Best Weather App

I got this for Astrophotography as most people do, I’m sure. Turns out it hasn’t been wrong yet. It’s so much better than anything else I’ve tried.

Not working

I use the online version and downloaded this.. impossible to set location.. screen flicks up for a couple of seconds and then disappears.

My favorite app for astronomy weather!

Why are there two apps..?

I have one “Clear Outside” and another “Clearoutside”. The app logo is the same and the app itself is broadly the same, just a slightly different UI.

Great App for Sky Watchers

Excellent app for planning astrophotography sessions. All the data you need to plan for same day or later in the week. For a while I’ve been using the web version of this but the app is great to have and includes lots of details.

One request to the developers. Please add a multi-day view so that you can see the week ahead summary on one page. This could be centred on midnight or midday just like the website. Thanks
