### 1/5 — Absolut nutzlos!

*2025-12-14*

Schwer enttäuscht , ist zwar nicht teuer, aber die paar Euros nicht wert. Aktualisiert entweder gar nicht, oder sagt Sturm bei völliger Windstille vorher…

### 1/5 — Can’t search any location

*2023-09-05*

Location searching tool doesn’t work at all. What’s the point of having an app that can’t tell you information a specific location that you wanna visit 🤷🏻‍♂️

**Developer response:** The bug has been fixed and the place search is fully functional again.
Thank you for informing me about the bug.

### 5/5 — Alles im Blick

*2020-01-25*

Ich habe lange nach so einer App gesucht, die die benötigten Informationen so aufarbeitet und übersichtlich darstellt. Bisher nutzte ich dafür mehrere Wetter-Apps, um mir die Daten selber zusammen zu stellen. Nun habe ich alles übersichtlich in einer App und das sogar als Widget, was ich sehr begrüße, da nach einem Update einer anderen App, dass Widget fehlt und so nicht mehr zu gebrauchen ist. 
Werde nun mal beobachten, wie genau die Daten sind und die Bewertung entsprechend anpassen.
Ich würde mir noch wünschen, das es die App auch in Deutsch geben würde.

Also ich bin gespannt. In freudiger Erwartung , freundliche Grüße an den Entwickler.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für eine so schöne Bewertung.
Die Übersetzung des Antrags ins Deutsche ist schwierig, da der Antrag eine große Anzahl von Texten enthält. Für eine gute Übersetzung brauche ich einen guten Übersetzer. Es muss ein Muttersprachler sein, der sich für Fotografie interessiert. Möchten Sie es tun? Schicken Sie mir eine E-Mail an support@blackbird.one.

### 5/5 — Für Fotografen ein Must have

*2019-12-03*

Ich bin professioneller Fotograf und fotografiere viel Outdoor und Indoor mit Tageslicht. Die App macht eine kurzfristige optimale Planung viel leichter und gehört auf das Handy jedes Fotografen egal ob Beruflich oder Hobbyfotograf.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für eine so schöne Bewertung.

### 5/5 — First night awesome

*2019-10-26*

This will be handy. It prompted me that there was good conditions for a great sunset and sure enough there was lovely light and a great sunset.

**Developer response:** I am happy to be of service.
