SkyView® Satellite Guide Positive Reviews

Great App for Spotting and Learning!I've been using this for over a year to learn about and spot dozens of satellites when I'm in the Rocky Mountains away from light pollution. Automatic location and augmented reality both work flawlessly. My all-time favorite sighting was the ISS back-lit by a pre-dawn sky. While I have no complaints about design or function of the app as-is, there's always room for improvement. One suggestion would be the ability to save a log of particular sightings with notes, rather than having to switch apps. It would also be nice to have a more inclusive category (everything) so I could use AR to identify satellites that I find, but that aren't listed in Upcoming Sightings. On moonless nights at 9500ft, I can sometimes spot twelve satellites in an hour when the upcoming and brightest categories only list a couple of significant satellite sightings. If I could, I'd rate it five stars for design and function. Four stars are given because there are some obvious enhancements that I'd like to see..XMontaigneVersion: 1.1.1

Perfect for sky watchersI was with my Dad watching the meteor shower last August and we saw a couple satellites go by. I downloaded this app right then and LOVED the quick access to information. The only way to improve this app is why it is a star short of all 5. The reason is this: you can only view one category of star at a time. For example, you. Can view communications satellites but not military and weather. This, to me, is an unnecessary distinction. Rather, let me see it ALL at once and simple learn about each one as they flow over me and I search for them. Let these categories become FILTERS as opposed to mutually exclusive choices..SmcogerVersion: 1.1.1

Sky ViewThis is about the coolest app I've seen so far. I never knew you could see a satellites or space junk fly overhead with just your naked eye. I've made this somewhat of a hobby, on clear nights to go outside and see just how many satellites or space junk I can find. I think the neighbors think I'm whacked at this point be I sit in the yard looking up at the night sky with smartphone in hand. I've always been interested in science so this is just one more way of expanding that interest. To see a piece of space junk fly overhead moving at 2000 mph and 350 miles up just trips me out. The app gives you so much detail and information on what you're viewing and a detail cartoon picture of the object, makes it well worth the $5 spent..MtDewBobVersion: 1.1.1

Still no Webb TelescopeThe Satellite and Skyview apps are good, but major items like the Webb SPACE Telescope are missing. The App’s data must be really outdated, which is really a bummer. While Skyview is one of the best astronomy apps there is to view planets with, planets have been a round for a while. Humans launch satellites a little more frequently than planets are created, how about an update for one of the most important and significant events in astrology like including something as huge as the James Webb SPACE Telescope. It’s only been a decade or more in development, launched months ago, and now configured and tested and sending pictures back to earth. You want to fall over, then include the Web SPACE telescope and some of it’s hot new pictures. The universe is getting old, let’s do it while it’s still here :).DanH88Version: 1.3.2

Absolutely Fantastic App!Love this app, very well done. Have been looking for an app like this for a while and finally found a winner. A few suggestions for future versions. 1. Allow viewing of sub-categories (ie: Communications->Iridium to just view the Iridium Satellites). 2. Put a button to re-spin the globe like at startup. 3. Allow spinning the globe on the earth's axis (lock in axis in place). 4. Lighten the dark sky areas, very difficult to see most of the world other than what's lit up. An alternate would be to have a switch to turn it to daytime worldwide. I hope you'll consider these suggestions to make your fantastic app even better. Totally love it! Very well done..BP407Version: 1.1.1

Great Viewing AppLove the app! I’m an old timer that started using a program called InstaTrack back in the day. I’ve used this app for awhile now. Many people have commented on letting the display throw everything at you that is in the sky. I believe they developed this precisely to allow you command of the space object catalog without being overwhelmed. As a person becomes more comfortable with looking for objects of interest, the intuitiveness comes in with it. It can be a parlor game, or a tool for more interesting insight. As a space signal monitoring hobbyist, this is one of many tools in my go-bag..VrxyxcryuioVersion: 1.3.2

Great app!!!Does exactly what I needed. Two things though. One is that the search doesn’t seem to bring up the satellite I’m interested in. If I find it by category and then type the exact name in, search doesn’t find it. The other, would be nice for a future release, would be if the user could enter a two line element set for an object not in the database..Art7512Version: 1.2.2

I cannot believe my eyes!This app is one of those apps that is just amazing and mind blowing. From literally over 20k satellites to all the different ways you can search, find, and see satellites EASILY I just don't know why this isn't #1 app. The producers of this app deserve every award possible. I love all the facts, and classifications for EACH satellite! But probably my favorite part is all the satellites I have found with this app. Last night I found a rocketbody. Not just one but SEVERAl! Also, the 3D picture is amazing. I dont know how to thank you more!.TannerScottMartinVersion: 1.1.1

