If you develop for iOS you don’t have to worry about multiple device support as all models can essentially run the same app. Android is far too fragmented to easily code the same app for let alone debug. Also, most android users don’t pay for apps and steal them by side loading from cracked app stores. It’s no fun building apps for Android.

The world of planetarium s/w seems to have gone backwards (or at least stagnated) in the last 20 years, including for PC. And as for the Apple ecosystem, no thanks.
This app would be perfect IF it had a FOV framing option for a scope+sensor combination. I’m very surprised you can’t setup anything to show your astro setup FoV
Can you also recommend which iPhone app can do the best astroimages? I need an app that has pro settings, ISO, Exposure 30s, manual focus. That could be your next topic😏
Over 70% of all mobile devices worldwide were running Android as of July 2021. Android has held the market share lead in the mobile OS space since 2012. Just sayin....
Research also shows that android users are cheap and half are unwilling to buy an app at all. So if you factor that too the potential markets are about equal :)
All I want to know is how many different designations does each double and multiple star have? Safari has every designation for any star which means you can cross reference stars from any source or list of stars.
I’ve been a huge fan of SkyGuide for the better part of a decade now, so glad you made this video! It truly destroys all of the other planetarium apps.
Just got the pro membership. This app shows others what I (and most everyone here) see when looking up at night. It puts things into perspective for those who dont know whats up there and gives a sense of exploration when scrolling around.
Dylan, I just signed up for the SkyGuide Pro trial. You are right, the graphics and content library are brilliant. I am finding nebula that I never knew existed just by browsing the skies under different filter options. Pretty cool. But I think this app is no replacement for SkySafari Plus or Stellarium. This app (SkyGuide Pro) does not seem to display any gridlines or even a meridian line. It does not have telescope FOV views either. I find those functions essential for planning and field work. So my personal assessment is that SkGuide Pro is a very good complementary app (somewhat expensive) to SkySafari or Stellarium, but not quite a replacement.
You have the perfect mix of subtleness and sharpness on your humor, it's a perfect mix man! Bring a new perspective for astrophotography vlogs... I follow you since my start about a year ago but slowly I was getting more and more the subtle sarcasm and humor, I decided to binge watch a lot of your old videos and man, you have talentfor that as well as you have for astrophotography! makes it much more entertaining...
Hey thanks man! Thanks for going back too.. I’m learning in real time in front of everyone. Astro is a very very dry topic so I try to make the episodes a little punchier than the long (but very good) resources others do.
Looks like a nice app....but I'd personally spend money on a new mount rather than buying a ios phone just for that x) Plus I like being able to repair my phone easily (tbh though all phones are starting to be impossible to fix lol)
You had me at Spatula City. Really, my wife has long known that visiting Spatula City is on my bucket list. I reference it every Valentines Day. My routine is to load her equipment in the pickup and drive her up near Lake Tahoe where I freeze all night whilst watching her nerd out with guys who are jealous of her C11HD (and her possession of breasts). Every time I'm looking through stated apps, I always say, "this looks like ass", then I go back to freezing. So thank you. 5 minutes into the video I just bought the thing for a year. I'm going to learn a lot from this and no longer grumble about bad floating rocket body icons.
