User Reviews

Fotocast is praised for photographer-focused weather and planning features and real-time forecasts, but is hampered by stability and GPS issues, apparent lack of ongoing updates, and a costly subscription model that gates key features.
Pros
  • Photography-focused planning tools, including sun/moon directions, Golden Hour/Blue Hour timing, and aurora forecasts.
  • Real-time, location-aware forecasts that help photographers plan shoots.
  • All-in-one app that can replace several other tools for photographers.
  • Useful for both amateur and professional photographers.
Cons
  • Location/GPS fails to update to current position; auto GPS not functioning.
  • Frequent crashes and stability issues (crashes on launch or during use).
  • App appears abandoned or not updated for an extended period, with little ongoing support.
  • Subscription model gating features (e.g., radar) and perceived overpricing, including reports of being locked out after paying.

Downloaded this app but it never updated to my location. Restarted my phone but it still doesn’t work.

Sadly, it’s just an abandoned app. I’m hunting for a replacement.

This developer needs to pull their apps down and stop wasting user’s time and money!!
