What users say about SkyView®
From the 52 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Long-time users praise the app's educational value and interface but are increasingly frustrated by broken calibration features and magnetic interference from phone cases. A significant portion of negative reviews stems from perceived bait-and-switch tactics where satellite tracking was moved to a separate paid add-on.
Mixed (52% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for few ads, and working reliably. The main complaints are about price and subscriptions, and crashes and bugs.