Great satellite appDoes a great job of helping you identify what that satellite that just passed overhead and helps you plan upcoming viewings. Excellent app with a great "augmented reality" viewing mode where you point your phone at the sky and you get an overlay of all of the objects of a specific category of object passing into view. Only way to improve the app would be to have a "view all" mode and instead of having to pick the specific category you want to look for overhead at a given time..Drevil007Version: 1.1.1

DossapointedI was hoping this app would allow me to look up, find an object moving across the sky, then point my phone that way and voilla, identify what it was. Unfortunately, everytime I do, it says there's nothing visible. Umm, wrong. Its pointless to have to try to quickly check through each of the different types of objects to try and quickly find it. One would think it would show in the bbrightestcategory, or check no box and it would show all of them in your field of view. So far I find the app to be crap for what I wanted it for..DormdwellerVersion: 1.1.1

Love this appIncredible information about what I am seeing in the sky. Fun to identify what stars and planets I am looking at and what is beyond the clouds. Sad to see how much junk is out there though. Looks like we are polluting space like we are polluting down here on earth. I now believe that the biggest danger in space travel will be getting hit with our trash we have left behind..Watching at the beachVersion: 1.3.2

SatsI really enjoy this app. I use it on a daily basis. It doesnt get much easier than point & read,i tell ya. Ive shown it to many of my friends, and they were immediately addicted. My kids also like it. Press on guys. Youre doing a great job. The only improvement you could make, in my mind, would be to get the compass tweaked. Often times here in Detroit, the ISS, seems to be either ahead or behind time. I love this app!!!!.BigskybratVersion: 1.1.1

I wish I could display the Chinese space station and the ISS at the same timeI will give this Tri-quarter app five stars because I’m able to track each station individually. I wish I could have both at the same time. Also, the app says the Tiangong is no longer orbiting??? Which it is. The updates haven’t corrected this error..Tiangong space stationVersion: 1.3.2

Great app!Is it possible to enter exact coordinates (not just the nearest large city) when there is no Wifi, and is there a setting for the iPad to remember your last location, or even several favorite locations? I don't see a way to do this, but may have overlooked something. Otherwise, this is a fantastic app! Excellent educational tool when teaching about satellites..BGneiss7Version: 1.1.1

Amazing... WOW!First app I've ever bought that cost over a buck and it's worth every bit of $3.00. The graphics, user interface, detailed data and notification features all exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this app for anyone who gazes up at night and wonders what that bright dot is moving overhead. Seriously, this app is amazing. Thank you developers, please keep up the great work..A-podaVersion: 1.1.1

Works in iOS 11 nowThis app is awesome but it doesn’t work with iOS 11. I’m still giving 5 stars because it will probably be fixed soon. Edit: seeing as the last update was 3 years ago and iOS 11 has been out for months this app likely won’t work for a long time. Edit 2 thankfully the app was updated, works fine. 5 stars..Seattle vacationVersion: 1.2.2

Ok but...I used to use satellite tracker and the thing I liked about it is it showed up coming near passes and the elevation and azimuth but this application doesn't do that and it would be a nice bonus. I read somewhere that it supposed to pop up with an alert when you have an upcoming near pass of anything in your favorites especially the international space station which comes straight down my street. Does it do that or is that my imagination?.SquirrellyHVersion: 1.1.1

Amazing and trustworthy and helpfulThis app is really fun to use for me because I am in 5th grade and my favorite subject is Science, the solar system, (etc.) you name it! I know this app is true because when I see the moon outside at night/evening I see the moon then I look at Sky View and see the real thing! Satellites is fun too, but Sky View is this👌much better!.Mar-Mar 😜😂😎😈Version: 1.1.1

Great, Educational for sky viewersHave been watching The sky for probably 25 years, sitting out at the coast. With this app it's even better to know the names or numbers of what your seeing go over head, wish this had been around a long time ago, highly recommended for anyone interested in looking up..Old Time MoviesVersion: 1.1.1

By far the best!By far the best satellite watching app available. The only thing I was even slightly disappointed with was the surprise that the "point your iPhone at the sky" feature is only available on phones with a built in compass, but this was no problem for me because I have both..Toasterz12Version: 1.1.1

Good AppAs a working satellite industry professional this app as helped me numerous times in the field. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that they don't update their database often; which is quite easy as NORAD publishes daily. Other than that, a great app..SatelliteCitySeattleVersion: 1.1.1

