Radar is premium subscription
Update. O1-19-20. Developer contacted me 4 months after last review so I gave one more star. Explained some things and wants to work with me on the location not updating.
Update. 8-10-19. I physically relocated To a new state and says gps auto update but it won’t change locations. This is useless. Must be a bug but can’t get it to update to my current location. Should not be difficult at all.
Original review. Downloaded and took a quick spin around. And really like what i see until i get to the radar option. Overall I think this is a great app I would have paid for but not for the subscription amount. Radar is only for subscription and to me is too basic a function and covered by too many other good apps for free. I would definitely pay for this app one time but not subscription. Really tired of everything going to subscription. Especially with apps I will lose track and keep paying and paying. I guess that is what they bank on.Show lessMicheleB1
Double dip

Hello, this is a glitch with the Apple payment system for the app to recognize your purchase. Please contact us and we can send you a guide on how to fix this issue.Waste of money
The Sunrise/Sunset quality scores are useless. I can plan a shoot based on this only for it to be completely inaccurate. The Quality Scores then update retrospectively just to add insult to injury. Recently spent £50 on a train 5 hour round trip journey to photography a famous bridge in Scotland as the Quality Score predicted an 80% score for sunset. Post sunset the QS updated to 12%.
I have no idea what the Fotoscore number is or how it is calculated. I have been stood in a rainy miserable day in Edinburgh and it’s been at 10. I have been stood looking at the most beautiful sunset light and it’s been 0. It seems to be a random arbitrary number.
All of the other paid features are next to useless.
There are a number of bugs with regards to notifications. Constantly sending them when you have turned Notifications off, or sending multiple of the same ones over and over again. I tried to flag this but they do not accept screenshots over 1.5 megabytes (?!).
Stick to the free version. Don’t pay for this.Show lessstevenlennie
My Location (Auto GPS) doesn’t update location
Auto GPS function does not work. I tried to refresh it several times, uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but the location is stuck to the original location. Sent an email to support but got no response.tredyu

Hello, we did not receive a contact from you -- did you send it to our e-mail directly, or did you use the in-app support system? Our e-mail is a gmail account and it is very strict with spam filtering and it may have gone to spam unintentionally. I would always suggest using the in-app support system if you can. I would definitely love to fix this issue you are having with the auto GPS system. Please reach out to me!Great Features In The New Version!
I love the new Sky Command Tab. Set against beautiful backgrounds the information is concise and useful. The Sun and Moon location tools overlaid on my position make planning much easier. Directly above is the Golden Hour, Blue Hour, Nightfall, and Dawn Times. It’s great for daylight shooting!
For nighttime photography the Aurora tab tells me if the Northern Lights will be visible. Combining that with the Moon Phase, and Weather sections, and you know the odds of an Aurora vigil paying off.
This app replaces several other apps I’ve bought. The subscription is reasonably priced. All told, this is an app well worth the investment for anyone interested in either photography, or the outdoors!Show lessSF Presidio
Was a good app...
When initially downloaded several months ago it was a great app - then started giving me the same weather warning over & over again &. Now just crashes as soon as I open it - please update & sort this app out!Scott-Zorro
Crashes every time I open the app
I’ve tried uninstalling the app, restarting my phone and still this app crashes every time. Please fix this.Marcappleuk
Crashes and will not work
The app installs well and asks to locate for forecasting, etc. when you give approval it follows by crashing and continues to crash with every activation thereafter. Looked hopeful but ultimately only a scandalous heartbreaker. Don’t waste your time on false promises.wvgsosad

This app used to work. Now whenever I select a location it automatically quits out. I e tried restarting my phone. I’ve tried resetting my phone. Even tried deleting this app off my phone and reinstalling it multiple times. Tried setting the app to use my location and also not use it - failed. Tried setting push notifications off, and on - still failed. I loved this app; what happened to it?!? Did you guys write in some algorithm that disables use after a certain number of uses without purchasing it? Seems like it to me, and just when I started to like it...Show lessdailydepiction
