  1. 5/5The best astronomy weather app

    First I tried the Clear Outside app. Terrible UI and totally outdated format and crashed often. Next I tried Scope Nights. Definitely a step up, but then it started to have a pop up saying there was an error for every single one of my saved locations and they would appear every time a new page loaded. With a lot of saved locations it became really bothersome to clear so many pop up notifications whenever I was using the app. This app has none of those problems and a much better system for saving favorite locations. I don’t except I’ll need to keep hunting for the perfect astronomy weather app anymore.

  2. 5/5Thank you!

    While a beginner with the night sky, this app is so helpful, with all kinds of options and info about the various factors in the atmosphere. I recently stayed up a bit later (upon reading elsewhere of good viewing), and wondered just why all seemed somewhat hazy/ cloudy….or something. Remembering to check this app ended up telling me all I needed to know (and then some, what with the options!). It's now my go-to. It's also so good on the iPad.

  3. 5/5Fantastic app!!

    This was clearly made by someone who’s just trying to make an effective, easy-to-use app to fulfill a clear, well-defined function, and who knows what’s needed and what’s not. Thank you for an excellent app! I had NO qualms whatsoever about getting the Plus version. Thank you!

  4. 2/5App crashes, support messaging does not work

    After purchasing the app, I found that if you select the Apple weather tab, it causes the app to crash, and is no longer able to be opened and has to be uninstalled/re-installed to be able to use it. The app has a link to their support messaging page, but when you try to send a message it errors out and says “ The form was unable to submit. Please contact the site administrator.“

  5. 5/5Amazing productivity

    Powerful way to see multiple Astro weather sites all managed by location favorites which carry over to each weather service you use.

    Why not help out by rating or reviewing the new version! There are never popups inside the app to ask you (annoying!), which leads to less reviews than other apps.

Coordinates still available below and also in Location manager. -Improved Clear Sky Chart page display. -Replaced obsolete Iridium flares with daily bright satellite passes. -Fix for ISS passes not returning for some locations. -NOAA Water Vapor page got alternative links to image loops, second nearest depending on location. -Size of main weather view is increased for most devices. -Dimmer, Green/White night mode options added. -Quick Help that demonstrates how the 7Timer view is easily read.
