Light Pollution Map - Dark Sky

Free version is quite useable and buttons for viewable horizon and key worked fine. The key is out 4, 5.5, 5, 6, 7 and I found it a little hard to match initially to the zones but gives a good rough idea. £9.50 annual subscription for the upgrade seems a bit too steep for me. I'll save 100MB and use the web site.

Every feature is a paid feature. You can't adjust or modify it at all–its stuck showing light pollution, not opaque enough to see the map below. You can't tell where anything is. There is however, another app called Dark Sky Map. Its fully customizable, and looks great. Its not bogged down by buttons that do nothing. The difference between these apps is so great in fact that it compelled me to come all the way over here and write a review. You should look it up. Dark Sky Map. You're welcome.

Unusable. I've had the app for perhaps a year now, and it used to work. Recently, whenever I try to open it, I get a message "this app is not licensed..." and then I'm forced to close it. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, but the same error message pops up. I've tried emailing the developer, to no avail. Not happy. Can the developers please get back to me??? Also, I have the paid version, and as I've already paid for the next year, I don't want to uninstall, as I'll lose that money.

New version is greatly improved. Screen moves and updates much faster than previous versions. Wish it could get a little bit more detail lower in maps, but all around great tools for finding dark skis and trip planning. If you run into crashing issues uninstall, reboot your phone and then reinstall. Would recommend.

Perfect for what I need it for. As I get more in to filming, weather and light pollution conditions have become increasingly important. Sometimes I want the night sky in all it's brilliance while other times, I need the pollution to help give a scene a certain mood. This app really helps. Thank you to all on the team

Ugh.. half of the premium features don't even work for me. Complete waste of $10/yr. No cloud coverage map. No Aurora map. Both seem to be significantly rate limited and I frequently don't see the overlay. Often meaning that I end up never being able to enable it. Two stars because the light pollution map does indeed work. But if I'm paying $10 a year, these features better be working. Which, they arent.

Bought the pro version in hopes of being a good aid for my telescope sessions. Unfortunately I don't get any overlays at all (MTP Error), so the app turns out useless for me. I contacted the devolper via Mail a month ago and to this day I didn't get any reply besides an automated response. Pretty annoying if you ask me.

I downloaded this app hoping I wouldn't have to keep switching between between the light map and the real google maps app to find sites, but I still have to do that. It didn't solve my problem. I don't like whenever an app asks for an in-app rating and then sends you to the play store if you give it 5 stars. I rate any app poorly for using that trick. It's especially annoying because there's a banner that doesn't go away until you rate the app well.

I found this to be accurate and easy to use. I live in Nevada and you would think that the skies would be dark in most areas. It's not! This app is very helpful in finding areas nearby when the moon is dark and the skies are "open" for viewing.

They're trying really hard to get 5 stars no matter what you feel about the app. It only has light map and all other features are only for pro which isn't mentioned here(also it's 10$ which is 3 times the price of similar apps), also i cant zoom into light pollution map it's zooming out automatically (main reason for rating 1 star).

Seems quite functional, but feels cheap. Map keeps zooming out after switching to different map modes, buttons in Moon Tool lead to inexistent apps in Play Store, UI is inconsistent with font types, sizes snd colours all over the place. Didn't buy the full version - these 20$ seem a bit rough for such an unpolished experience.

It's a great interface and actually quite nice. But i paid for the yearly subscription for the other features offered and I had 2 unskippable video adverts in 5 minutes. Save your money, don't get the paid version.

Paid for the full version but it has lots of bugs. Really wanted it to work as it has potential so sent the developer numerous emails with bug details. To be fair some of the major problems (crashes) were sorted but months later still having problems. Uninstalled.

Absolutely pointless An app about light pollution, that has the brightest colours of any app I've ever seen! And no night mode that I could see. A quick Google search will bring up an image, and that's all this app is. Except the Google image won't be filled with ads. Avoid.

Amazing app with all necessary capabilities. It has everything from the dark sky map to the cloud cover map to the tool to check if there will be loght pollution on thw horizon to aurora tool, etc. etc. etc. Most of this is extra pay bur its a one-time purchase and soooo worth it.

Terrible, largely featureless unless you upgrade. Thus making the 'free' version a waste of time. Devs should just be honest from the start and make it a paid app only, rather than waste the users time and effort with the illusion it is anything else.

This app has been extremely helpful! As a photographer, weather as well as light pollution can make or break a great photo! I've found the upgrade to be very worthwhile for my needs, but the app works great without needing to upgrade

The 2 most important things that effect my astrophotography sessions are darkness and clouds. The pro version of this overlays these both so that I can see if it is worth a short road trip to set up.

I was watching the lesson on taking pictures of the moon and the Milky Way and the Instructor was using an app he called a light pollution map. I put that into the search on play store and this came up. I looked at a few others but this looked like the one he was using. I have played with it for a few minutes and now have to get back to the lesson. So far I'm impressed with this app.

Paid for the Pro upgrade (free isn't worth downloading). Currently the Aurora Overlay crashes the app. I have a Samsung S7 and I read another review stating the same problem on an S9. Contacted the company, haven't heard back.

Very easy to use. No ads also makes the experience very enjoyable. Recommended for all astrophotographers and not only!

Great app to plan your observing session especially if your thinking about going to a new site. Gives you an accurate view of light pollution in the area.
