Editing the longitude does not workI love the app, the data seems accurate , but it does not let me edit the longitude of any location It lets me edit the latitude but when I click on the longitude to change i, the phone vibrates and the numbers are not editable….! ( this is on an Apple iPhone 11 Pro) Since most locations and small cities are not found in the app, the only alternative is to edit the GPS coordinates… but the app doesn’t even provide that which is a pity.Ulysses_2015Version: 1.0

BugsJust tried it out. Can't believe they didn't test their app. When you go to select a location, it actually selects the one below it. I tried a few different locations and they all did the same thing. So to add a location I have to tap on the one on the list above it. Its location search itself doesn't always work. I looked for Salem and nothing showed up. Then I did a search of "Salem, M" only because I know what county it's in. And it finally brought it up as an option. Buggy app which makes me distrust the weather readings it provides for an area are incorrect..AstroGirlBunnyVersion: 1.0

Problems but still a decent appThis is a good app for photographers. Paired with an app like Photo Pills one can get a reasonable estimate of conditions for landscape photography. The problem with the app is that the developer isn’t very responsive. A comment was made a year ago about the inability to change the temperature from Centigrade to Fahrenheit and it hasn’t been implemented. I guess with Brexit they haven’t had the time to make a rather simple improvement. Plus the documentation is totally lacking. I had to read the reviews to finally figure out how to change the default home location from the U.K. To my home in the U.S..GLS123Version: 1.0

Excellent App with one major and idiotic flawThis app is fantastic, it’s very useful and reasonably easy to use. Sure, the interface looks like it belongs on an iPhone 3, but the information is there. The one major and infuriating flaw is that the app only allows you to enter *positive* latitude and longitude coordinates. So you can’t set locations outside of cities in all of America or the Southern Hemisphere. Pretty stupid oversight that demonstrates the Eurasian bias of the developers (lol)..FKComputersVersion: 1.0

Bug when editing locationWanted to add locations that I travel to frequently, one of which is not listed in the search function. Reading another review, developer states you choose any location and edit the coordinates. That’s fine, but the app only lets me edit the longitude, not the latitude. It’s ok if you can find a location that’s pretty close to your latitude, at least you won’t be far out, but annoying that you can do one, not the other..SdhannantVersion: 1.0

Promising but dated appThis app was designed for smaller iOS devices and hasn’t been updated for modern, larger iPhones. When, for example, I open it on a iPhone X Max, I get a black bar at the top and bottom of my display, not availing itself of the full screen. To make the app avail itself of the full screen would is a fairly trivial change and the fact that this hasn’t been done suggests that this iOS app may have been neglected for the past few years. The app works, but is a tad outdated..Robert RyanVersion: 1.0

Has promise but needs workThis app uses the format of the clear skies astronomy calendar to communicate weather information in a compact form. Great idea—but the execution needs some more work. Default for user’s home location seems to always be a site in the U.K. Searches for other locations many times return weird or useless results. Suggestion: provide an option for users to make their current location the default home location..ZoereinVersion: 1.0

So far its okThis is the only app that offers a forecast for low, to high clouds which is great but I do wish it was clearer on what the numbers mean. I think I have a basic idea but its not very straightforward. I would probably use it more if everything was more user friendly. Not sure how accurate it is partially because of this issue. This app has huge potential so I hope to see some improvements that would take fhis from ok to amazing.Jessicarnahan87Version: 1.0

OkayAccurate most of the times but unfortunately when you try to save the location it won’t let you put in negative sign for longitude. Therefore the location feature is really useless for me. Other than that it’s okay..AA5MCVersion: 1.0

Dew pointTHE only free app that give Dew Point forecast. At 500kB, this app is a gem and launches extremely fast. Yes it has small issues but there are workarounds for every one so I find it very underrated! I hope they update the forecast source after darksky shuts down, but keep the UI the same and app size low.Ios 5 was the bestVersion: 1.0

Helpful and useful for AstronomyGet cloud predictions at different altitudes, sky brightness, ISS flyovers etc. Just about any detail that would affect astronomy viewing is listed in a easy to understand format. Selecting a location can be frustrating as there is a bug but it can be overcome by typing enough name detail to eliminate multiple possibilities. Otherwise the app works well..Bari VeteranVersion: 1.0

