Starry Night seems better as well as Stellarium.

May I ask what leads you to that conclusion? What aspects of SkySafari did you not think were as well executed as the other two? A blanket statement isn't any help here. Are you attempting to compare the free version of SkySafari to the Pro or mid-range version of Starry Night? The Pro version of SkySafari is the best of the three you've mentioned in my opinion. Remember that this is version 1.0 of SkySafari Mac too... give it a little time to mature like the others have.

You miss out a lot of features and number of objects with the free version of SkySafari - and it's designed that way. I personally think that Stellarium is clunky by comparison - but I expect that as its a multi-platform compromise.