Thanks Dylan, I’ll add this one and give it a try! Okay I downloaded it. The views look great and there’s some good info on various objects. Really dislike the in-app purchase reminders that pop up though!!
This has been my GoTo (haha aren't I hilarious?) app for a couple of years. Had a different one earlier but got immediately converted when I found this one. 10/10
Damn we all love you Dylan. Never a dull moment. Hope to get to Australia some day. I can’t wait to try this app out. Hope it has the usual stuff like equipment reticles and FOV. Nice the moon simulation has libration and all that! I realize I had it from back when I was a visual astronomer only. The I wasn’t using it as much. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to place a reticle corresponding to a scope/camera combination.
While I enjoy a bit of banter on the tech side, this ios exclusive is total nonsense. 85% of all smartphones are android and there is absolutely nothing in this app that prevents it from being ported.
Dont force your Apple religion on me man, not only did you drink the coolaid, the coolaid man clapped your cheeks bro....lol jk nice app, still not changing tho...
I'll definitely be grabbing that app to go with all the other astro apps on my (poor) iPhone. Looking forward to La Nina dying next month and a nice cool dry winter season to follow (hopefully).
Thanks for your list of equipment, but.... You left out all of the software you use. What do you use for DSO target selection? Aladin? Aciqra? Stellarium? What about target acquisition? CPWI? APT? What do you use for guiding? PHD2? APT? NINA? ZWO ASIAir? What about capturing images? SharpCap? FireCapture? ASIAir? What do you use for stacking and processing? PixInsight? DeepSkyStacker? Luminance? I have the hardware now, and figuring that out was challenging enough. Figuring out the software looks like another 3 - 6 months research... Help? (BTW, I have a CGX mount, ZWO guide and image cameras, and several small OTAs, if that helps any.)
Love sky guide. I just wish they have an option to turn on saved favorites in the preference. So I could plan and simulate both in AR and normal sky. Instead of going through each favorite targets.
I tried SkyGuide. It seems very good, but not worth switching from SkySafari. I don’t like having to pay $40 per year. Yes, it seems every app & game is going the in-app purchase route. You have to buy the app in order to pay again. That is very irritating.
Good vid, Dylan. I’ve only ever had iPhones and this looks like a sweet app to check out. I’ve used Night Sky and Stellarium for the most part. Looks like I need to upgrade my Series 2 iWatch soon, too. Thank the gods the 10th spatula is free! Helluva deal! Lol 🍻
pretty cool but too many sounds played out over and over. Multispectrum was very neat; aladin has that but it's not as sleak but it could also be higher quality datasets there so it's a little bit of a toss. Would suggest planetarium software turn off the sound after the first time/20 minutes.
Go to the moon? - "We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard" (JFK) - but I never did find out what "the other things" were.
I Love Sky Guide,and Wished I Could Connect My Sky Safari To It,Was The 1st Planetarium I Ever DL,And I Would Love To Image The Carina Nebula😢Maybe Remotely Someday.Thank You Dylan..Stay Safe,God Bless and Clear Skies❤️🙏🏼✨🔭🌏
Did Dylan's barber go on an extended vacation or move away? Sky Guide looks awesome. Too bad it's platform dependent. Can't bring myself to get an prohibitively over priced (IMO) bit of technology to have access.
Hi mate,i was wonder if i put a permanent pier in my back yard with no observatory,would be ok to leave the mount on it all the time? i am in Perth and i was thinking about the weather condition like summer and winter,will the hot weather and cold screw the electronics of the mount?also are you leave your mount on that observatory of yours inside all the time?how do you manage hot days in there?

