Great app and plenty of useful information but Jesus please just update it!

Critical Flaw

The fact that you canโ€™t manually enter or edit a negative longitude makes this app an excellent example of worthless design. And this hasnโ€™t been corrected in over four years? Ridiculous.

Do these folks even use their app?

Just try entering a custom latitude/longitude, I dare you. The keyboard has no negative sign and the longitude is uneditable. I do my astrophotography in remote areas away from the towns and cities in their database (and the reason is Mr Bortle), yet this app is useless for any area outside their databases of high Bortle locations. Test your darn software!

Devon!!!!!

You what if I want Devon on my home page I would move there. I want to be able to put my own home location. For that mistake Im deleting the app!!! Devon!!!!!

Inaccurate ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ

100% of the time it is inaccurate. Says it will be clear and always cloudy.

Most accurate weather app

I look at 3 weather apps every morning and find this one is the most accurate. There may be others that pull from Meteosource Weather API. I like the clunky GUI. All the information is present. Thanks for the app!

Pretty Good So Far

I was trying to plan an astrophotography session and got 4 different weather forecasts from 4 different services so I tried this app. It was accurate as it turned out, along with only one weather forecast. This app is also recommended by professional photographers online.

Works

But need slight refinement app forgets the moon or doesnโ€™t show the is
App has potential but lacks good reporting and standard features

Location doesnโ€™t work

Unfortunately I cannot choose any location rendering it useless, shame as itโ€™s very helpful otherwise

The moon

Have you forgotten the moon at my location (33947) itโ€™s out and above me but the the app says no moon tonight and how come the home button is not my location???
App has potential but lacks good reporting and standard features

Clunky & old

The look is very clunky & the lazy developer has not bothered to update its look just because it kind of does the job- Does it! Other developers reading this, please usurp this app with a better look & usability

Needs work

I love the format, but the app crashes constantly on my iphone and like other users I am frustrated that I cannot easily enter latitude and longitude. Searching for observatories in remote locations is difficult. Too bad since the web browser version is quite nice.

Please update this app for newer phones!

๐Ÿ‘ŽGarbage๐Ÿ‘Ž

Donโ€™t waste your time. Doesnโ€™t open in full screen, useless for iPad. Version hasnโ€™t been updated in 10 years. ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž

Devon

Why do I see Devon Everytime I open this app, how vain is the developer? I imagine the reviews about bad cloud data is because it is set to Devon Everytime it opensโ€ฆ

Good App but has critical issue

The forecasts are accurate, but I cannot input any negative value in longitude. Please fix and it will be a perfect App.

This app has not ever worked

Iโ€™ve deleted, installed & reinstalled again & again. Latitude & longitude still can be edited. I enter the location this app populated & it shows India. Horrible

BUG: Longitude cannot be edited for added locations

Forecast is generally reliable. Adding a new observing location is broken, as longitude cannot be edited. This seems a simple fix that would add two stars (no pun intended) in my estimation.

Would be great with simple fixes

Potentially interesting app but made difficult to use due to not being able to manually enter/edit a location longitude that contains a - symbol plus it always defaults the location to Devon.

Sort these and the ratings will shoot up.

NO LONGER ACCURATE

Hi there folks.

I used to use Clear Outside as my default app for astronomical weather, but in recent months it seems to be completely inaccurate. For instance tonight (2Mar), CO is showing between 60 - 100 pc cloud cover while BBC Weather and the Met Office are both indicating a clear night for observing.
Can you look at this and perhaps re-jog your algorithms? Cheers.