Awesome and accurate too!I love this app so much! Me and my dad use this app at night to watch satellites pass over our house the app is a little behind tough but that's expected but I kind of like it being behind a bit so we can put the phone down and know exactly where it will fly by, Thanks for this awesome app! <3.ThelegobotVersion: 1.1.1

SkyViewThis app is awesome, I can't wait until nightfall to go out with this app. Until I got this app, I had no idea there was so much stuff in space to watch fly over and be so easy to see. I can't wait to take this camping where it is super dark and there is much much more to see in the sky. Thank you for the awesome app..Snapper489Version: 1.1.1

Wonderful AppI use this app most every night I am out. Currently tracking the space station. They are transmitting slow scan TV photos for everyone on earth to capture for the own photo library. Thanks for a great App. Is this available for desktop computers??.1dtbVersion: 1.3.2

Ok but not integratedSkyview and Satellites are good programs but why are they not integrated with each other? They're sold as a bundle. Seems to me when you select one thing you should be able to get additional information from the other app but you can't. Must leave one app and go to the other app. Slow, awkward, unsophisticated. Satellites last update was 2014, getting a little stale..DRARPVersion: 1.1.1

Just an incredible appThe way this app invisibly places a wealth of magic data and imagery into your palms is unbelievable. Out of the park, just incredible. I downloaded this app a year ago and am still floored. Everyone I show this app to is amazed. Really shows you the amount of metal floating around our home. Bravo..SnewpoVersion: 1.1.1

Please update for iOS 11This is a perfect app for finding satellites. I keep getting the message that it's going to not work in iOS 11. I know Skyview shows some of the same information but I can't get the view of the Earth with the satellites orbiting it. Skyview only shows the augmented reality view..AppReviewPhDVersion: 1.1.1

Missing a KEY featureAs others have mentioned, it s a great app with lots of content, BUT it falls somewhat flat on a key scenario - AR view. As user, here’s what I expect. I tap AR view and all satellites that I could possibly see are vIsible / highlighted in AR view. Often I see something that might be a satellite and I want to see which satellite it is, quickly. Unfortunately, to check all satellites possible, I need to flip between like 8 different categories in AR view (communications, navigation, etc) making this scenario extremely painful. The app also hasn’t noticeably changed or improved in years, so 3 stars. But I’d love to give it 5 stars if it can handle this use case!.AerodynoVersion: 1.3.2

Good but could be betterIt is a great app and all but it could use some more detail. It would be better if the earth had more detail and the debris was more detailed. Though the same animation design was used for a few times for different satellites. Over all it's great!.ThatGuy0008Version: 1.1.1

Fantastic AppI'm cheep but did paid for the extra features of this app. Been using it to track satellites for HAM radio contacts. This app has a lot of them but not all. So far it has been vary accurate. Note to app developers: Please add more amateur satellites. Especially those that support VHF & UHF FM..DieselHAMVersion: 1.1.1

Get This AppAll I can say is "WOW" These people make some of the best apps. Love Skyview, When you open one of these apps they just pull you right in and it's as if your on a wonderful tour. And the price is fantastic." Thank You " for making these apps. Please keep on doing what your doing..JinksnyouVersion: 1.1.1

Please AddWould like to see a way to add a feature to automatically tell the time where you are at when passing features appear. Also a direction of the satellite travel and approx degree of height. Otherwise 5 stars plus.Love The DrummerVersion: 1.1.1

This is a must haveFinally, an app that has everything I've been looking for. Satellite tracking, good calibration, and extensive information on what you're observing. I've spotted dozens of objects within a week of having it, it works great..TberbVersion: 1.1.1

WOWThe level of detail in this app is astounding! I've used websites and other apps to track sats and nothing else comes close. I took one look at this app and then bought another copy as a gift. My friend will certainly be blown away as well. Awesome awesome awesome!!.Aixelsyd007Version: 1.1.1

Very EnlighteningIt's wonderful to have such a versatile and informative tool to enable awareness of all the various metal objects and business/government interests that exist directly over our heads. Please update the app to comply with current Apple technology though so I don't lose it!.Arevee65Version: 1.1.1

Very nice app!Great design, very easy to figure out after a few minutes of working with it. Only problem I have is that there's no iPad (Universal) version of this app, I love using the big screen. Otherwise, great work!.Big Ben KidVersion: 1.1.1

Please update to iOS 11Apples nazi gestapo regimen requires you to push forward. Your app no longer works since the recent brainwashing update. Look forward to seeing it in action again..LensenjVersion: 1.1.1

Awesome!Love it. Yeah sure, the textures could be a higher quality, but the visuals are not what makes this a 5 star, it's the wealth of information included. Well done!! Can tell the developers were dedicated to make this happen..Hun73r86Version: 1.1.1

