Best app on the market for stargazing. I give it a 5 stars, although the latest version has a serious bug: versions up to 6.7.3 supported the astro_position intend, permitting other apps like Starlog to send a goto command to Skeye Pro in order to go to a location. This does not work in the latest release. Could you pleaae advise?

Love the detail and thought that went into this app - it's by far my favorite to use when I'm out with my Dobsonian observing...no electronics on the scope so between this and my telrad I'm pretty much set! I've used the free version enough to want the extra stars and anything else is just bonus :)

This is a great app. I highly recommend buying the pro version. I had the pro version for a year now. And this the best planetarium app without paying a small fortune for some other apps that are similar.

Especially love the ability to use it as a go to on the telescope

It now works well with Android Marshmallow on my Nexus 6P. I was a bit dismayed that it didn't track the sky till the update.

Love this app. I have been looking for a way to predict when a satellite is going to cross in front of the moon. I have seen it twice in recent months through a telescope and I am looking forward to catching it on camera. This app will make it easy. I also love being able to use it for DSC. I think anything that helps me to use the green laser less will be appreciated by all the pilots in the greater metro area. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This app provides so much information in such a crisp clear manner that now I won't think of going observing without it! Worth every penny and more!

Compared to Stellarium, this app sucks

One thing particular to SkEye is the ability to rotate everywhere using 2 fingers, like in Google Map. Once you try SkEye it is very hard to use other similar apps that do not rotate freely like SkEye. Another thing particular to SkEye is the ability to adjust the brightness/opacity of names/labels and lines, stars and objects. This allows you to declutter the map to your liking and allows you to turn your phone display brightness to a minimum, thus preserving battery life. SkEye is a joy to use!

I've been using this excellent app for a while now and wouldn't be without it!. Accurate and absolutely loaded with information. A must have tool for every astronomers toolkit. Great job.

This is an excellent planetarium program. I still prefer Sky Safari 4 PRO for wireless telescope control but this is great with non driven or non-electronically guided DOBS. I have a ASUS T-700 Android Tablet that has a compass....I also have a Samsung 12" tablet and SKEYE works fine on both. I had the free version for a long time but decided to upgrade to support the programmer and to add the few new features. Wish it had a description of the various objects. For that Sky Safari is superior and also shows images of the objects.

SkEye has the correct balance of sophistication controls and simplicity of on screen display so that it has become my go to app for all night sky viewing. I have also successfully attached my phone to my telescope (a 10" Dobson) and used the PushTo feature of this app to find and observe night time objects I would never of seen without the assistance. An intuitive and powerful app that transforms my telescope into a goto without the cost of motors, computer or expensive software.

J70%
by J####:

This is the best App I've bought. My wish list would be to be able to get information on whatever object I've got locked-on. Let's say, another button somewhere up near the top of the screen, would bring up a little information from a database. Update: Had payed version for about 3 months, still works flawlessly.

Use it with my setting circles and inclinometer and I'm able to find pretty much anything. Great for finding the faint fuzzies in light polluted skies.

This was a great program but now I can't align it to anything. Constantly wanders, can't determine directions, tells me zenith in straight down. And I am getting the same error on my Galaxy tab pro 8.4 table. and Galaxy s5 phone.