Where are the settings?It’s a good app overall, but where are the settings? I want to change the degrees to Fahrenheit, but it doesn’t give me the option. It would also be nice to provide the exact location (lat, long) because one city may be so large that the weather is a bit different..WndsrfgrlVersion: 1.0

Excellent and Accurate!I don’t know why the low reviews. This weekend, it told me that there was a narrow 4 hour window of sunshine and clear skies near the South Fork of the Snake. It permitted me to miss days of coming clouds and nail some autumn foliage when I was free to shoot. This is really, really useful! I hope that it keeps being developed!.IdadocVersion: 1.0

Can’t edit longitude (but can edit latitude)A very handy app with some weird bugs. Biggest problem is that editing locations allows one to edit the latitude, BUT NOT THE LONGITUDE! Tapping on longitude brings up a numeric keypad (just like with latitude), but keypresses do nothing and the iPhone just buzzes an error. Completely limits tweaking custom locations! It’s free, though..FpsurgeonVersion: 1.0

Only Celsius and no negative lat/longOverall I like the AI and the info it presents, but really should add an option for temps in F or C (only C currently). Also I want to add some remote sites I go to, but you can’t use negative numbers for Lat/long so those of us in the West or Southern hemispheres can’t put in coordinates..MfrazzzVersion: 1.0

Great app, but …This is a very nice and simple app. But you can not add a location west of the meridian or south of the equator as you can not add negative lat/long coordinates. This should be a simple fix, but I notice someone else has commented on this 2 years ago and there’s been no update..Dope PedallersVersion: 1.0

Good weather, bad UIThe weather predictions are very good but the UI has some serious issues. Adding locations for example is really hit or miss- the search function is super limited and janky, and adding places by coordinates literally doesn’t work..CrustyPlungerVersion: 1.0

Pretty goodLove the detailed forecast. As accurate as any other forecast app; can be a hit and miss but I haven’t find anything better..Rince ArtVersion: 1.0

App is spot onI've gone through a few weather apps. This is just spot on. I can depend on this while planning a night looking at the stars. Just a wonderful app..RDC44Version: 1.0

Not accurateRegarding forecasting, in the NYC area...this app is way off. Anyone can look outside for current cloud coverage, but for future...this app isn’t accurate. I realize weather is unpredictable but then why make an app? Stick with other weather apps.ISOnowVersion: 1.0

Needs work, but promising.The app makes it very difficult to select locations, and it has some crash bugs that I’ve ran into. Useful for some things I guess, such as current locations..Turf LordVersion: 1.0

Great info!Really nice summary of weather affecting night photography. I can’t find a settings function though; it’d be nice to see Fahrenheit data but I really don't ‘need’ it..Tom TeeVersion: 1.0

CoordinatesHi, just wanted to advise you that editing the east/west coordinate is impossible to do with the negative sign in front. Thing is that once you remove it there’s no button for it so you can’t put it back in. Kinda disappointed :(.Zēüs_Eagles01Version: 1.0

Has potential, but needs workThis forecast app is usually accurate, but it can be difficult to find locations in the US. Since it’s a UK based app, it lists the county in the search function and can be difficult to actually select the right town you’re trying to search for. In addition, I don’t know why they didn’t include the seeing forecast from the Canadian astronomical forecast, which is where this app pulls data from. It would be so easy to implement, but seems like a big oversight. It would be even better if users were able to input their own coordinates of their location. Lastly, it doesn’t let you easily update your home location without deleting it and re-entering it again. If they fix these issues, it would be a much better app..BrianfuldaVersion: 1.0

Wrongly shows 0% cloud under cloudy skiesOver the past couple of days, the app gave a forecast for tonight (USA location) of zero cloud cover after sunset, which means zero percent of the sky should be cloudy. Right now the app is still showing the present time (a couple of hours after sunset) as zero cloud cover. But when I go outside, 50% of the sky is cloudy. This isn’t the first time this has happened. The whole point of the app is to know the prospects for shooting the night sky, so I’m disappointed. When the sky is 0% cloudy, the app shows 0% as expected..JustWorxVersion: 1.0

Need workThis developers website works well and is useful. So I downloaded this app onto my iPad and am disappointed. Firstly it isn’t truly built for the iPad. So the screen is built for the phone and doesn’t even pretend to use the entire screen. Secondly when I attempt to enter coordinates I can’t enter the longitude of the observatory because there is no negative sign or field to allow me to indicate the longitude is West. So wanting to evaluate sites in the West I can’t use the app. I’ll be deleting the app and sticking to the website. At least it was free..G_ChipTVersion: 1.0

