Beautiful, Clean, Accurate
Dustin Brothers
This app is a must have tool for any amateur astronomer. Very well constructed and the localized weather upgrade is very accurate wherever I am.
Total garbage

It's perfectly clear today and the forecast is also clear for tonight and the app says conditions are poor! Yep I made sure I updated the data too. Want to know if you have a good scope night? Just look up!!!!
LOVE IT - but...

So I use this app all the time. I love it quick and easy and super fun to tweak. Is it accurate 100% of the time no, but what weather forecast is 100%. Now here is my but.... I would love to be able to SAVE favorite locations. I have a few locations that are hour and a half apart in opposite directions. I have to go in type in the city and state and zip. Just seems like a favorites would be a good option, BUT there no place to request app enhancements. Also if it is on the site there is no easy way to contact the developers. Again I am looking at it in a mobile device. STILL LOVE THE APP. good job
Good App. But....

It's a good for what it does. ESP dealing with weather. How can you get any better... But it would be great if it had an area for when the moon raises and sets with the phase of the moon.
In app purchase rip off

Downloaded this for a buck. However, need to purchase in app Weather Pack and US Astronomy weather for full functionality. Not paying another $6. Deleted.
Bad Data - unreliable

I don't know what weather service provider is being used by this app, but it is almost always incorrect. I even upgraded to all the bells and whistles in the app. Every weather service I can find is showing clear skies for tonight at "The Plains, VA", yet ScopeNights is showing mostly cloudy and poor conditions. There isn't a cloud in the sky and likely won't be tonight. Same thing last night and conditions were actually excellent although ScopeNights showed the opposite. The app is useless if the underlying data is bad..... I am starting to see a trend with bad forecasts. I almost did not attend the Cherry Springs Star Party this year based on ScopeNights. Thank god I did my own research and the other weather services showed good conditions. ScopeNights showed poor to fair, even a couple of hours before dark each day and the other weather services all showed clear skies and good conditions. It turned out to be some the best weather ever seen at CSSP.
Good app

Forecast is only as accurate as the weather data, so I can't knock the app for that. I like that all of the astronomy related data is in one nice to use interface, and the list of dark sky parks is cool.
Perfect!

This app is beautiful and made very well! Don't blame it for being inaccurate because weather patterns are becoming harder and harder to predict. It does very well with the information it is given!
Sort of accurate

Good idea for an app, just not always accurate. Not sure if the developer has control over the forecast, or if they are dependent on another service. Hasn't been updated for larger iPhones yet. Will up to 5 stars if still supported.
