Love SkySafari 7 Plus. I use the telescope control with Astro Devices Nexus. The accuracy is incredible. I've seen so many things in the night sky. Notifications re ISS passing overhead and details about objects via the info function is just brilliant.
I Was still (as at 2024) using SF4Pro which is very good, and always resisted upgrading to new versions due to cost, however when the SF7Plus popped up for £2.79 I had to try it, and in all honesty it isn't much different, I don't own a goto scope so my strategy of not upgrading was the right one for me.
amazing app when it's working. I've had this for about a year now, and it has everything I could ever wish for in a stargazing app, including a very accurate compass for a point-and-see experience. lately, the app has been crashing frequently for bo apparent reason, and I have tried reinstalling it several times
For some reason the app is misaligned. When pointing my phone to the sky the objects on the screen are always quite a distance from reality. This makes it quite difficult to identify objects in the sky with the app.
Riddled with flaws--has bugs that have been ignored for over 24 months. Mag limits are ignored and change when zooming. The blue shaded entries under "Tonight | Calendar", has the text cut off and cannot be viewed. Searching for "Luna" does not find the Earth's moon. How can an "astronomy" app not include the name of Earth's moon? Too many bugs (this was not a complete list--there are more) for such an expensive app.
