Sky Live: Heavens Above Viewer for Negative User Reviews

Nice app. Just 1 or 2 flawsI get all excited when I see 80% only to find that there is no cloud from sun rise to sun set 😒 statistics should only be used from sunset to sun rise when stars can actually be seen !!! Please change because it ruins the app Also 60% of my city searches come up with no result..Version: 1.0.2

Every day 56%I must have the most consistent weather. Every day for the last two months stargazing conditions have been 56%. Do you think they’re hedging their bets?.Version: 1.2.4

RespectLove this app.Version: 1.2.4

CrashIt crashes when I try to access the full functions and crashes on start up. Great app in theory but only if you could get it to work!.Version: 1.0

Location search poorNice app has features others dont but the location search is limited to places already built into the app. I tried searching by state city and gps coordinates. None would work so therefore the app is useless to me for anning locations. Perhaps I am usimg it wrong but I did spend some time trying..Version: 1.2.4

App crashes on 7.0.2App is currently crashing on 7.0.2. The app opens and then closes! Please fix as this is a nice app..Version: 1.0

Almost there...I really like the app. Great presentation of quite a lot of information. Very handy. However, a few of the planetary sign placements are a while sign off. I would like to assume all the other info is legit, but I'm probably not going to. I'll wait to see if it's corrected I guess..Version: 1.0.2

Inaccurate ForcastThis app used to give fairly accurate forecasts, but over the last few months had always been wrong and rely on ClearOutside instead, which is a shame. Maybe the app writers need to review where they obtain their meteorological data certainly in the UK??.Version: 1.2.4

Works if you’re local, not accurate for travelThe app works great if you’re physically at your stargazing location. For those that need to travel away from city lights the app is not accurate. With set searchable city locations it isn’t practical for use in planning stargazing trips. If locations could be searched by GPS entry (like the current location) it would easily earn 5 stars..Version: 1.2.4

Not ImpressedFound the interface lacking information I wanted. Colander events was extremely difficult to set, never did figure it out. Weather information better in free app. Lunar information better in free app. Basically, you pay a dollar to find you you need to buy another app to get the most out of this one. Interface was awful..Version: 1.2.4

Description is misleadingThis app does not show you the sky by the hour only for an entire night which quite frankly is useless. It may we’ll be clear at 11pm and cloudy less than an hour later. The description of the app suggests otherwise but on questioning the developer they say that they might update the data if the forecast changes. Pretty dumb and pretty useless. Don’t waste your money if you need a proper breakdown of the night sky forecast..Version: 1.2.4

Don’t botherComplete waste of money, does nothing, even premium version is nothing more than a poor weather app, it’ll tell you stargazing conditions but with less accuracy than looking out of the window..Version: 1.2.4

Doesn’t workDoesn’t work. Is always updating/ searching. Can’t believe I sent money on it..Version: 1.2.4

They want more money?So I spent the $3 for the app, but that didn’t even unlock the full version? They want another $1 to unlock full version of some of the features they mention in the description originally. It’s honestly a little upsetting because the app itself is very simple and not much to it..Version: 1.2.3

I thought this was the heavens above appIt isn’t - if you are looking for an app to understand when things like the star link satellites are overhead then this won’t work for you. I even paid for the full version - it simply says what the air politician is like and what planets/stars you may be able to see. It doesn’t show where.....Version: 1.2.4

Could one day be my favourite app.I would love, love, LOVE this app if it had some references of what to look for in the sky, i.e.: constellation diagrams, planetary features, direction to look, etc... I own the other star gazing app from these guys but - like all akin programs - the interface is a bit clunky and it's hard to really find anything. This app with the aforementioned features would be the perfect outdoor companion and would actually involve star gazing as opposed to looking at the sky through your iPhone..Version: 1.0

It seems decent, but...The app crashes on me after a minute or two at the most. I hope the bug is fixed soon!.Version: 1.0

A conPretending to be from Heavens Above. It isn’t, and it’s crap..Version: 1.2.4

