I prefer skeye pro and mobile obs over ss. mainly because in skeye, I stick my phone to my dob with some velcro, and align to a few stars and away I go ... but I havnt done this for some time because of the weather, but it works (even with skeye)
I like mobile obs because it's uncluttered, has telrad circles (which I can't figure out to get with ss pro) to star hop and is what I use as a visual observer without goto etc. I don't rely on one app as such, I use various, even books and charts ... but it's easier to use a phone app outside than a book.
not knocking skysafari, it's probably good if you have the need for it which I don't, but you may with a goto ...also I don't need 500meg hogging my phone with images from Hubble when the net is available nor do I need a trillion star catalogue when I can only view half a million etc. whatever works for you I guess
