User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app for useful stargazing forecasts, planning nights, and overall accuracy, plus astronomy data. However, recurring complaints focus on heavy paywalls and removal of free features, making current conditions hard to access. Users also report location-based data issues and unreliable forecasts, plus performance problems and perceived lack of ongoing maintenance. Overall, it used to be a strong planning tool, but subscription model and reliability concerns drive many to stop using it.
Pros
  • Forecast tells you when it’s good to stargaze
  • Helps plan viewing nights in advance
  • Generally accurate predictions for planning
  • Provides astronomy-related information (planets, galaxies, etc.)
  • Clean, easy-to-use interface
Cons
  • Subscription-based access to current conditions and near-term forecasts
  • Free option removed; many features behind a paywall
  • Current location data not available or unreliable (shows far in the future)
  • Forecast and cloud-cover data can be inaccurate
  • Performance issues: buggy, slow to load, and notes of reduced updates or maintenance
