SkyCandy is rated at almost 4.5 stars which actually surprises me after using it for some weeks.
I’ve had SkyCandy for almost a month, and I understand how completely unpredictable the weather is, however, in my area, there has been numerous beautiful sunsets/sunrises and each time SkyCandy has said there’s only a 20ish percent chance of a decent sunset/sunrise. The highest score I’ve recorded was 28%.
It seems as though it is completely guessing. For example, there was some residual rain storms from one of the hurricanes in my area recently, the rain ended a few hours before sunset. These conditions can often be a decent indicator of a colorful sunset, so I checked SkyCandy and it said there was a 20% chance. Luckily I didn’t trust that, as the sky was incredible that night and I was able to capture some great photos.
That being said, SkyCandy is well put together and easy to use. There are a couple other features that would be helpful, so for example if you need to know exactly what time the sun will be in a particular part of the sky, SkyCandy will tell you and that part is accurate.
I really wanted to like SkyCandy , and perhaps it works better in other areas, however I have found it completely unreliable as far as choosing whether to go shoot photos or not.
