Best app I have

This app has always worked great

Great Application

Informative application, keeps me apprised of upcoming meteor showers. Even allows for reminders to be added directly to your phone or device so you can remember to get outside and observe. Great technical support, answers to questions almost immediately! Highly recommended meteor shower app.!!

Beautiful interface

Easy to use, representation of the year’s meteor are listed in nice graphs. Tapping a shower listing gives all the information you need. None of the screen is wasted and yet very well organized. While in one of the meteor listings you can tap Alert to add to your default calendar. A must-have app.

Great meteor guide

Great for planning when to look up into the sky for watching meteors. Like that it tells you the outlook for the shower given the current moon phase. Also like that you can set a reminder directly in the app. Very handy that it works in offline mode so if you are in a remote area to view the shower you can still get info about the shower. Needs the ability to add notes within the app so that if you viewed a shower you can jot down info like: where you were and how many you saw. Then give a visual clue in the list to help you find those quickly or filter for those that have notes.
