    Note, there is no "upgrade price".  Pro can not be discounted for specific users (i.e. those who have purchased Basic/Plus), but we run many, many promotions throughout the year, so there is no reason to buy the app at full price - ever!  Just wait for the promo sale.

    Thanks!

    Hi. I've got a question. Does skysafari web version have as many characteristics as Sky safari 7 pro? (I have skysafary 7 pro, and I hope for example to be able to orbit planets or have audioguides such as in the mobile version)

    Dalember, 

    SkySafari-Web does not have all the features and databases included in the Pro version.

    The web version is, at this time, a light-weight cut-down version of SkySafari 7.

    There is no telescope control, no IAPs, no GAIA, etc - no audio tours.

    But, you can orbit objects.

    Thanks!
