Richard Drumm of the Charlottesville Astronomical Society called this SkySafari his “planetarium app of choice.” It uses high-quality telescope software to identify stars, planets and other celestial bodies when held up to the sky, and supply users with interesting scientific, historical, and mythological information about them. The app even works during the daytime with the Augmented Reality (AR) feature. Other features included virtual audio tours of the cosmos, a database of astronomy news and information, and the ability to view a virtual depiction of space in the past or future for those who want to see celestial events like eclipses, or meteor showers. As of September 2021, it was the third most popular app in the “Reference” category on IOS. Free alternatives include SkyView, SkyLive, Starwalk, and Night Sky.
