The Best Astro Planning App!

I use a lot of photography apps, and for astrophotography this one has all the information in an easy to understand centralized place- no need to hop around other astro apps anymore!

UI and functionality

Enjoying the simple user interface within the application and continue to keep finding new functionality. My experience this far too is that location services are highly accurate.

Works great

I have used multiple apps to find the Milky Way, or other celestial stuff, to find where a dark sky is as well as the cloud cover or haze in an area. What makes this app fantastic is that all those things are packed into one app. On top of it, there is an AR portion that allows you to setup your shot. I have found this app to work great and the improvements Jack has made are welcome and great.
