Ratings and Reviews
Must have app for humans
People are constantly looking down in their mobile screens while all the magic happens above their heads. This app helps you explore the cosmos in a way you’ve never seen before. I’ve clicked pictures of Venus, Jupiter and Mars right from my iPhone just because I can spot them and prepare for the best viewing time. Call me a lunatic if you want, but I use Skyview much more than I use Google Maps. Haha. You guys undoubtedly deserve 5 stars 🌟
App is great but some issues and suggestions
Some issues are there. I get that you are trying to make money so are putting offers, but there are too few space objects. We can’t even see Uranus and Neptune! And only very few stars are there and also the galaxies and nebulae and all. Still, I like this app, but another issue is that we should be able to zoom in and land on it and see it’s material, the layers, it’s atmospheric pressure, and all those stuff. Another suggestion, we should be able to change the planets details like size, mass, material, etc. for fun and try terraforming it. It would be really nice if we could also load our own objects if we want. These last two are only suggestions, rest are NEEDED upgrades. If you could add these it would be amazing other than these the app is amazing but because it doesn’t meet my expectations it’s only 3 stars bye! (Btw, the celestial objects are not having accurate positions, I know it).
Simply Awesome
There are apps which serve more or less the same purpose. But this app goes an extra mile. It takes care of every minute detail and surprises you with features. One such instance is that it shows travel path of object in focus and they do not stop here. They go in detail to show moving direction by showing dots and solid lines on different sides of object path.
