Good To Stargaze for Astronomers

I must admit, I'm a little puzzled by the negative reviews, as my first impression of this app is that it is *STELLAR*! True, the free version does limit you to a 24hr forecast and, should you decide to purchase a subscription, $23 USD per year is significant. That said though, the dark sky mapping works phenomenally well, in real time, and, coupled with the nicely laid-out real-time dashboard and 24 hr forecast, all I have to say is, wow! Well done!!
Useless. Been looking at this app every day for 14 days. Every single outlook has been 100% wrong. Right now it says 99% cloud cover where I live - I've just walked outside and can't see a single cloud in the sky. Perfect conditions. Deleted. Update: newly updated today 30th Aug and doesn't even open now!
The best weather indicator for astronomy. Yes, I've tried them all and tested them on the various conditions and this one is pretty darn accurate. I'm a paid user. Just one issue, there's no indicator of when astro dark happens (or ends), so I have to use another app in addition to this one. One simple thing added would make this app awesome. Astro dark is when the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon. This is when most astrophotographers begin to image.
Not very accurate. Completely the opposite for cloud coverage a lot. But other than that the app is good when it's correct.
I don't think the app is connected to a reliable meteorology site. Countless times it's said good to go only to be let down multiple times. I'm not blaming the developers of the app as it's super clean and easy to use. That's a A+, where it's pulling it's data from is absolutely garbage.
The app, layout and information it provides are good but I doubt about the values it shows for example tonight is exceptionally clear with stunning sky transparency but it shows 59% cloud cover which is straight away out of no where. Please use better satellite data and not GFS data.
Great idea, but weather forecast massively off. Per the app it was overcast, in reality clear skies and good seeing. Too expensive for pro version if one if the key features is not accurate. Liked the idea though
Looks promising. While I don't mind paying once for software or desired upgrades, I despise subscriptions.
What a waste of a developers time. Nice layout but ruined by the greed of the developer who wants £21.99 per yearly subscription! Greed! Greed! Greed! Better apps that give you everything this one does and a whole lot more include Astro Panel, Astroweather and Clear Outside. Shame on the developer for trying to rip us all off. Shame on you!
Works very well and is accurate almost every time. A couple of more items of info I would like to see but doesnt take anything away from a nice app.
Very accurate weather forecast. Great for planning your stargazing for the night or days in the week. Has everything you need at a glance. I really like knowing when the moon will be up and how bright so I can plan my deep sky observing around it.
I use this app all the time for astrophotography and there is so much good information on here! Donated for the yearly subscription because it is that helpful! Great job, please keep up the awesome work!!!
Not very accurate. Compared to clear outside app and even the BBC weather app it has been wrong more than the first two I have mentioned so I will not be buying a subscription
I don't really know how they model transparency and seeing, but I can tell you that, at my location it's 100% off. Unreliabe. Meteoblue modelling is much better.
Good tool but having issues after update. It says unable to fetch weather conditions... hoping this is fixed soon so I can continue using to plan my outings. Plz help, devs! :)
Always incorrect for me for expample a few weeks back it was perfectly clear all night and was fantastic for stargazing but the app said it wasnt and its now saying its cloudy when its clear and sunny...
Great app but expensive paywall to the best features.
Easy to use, works, too simple to have bugs, lots of good info
Paid for the subscription but 2 days later I'm back to just getting a 24hr forecast again.
Very useful for checking astronomy viewing conditions.
Has all the info I need, and more, to plan my observing. Very pleased!
Full version member Samsung D20 Fe This app has proven very valuable to me and my stargazing and astrophotography.
Good application. The subscribing policy isn't optimal...
Easy to use and understand!
It hangs a lot whenever I try to use maps
All sorts of problems with update.. Dont do it..
GREAT APP FOR AMATEUR ASTRONOMERS! VERY HANDY, INFORMATIVE, EASY TO USE! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Go to app to determine if I should go to trouble of setting up telescope
good but fails on transparency measure
App is clearly laid out but the subscription is so high I could never consider paying for it. I appreciate this is likely a low-sales volume app but the annual subscription is more than nearly everything on the play store, not just astro apps. On top of that its annual. No doubt there are data acquisition costs which are not available publicly, but the pricing model has certainly pushed me away.