DisappointingWorst 99p I’ve ever spent. It doesn’t do anything. All I got was a stiff neck!.Version: 1.2.4

Totally inaccurateThe information given on the viewing conditions are totally inaccurate. Totally pointless and a waste of the 99p to unlock the other features..Version: 1.2.4

SkyLiveIt looks really good, but it doesn't have my country to choose from in the location area option.Version: 1.0

Total waste of moneyThought this app would really assist in my stargazing nights.....it is a BUST!!!! EVERYTHING.....I MEAN EVERYTHING this app says it can do can be found in other apps that provide so much more information. Totally disappointed in it and find NO redeeming qualities for use. Don’t bother with this one....there are plenty more that are much better.....all I can think is the high rated reviews are from the developers..Version: 1.2.4

Terrible app!This app has the worst reliability rate. It says visibility is good when it’s clearly overcast and daytime! What’s worse, tonight it’s going to get even cloudier! Then there’s the WatchOS widget. It doesn’t even display the same information as the application does! The app right now says 64% and good. The watch widget says 14% and poor. Wth guys?.Version: 1.2.3

Very limited locations in CanadaWould love to purchase the paid version if more locations in Canada are added to the list.Version: 1.2.4

Rip off at every push of the buttonBe careful, the in-app purchases are a killer, to make this app work to its best you HAVE to buy the extras that makes this app expensive for what you get, so my advice is download Redshift pro and get all of the Astro software you will ever need in one paid for package!! I hope the writers read this review, but I doubt it will even get posted to the reviews!!!.Version: 1.2.3

Consistently inconsistentConstantly shows around 55% in the app and at the same time 1% on the home screen widget and also on the watch. The watch/widget are correct but the app is completely wrong... why?.Version: 1.2.4

Rubbish!The premium version is EXACTLY the same as the free one! Spending 99p on it unlocks NO extra features. Waste of money and time. There are much better free apps out there..Version: 1.2.4

UselessThe only thing you see is their picture with temperature, sunrise etc. No stars, nothing Do not take space on your device for this useless app..Version: 1.2.4

Don't do it!I downloaded this on the strength of the great "Skywalk". Big mistake. It crashes on startup. Haven't seen it yet. FIX IT !!!!.Version: 1.0

Very misleading In-App purchasesThe app is generally good, however, if you want to see the position of the ISS(International Space Station) it directs you to purchase Star Walk 2. I did that, but to get the info on the ISS, you are then directed to another In-App purchase for the add-on to see the ISS. Very misleading..Version: 1.1.0

Useless for astrophotographersThis app is basically useless for astrophotography and stargazers as well. It can only show you the sky quality for your current location, which is a bit ridiculous because I don’t think anyone would like to do stargazing at home, we all plan to go somewhere else, away from light pollution. This app is stupid, I can’t believe I paid for it. I want a refund, lol..Version: 1.2.4

Ok so farUnfortunately the weather section including cloud cover, temperature, etc shows nothing. I mostly wanted an app that shows cloud cover and seeing, this is not too accurate..Version: 1.2.4

Good, not greatI had high hopes for this app but it didn't quite deliver. The weather feature is nice, but it's just wrong. The forecasts are way off from AccuWeather or NWS. Don't know where they get their data. Also I can't believe they don't show the moonrise/set times which are much more important than sunrise/sunset..Version: 1.2.3

Poor visibility after update 10I bought this program because it seemed better than Star Walk 2.It seem that it was until version 10. The change in the color of the sky versus the stars make this program difficult to use, especially during the day. There don’t seem to be any granular control for this..Version: 1.2.4

Was a good up until..Runs great when it opens however, it’s constantly crashing now so had to uninstall. Loved the amazing background images too! 3 stars due to the constant issues but 5 stars if it worked. Potty I loved this app!.Version: 1.2.4

Use it all the timeVery good use it all the time.Version: 1.2.2

Cloudy but 60%?Night sky is covered in clouds, can't see a thing, but the app says 60%....Version: 1.2.4

