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

Recent reviews

I guess a free user user using your app to gain a reputation is worth 99 cents. No grandfathering in of initial users when you gain traction was considered. Yes, my deleting of the app over 99 cents is approximate consideration in kind. If I thought the app had value beyond the limited one or two hr. free subscription, I would have subscribed beyond the initial now eliminated free subscription feature long ago.
