Improvement over 6 but a few minor issues

The new interface takes some getting used to, but once I figured out where everything was I definitely think it's an improvement. It makes logging and planning my observing sessions much easier. I love the events section. Enormously useful for planning. I do have a couple of minor complaints. The apparent lack of ability to automatically import observation records from SS6 is leading to a lot of work to restore progress on observing lists by carefully relogging them out of my notebooks. Also I like the new notification options, but you REALLY need a way to restrict notifications to things that are above the horizon from your current location. I don't want to get notifications of shadow transits on Jupiter when Jupiter is below my current horizon. It would be really nice to be able to restrict notifications to phenomena one can actually OBSERVE. Note for anyone struggling with the decision between plus and pro; On SS4 And SS5, I went with the pro version but starting with 6 I realized plus is a better fit for me. I use SkySafari in the field as a star atlas, and Plus is just a more practical field Atlas than the pro version. It goes just a hair deeper than Uranometria 2000, which is all I'll likely ever need. SSPro is a great desk reference, but unless you own a HUGE dobsonian, it's actually a little impractical in the field.

SkySafari 7 The Tool Bar always present in Sky View!

A SkySafari (SS) developer asked me, “ “Name a feature missing in SS 7? Ok, easy! I miss the feature removing the Tool Bar from bottom of the screen! The computer controls are always on the screen occupying valuable space. At star-parties, The tool bar produces a lot of white light, especially when displayed on 43 inch tv screen. SkySafari Seven is all messe-up. There are many important features in SS-6 that did not get transferred to SS-7 SkySafari 7 for iOS came out in December 2021, Just in time for Christmas Shoppers, unfortunately SkySafari 7 got the COVID Virus, Im putting SkySafari 7 in quarantine until SS 8 comes out. I do not know how to return SS 7 to get my money back? SkySafari Six Plus is a much better stargazing app, in my opinion, the best stargazing app in the market! in SS 7 you can not rearrange Menu Items, or hide unwanted menu items. Just go with SkySafari Six which is a great App. and save your money for SkySafari eight which Im sure will be a big improvement! Maybe SS7 will have gotten its COVID booster vaccine in time for Christmas release of SmySafari Eight! Note to developer, who asked me “what’s wrong with SS7?” I think you know more than I, what is wrong with SkySafari Seven!

Lost key functionality to try to get subscription $

Don’t buy this version if you are interested in a simple, effective interface to visualize the night sky. In an apparent effort to emphasize social interaction between users and to push subscription revenue, this version ended up making the simple things much more difficult.

Telescope target is not showing up

The telescope connects using SkySafari 7 plus. But the bulls eye target does not show up on the display. So you do not know where you are pointing or slewing to. This is a big issue. SkySafari 6 does not have this issue! Please address this.

The. Best Astronomy App

I have been using the app through four generations of development. It is easy to use, accurate, very customizable, and works well for stargazing and telescope control.

It worked great until yesterday

I use this app all the time to plan my observing sessions. Now when you click on “Observing List” the app immediately crashes. I think they are working to fix this.It’s a complete disaster because the Observing Lists are key to my planning. I have lists of Nebulas, Galaxies, things I want to photograph, etc. and now I can’t access them at all. It’s almost enough to make me want to switch to another app. Hopefully they will fix this soon.

Wanted an Ephemeris in a Planetarium Display

The app met my desires to at least replace the defunct SkyWeek Plus from Sky & Telescope. I wanted an app that showed the sky for a given date and time. Further, I wanted to see the stars below the horizon as well. Further, I was delighted to add the display of the equator, the ecliptic, and the galactic equator. I was further delighted to see the plot of the planet Neptune, which SkyWeek lacked. I was happy that the display was adjustable to my latitude and longitude instead of SkyWeek’s hard-coded +40 degrees latitude, 90 degrees west. What I really was looking for was very specific: a planetarium ephemeris. I have only had the app installed for about an hour, so I have a lot more to learn!

Safari 6 seems to be better

I miss being able to forward time and see what objects were rising or where objects were the previous day/ week/ month. Haven’t found that option yet in 7 Plus. Good thing 6 is still on my phone.

Where’s Comet Leonard

I’ve been using Sky Safari for years and I happily paid for this upgrade. It’s a great app but I’m disappointed that it doesn’t seem to show the location of Comet Leonard. It would be nice if it could locate visitors to our night sky as well as the more permanent residents like stars, planets and deep sky objects.