Farn adzFarn adz kill it unlezu bi it.Version: 1.2.4

Not Really That GreatSays supports family sharing but doesn’t. Family members can only get free version not full. Is this how it is supposed to be. I have asked this question before but can’t get an answer. As far as I’m concerned if it supports family sharing it should work....Version: 1.2.4

StarbucksApp looked ok but the minute you have to start paying for this that and the other that’s when you lose me. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind paying for an app but what I don’t like is having to keep paying for the app so you lost me..Version: 1.2.4

Not bad but buggyQuite nice interface, great idea, but lots of crashes. Notifications / widget hit and miss. Event notifications don't appear in app itself, so no way to get any more information about the event..Version: 1.0.4

Great app but can be betterI think I'm having much the same problems as some of the other users the app starts up for about a second but crashes soon after before I have even done anything. Some improvements I think can be made to the app is to add a full tour of the bright objects I could probably see the through my telescope (besides planets). Adding an option to type in your telescopes aperture and focal length which will then find good objects that you can see through the telescope that night would also be a great improvement..Version: 1.0

Crash and BURNThis App will not work. Opens momentarily and then crashes within a second of opening. What a joke! FIX IT or refund?.Version: 1.0

Extremely limitedNo indication of what the notifications DO, Just asks you if you want them. Does not display any specifics for seeing and transparency, just a one-word judgement of whether the conditions are good, fair or poor. Confusing interface, no clear way to bookmark multiple locations and no apparent way to choose a location from a map if you need to travel to observe. Just a terrible, mediocre app that hides features behind a paywall that aren't even remotely worth paying for. Download a free clear sky chart app and learn how to read it. It'll be infinitely more useful than this piece of garbage..Version: 1.2.4

TerribleI know it’s not much 89p but i still think this app should be completely free all i wanted to look at was how cloudy it was.Version: 1.2.4

Does very little to nothingMostly useless information. Paid the $0.99 for it, didn’t do anything for that buck that it didn’t already do, nothing. I can swipe a few days ahead to see “weather viewing percent” but the app falls short on everything. Other than the home app page, the only other page was manual that gave some background information on parts of the app that for the most part doesn’t exist. Keep you money and space. Waste of time..Version: 1.2.4

Won’t orientateA stargazing app that won’t go into landscape mode (on my iPad) makes it more difficult to view planetary convergences and juxtapositions, or even to look at an entire constellation in one view..Version: 1.2.4

Needs the ability to choose locationRealized after I paid the $1 for pro that location couldn’t be chosen manually. Have to either be at the location or choose from one of the available locations which is extremely limited. The whole point of the app for me was to see what stargazing conditions are like so I know if I should bother traveling out to darker skies. Seems like such an easy feature to fix that the lack of communication on why this “feature” isn’t available or the plans for the update warrant a 1 star review..Version: 1.2.4

Demo version does not have sky viewing featuresThe title pretty much sums it up. I’d love to review how well it tracks the satellites and displays stars/planets on the sky, but it seems I need the full (paid) version..Version: 1.2.4

Waste of time...It said I had 70% @2pm on a overcast rainy day...standing outside at 1030pm same night...it's clear as a bell and it's said only a 40%....Version: 1.2.1

Beautiful but uselessStargazing score is pretty useless. Often reports 70-80% score, suggesting good viewing conditions, when in fact there's significant cloud cover at the time..Version: 1.2.4

