This update extends ScoutKit past golden hour and into the dark. New in 1.2.0: • Night Sky — A new section built for stargazing and astrophotography. Aurora forecasting, Milky Way shoot windows, atmospheric transparency scoring, and real-time cloud coverage, so you know when conditions actually align. • Cloud Coverage — Regional cloud map visualization using forecast data. See layers by altitude and watch coverage evolve hour by hour over a region. • Day Forecast — Now shows 5 days by default, with a tap to expand to 10. The most relevant information stays front and center. • Watchlist — Refreshed layout with improved section organization and cleaner row styling. • Fixes & improvements — Temperature display corrections for 3-digit values, improved condition text layout, network connectivity diagnostics, and performance improvements throughout the app.

The perfect app for my job!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review! We love hearing the unique ways our app is used.

Finally!

As a nature photographer, Scout Kit is the app I have long wished for. It’s a weather app designed by an accomplished photographer/software engineer for photographers.

As a result, the information I need is featured, clear and easily accessible, not missing or hidden. Whether it’s the times of the golden and blue hours or wind direction, tides and precipitation, this will be the weather app you’ll turn to first in the field every time for the information you need to make better pictures.

No more app juggling

I’ve bounced between so many apps trying to piece together the info I need, and this one pulls all my favorite features into one place. The standout for me is the ability to organize locations into collections. It makes planning shoots and trips so much easier, especially when I’m tracking multiple spots for light, weather, and timing. Everything just feels more intentional and streamlined. It’s clear this was designed by someone who understands how photographers think. Super intuitive, incredibly useful, and now a permanent part of my workflow.
