4/5Great meteor guide
Great for planning when to look up into the sky for watching meteors. Like that it tells you the outlook for the shower given the current moon phase. Also like that you can set a reminder directly in the app. Very handy that it works in offline mode so if you are in a remote area to view the shower you can still get info about the shower. Needs the ability to add notes within the app so that if you viewed a shower you can jot down info like: where you were and how many you saw. Then give a visual clue in the list to help you find those quickly or filter for those that have notes.

5/5Beautiful interface
Easy to use, representation of the year’s meteor are listed in nice graphs. Tapping a shower listing gives all the information you need. None of the screen is wasted and yet very well organized. While in one of the meteor listings you can tap Alert to add to your default calendar. A must-have app.

5/5Great Application
Informative application, keeps me apprised of upcoming meteor showers. Even allows for reminders to be added directly to your phone or device so you can remember to get outside and observe. Great technical support, answers to questions almost immediately! Highly recommended meteor shower app.!!

5/5Excellent program for meteor observing
I took a chance buying this app as there were no reviews. I am very glad that I did purchase this well designed program. Very intuitive and well laid out. All the info needed to plan a future meteor shower observation session is easily shown. Moon phase icons next to the shower name and date work great. One click takes to a very detailed info about the event. You can easily go back in time too to get historical data. It is hard to believe that this is a free app. Kudos to Howard Edin for this great contribution to the world of backyard astronomy. This app has won a spot in my top 10! Thank you very much.

4/5Wish I would have found this before...
Missed the Perseids because being a newbie, I read the peak times wrong on the web and missed it. This app is very specific. The two only improvements I can suggest so far is 1) ability to add to iPhone calendar as an event, and 2) a sort of 'rating system' on the main screen as far as how visible/active a particular event will be (maybe this can't be done because of varying viewing locations?). But definitely very cool app if you love to watch shooting stars! :)
