User Reviews

SkySafari 7 Pro is praised for its feature-rich toolkit (telescope control, data depth, logging) and large catalogs with solid event/photography planning. Longtime users view it as essential and worth the investment. However, reviews repeatedly fault the price/upgrade prompts, UI regressions, and stability issues (crashes). Data migration and syncing problems between versions also frustrate users. Overall, it’s a powerful app with strong functionality, but concerns about cost, UX quality, and reliability temper enthusiasm.

Pros

Full-featured toolkit for astronomy, including telescope/mount control, data drill-down, and observation logging.
Extensive star/planet catalogs and planning tools ideal for events and astrophotography.
Longstanding, trusted app with ongoing development; many users feel it’s essential and worth the investment.
Strong hardware integration, including the ability to connect to SCT telescopes.

Cons

Frequent upgrade prompts and an expensive upgrade/subscription model.
UI changes and regressions that make the app feel less intuitive than older versions.
Stability issues, with crashes and freezes occurring, notably when pressing features like 'tonight'.
Data migration/sync problems when moving from older versions (preferences/favorites, iCloud sync) hindering a smooth transition.

Recent reviews

None of the recommended STAR or DEEP SKY ‘Settings’ fixed the problem of circles where stars or deep sky objects worked, so I deleted the app itself and from the Apple App Store downloaded the app. This cleaned-up anything that was causing the ‘stubborn’ problem.
