But it’s often very inaccurate. For instance right now I have an 83% on the app and in the middle of a thunderstorm. ### 2/5 — Infrequent *2026-05-11, version 1.2.4* The apps forecasts would be incorrect for the area that I was in. ### 3/5 — It’s Nice App *2025-09-27, version 1.2.4* Needs a real time 3rd person view of our current solar system at the very least. ### 4/5 — 참 좋아요 *2025-08-24* 정말 좋고 날씨도 한눈에 볼 수 있어서 좋긴한데 돈을 내야하는게 너무 많고 star walk랑 별 보기 지수가 좀 달라요 ### 3/5 — My wife thinks I’m stupid for even looking at this app. *2025-08-18* I realise that weather forecasting is difficult, and hit and miss, but almost without exception, days forecast to have good enough weather to get my telescope out drop to 20% or lower on the morning of that day. It would be great if the information was more trustworthy. Also, why do we see beautiful star photos on cloudy days? Surely a gloomy sky would be more appropriate for days on which we’ll see nothing. ### 2/5 — Inaccurate reports *2025-05-27, version 1.2.4* What happened to the app? The ratings are now inaccurate in my location. It’s clear when it’s suppose to be cloudy. Cloudy when it’s suppose to be clear. ### 3/5 — Pas mal de choses sont payants *2025-02-04* Beaucoup de choses sont payants. ### 3/5 — Unfortunately outdated *2025-01-15, version 1.2.4* I got this being a freebie with my first iPhone, which at the time was fine for me. Now though with no updates for 5+ years, it’s been surpassed by other apps ### 4/5 — Sky Live *2024-12-13, version 1.2.4* This used to be my every day go to app for night time viewing and photography sessions but for some reason, the widget that I always used no longer works on IOS 18.2. Please update and add widget support for iOS 18 I’ll be your best friend if you do ! ### 2/5 — Limited and not accurate *2024-12-01, version 1.2.4* Needs to be cleaned up. User is unable to accurately pin location..,, it has me 85 miles wedt of where I actually am. And so sky conditions are also totally inaccurate. ### 4/5 — Sehr gut… *2024-11-03* Aber, warum gibt es seit 6 Jahren keine Updates mehr? 🤔 ### 3/5 — Braucht Update *2024-10-12* Im Grunde genommen sehr gut, aber braucht ein Update für iOS 18. Das Widget ist nicht mehr verfügbar. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nicht zuverlässig *2025-12-18* Leider stimmt die Prognose selten. Bei heftigstem Nebel liegt die Prognose bei über 70%. Bei wolkenlosem Himmel bei 17%.Zumindest für mich, somit nicht wirklich brauchbar. Ein Blick in den Himmel bringt mir mehr. Edit: Heute ist mal wieder ein fantastisches Beispiel. Laut APP mit 80% gut. Allerdings ist hier Nebel, dass man kaum 30 m sehen kann. ### 1/5 — Disappointing results in what sky I am actually seeing vs what the app reports *2025-11-13, version 1.2.4* App reporting excellent conditions… yet I go outside and see clouds all over… not the only app… not sure where the app gets their data but it is not too accurate ### 1/5 — Trust your eyes *2025-10-20, version 1.2.4* As others have said, this appused to be decent. Now it is junk. Star gazing is good at 87% and I can only see a star or 2 through the clouds? When uselessness takes up space, it is not worth keeping. ### 1/5 — Heavens Above Viewer *2025-10-19, version 1.2.4* Beware. This is NOT the excellent Heavens-Above program that tracks ISS and other satellites. I had to pay to download and find out. Don’t be fooled by the similar name. This program is simply reports viewing conditions for looking at the sky. It’s unclear why one would need a computer for that. ### 1/5 — No locations *2025-07-04, version 1.2.4* 👎🏼 why ### 1/5 — Dysfunctional app *2024-10-16, version 1.2.4* Like most astronomy/weather apps... Does not show a live map of cloud cover. A percentage chart is simply not good enough in the precise world of astrophotography. ### 1/5 — Comet *2024-10-13, version 1.2.4* Where’s the info. I would think the developers would consider that important. Dang I wonder how I can get a job like theirs. ### 1/5 — No longer loads current location *2024-10-03, version 1.2.4* I have been using this app for years to determine if nights are even worth chasing the northern lights. This app has been very accurate for many years and I don’t know if it’s with the recent iOS 18 update or what… but now my phone will no longer load my location. And yes, my location is turned on for this app. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no success. ### 1/5 — App not usable *2023-12-05, version 1.2.4* Just wanted an app that described what was in the sky above: planets, stars, and it does not do that. Instead there’s all this “stuff” with dots mixed in. ### 1/5 — No longer Accurate *2023-11-10, version 1.2.4* Not sure what changed with the latest version of IOS but this app is no longer accurate. When cross-referenced with other similar apps or sites, info is way off. Further, if you uninstall and reinstall this app you’ll get different data for the same day. Prior to iOS 17.1.1 this worked very well. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One happy person *2026-04-27, version 1.2.4* Made up I found very helpful 👍🙂 ### 5/5 — Sehr gut strukturiert *2026-01-23* Die App bietet mir alles was ich wissen muss bzgl. des Wetters. ### 5/5 — One happy person *2026-01-13, version 1.2.4* Just joined today it’s great ### 5/5 — Simple and great *2025-11-27, version 1.2.4* A shame it’s not updated anymore. Would be nice to have it show Bortle score ### 5/5 — Me in something else *2025-08-25, version 1.2.4* Thank you for The thing you made I love you very much because I like you made that is why I like it also I love this app I want to kiss it that’s why I give it a five star rating the five star rating was awesome I was like loving it so much I want to hug and kiss it and I love it so so much that’s why it’s called me and something else five star review I don’t know why give it a five star rating because I don’t know which one I love and I don’t love I’m in my tablet but I don’t know what iOS I have iOS iOS iOS my favorite thing in the world in the whole whole tell world I like it so much because it wiped me a reveal all the time ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-03-11, version 1.2.4* Really good info ### 5/5 — Planets *2025-02-24, version 1.2.4* Brilliant ### 5/5 — great learning *2025-02-07, version 1.2.4* more about space ### 5/5 — Ll *2024-11-04, version 1.2.4* I’m opposed ### 5/5 — Simple et efficace *2024-10-14* Je l’utilise au cotidien depuis des années ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
