11.0.1 - Bug fixes and minor enhancements.
Welcome to Night Sky 11!
Thank you for using Night Sky! Version 11 is a massive update that brings the following features and enhancements to Night Sky:
- Editor Tours - Our very own Night Sky editors are now able to remotely create tours using objects and Sky Tags to guide you around the most amazing and relevant celestial events!
- Lock Screen Widget - On iOS 16, add Night Sky widget to your lock screen to see the next upcoming celestial events at a glance!
- NGC Star Catalogue (+ Feature) - Our Sky View becomes even more comprehensive as we’ve now added the NGC star catalogue to the 1.7 billion stars already in Night Sky!
- Trajectory Time Stamps - Move along trajectory lines after tapping an object, and see the exact date and time that object will appear along its trajectory.
- New Tonight’s Events - Tonight’s Events (tap Show Details for your location on Main Menu), enables you to quickly scrub through notable events for that night for your location. Just tap an event to be reminded of it for that night!
- Deep Feature Search - Search is more powerful than ever before. Search for Mars for example, and Night Sky now surfaces all the powerful features related to Mars such as Portals, Planet Landings and much more. This works for any object.
- Dynamic Main Menu (+ Feature) - Make the main menu yours by holding down to edit the order of items, just tap ‘Reset’ at the bottom of the menu to go back to default.
- Feature Discovery Tile - Our new intelligent Feature Discovery Tile on the main menu deep dives into Night Sky’s features for you to surface them when they may be most relevant!
- Shared With You - On iOS 16 when you share an object from Night Sky, they appear on the Shared with You shelf on the Main Menu.
- Quick Preferences from Sky View - Turn elements of the Sky View on or off quickly from the button on the sky without having to go into Preferences!
- ‘Night Sky Premium’ becomes ‘Night Sky+’ - We’ve just changed the name of our Premium offering to Night Sky+. Only the name has changed, subscribers keep all the same amazing features Night Sky Premium offered and will continue to get new features as before.
- Gifting (+ Feature) - Night Sky+ subscribers will have the ability to gift Night Sky+ for free months to family or friends. The Gift button only appears within Preferences after you’ve been subscribed for 6 months.
- Education Mode - Educational Institutions are able to contact us to obtain a code to disable subscription offering on classroom devices. This does not give Night Sky+ features, just removes the ad. Codes are limited to verifiable educational institutions only. Contact
[email protected] for more information.
- New UI - Swift Charts - On iOS 16 Night Sky now presents charts more beautiful than ever before with Swift Charts. See them throughout the app in items such as Cloud Coverage, and Temperature.
- New Language Support - We’re continuing to roll out to even more languages. Night Sky 11 adds support for Bulgarian, Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Punjabi and Slovenian with more to follow later this year!
