Description
SkySafari makes stargazing a simple pleasure. It has the largest database of any astronomy app, includes every solar system object ever discovered, offers unparalleled accuracy, advanced planning and logging tools, flawless telescope control, and provides the very best experience under the stars when you depend on it. Don’t postpone joy. Discover why SkySafari is the #1 recommended astronomy app for serious amateur astronomers since 2009.
Here's what’s new in version 7:
+ Complete support for Android 10 and up. Version 7 brings a new and immersive stargazing experience.
+ Events Finder - go to the new Events section to unlock a powerful search engine that finds astronomical events visible tonight and far into the future. The finder dynamically generates a listing of moon phases, eclipses, planetary moon events, meteor showers and planetary phenomenon such as conjunctions, elongations and oppositions.
+ Notifications - the notifications section has been completely revamped to allow you to customize and manage which events trigger an alert notification on your device.
+ Telescope Support - telescope control is at the heart of SkySafari. Version 7 takes a giant leap forward by supporting ASCOM Alpaca and INDI. These next generation control protocols allow you to effortlessly connect to hundreds of compatible astronomical devices.
Stargazing is often done on your own but looking up at the stars reminds us that we are all part of a larger interconnected universe. SkySafari 7 brings social stargazing to mobile devices with two new features to help you connect with other like minded people.
OneSky - allows you to see what other users are observing, in real time. This feature highlights objects in the sky chart and indicates with a number how many users are observing a particular object.
SkyCast - allows you to guide a friend or group around the night sky through their own copy of SkySafari. After initiating SkyCast, you can generate a link and conveniently share it with other SkySafari users via text message, apps or social media accounts.
+ Sky Tonight - jump to the new Tonight section to see what’s visible in your sky tonight. Expanded information has been designed to help plan your night and includes Moon & Sun info, calendar curations, events and the best positioned deep sky and solar system objects.
+ Improved Observation Tools - SkySafari is the perfect tool to help you plan, record and organize your observations. New workflows make it easier to add, search, filter and sort data.
The Small Touches:
+ You can now edit the Jupiter GRS Longitude Value in the Settings. + Better Moon Age calculation. + New grid & reference options allow you to display Solstice and Equinox markers, Orbit + Node markers for all solar system objects, and tick marks and labels for the Ecliptic, Meridian, and Equator reference lines. + Previous In-app Purchases are Now Free - this includes the H-R diagram, 3D Galaxy view, and the PGC galaxy and GAIA star catalogs. Enjoy. + Many more.
If you haven't used SkySafari 7 Pro before, here's what you can do with it:
+ Hold your device up, and SkySafari 7 Pro will find stars, constellations, planets, and more! The star chart updates automatically with your movements for the ultimate stargazing experience.
+ Simulate the night sky up to 100,000 years in the past or future! Animate meteor showers, conjunctions, eclipses, and other celestial events.
+ Control your telescope, log and plan your observations.
+ Optionally backup all of your observing data in our secure cloud storage and make it easily accessible to multiple devices as well as from our new web interface, LiveSky.com.
+ Night Mode turns the screen red to preserve your eye's ability to see faint objects.
+ Orbit Mode. Leave the Earth’s surface behind, and fly through our solar system.
+ Galaxy View shows the position of deep sky objects in our Milky Way!

I have been a long time user of the Plus app so am familiar with Sky Safari apps. Really impressed with the Pro app and looking forward to using its potential. Excellent app for planning observation sessions. Very good for connecting to my scope for slewing to and between objects.

This is my go-to app for all things astro and observing related. It is packed with features that aid in different observing or imaging needs. The info and audio commentary is exceptional. There was an issue following an app update (2026-3-13) and release of Pro 8. The database files for all solar system objects did not contain any content plus other issues. However, complete reinstallation of both 8 Pro and 7 Pro resolved the issues. Revised rating to 5-stars.

Helpful sky chart. Easily locate objects in the night sky. Used for 2 years never any issues with functions.
★★★★☆Robert Hart· Dec 26, 2025
Overall the app is fantastic, huge object library, intuitive layout and ease of use. My biggest gripe is the focus motor function, it is basically unusable and requires the need to keep the wired remote just for focusing. When fine-tuning one single step clockwise, the software commands 500 steps back then 501 steps forward. I assume this was for mitigating backlash but 500 steps is utterly ridiculous, 2 or 3 steps at the most would be sufficient. Please, please fix this bug.

This app is disappointing, especially for the price. It is unless as a planetarium app for identifying potential targets. The FREE version of Tellurium shows images of deep sky objects when you zoom in to any area of the sky. The pay version of Tellurium shows a better image. Sky Safari 7 Pro only has images of a few of the most popular objects, which is useless when scanning for small deep sky objects. The only part of this app that exceeds Tellurium is telescope control.
★★☆☆☆John Millner· Apr 5, 2026
Sends marketing notifications and puts up a nag screen on an already paid for product multiple times, even when marketing notifications have been turned off in the settings - absolutely shameful breaking of trust.
