Where Can I See A Comparison Chart For What's New In SS7 VS SS6? (Answer: Read On!)

Just got an email about SkySafari Pro 7 for my iPhone. How do I find out my current version? How do I find out the "new" features versus my current version? I assume there is no upgrade path for previous owners. Correct?

    Thanks. Found the version (SkySafari 6 Pro, 6.8.5.2). Well Hidden!

    Anyway, is the chart showing those features NOT available in 6 Pro but now in 7 Pro (What's New in V7)? Some of those I thought were in V6 so I'm just a little confused.

    Thanks again.

    Oh, and on that comparison page, the Download Now does nothing on my iPhone or iPad.

    Some of it is brand new.  Some of it is an improvement on the existing feature.

    Thanks!

    OK, so no way then to tell what's been added to 7 Pro over 6 Pro. Nothing to figure if the cost is justified for the average user. Got it.

    Montgomery,

    The comparison chart shows what's new in SS7.

    Also, the main landing page is nothing but highlights about what is new in SS7.

    Thanks!

    Please, please excuse my ignorance or lack of understanding. On one post you said "Some of it is brand new.  Some of it is an improvement on the existing feature." Then the last post says "what is new is SS7." All I was trying to do is see what 7 had that 6 did not. So I don't know from what you said if the link is ALL NEW stuff over 6, or items modified/updated/improved/whatever from 6, and some new stuff in 7???

    Again, I'm sorry I'm missing the intent of the link. I apologize.
