Comments on SkyPortal for Android

★★★★☆ j vennings · May 15, 2026

Prity cool app. I use it to move my AVX around and get handy info on what im looking at. won't let my telescope look straight up for some reason. there's a spot in the sky it says is out of ranfe for the mount, but just a month ago I was looking straight at it and was taking photos. Still very happy with the app

★★★★☆ Kimomo · Mar 27, 2025

The only reason it is not 5 stars is that the ap is not accurate according to my location. I even manually put in my current latitude and longitude coordinates and elevation, and my app is still slightly off. This is causing a discrepancy in my telescope alignment with the stars. I tried playing with it to reverse polar and other settings, and I even tried changing the time and still had the same issue. This is the only drawback to this app for me. Does anyone have any pointers or tips?

★★★★★ The story Incident · Jun 1, 2026

For those who can't afford sky safari this app is the best, why because it was Wi-Fi and almost has the same features of sky safari while half of it, now because I have sky safari pro, it's a little useless, but I rated 5 stars so you all and electron won't get mad, also call me artan and forget my email

★★★★★ Rick Collins · Sep 28, 2025

With the GPS module on my new electron NexStar 8SE, I can move the scope to any visible object with ease. Do a quick alignment and enjoy the night sky's.

★★☆☆☆ Nugget Man · Feb 28, 2026

Honestly I hate the new update, it's horrible and makes the interface ugly. Everything used to be so easily accessible, and it was an amazing app but I am just awful

★☆☆☆☆ Gage Salerno · Jan 10, 2026

This only works when connected directly to the Electron Wi-Fi module. This app will not allow you to send the Wi-Fi module your routers' internet SSID and password so when using the app you cannot connect to the internet.

★☆☆☆☆ Brittany Thompson · Apr 7, 2026

I've been using this iPhone app for years and recently switched to an android, and I'm not sure if it's because of a new update, but it won't #connect to scope" which I've never heard of before, and I don't have the compass option that I've always used to move my camera around and see everything I'm pointing at. This is so disheartening.
