This is a pretty good app that gives you the big picture for planning astronomical viewing, however I do not like one aspect of it. The app opens with a location that is automatically selected near your current location, but it is off enough that you need to change it to your location by using a map or the forecasts might not be accurate. It does not remember your location when you start the app again and you must again manually select the correct location from a map. It then will tell you that you can save the location, but only if you provide them with your email address which is their way of compelling one to do that and enable the “favorites” to be available. I think that we should not have to provide our email address to set the home location and sort of sounds like blackmail to me.

It’s really valuable to know what the clouds are likely to do for planning star gazing or imaging. Several apps provide info on this but astropheric has far and away the best user interface. You can easily figure out exactly what the conditions should be on simple screen. Moon light, various levels of clouds, seeing, transparency, sunrise/sunset. Sometimes it misses a forecast but in general it’s a great planning tool

I really like the usefulness of this app. I don’t waste time putting up equipment and can plan my astrophotography sessions with a good deal of confidence. My only complaint is I have a pro subscription but continue to see ads. What’s up with that? Would have given 5 stars otherwise.
