Has potential, but needs work
This 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.brianfulda
Developer Response
This is incorrect - the app does not pull any data at all from the Canadian astronomical forecast. We do not include a seeing forecast because we are yet to find one that is accurate and reliable enough to use. You do not have to delete a location to make a different location the home location. You simply edit the location you wish to be the home location and check the home location checkbox :-) We will be improving the location search options in a future update including the ability to add your current GPS location or enter the coordinates yourself manually. For now you can manually enter the coordinates, simply choose any location to add and then edit the description and coordinates in the next screen.Has promise but needs work
This 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.Zoerein
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.wndsrfgrl
App is spot on
I'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.RDC44
Helpful and useful for Astronomy
Get 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 Veteran
Bugs
Just 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.AstroGirlBunny
