Ratings and reviews

Why isn't there a legend in app? It wastes time to go back and forth between the app and web page every time when they could simply add a legend right above the prediction, it would be simple and unobtrusive, but for an app that costs as much as it does on a subscription basis and not include such a simple convenience feature is ridiculous, there's a lot of other free, more accurate, easier to use and read apps than this one. Save your money

App description says 30 day trial but only gives an in app option for 7 days. Would have given them a shot had they not been in accurate in the description :( unfortunately I feel 7 days is not enough time to evaluate a forecast app in the Pacific northwest where are chances are it's going to be to cloudy a fair bit of every week almost always. To bad as it had some buzz in my local photo community. Please update your description for accuracy.

This app is complete and utter rubbish. I wish I could show you screenshots from the Skyfire version in TPE on an iPhone vs. the standalone version on Android. Let's just say that there was a beautiful sunrise today and this Android user missed it. But if I had an iPhone, it showed that it was going to be incredible, which it was. It's too bad you can't give zero stars, because they deserve as many stars as much as they deserve my money. Thanks bunches Skyfire! Say bye-bye to this subscriber.
