Mich ärgern zwei Sachen!

• ★★☆☆☆   rudluc 7 years ago ( v 4.5.3 )

Vorab: Die App hat eine sehr gute Qualität und viele Funktionen für Hobby-Astronomen. Aber: Ich ärgere mich, dass der Hersteller jedes Jahr eine neue kostenpfllichtige (teure) Version herausbringt, anstatt die vorherige upzudaten. Das ist für mich Geldschneiderei, zumal der Kauf der Pro-Version nicht gerade billig ist. Außerdem würde ich mir bei dem hohen Preis wünschen, dass es wenigstens ein paar unterstützte Sprachen gibt. Ich habe es nun mal lieber in meiner Muttersprache.

I never rate apps

Though, I had to for this one. Amazing. $60 well spent. My son, daughter and I are glued to it. Best experienced on a large, iPad Pro. Very well done. Congrats!

Beautiful!!!

I cant even cal myself an amateur astronomer. I just like to look at the skies and this app is an amazing tool. Plus it is fun just look at the app and explore the sky virtually.

The best

• ★★★★★   CarverED 7 years ago ( v 4.5.3 )

SkySafari is the best astronomy app out there. I use it with my Celestron GOTO telescope. The WiFi in the scope connects with SkySafari to control the scope. The many features in SkySafari will satisfy a beginner as well as an advanced astronomer. I highly recommend it. Used on an iPhone, mini or full size iPad it awesome.

Super complet

I love this app It s awsome. I had skysafari pro3 in french, how can i have pro4 also in french?

Too much bugs

• ★★☆☆☆   BorisAEM 10 years ago ( v 4.0 )

Too much bugs in this version. The app quits frequently in various circumstances. The Time bar disappears after a search. Even the menu bars quits sometimes. Too expensive for such an imperfect version. I will continue using the excellent SkySafari 3 pending update 4.0x iPad Mini, iOS 7.04
