To costly

Smoke_33

The cost of all the in app purchases that make it useful is to much. I can accomplish the same thing with a link to my local Clear Sky Chart.

Great concept, poor execution. It often, actually more often than not, fails to load a forecast. It throws up an error message stating no internet connection found. It must be a catch all error pop up because my devices certainly have internet connectivity at the time the message appears. I know, because when it fails I have to use Safari to look up the forecast on line. Having said, the 25% of time that it does work, it's forecast is sketchy, at best.

Not. Very good

Have installed all of the applicable add ons and still find the product frustrating. Mainly due to the lack of help or documentation. My inability to find a way of setting up a personal site location was really a surprise. The web site seems to be only for selling products. The main support system seems to be tied to blogs and the social media sites. When I tried to find info on my present location I received a clear skies chart not the scope nights window. This was on the scope nights web site. The need for add ons to get the program to work was a real surprise. The add ons needed to use the App will be at least $4 more.

Total waste

When I installed app, it indicated good conditions and it was raining! Rarely accurate. Don't recommend.

Waste of money

You can get the same information elsewhere for free. And the app is not as user friendly as it should be for what I paid.

Top rate astronomy weather app!

I have found this app to be just what I need to anticipate weather breakthroughs here in the rainy Pacific Northwest. There is a bit of a learning curve to figure out the meaning of the symbology, but once figured out, the app displays great “at a glance” usability. Once I had learned my way around, I downloaded all the in-app purchases. I couldn’t be more pleased. By mid afternoon the app had alerted me to clearing skies in three of my favored location settings. What a treat! Kudos to the developer!

Call it nickel and dime

Works ok till you try to get info that should already be included. Then the pan hand rears its ugly presence. Dude, just bundle it all from the get-go. I would have paid a little more up front, but not now...

Good but add ons costly

Although it usually works very well, I find the fact that you cannot add more than two observing sites irritating. You can add as many sites as you want, free, on the weather app that comes with the iPod, but you have to shell out 5 bucks for Scope Nights. In addition, many of the features such as the dark sky map are only available with these costly add ons. Also, you cannot easily (or perhaps at all) delete observing locations and add another in its place. You can only adjust basic settings like the time period you are forecasting for if you pay $4. I wouldn't recommend scope nights unless you don't mind wasting money for a paltry bit of added convenience.

Not reliable when it worked, now it doesn't work at all.

Seldom was ever correct with its forecasts. More of a gimmick than anything. Too bad, it really has a polished look. It may have had potential in its early development, but then it turned into a money pit, as the developer charged for simple features that should've been standard from the beginning. Now, it doesn't even work....period. This app should be removed from the store, the developer has clearly given up on the upkeep of this app. Don't waste your money, people!

Ok. Could be better

This is ok for amateur astronomers. I was looking for additional data such as visibility, clarity, light pollution, etc. apparently this app does not offer this.