DisappointingI've always been a fan of Star Walk and Solar Walk (two of the best astonomy apps availabe), so I really expected more from this app. While the app is of a very high quality (clean UI and great looking photos), the design is somewhat flawed and the functionality limited. - Locations you can pick from are mostly limited to cities. No option for my town or the place I go to on Dartmoor (which other apps recognise). No lat/long input option either. - Rating for stargazing conditions is meaningless as it appears to take into account daytime cloud cover. This means that a day with clear daytime with a cloudy nightime can be given a higher rating than a day with cloudy daytime and clear nightime. - Limited forecast data: cloud cover, visibility and light pollution. No tranparency or astronomical seeing. - The design of the forecast timeline isn't great. The data takes up a tiny portion of the screen and the time range is centred at 12:00 noon (meaning the forecast ends at midnight). This means you have to change to the next day to see the early hours of the morning. I much prefer the way other apps transition from one day to the next, allowing you to see all the nightime hours together. - The "Visible Tonight" segment is useful, but doesn't add much if you already have Star Walk. - The app is a little sluggish on my iPhone 4 (just a minor complaint). To summarise: Some bad design choices and limitations make this an app of form over function. It might be suitable for people who live in cities and want a pretty app to view basic forecasts. But for anyone the least bit serious about stargazing and astronomy, there are much better apps available. For forecasting, I'd recommend Xasteria and Clear Outside (both of which are free)..Version: 1.2.3

Good functions but very slow loading speedExtremely slow loading speed for some reason?.Version: 1.2.4

No good unless you buy full versionThe free version is totally useless. Gives you sunrise and sunset times, and a % rating for how good the night will be for observing. However, unless you buy the full version, that is all it tells you - which you can get from pretty much any weather app anyway..Version: 1.2.4

What’s going onThis used to be such a good app. Not sure what is going on with it lately , every day it says my location is around 50% for clear skies. Have altered the location to around 20 different locations to see what happens , still around 50% for places I know are sunny and clear.... what’s happening !.Version: 1.2.4

UnreliableApp is slow to update. Could show day name along side date..Version: 1.2.3

Can’t Manually Choose LocationWould be 5 stars but you can’t manually choose a specific location...instead they have a 100 different locations all over the world to choose from, which is pointless if you’re trying to plan a stargazing trip to see if the seeing conditions will even be worth the trip; so this app is pretty much useless for me unfortunately:(.Version: 1.2.4

Pretty app, but...astrology?Overall the app seems very slick & useful, but I'm very disappointed that it contains astrology information. Do you really think the people who want to learn about stars and space subscribe to that nonsense?.Version: 1.0.1

Don't buyAfter buying the app, you then have to pay for the full version. Total scam....Version: 1.0.1

TerribleComplete crap! Tells me 39%, poor visibility, completely clear skies, not a loud in sight. Couple of nights ago it said 75%, good visibility, completely cloudy, couldn’t see a single star. It’s as if it’s days behind or location is completely wrong. Garbage. These must be the same people that predict the weather..Version: 1.2.4

Forecast isn’t greatThe forecast is seldom accurate in my area so not really worth using for me.Version: 1.2.4

GeorgeRubbish has no towns in the list for the North of England Kielder Europe’s largest man made forest and also holds the dark Sky Record not in the list or any where near it like Rothbury or Morpeth.Version: 1.2.4

RubbishKeeps asking for more and more more net to actually get to use the night sky app..Version: 1.1.0

Looks Good But InaccurateI really liked the way the app worked but my recent experience is it’s not very accurate. Maybe it needs some time ranges, instead of one number that covers the entire evening. But tonight, for example, we got clouded out by 8pm after Sky Live said 81% clear tonight. Maybe it will be 81% clear in a few hours, but it certainly isn’t now. There’s potential, but it’s not there yet..Version: 1.2.4

HorribleIt’s a wasted three dollars, do not buy this app, because it doesn’t work unless you buy the full version and it’s junk.Version: 1.2.4

CRASHTwice….Version: 1.0.2

Waste of moneyI don't get it. The paid version doesn't do much more than the free version. The stargazing rating is inaccurate. Totally cloudy right now and it says good rating and yes location is correct. Clearoutside is much better. Update July 2019 Ok so I have used this a bit more in the last few months. I increased my rating from 1 star to 3 stars. It does certain things quite well, which is predicting the quality of the conditions for stargazing and give a summary of what can be seen in the night sky (brightest stars, constellations, SSO's, etc). It doesn't do any more than this. Descriptions can be very misleading and are easy to word carefully so as to sell a product whilst not blatantly lying. I don't care about pretty pictures I want tools that help me at the eyepiece or planning my time at the eyepiece. This app does not help me plan my observations - it helps me decide whether I'm going observe or not. It does not make gorgeous photos of the night sky - nothing of the sort. Use in conjunction with others apps and programs..Version: 1.2.4

