User Reviews

Overall, users praise The Sky Pro for a polished UI, a rich sky database, and features like satellites, 3D objects, and time control, plus strong value even in the free version. The augmented reality mode is repeatedly cited as very helpful, and many feel it outperforms Stellarium Plus in display and UI. Key positives include affordability and solid time navigation. Common drawbacks are a newer interface that some find less intuitive than the old PC version, missing tools compared with competitors (e.g., organize comets by magnitude, FOV circles, events calendar), infrequent updates, and mixed opinions on the Ultimate subscription value.
Pros
  • Excellent UI and intuitive navigation.
  • Rich sky data and features including satellites and 3D objects.
  • Augmented Reality mode is helpful for locating objects in the sky.
  • Good value for money; affordable with a strong free version.
  • Effective time control and ability to move through time.
Cons
  • Interface/UX is not as intuitive as the older PC version and has quirks.
  • Lacks some tools and depth compared with competitors (e.g., organizing comets by magnitude, field-of-view circles, events calendar).
  • Updates are infrequent.
  • Ultimate subscription's value is debatable for many users.

Its pretty good. Although its not all as intuitive as the old computer version was. Plus it seems to randomly unlock a target and using the accelerometers on the phone. Might just be me misusing it though

One of the best stellarium apps (quite cheap, too). Augmented reality mode can be really helpful in finding things on the sky. It could use a few more tools, like organising comets based on magnitude, field of view circles or events calendar.
