Sky Safari is the GOAT
This app is so good that I keep my old this app atlas app around just for the sake of comparison. I use the two apps together as a tool to encourage others to upgrade. I tell them “Look here, I used to use this outdated app but now I cruise the skies with this app Safari!” Once they see the difference, they are sold! If their Internet connection will bear it, they download this app on the spot. The feature suite and extras in this app Safari are extraordinary! The display pops with vivid details and well layered information. This app is surely the Greatest Of All Time in its class.

Couldn’t be better!
This app is amazing! I’ve been using Star Chart for the longest time, drooling to get my hands on this. Now it’s free! However, it might be a little difficult for first time stargazers because it can have a lot of distractions. I love the voice control, it really helps free up my hands. Forty dollars is a lot for an app, but I love this so much, I think Pro will definitely be worth it. I was surprised to find that it has little to no lag even with all of the items to display. It is a high quality app and I thank Simulation Curriculum.

I can spend hours . . .
What a app for astronomy buffs! Locate (within a reasonable proximity) that dot of light you see, find out what is known about it, follow its path, past or future, and get updates on upcoming astronomical events! I used it to observe the recent blue (accurately, Orange) super moon eclipse at totality just before dawn, knowing that since it calculates the viewing perspective from my exact location, I could get the eclipse right in the stage I wanted and know exactly where in the this app it was going to be. I like the music, too, but it can be turned off and on.