Still needs workI’ve been using this application for years & will continue to do so, but if the bug & features reviewed here were actually fixed/implemented, I would actually pay for this app! It absolutely MUST have the longitude bug sorted, and for a C/F temp toggle. The Location search is terribly fickle - nothing like searching for a place & seeing a dozen identical results - “Chicago, Chicago, United States; Chicago, Chicago, United States; Chicago, Chicago, United States...” - all with presumably different coordinates..Dude0043Version: 1.0

Is it supported? Not a chance.I have never been able to enter a negative longitude number for locations in the west because they restrict the input keyboard to numbers and a decimal point. This means every US location that I can’t find in their small database can’t be added because it shows up in China. This would be an easy fix, but in 2 years they haven’t done it. Update: years later, still no fix. Come on, FLO!.DigiPayVersion: 1.0

Good when it worksThis is a great idea, but the execution is absolutely horrible. Next to no locations appear when I search cities, states, or anything. So when I go to manually enter gps coordinates it won’t let me put in a negative longitude (I’m pretty sure all North America is negative) so it’s absolutely useless. Occasionally the search will work and I’ll get good results, but it’s about a 1% chance the location search feature works..Slater58Version: 1.0

Where is the developer?You’d think with 6 years of reviews about the failure to enable minus latitude searches that the developer might have gotten around to dealing with that. The search is functionally useless as developed. What a shame. This app could meet a significant need if it really worked..ElfpixVersion: 1.0

No way to enter negative coordinatesWhen entering the lat and lon for a location, there seems to be no way to make them negative. Since half of all lat and lon values are negative, this is a pretty big oversight. So far, the only way I have got a negative value entered is to use the current location abilities. But that obviously only works if I am in that particular place..SnohndVersion: 1.0

Did they try USING this thing before publishing it?Search for "St. Louis, MO", get 10 results, all "Dallas, Dallas, TX", then the app crashes. Try to use lat/long instead, except they force the numeric keypad which gives no way (that I can tell) to enter a negative sign to indicate west longitude. I have no idea if the forecasts are accurate or not since I can't even get that far. Deleted..Badnick395Version: 1.0

Great potential, but buggy implementationThe app is simple and would be my goto weather app (and I would not mind paying for it), but it's terribly buggy. Location search & selection barely works. Longitude input field is broken (Latitude works fine)..Odcinek63735Version: 1.0

Not ready for primetime!!!Can’t change temperature to Farenheit. It would be nice if it had some kind of info button where it explained the usefulness of each measure..Orlando MergalVersion: 1.0

Missing lunar info and can’t change longitudeI had no issues with this app until I moved to a different location in the same city. After moving, when I tap on “current location,” the lunar info goes missing. I tried editing my new home location and it wouldn’t let me change the latitude. I deleted the old home position to re-enter my new one using a search and clicking on a position within the database and now the lunar info is missing from both my home position and my current location. Frustrating how it worked fine before when I tapped on current location and now it won’t work at all no matter what I do..C-F-L FanVersion: 1.0

Had for over 2 yearsI have to say this is mostly useless in Canada. Have been using for well over two years as a planning tool for sunrise and sunset photography. Typically it is wrong 75% of the time in regards to cloud coverage. Somewhat useless..0182837465Version: 1.0

Wish I couldWish I could use it but it crashes every time I try to add my location. The info in the location it does show would be very useful..Sand021101Version: 1.0

Heard a lot of great things about thisUnfortunately it is not intuitive when it comes to finding locations. It finds my city Center no problem, but nothing else nearby. Through some digging I was able to find a longitude and latitude option, but the latitude field won’t let me edit the values unless I delete what’s there, and upon deletion I am incapable of entering a negative value. As I live at -96°, this is completely useless to me. Would love to use this app, but alas I cannot..ZacrilegeVersion: 1.0

Crashes, poor location searchingWorks just fine if you live in the default Exeter UK but wouldn’t let me search for locations other than close to where I am at the moment and even when I add those it seems to crash 50% of the time. Looks like the app hasn’t been updated in a while. Deleting it..ThewilsaVersion: 1.0
