4/5Lately…disappointed in central Florida forecasts
A few years ago I would have given this app 5 stars without hesitation. Lately, though, it has not been nearly as accurate a predictor of clear vs. cloudy skies. I don’t know what changes may have been made to this app or to the weather sources it uses, but I can’t rely on this app in the way I used to.

1/5Very Disappointed after “update”
- I’m honestly very disappointed after the update. Before, you could view 24 hours for free…I’ve had this app since the very beginning when it first rolled out and now to view more than 2-3 hours you have to pay. Which money isn’t the problem, it’s 99¢…it’s the principal. I hate it when beta testers and some of apps first users get left in the so called “dark”. Like, I’ve stuck with you through all the bugs since the beginning and now since your app is taking off this is how you’re gonna reward me ? Not cool in my opinion. Other than that, the app has been go to and very accurate. It has never let me down…until now.

2/5Warning about app
This app is apparently no longer supported/updated on IOS. The developer even points you to a mobile specific site to use when you subscribe, thinking the app is the latest. The app is nice, but if he no longer is going to support/update it and instead point subscribers at his mobile site , he needs to remove it from the store. He’s simply using the outdated app to point users to a mobile site, which enhances his income since he no longer needs to maintain an IOS app.

4/5Amazing but needs updating
An amazing app. Would rate 5 stars if light pollution map was up to date. The map is based off of NOAA 2015 data, which, in Texas, things are getting pretty crazy and cities are exploding lately… so not super reliable here anymore :( hopefully the data will be updated soon, if the app hasn’t been forgotten about…