One of the founders is a guy I know quite well and he is responsible for the actual software model and graphic code that’s driving the app and its visualizations. He has a very long background in planetarium/space modeling software, by the way. I know he couldn’t (and for as far as I know still can’t) invest the effort required to port this to Android. The iOS and iPadOS markets are more lucrative for developers of paid apps and developing for Apple’s ecosystem is simply way more straightforward especially when you have years if prior experience on macOS and want to do relatively high end stuff like this with a very small team.

Why no support for Android? Would get it for sure.
Sky guide is Probably Contracted to Apple Phone Meaning to so the Amazing Views you must BUY a Apple phone😁👍
The longer Dylan's beard grows, the more insane he becomes
Yessss
So you are saying he is like Samson? Careful when you cut that fur Dylan!
Probably the best looking app I'll never get to use since it is platform dependant. A desktop or web version would be awesome.
Yeah....can't bring myself to do the Apple thing just for an astronomy app.
You're not really missing anything.
I’m sorry you’re poor
The anti-Android spirit of this is tedious. Any app that does not support both IOS and Android makes no sense to me.
I believe the initial reason was for macs superior 3D hardware and AR libraries. Android sucks to develop for.
If you develop for iOS you don’t have to worry about multiple device support as all models can essentially run the same app. Android is far too fragmented to easily code the same app for let alone debug. Also, most android users don’t pay for apps and steal them by side loading from cracked app stores. It’s no fun building apps for Android.
Get a real phone, Lololol

Ok. Sold! Thanks Dylan 👍 Amazed it doesn’t have a gridlines overlay for azimuthal and equatorial though - it really needs that.
As an Irishman it's weird listening to a lad called Dylan O'Donnell with that accent.
I was descended from potato farmers like the rest of you hah
Oh yea new video from Dylan 🥳
Over 70% of all mobile devices worldwide were running Android as of July 2021. Android has held the market share lead in the mobile OS space since 2012.

@@DylanODonnell you got me!
Even a visual astronomer can do it!!
(Barely) haha
I’ve been using this app for several years and they added field of view! Idk when but I just updated the app and am blown away!
All I want to know is how many different designations does each double and multiple star have? Safari has every designation for any star which means you can cross reference stars from any source or list of stars.
I comprehend the video fully. Still, I don't see any reason to get this app.
I definitely love this app, I get drawn away occasionally but the quality of the images blow away any competition.
I’ve been a huge fan of SkyGuide for the better part of a decade now, so glad you made this video! It truly destroys all of the other planetarium apps.
Would love to have the app but dont want to go back to old technology..will stick with my Android
The AR looks really polished, well done team
Just got the pro membership. This app shows others what I (and most everyone here) see when looking up at night. It puts things into perspective for those who dont know whats up there and gives a sense of exploration when scrolling around.

I love Sky Guide for iPhone app, been a great companion to the night sky for years!
Got it. Good call, Dylan. Thanks for spreading the word about this one!
Been using this app exclusively for a few years now. It absolutely destroys Stellarium on just about every level.
Looks like a nice app....but I'd personally spend money on a new mount rather than buying a ios phone just for that x)
Plus I like being able to repair my phone easily (tbh though all phones are starting to be impossible to fix lol)
"so easy to use, even a visual astronomer can use it" - almost spat my tea out. Ooooh that's gotta hurt the geriatric glasspeepers :D
I loved the "UHF" movie reference. One of my all time favs

Join us …
@@DylanODonnell These are not the Droids your looking for....
Thanks Dylan! Downloading now.
Will be installing on my iPad for sure. Since you have their ear could you recommend a FOV outline in the app?
They are reading these comments and funny enough I suggested the same thing !
@@DylanODonnell Is there an app with that functionality you recommend in the meantime?
I liked their spatulas so much, I bought the company.
Finally a decent app for iOS! Thank you, Dylan, very cool!
Carte du Ciel, Stellarium, and SkySafari connect to my telescope. SkyGuide doesn't.
Just replaced stellarium and star walk. This is stunning
Haha, dissin' the visuals dudes!
Gotta keep ‘em in their place.
@@DylanODonnell haha, course!
I'll definitely be grabbing that app to go with all the other astro apps on my (poor) iPhone. Looking forward to La Nina dying next month and a nice cool dry winter season to follow (hopefully).
starts at 3:43
I hope it gets released in android as well.
They just need to add telescope control function and that’ll be it!
Okay this is awesome! Problem is I'm a bit of a hipster and I plan all my targets with 1850's naval paper maps.
Amazing Dylan keep going with your awesome content mate, will always support you brah! x
Cheers bruh :)
OK, I'll give this one a shot Dylan. I it does seem to do a lot more things that I would use to plan than stellarium does.
defo downloading this!
I have similar rock to lunar rock or moon rock can you help me if it is meteorites thank you
Just tried it on an M1 MacBook ... Fantastic!
