. Learning the constellations (and other celestial objects) has helped me to better appreciate the universe and better enjoy the second half of each day. LOVE it.

    First off, I love this app but I want to know why the app is showing the sun and moon in Pisces and not Aries? I am a Astrologer and I know where the planets should be according to the ephemeris. Can you explain this please? Thanks in advance.
  • I like.

    It’s been a good app. Recently I needed to reset the location permissions for my (17.4.1 iOS) phone, and now the app is no longer showing in Location Settings. I’m guessing that may be fixed again eventually.
  • I love SkyView!

  • My Go-To sky watching astronomy app

    SkyView is an essential for anyone who wants to know what that bright light in the sky might be. I have opened the app and been surprised to find a whole bunch of planets all stacked on top of each other - it called a conjunction - and it’s kind of mind blowing to see it all displayed across the sky for you to see just by holding your phone up to the sky (or down, there are stars all around us!) This is one of my must-have apps.
