Herman Ostergard Sky view App Review Skyview is an app for both android and iOS devices. 2. What does it do This is an app that allows you to see constellations, stars, and planets with ease regardless if it is too bright in the sky to see most of the stars. It helps you spot what you previously did not even know existed in the night sky. 3. How much does it cost Skyview has both a free and paid version for as little as $1.99. However I have yet to see many ads in the free version that interfere with the experience. 4. Rating on the relevant app store as of date Sky view currently has a rating of five stars on the iOS app store. 5. Evaluate it - give marks for This app is very user friendly, it is easy to pick up and play around with and does not need much time to figure out how to use. One of my favorite features has to be how you can track the movement of the stars and planets, it tells you what time and what position it will be in the sky at a certain time of the day or night. 6. Ease of use Sky view is fairly easy to use, you need to point and shoot as if you were using the camera to look at the night sky and the stars in the sky are displayed on the screen. It is straight forward with no gimmicks. 7. Content accuracy I would say that this app is about 90% accurate most of the time. When viewing the stars through the screen I find that it is not exactly in the position that the camera is point to the star in the sky. The star or constellation is slightly off which makes it a little difficult to see if you are actually seeing the constellation or not. 8. Audience - beginners or expert? student or pro? After using the app I can say that this is definitely for a beginner user that is trying to dive into astronomy for the first time. 9. Would you recommend others in the class download it? I would recommend that everyone in the class to download this app. There is a lack of free astronomy dedicated apps in the market right now, Sky View is in my opinion the best option for people to download. 10. General Comments - Is it worth the memory/cost/time? I would say that this app is worth the storage capacity of 83 megabytes as it is a tool that anyone that wants to look out into the sky can use with ease. With their freemium pricing strategy, people can use this app without spending a dime, and still explore the vastness of space in the palm of their hand. 11. Evaluate it - give marks (stars-- on a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is best ever) 4.5/5 Sky View is an made by the developer Terminal Eleven, it is an intuitive app that is designed to help people who are interested in astronomy point out stars and constellations that they didn't even know existed. 12. Relevancy to astronomy (could you use it to do better in the class) I feel that Sky View is the perfect tool for people to do better in this class. For example I didn't know anything about astronomy at the beginning of the class. With millions of stars in the sky I didn't know where to start, with the help of Sky View it helped me fill out observations in my astronomy notebook and now I have a better understanding of stars, planets, and constellations around us.
