StarSense Explorer functionality is now available for users of the Celestron StarSense Explorer telescope series.
The latest update takes the functionality previously only available via the Celestron StarSense Explorer app and integrates it into SkySafari 7 Pro.
A code is required to unlock this functionality. The code was delivered on a card inside the StarSense Explorer telescope box.

Will you be making this available to Android users as well?
Yes, coming soon, Jeffrey! Thanks!
Soon? Please define your understanding of the word soon. This iOS version was created one year ago.
Jeffrey, I will ping developers with your request to get this feature added to Android. Sorry, I can not offer an ETA. Thanks for your feedback!
Is there any more news about the timescale for Android please?
This will be available in the next Android SS7 app update.
That's good news, thanks. When's the update likely to be - weeks, months or what? Cheers.