Great appVery helpful!! I've being using this app around the world, sometimes still during the flight!!! Works perfectly!!!.Jkiko11Version: 1.3.2

3 ratingWhy gave a three star rating, at first I was able to see the pictures of the debris now I only see the color dots for the debris and I can’t find how to set it again if that’s possible or else it would have been 5 rating.Ginney SVersion: 1.3.2

Fantastic educational app!Really enjoy this app for its forecasting and tracking. It greatly aids in the finding of objects like the International Space Station. Keeps the kids involved. Makes looking up at the night sky fun and full of wonder. We are there. We are there. We are there..Ari5tophanesVersion: 1.1.1

So close to being 5 StarsHonestly it looks amazing. And is very useful if you want to see where a particular satellite is in the sky in real time. Unfortunately the search by text function seems not actually search satellites. Even with that deficiency it would get 5 stars from me if you could just set up multiple favourite categories. Better yet if it could let you browse satellite constellations like Argos which is made up of satellites with very different names. When you read the description it does say whether a satellite is Argos, but the link takes you to an unrelated satellite by the same name. I think this deserves more than 3 stars and I do not regret the purchase but these issues should be fairly easy to fix and vastly improve the app for anyone who really needs to know satellite location in real time. Footprint would be a good addition as well for anyone doing satellite communication. That combined with more sophisticated satellite management could justify a higher price “pro” version. It is cool to see all the satellites I’m not specifically interested in, but I would rather choose between favourite groups I choose than categories of hundreds or thousands of satellites at a time..Jeff RFVersion: 1.2.2

SkyView® Satellite Guide Negative Reviews

They ruined a great appBefore the changes they made recently this was a cool app now it is the ugly twin of Skyview. It used to be a view looking at the earth so you could see any object circling earth with earth as the background, you could use your fingers and move the earth to find any object. Now the view is from the earth to the sky just like SkyView and you have to move your body around and point your phone to the sky to find the object you want to locate, that is stupid. Whoever first programmed this app a few years ago when I bought it was a genius. Whoever updated it recently is an idiot. Give me back the Satellite View I purchased not this SkyView clown I mean clone!.Wont be fooled again alsoVersion: 1.3

Search Function BrokenTry to search for Satellites that I know are in the database, but the app says "no results". For example with the Saudisat satellites: type "Saudi" into the search bar, and you get "no results". However Saudisat SO-50 is in the database, you just have to browse through all the categories of Satellites until you find it; but you can't find it using the search tool. This is a serious impediment to using this app. Try searching for ISS or Zarya, and you get "no results". This would be a 10 star app if the search function worked..WhoMeWhyMeVersion: 1.2.2

Very confusing, no directions on how to use this appI got this hoping to point it at the satellites I see in the night sky and be able to find out what they are. It does not seem to work that way. Such a waste of money, I can’t get it to give me any information unless I already know what type of satellites I want to see??? Such a waste, it really should come with specific instructions on how to get it to work. Looking for a refund.👎.BigRed OliveVersion: 1.3.2

Bad update!!!So before, you used to be able to see the entire earth and scroll around to see the satellites in the sky. Now you CAN’T! Please fix this. You can only get a view from only where you stand and you have to move your phone around to find stuff. Very annoying. All there was is a simple button that changed from a personal view to an earth view. The button is gone! Please update it and add it back!!!.Gamer-193842Version: 1.3

Wow- abysmal...What happened? No longer do I have a view of the earth , showing the map of the satellites and their paths across its view. This renders this app nearly useless. Just frustrating now. That’s all it is. One single essential button now missing. Perhaps it is only a bug affecting SE iPhones... if that is the case I can only pray you do an patch that resolves it. If it is a new “feature “ then the app is no longer of any use..CavauntVersion: 1.3

IncomprehensibleNo directions given, there's a tutorial but all I could manage was to reset it, not view it. Strange.StephnchuckVersion: 1.3.2

Lots of potentialI got this app while star gazing with my wife. Wanted to know what each satellite was that we could see zooming above. Unfortunately it does not do that. You have to try and guess what category of 8 the satellite might be. Military, communication, weather, etc. And then search the sky. Most of the time we could not find it because by the time we got to the right category it would be gone. This app is great for finding and learning about a specific satellite. But is frustrating for identifying that moving dot across the night sky..PGE modellerVersion: 1.3.2

Used to be good, but no longer updated.This was a great app, but it hasn't been updated in years (thus, missing tons of data, and the data that is there is outdated, so app no longer accurate).
