Where Does SkyView Store Locations and Unlocks?
Where SkyView keeps saved locations and unlocked content on Android and iPhone, and how to restore them.
Last updated
SkyView is a lightweight sky overlay. It caches star catalogs locally after first open and tiesunlocks to your store purchase history. Saved sights and places follow newer account sync where available. The rest is cache.
Lite and full editions diverge in package and container names, which breaks folder guides that assume one path. Restore purchases from inside the app rather than moving files. Grant location anew on each phone. Without it the overlay drifts and objects misalign even with perfect catalogs.
Where SkyView stores this, by platform
/sdcard/Android/data/com.t11.skyview
Catalogs cache privately. Unlocks restore from store history. Lite versus full editions use different package names, so paths vary. Use in app restore.
On My iPhone/SkyView
Sky data lives in the SkyView container for your edition. Restore purchases from settings. Reallow location and camera for overlay mode to align.
Frequently asked questions
How do I restore SkyView on a new phone?
Reinstall and use Restore Purchases from settings with the same store account. Saved sights sync on newer builds when signed in. Private sky cache rebuilds on first launch. Avoid copying data folders by hand, since edition names change the path.
Does SkyView work without internet?
Yes for the base constellations after first download, since the catalog caches privately. Camera mode needs a clear view plus location. The cache folder name varies by SkyView Lite versus full editions, so match the edition before comparing paths.
