Terrible

This app was one of my favorites. It was a free app of the week. Ever since the last update, its nothing but a black screen. This was one the very first apps I downloaded when I got my very first iPhone. Now its nothing but a "I cant see it unless I pay for it app". Oh...but it works great on my iPad!! Explain that!!

Night Sky 4 is superb!

I really enjoy using Night Sky 4. It is easy to use, and very informative. The amount of details provided in a simple to understand format is unparalleled. Try it, you will not regret it.

Night Sky

At first I didnt like the new version, Night Sky 4. I thought iCandi had taken away two of my favorite features. 1️⃣ Being able to view the universe in differen spectra, you know, xray, ultravolet, infrared and others besides "optical" (what our own eyes can see. 2️⃣ Being able to control the magnitude of the stars onscreen to match what the conditions around me permit. At home, urban sprawl limits me to only first & second magnitude stars, and there is no Milky Way. However, in a Jeep or in a boat, I can get far from the madding crowd and see so may stars that the Milky Way seems solid. Weather affects the view a lot, and I really need to match the onscreen view to the actual sky view. ➡️ Turns out that these two my favorite features are now tucked under g̤̈ë̤s̤̈ẗ̤ṳ̈r̤̈ë̤s̤̈, how cool, but if it hadnt been for "Tips" appearing now and then I might not have rediscovered them. Oh what joy when I was reunited with the spectrum control and the magnitude control!

Extremely disappointed

Bought because of interest in our sky, and neighbors, but this app cant even orient where we are. I know, so not fatal, but essentially useless. Love being charged for upgrades that are never used. Total disappointment! Ken Combs

Very creative

Many effects, nice music with a good information.

A Work In Progress

For the graphics and advertisements to look pretty good on the outside, I guessed the User Interface would have been better than it is. Sometimes the system is slower than Id like, possessing a sort of repetitious toggle while trying to appreciate the trajectory...all at the same time. If someone asked me about Night Sky 4, I will tell them exactly what I think! I wont go into detail, but I do notice unique traits about the App, which hence eliminates the amount of competition

Doesnt work on iPhones

Upgraded Night Sky Pro on 3 devices. iPad mini, iPhone 5 and iPhone 6s. The iPad mini with iOS 9.3.4 works fine. The two iPhones with iOS 10.1.1 do not work. The horizon does not calibrate to the compass at all. Wrote to iCandi Apps three weeks ago and have yet to receive a response. Dont loose your Pro because it works and NS4 doesnt on iPhones.

Just AMAZING!

Thank you for continue to improve this app over the years. Im a big fan! I just climbed the roof to see at the ISS flying over L.A. and visible for a harmful of secs. Without your notifications I would miss all the great miracles of science for the little man (and woman).

Very Cool!

Love this app! Lots of fun to use with the family, especially with kids at that in-between age. Nice reference to use alongside your scope. One small gripe, the notifications arent worth paying for, all they say is that "conditions are good for stargazing tonight" with every notification--even on nights when theyre NOT! Creators should correct this, as it was a point of sale when people bought it. Its false advertising.

ISS above, sending Christmas cheers to all.

With children and adults alike. It is so awesome that this technology has come to display and demonstrate constellation make up and stellar navigation. Excellent work. Merry Christmas and great cheer in to the new year.

Used to be good

This app used to be good. No longer. All I want to do is point at a star and see what I am pointing at. Now that doesnt even work because of all the other junk in the app. Worthless now. Too bad!

Hi

I like this site very much of it. Lot things to do it. Lot of times and I love it

Always a fave

This was one of the first apps I downloaded on my iPhone 4s, and I still enjoy it very much on my 7plus... Always fun to see where the starts and planets are. Super easy to use and accurate.

Update ruined it

This was a great app until the update to version 4, now I just have a black screen. Anyone know of a fix other than purchasing add ons? Seems sky tracker should be part of the free app but isnt showing up

App cant tell directions anymore

This app used to be great. With the last update it doesnt find what direction Im facing. The app is pretty useless with this broken.

Its good

Its pretty good

Flight Paramedic

Fascinating!

This app is a joke

This app is horrible. It shows the same stars and planets no matter which direction you are pointing. Total waste of money.

Great

my go to star app !

Disappointment

Unless youre an astronomer, forget it. Very complex, not intuitive and impossible to learn.
