Light Pollution Map - Dark Sky Reviews

Unable to search

The app is great. However, for some reason I cannot type in a location. It keeps saying unable to search try again. I have internet connection and all.

With recent update to 4.3.5 I notice when zooming on iPad that map resets to original full USA view (starting point) after a few seconds automatically rather than holding at zoomed view. Using icon to go my location (drilled down view) gets same result. So you can’t get to detailed view of LPM to look at sites. What’s the point of the LPM now?

A busy disappointed

For the pro price, I’m disappointed. The location manager part of the app just crashes when trying to use as does the aurora. There are issues with zoom resetting when weather overlay is on and it is telling when the darkness here ends in the middle of the day. Also, the calendar appears to have nothing in it.

Great app and customer service

eeowaa

As an amateur astronomer, this app is perfect for finding a good location to observe. If you are serious about astronomy, the paid version has enough useful features to justify a one-time purchase, plus you get priority support, which has proven beneficial to me. Hats off to the devs!

Free version pretty useless

Tried the free version. Didn’t do much. What it did do seemed very slow. Didn’t give much incentive to lay out 10 bucks for the “pro” version. Deleted.

Will not load light pollution layer, minimizes app into background mode

My Astrophotography instructor from a local College recommended this app. Very disappointed, it is unusable. Allowed it to use my location while open, selected light pollution map from list, the satellite view displayed. Only 30% of the light pollution overlay manages to load from the left side of iPad Pro display, then instantly the app closes! Double click my home button, and I see the app in the App Switcher. There are no updates in the App Store.

No Bortle rating

I figured for a light pollution map there would be a bortle rating of areas.......no. I deleted it after five minutes of playing with it.
