Un grand merci. ### 5/5 — Just great *2021-02-21* Compact size ,easy to use ,does what it says ,help me to find dark sky easy, and free, no fancy useless function which is a plus , 5 stars all the way ### 5/5 — Super appli vraiment pratique ! *2021-01-12* C'est exactement ce que je recherchais. Possibilité de voir la pollution lumineuse avec recherche de localisation (meilleure fonctionnalité pour moi), les phases de Lune, les nuages et la météo à l'endroit de votre choix (sur la carte) et aussi les meilleurs endroits autour de vous... Il y a tout pour partir à l'observation du ciel. Manque juste le français pour être parfaite ! ### 3/5 — Application utile *2021-01-06* Suite MAJ de Janvier : Il est dommage de ne plus pouvoir créer des événements autour des points d’intérêt ou même ailleurs comme le permettait l’ancienne version (c’est vrai, en période de COVID, la fonctionnalité ne servait pas tellement) et qui me semblait terriblement sympa. Pour le reste l’application n’a que peu changer. Pas que l’application soit inutile maintenant mais elle a perdu son côté « événementiel et convivial ». Il y avait un côté rencontre entre ASTRAM. Je n’ai malheureusement pas eu l’occasion de l’utiliser à cause du COVID. FIN MAJ Une excellente application pour organiser ou rejoindre des amateurs d’astronomie. Facile d’utilisation et qui va à l’essentiel. Un seul petit bémol, l’apparence qui peut rebuter, il y eu pour ma part un petit effort pour passer outre. Merci pour votre application. **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup Dark_Aklain pour votre appréciation. Je note votre remarque sur l'apparence comme axe d'amélioration dans la feuille de route de Meet Star Gazers. J'ai complètement reconstruit Meet Star Gazers autour d'un nouveau concept. Meet Star Gazers consolide désormais les meilleurs lieux d'observation du ciel nocturne. Il m'était difficile en tant que seul porteur de ce projet de construire une communauté suffisamment importante pour réussir l'ancien concept d'une application pour organiser de sorties. J'espère de vous compter parmi les utilisateurs du nouveau concept. Je garde dans l'esprit votre suggestion d'amélioration de l'apparence. Merci pour votre soutien et je vous souhaite une belle année 2021. ### 5/5 — indispensable ! *2020-05-22* Une vraie bonne idée que cette appli. L’astronomie est un loisir qui se pratique mieux à plusieurs, en communauté ... et cette appli est faite pour rassembler autour de sorties astro avec toutes les infos qui vont bien pour s’organiser ! **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre encouragement APO555555. J'ai hâte d'améliorer Meet Star Gazers afin de la rendre encore plus pertinente. Merci encore une fois. ### 5/5 — Best application for astronomers ! *2020-05-10* Great functionalities to facilitate all aspects of star gazing. Made by someone who knows what star gazing is. **Developer response:** Thank you for your appreciation. Looking forward to making the app even better. ### 5/5 — Tout en un *2020-05-10* Plus besoin d’avoir plusieurs applications pour la météo et la qualité du ciel. Vivement que des groupes s’organisent. Du beau travail sur cette application ! **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre appréciation. Hâte de la développer d'avantage. ### 5/5 — L’appli pour ceux qui veulent sortir voir les étoiles *2020-05-10* Ça faisait longtemps que les astronomes amateurs attendait une plateforme ouverte à tous pour gérer leurs sorties 🤩 **Developer response:** Merci infiniment pour votre encouragement 🙏🏻 ## Frequently asked questions about Meet Star Gazers ### What is Meet Star Gazers?
