Never Accurate. I had high hopes for this app, the interface works well, and the extra info like sun and moon rise is fine. The cloud cover forecasts and even current cloud cover are never correct. Sitting in the rain last night and having Astrospheric tell me there was 5% cloud cover at my location was the final fail. This was the third time in two months I planned an outing based, in part, on Astrospheric to a dark sky area to photograph the Milky Way, and the third time it's been wrong.

Not only does it display the relevant information in an easy to understand manner, it also goes the extra mile to add explanations to every relevant piece of information, a child could learn to use this app easily. Information is accurate and updates frequently. By far the best app for this out there.

this app is highly inaccurate with regards to cloud cover. I downloaded both this app and clear outside. Only once has this app been correct and clear outside has been incorrect. I gave two stars because the interface is aesthetically pleasing and easy to use.

Great app. Very accurate in telling me how bad this year has been for imaging! Seeing calculations seem a bit off sometimes. Very poor seeing nights can appear average in the app or vice-versa, but I think this is unavoidable as seeing seeing is believing...and so hard to quantify at a micro level.

Pretty confusing. What limited help seems to be available isn't even linked to what you press on. For example press on wind, and it tells you about temperature. Lots of jargon isn't explained. I am unable to assess whether the app actually does do a good job.

Very useful for astrophotography. My feelings about it are overwhelmingly positive, so the following should be read as an aside: It's odd that it frequently conflicts in its forecast with Clear Outside. I use both and I have tried to keep a tally of which one is right more often when they differ, and it seems to be 50-50. 🤷‍♂️
