  • Love it

    I do amateur astrophotography and this app has been incredibly helpful with planning, seeing expectations and so much more. Their cloud forecasting is incredibly more accurate than any other app I have found and that includes our local news stations. Thanks for the assist.
  • Love it, just one thing

    Hopefully the developer will read this. I love this app, but I just have one thing I don’t like. It doesn’t have widgets. iOS 14 widgets. Pleaseeeee make widgets I love the app I just wish I didn’t have to open the app every time for information. I know it seems petty and lazy but I love iOS widgets. Thanks in advance.

  • Excellent apps

    Very convenient to use and easy to understand, but the forecast is a bit aggressive, so after seeing a clear sky, I still double check other forecast to be sure.
  • Great way to check weather for astronomy

    It’s really valuable to know what the clouds are likely to do for planning star gazing or imaging. Several apps provide info on this but astropheric has far and away the best user interface. You can easily figure out exactly what the conditions should be on simple screen. Moon light, various levels of clouds, seeing, transparency, sunrise/sunset. Sometimes it misses a forecast but in general it’s a great planning tool

  • Best Astronomy Weather App

    This app has the best and most accurate weather for astronomy. It pulls in variables such as upper atmospheric conditions, smoke, and dust. Then it breaks it down into three categories, clouds, seeing and transparency so you can plan your evening on what objects to view. Includes site mode to show you lat/long coordinates for mount setup with accuracy reporting. Also displays moon cycle and phases. Best astronomy weather app.

  • Great app

    Really handy app for checking the weather before a night of observing. The forecast is actually quite accurate and the level of detail is amazing on the type of viewing conditions to expect. Very glad I have this app!
  • Dependable and Accurate Forecasts

    I like to photograph the night sky and I use this app daily. The visibility forecasts are accurate and gives you future forecasts that helps me make decisions on the best times to plan my outings.
  • Astrospheric is the greatest

    I use the site to plan my observation nights and find the site to be very accurate in its forecasts, uncanny really. I mean with all the lousy observing weather that we have been having lately a site like this really helps. An example is a few nights back during a particularly gloomy evening when I would have just given up and went to bed , Astrospheric forecast a break in the clouds for a given time for about 2 &1/2 hours and I prepared for it and was able to get a couple of hours of observing in . Thanks Astrospheric.

  • Great help with astrophotography

    I’ve used this app for months and it’s level of accuracy has been impressive. I’m new to astrophotography and I’ve been able to plan productive nights with my telescope and this app.
  • Excellent app for telescope observers!

    This has been very helpful and reasonably accurate as to sky conditions related to observing. I like the cloud cover map that I have trouble finding elsewhere. From the detailed hour by hour look at the next few days to the big picture forecast for the next week, I really like the features. Suggestions for improvement: have a way to save favorites locations, and the ability to zoom in on the map.