Not good...I upgraded to get more information but it’s info I can readily find on google or other apps. I wanted ISS info and location, but to get that I have to buy yet another app... Pointless. 😡.Version: 1.2.4

Which wayWhen I look at what the planets & stars are doing it doesn’t say which way to look north south east west up or down why is there no direction finder on this app.Version: 1.2.4

Keeps CrashingThis app will not open, keeps crashing when I open the app..Version: 1.0

Very cool idea, one flaw.I paid for premium and fully enjoy the app. I’m always looking at the widget and it has a very bland, boring grey background. Since I use the widget more than anything, I’m dropping the stars due to the fact that I’m let down every time I look at this app. Please add some flavor to the widget by adding some stars to the background!.Version: 1.2.4

Absolute ripoffThe various screens in the preview before you buy are not there in the app. This is one of the most ridiculous apps I have ever seen, you can’t do anything and is a complete failure and a waste of 99p. Please don’t be fooled by them..Version: 1.2.4

Do Not Get! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATIONThis app seems to be a nice looking, peek into the current conditions at your location, I’ll give it that. The BIGGEST HINDERANCE is that there is such limited searchable locations, it basically cripples the app. If you need to travel to “X” location (possibly hours away), but want to check star gazing, weather, and visibility conditions beforehand? Better make sure you’re only going to a location available on their list. Otherwise, you’ll find you cannot search for common towns, locations, areas, or even GPS coordinates and get their relative info (at least in the US, I have not tried other countries). This has issue has been reported by other users over a year ago and still has not been fixed. This one issue alone makes it NOT WORTH IT to get this app for the .99 cents it costs for the “pro” features, heck it makes it not worth it for the free one either. But I guess, in theory, if you’ve done research on other better apps/services and then, got on-location to view magnificent night skies, this would do a good job to tell you once you got there that you’ve got “great stargazing conditions.”.Version: 1.2.4

InaccurateTells me it’s good viewing when it’s overcast, or poor when the sky is clear. Don’t bother with this app. just look up, it’s far more reliable!.Version: 1.2.4

Please fix Moon PhasesHello. I am writing this on Dec 31st, 2021, 1:00AM in the US. I'm giving this a two star score (and will update one corrected) because your moons are not correct. The current moon phase is a WANING Crescent moon 🌘 ; which by your app, NASA, and various other moon phase charts indicate the same moon phase. The icon your app shows is a WAXING Crescent moon 🌒, indicating it is facing in the wrong direction. This incorrect icon is shown within the app and in the app widget. New Moon: 🌑 Waxing Crescent: 🌒 First Quarter: 🌓 Waxing Gibbous: 🌔 Full Moon: 🌕 Waning Gibbous: 🌖 Third Quarter: 🌗 Waning Crescent: 🌘 Otherwise it's a pretty decent app..Version: 1.2.4

Took complicatedToo complicated. I just want to see the sky now. This made that too hard. Just make an idiot proof app..Version: 1.2.4

Great app but was let down from purchaseThe is a great app. It is excellent on letting you know stargazing conditions as well as timing for certain sky objects. The issue with this app is if you try the ad supported versions of other Vito tech apps and then upgrade the to full via in app purchase the apps don’t recognize each other as full versions. I contacted support and was told they were aware of the issue and it will be fixed in the next update, it now has been over a month since and no update to resolve the issue.Version: 1.2.3

App stopped working on iOS 14.2 on iPhoneThe app was excellent and gave a great overview on what was visible in the sky each day. However, it stopped working after the latest iOS update with no signs of it being updated - shame..Version: 1.2.4
