"For stargazers, Sky Live is exactly the app we've always needed to find out just how much of the stars we can see at night and when we'll be able to see our favourite constellations and planets." by Nathan Snelgrove, AppStorm.net. Stunning space photos combined with everything you need to know about stargazing conditions for your location tonight. Stargazer or not - this app will spark your curiosity. The most accurate hourly conditions for stargazing are estimated on seven criteria and summarized in one Stargazing Index that will give you all the information you need to make your plans. The formula was developed by a mathematician on the Star Walk team and takes into account: - Is there anything interesting in the sky tonight? - Can I see Saturn? - Is it going to be cloudy? - Is it going to rain? - Too much light? - Is the Moon too bright for stargazing? You will also get detailed reports on position and trajectory of the International Space Station, the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and other planets. The forecast is available for seven days ahead.

I use it to help students in college
I lead Astronomy and Cosmology study groups as an employee of Oakland Community College and stargaze on my own time as well. I use Sky Live (and Stellarium freeware) in tandem when planning stargazing sessions and when aiding students in learning the night sky. I have used at least 20 different apps over the last 4 years, but Sky Live is the ONLY stargazing app that resides at the ready on my iPhone’s first screen. I recommend buying the full version to know at a glance when the ISS will grace your stargazing sessions with its presence.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!!!!!!
I like it when I see “Fair” ! I love it when I see “Good” ....I’m ecstatic when I see “Great” ! The downside is I hate it when I see “Poor” especially a string of them, as if the app was somehow responsible....lol But seriously, it provides everything I need to plan my week, before the telescopes come out and does not disappoint! It’s simple and accurate and does not overwhelm the user with information overload! That said , I do use other more technical apps, but this is always the one I check 1st , so It’s a perfect on the go app ! The only thing I would like to see is a few more days tacked on, but I get why you don’t! The Hubble photos each day are also a nice touch ! Highly recommend it!

Great One Stop Tool
I have several tools in my arsenal for projecting sky conditions and other related observing information. But, this is the first one I hit, often several times a day. It's got a simple user interface, is accurate and updated frequently and has no quirks. A pleasure to use in all respects.
