I really like this app but it is very difficult to connect to our telescope and when we do finally get it connected it often crashes. :/ I specifically bought this app to control our virtuoso GTI150 so it feels like a waste of money that it doesn't really work. I do like the observation logging features and the filtering options for objects. So really my only complaint is the telescope connection.

Love the app after they fixed their initial issue with notifications! Original Review: Notifications need some serious work! My phone is on vibrate and it still plays sound. I also set a do not disturb timeframe of 1 am to 9pm - so basically daylight and when I'll be in bed. I think it's reversing those times because I keep getting alerts in the day and saw nothing last night (from 9pm to 1am). Otherwise, the refreshed layout from the previous version looks way more polished. I like it. Edited

Hi Sam, we just released an update - 7.0.1 - that should help with notifications. Make sure to uncheck the boxes under Settings-Notifications. Thank you.

I like it, but I'm sticking with 6 for now - mostly because, for the life of me, I can't get rid of the annoying orange circles that needlessly highlight the solar system objects. That big bright yellow thing is the Sun? Ah, good to know. Plus, the only way I could see to reach the developers is through a forum. The rest of the app is great, but these two issues are a huge irritation. Disabling the orange circles should be intuitive and you shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get help.

I was hesitant at first to use Sky Safari 7 Pro. I loved 6, and the touted improvements to the UI seemed just like frustrating changes. But having committed to the switch I have to say it's totally worth it. As someone who doesn't use the new social features, I would like to have a preference where clicking the settings button on the bottom ribbon takes you straight to the settings menu. Another thing I would love is when you load the calendar event, if it could not turn on your compass.

Used Sky Safari in the past. It was okay. It's never been an intuitive experience to use. Because of this, I waited until it predictably went on sale for $9.99 for the upcoming 2024 eclipse. Buying it for $49.99 is about as wasteful and annoying as a bed bug infestation when learning how to use it. Skeye, Stellarium, and venerable Skymap are easier to use, though not as feature rich.
