Scope Nights Astronomy Weather App Reviews

70 add

Almost perfect!

I really love this app. Although I dont use it for scoping, but for Astrophotography, it perfectly meets my needs

Upgrades are a rip off

Seems like a cool app but the upgrades dont give you what you pay for.Lots of dark sky sites and observatories not listed. Also unable to remove sites that were added.Dont get the dark sky upgrade

Great basic app. If only it had Canadian Astronomy weather reports...

Solid app. Great for the vast majority (US-UK). Hoping the developer gets around to us Canucks sometime. And mebbe explains why the Dark Sky option costs 6.99? Ouch...

Really fantastic astro app!

Very impressed with the UI. It is my goto app for astro weather. Well worth the purchase. Will be recommending to others.

Dont bother with this app

When you buy this app, you do not get any of the advertised features that come with this app, such as the dark sky map, without paying a bunch of money in upgrades. In addition, you can only get the weather at one time from 2 locations without upgrades: Your present location and 1 other. Even the default weather app can beat that. Although their ratings of "good", "poor", and "fair" can be helpful, most people are capable of judging the weather forecasts meaning for astronomy themselves. In addition, it often gives incorrect forecasts that differ significantly from the National Weather Service and other apps predictions. Dont waste your money on this app. Googling the Clear Dark Sky Chart for your location is much more effective, detailed, and is also free.

Too many in-app purchases

Great idea, but to get all the features itll cost you! Wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing. I guess they figure amateur astronomers have money to burn. They nickel and dime you to death. Every time you click on a feature it asks for money. I mean really, should I have to pay for an upgrade to store more an two locations? That is crazy! You at least three purchases to make to get all the features they describe. By the time youre done the app ends up costing many times the initial purchase price. I wish in app purchases would go the way of the dinosaur.

Great useful app

Love to stargaze and astrophotography. This app is very useful and accurately predicts good to ideal conditions. Check it several times per week.

Great app and update

I love this app! I have used it for a long while now and it has been accurate in planning my nights. Great job!

Nice app

A very good app to help the budding astronomer determine the evenings conditions. Worth the admission fee.

Astronomy weather Wunderapp!

My time on scope has increased 3 fold since getting this app. It has been very accurate and is a pleasure to use. The update is gorgeous and it works flawlessly with the new OS. This is an amazing App.

My new Clear Sky bible

So happy to find this app since Clear Sky Clock disappeared for lack of iOS 6+ compatibility. Not always 100% but when is the weather report ever 100%? Very useful when combined with other weather data. (Look out the window, will ya?)

Must have for Stargazers

This is a really useful App for anyone hoping for clear skies to plan a stargazing night. Uses weather forecasts to determine conditions which is great for planning upcoming trips to your favourite skygazing place. Had some troubles with v1.5 but works great for international users with the update to 1.6.

Very good

I like this App. if its supports german language the 5th will follow Multilanguage please!

For Hobby astronomers

If you have a telescope and you would like to know, when you are going to be able to use it. Then you are looking for this one.

Love this app!!

Mostly accurate which is better than I can say about the weather forecast. Also has tonnes of info for astronomical viewing. Cant wait to see some Canadian specific info. Will happily buy the expansion for that! Always makes my day when it tells me Ill be seeing clear skys tonight.

WAS great

Forecast no longer works for Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Useless

When you buy an app, you think that the important features are included. But not this one. You buy the app, then its useless unless you buy each feature separately.

Very helpful

This app is very helpful, especially where I live and poor astronomy skies are the norm versus the exception. Nothings guaranteed with forecasts but I do find this app helpful in planning my astro nights. Hopefully they keep updating it.

Nickle and dime ya

The app is OK, but when you want more that just the single screen of info you need to upgrade costing you almost 10 bucks by the time you get a real full piece of software.

Great app

Good app. Can save time on waiting under clouds.
