    This app is the most accurate I’ve used yet. Worth every penny.

    I’ve had this app for some time now. And on my iPhone iOS 18.7.2 it stopped working a few weeks back. The main page keeps reloading, no matter where I’m at in the app. It’s essentially useless now. And I can’t find any way to contact the developer for support.. I will really miss this app, and will be hard pressed to find a replacement. But I don’t seem to have any other option as this point.
  • Temperatures wildly & consistantly inacurate

    I’ve used Astrospheric for years and love nearly everything about it — it’s an incredible tool for planning astrophotography. However, the temperature data for Arizona is consistently 8–12°F too low, making dew and temperature planning unreliable. Other apps are accurate within 1°F. Please fix or improve the temperature source — this app would be perfect, and I’d subscribe instantly if it were accurate.
  • An amazing app for amateur astronomers

    I’ve found no better way to get cloud forecasts than this app, or the much clunker to use website cleardarksky. This is so much more convenient, and the premium subscription, giving you more weather models to look at, is even better. Worth it if you have the money to spare.
  • The Best!

  • Isn’t accurate unless you buy a subscription

    Forecasts have a high degree of inaccuracy on the free plan. I’ve had nights where it said conditions were bad and it was going to be cloudy when they ended up being perfect, and vice versa. Cloud forecast has been wrong several times. The app tells you to buy a subscription to have access to accurate forecasts.
  • Wow, what an amazing app

    By Yuckful yucks
    This app has introduced me to so many useful tools. It’s my go-to app everyday to see what things will look like while I cross my fingers for ideal conditions for astrophotography. And the non-paid version isn’t intensely annoying with ads or anything, almost like the app makers care how it feels to use the app! What an idea!

    iPhone with lockdown mode seems to not be supported. App fails to get past location permissions page.
