### 1/5 — It’s gone

*2024-05-05, version 3.4.1*

A wasted opportunity not to continue such a brilliant device.

### 1/5 — Company is dead and bankrupt

*2024-02-14, version 3.4.0*

Please remove this app the company is dead and bankrupt and the app no longer opens.

### 1/5 — All but dead…

*2023-10-01, version 3.4.0*

The app doesn’t function anymore. It should be removed from the App Store.

### 1/5 — We’ve been abandoned

*2023-07-20*

Apparently, BloomSky is out of business. Only a few basic functions continue to work, but most do not. There was no warning and users have been unable to get any answers. The hardware is basically worthless.

### 1/5 — MIA

*2023-04-29, version 3.4.0*

Once in a while the camera wakes up.
At least we still get weather data.

### 1/5 — No Longer Supported.  Useless…

*2023-03-18*

As others have mentioned, the service no longer shows timelapse videos, no live pictures, and simply useless.  I have been using BloomSky for years, and now it’s simply a shell of what was a very promising crowd/cloud based weather system.

### 1/5 — Service is Terrible

*2023-01-29, version 3.4.0*

As a Bloomsky user and owner of a Sky 2, I can say that the one has passed for this company.  No more Timelapse video, no video of the day, and right now - nothing.  Stay away unless they make major improvements.

### 1/5 — Disappointed in evolution of Bloomsky

*2023-01-04*

Got in on the Kickstarter launch and was happy with this product and service until 2019. 

I’d like to switch over to a new product and service. What options are in your future with Bloomsky in the rearview mirror? Seems like the camera/timelapse is a feature that is hard to find.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-12-09, version 3.4.0*

The entire BloomSky community is down. Are you suggesting your services are working?

### 1/5 — Adorar to have been bought out by Asian company

*2022-11-12, version 3.4.0*

The original owners of the company have been bought out by an Asian company.  Can this app be trusted. There has been no update on company information after buy out.
