Before I would need to go into multiple apps to plan weather, identify locations, determine composition based on shooting location, determine moon phases, etc. It's impressive how well thought out, well laid out, and easy to use this app is making my old workflow entirely obsolete and seemingly inefficient. It’s a no-brainer for anyone interested in astrophotography.
