Ratings and reviews

Expensive and the free version is pretty limited. I'm glad I checked it out. There are some nice features, but my main Android astronomy app supplies similar information and its 1 time lifetime payment was less than the yearly cost of this app, so it doesn't make much sense to pay for this one. Shop around. There are alternatives that are as good and far less expensive.

Sorry to say that the app is now totally useless unless you pay for a subscription. A few years ago you could view the conditions 3 days out, then they changed it to 1 day out, and now you don't even get your location, just a random preview, unless you pay up. The prices are not incredibly outrageous, but for an app I won't use all the time (with data that can also be found elsewhere) I don't find it worthwhile. A shame, the extra sky data was nice to have.

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!!
