Really good!

I feel like it could have more features but other wise it helps a lot for stargazing!

API Error

The app used to work, but now no map shows up, and it says there is an API error “Aurora Info Server Error” even after I updated the app.

Good app, old data

Data is from 2016/2017, it would be huge if they updated that like some other apps/sites. Otherwise it’s a nice map that’s clear and easy to use.

3.5 stars; lacks a scale

Nice and responsive from a map perspective, but there’s no legend for the colors to link them even notionally to Bortle class. So, it works fine for seeing where you need to drive for dark skies (vs towns and cities) but gives no guidance for differentiating between two locations of similar darkness.

Light Pollution Display

Doesn’t display light pollution on map regardless of zoom level when using VPN. Once turned off the light pollution shows up. Just something to be aware of.

What happened?

I updated the app and now I can’t click to see what the Bortle rating is for a location anymore? Are there new directions on how to do this??

Let Down

Maps don’t even have a legend. They try to get you to upgrade to premium at every chance.

Cloud Coverage

What’s the deal with the cloud coverage feature? The pop-up said to try in 50 minutes; then I checked again and it said to check in five minutes, when I checked 10 minutes later it said to check again in 55 minutes!

Hi There, Thank you for the review. The live cloud coverage fetch works once per hour. If you stay in the app then the cloud coverage loads every time. But if you leave the app then the next live cloud coverage fetch works after an hour from the previous fetch. We are showing the time left for the next live coverage fetch. Thanks, Support Team

Really nice

Really useful map that uses pretty much the latest data. It also somehow works with barely any signal so thats a plus

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Die App funktioniert auf einigen Geräten, stürzt aber auf anderen ab. Wir vermuten, dass Google Maps das Problem verursacht. Die Ursache ist uns derzeit unbekannt. Wir haben versucht, die Probleme zu beheben. Laden Sie bitte Version 5.4.1 herunter. Sie wird in ein bis zwei Tagen verfügbar sein. Bitte testen Sie diese Version und teilen Sie uns Ihr Feedback erneut mit. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten. (mit Google-Übersetzung)
