  • Great developer response

    The developer has fixed the issue I was experiencing. It now works perfectly.
  • Second to none

    Scope Nights is in class by itself. With the 2.5 update it surpasses even itself in ease of use.
  • A little gem for all astronomers

    This piece of software is perfect for planning your observing, whether you’re an amateur of even a professional Astronomer. It does the job, with no excess baggage. Brilliant!
  • Moon rise and set times

    Edit: Initially gave four stars. The feature I'd have liked to have seen added has been included in the 2.5 update. Looking forward to testing it out. :)

    Original review:
    A good solid app, but it would be a great improvement if it gave to rise and set times for the moon.
    If you're wanting to pick a night with no moon, the app will happily point to a night with a new moon, but completely ignore nights with a full moon that's below the horizon.

    Developer Response

    Many thanks for your Scope Nights feedback. Scope Nights 2.5 is now available on the App Store and is fully compatible with iOS 11. It also includes moon rise, set, altitude & phase percentage. If you find Scope Nights 2.5 useful it would be much appreciated if you could update your review. Thanks again & clear skies!
  • Indispensable for amateur astronomers

    I use this app to plan all my observing sessions. It has all the information that I need in one place, not only informing me if it’s going to be a clear night but also what humidity to expect (important because high humidity may fog up your telescope) but also the moon phase. You can set the parameters that could limit your particular observing requirements so that it only gives you the “green light” when all the conditions are just right. Excellent.

  • Buggy with IOS11

    As above...
  • Really fantastic astro app! Update

    Very impressed with the UI. It is my goto app for astro weather. Well worth the purchase. Will be recommending to others.

    * not working on ios 11. Please fix.
  • Need to do your homework.

    This app only gets it 50% right.
  • Great app

    I have had this app for a few years and seen it improve gradually to the point that I find myself using it regularly along with myCSC to plan my observing sessions. I really like how easy it is to get observing forecasts for different locations with important details and a much longer forecast than one gets with myCSC.

  • Superb App

    I was hesitant about paying £4.99 for an app to tell me the weather for my Astrophotography, but having now used it for a few months it has proved to be the only app that I refer to when planning to get my equipment out. Of course it is reliant upon the British weather, but that's life in the UK! Get it, you won't regret it. Would love a destop version as well?
