Great Application
DSutfin
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.!!
Beautiful 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.
Excellent 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.
Wish 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! :)
Great start to an awesome app!

This app gives all the information for viewing meteor showers throughout the year. Well laid out. Can't wait to see the future functionality improvements.
Great app, with one suggestion...

I love your comments on the visibility and moon phase. It could be much improved by adding moon rise and set times, as you did recently for the sun.
"Adjust Location" Does Not

There is no way to manually set a location. The Adjust Location button only allows selecting the current location - That's no help for predictions for remote locations.
Seems good, but

I just installed it and I like it. It looks like you can set alerts, but the app locks up and crashes every time I hit the alert button. Glad I only paid 99 cents. It needs to be fixed.
