Find a Night & Use it Right... Use your telescope or binoculars wisely and find the clearest nights first. A really useful app for planning observing sessions or star parties Most weather apps don`t focus on ...
Great app for anyone who is a stargazer                     Great App Brucer2again
Gives a quick overview of astronomically significant conditions for multiple locations                 Neat handy app destrehandave
I had issues with an earlier version but this is great now Plus it s free and fully functional                     Great MoonSmiles
Used this app now for two years and is very accurate Once it said poor and the sky was clear so I set up my scope and by the time of sunset I was completely clouded in When it says good it s clear and when it says poor it s cloudy Can t ask better than that I highly recommend it                     Scope nights app Blamy
This version has greatly improved the interface on my go to planning app for stargazing nights Well done Martin Thank you                     Nice improvements on a great app ScenicVoyager
I think I have downloaded all the astronomy weather apps and in my opinion this is the best Download without fear                     The best astronomy weather app pcfree
The inclusion of moon rise set information is incredibly useful Thank you                     Nice IOS 11 update Phxhoward
Well done app with everything I need Dark sky map was a much needed improvement                     Big improvement Smoke_33
Current version works well and thanks to the developer for contacting me with an improved version to try Good app buy this one                     Had problems with an older version but the current version is fine scruffy09
I inadvertently re clicked a previous review about this issue Please delete it if you can Glad to have this app working again I ve been using it for years and it is still the best I have found for planning my observing                     IOS 11 broke it but developer fixed it allen456
The developer has fixed the issue I was experiencing It now works perfectly                 Great developer response StephenKSU
Scope Nights is in class by itself With the 2 5 update it surpasses even itself in ease of use                     Second to none sgeoj
This piece of software is perfect for planning your observing whether you re an amateur of even a professional Astronomer It does the job with no excess baggage Brilliant                 A little gem for all astronomers Astronomy devotee
I have had this app for a few years and seen it improve gradually to the point that I find myself using it regularly along with myCSC to plan my observing sessions I really like how easy it is to get observing forecasts for different locations with important details and a much longer forecast than one gets with myCSC                 Great app Tomrobbe
The most accurate tool I rely on to plan my evening astronomy activities                     Graphically brilliant Mike Connly
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                     My new Clear Sky bible brucie-b
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                     Astronomy weather Wunderapp Jiffycoil
A very good app to help the budding astronomer determine the evening s conditions Worth the admission fee                     Nice app Puterfan
I love this app I have used it for a long while now and it has been accurate in planning my nights Great job                     Great app and update Drhappytooth
Love to stargaze and astrophotography This app is very useful and accurately predicts good to ideal conditions Check it several times per week                     Great useful app Rjh06
Great idea but to get all the features it ll 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 you re done the app ends up costing many times the initial purchase price I wish in app purchases would go the way of the dinosaur     Too many in app purchases bigpappadanks
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 forecast s meaning for astronomy themselves In addition it often gives incorrect forecasts that differ significantly from the National Weather Service and other apps predictions Don t waste your money on this app Googling the Clear Dark Sky Chart for your location is much more effective detailed and is also free     Don t bother with this app Anonymous Costumer
Further update now doesn t seem to be accurate for my region Plus once again the developer has increased the costs for upgrades including the functionality that was present in the original version Why should I pay again for my original app functionality Horrible stay away and save yourself money and frustrations     Stopped working on iPad 2 Canon Fan
Agreeing with the other negative reviews This app not only charges just to download but the functionality requires several additional in app purchases to get what s matched in the description The developer does a poor job of communicating this in the app description     Bait and switch disgruntled123
Works well most of the time when it can find my location However I bought the 2 99 US weather enhancement and although it says applied I can t open the enhancement Don t waist your money on upgrades                     ScopeNightts enhancement Ridgesoar
The weather data and predictions displayed have been about 80 accurate for me and it seems to be quite current I ve been using it for over a year and have had no issues I m not sure what the bad reviews are talking about A suggestion would be to add the ability to make notes on each day for planning purposes                     Excellent int3grate
Should have read the reviews before purchasing Every one was right about it being horrible Just wasted 3 Don t bother buying Doesn t even work     Ugh Sam4nthax0
This is possibly the worst app that I have ever purchased The locations listed aren t correct for latitude and longitude They are also place on the map incorrectly The help is non existant even though there is a help button The app is useless in it s basic version Once the in app upgrades are purchased there is some usefulness however you need to buy both the U S upgrade the Locations upgrade and the Astronomer Weather Settings Upgrade The last one is an insult as the app is supposed to be an Astronomy upgrade Totla cost of the thre upgrades is 9 97 above the basic purchase price of 99 Again don t buy this app     Don t buy this app pgt213
It s a paid app that requires paid upgrades to unlock the actual functionality you are looking for If you re going to provide a basic app that requires paid upgrades make the basic app free up front so we don t feel like dummies         Bait and switch HectorRamos
Charges you 3 99 to use the part that shows you the light pollution map That was the only reason I bought it If I wanted an app that tells me it s going to be cloudy I could look at the weather app for free     Useless mattdonino
It has the potential to be a great app At first it didn t have my city or anything even close Then it did and it was right about 70 of the time as far as forecasts the day of Right about 40 of the time 2 or more days out Now the settings doesn t work and there are these neat upgraded features that are pretty expensive add ons Fairy disappointed I think I ll just go with a weather app             Went from bad to decent to bad again Firemedic83
I dont know what weather service provider is being used by this app but it is almost always incorrect I even upgraded to all the bells and whistles in the app Every weather service I can find is showing clear skies for tonight at The Plains VA yet ScopeNights is showing mostly cloudy and poor conditions There isnt a cloud in the sky and likely wont be tonight Same thing last night and conditions were actually excellent although ScopeNights showed the opposite The app is useless if the underlying data is bad I am starting to see a trend with bad forecasts I almost did not attend the Cherry Springs Star Party this year based on ScopeNights Thank god I did my own research and the other weather services showed good conditions ScopeNights showed poor to fair even a couple of hours before dark each day and the other weather services all showed clear skies and good conditions It turned out to be some the best weather ever seen at CSSP     Bad Data unreliable
Its a good for what it does ESP dealing with weather How can you get any better But it would be great if it had an area for when the moon raises and sets with the phase of the moon              Good App But
I love this app The forecasts are accurate and it notifies me during the day if there is a possible clear sky for the night And till now it has been spot on I heavily use this app for planning my astronomy and astrophotography sessions and absolutely love it The upgrades are totally worth it too A Must buy IMO                 Best Astronomy app
Doesnt work at all Bad appdont waist your time     Not working
Forecasts have been right occasionally but recently all I get is that forecasts are unavailable Not worth space on my iPad     Was fairly good now not so much
Generally accurate easy to use Didnt like having to purchase features 1st version included at much lower pricebut still a very useful app              Good App
Great concept poor execution It often actually more often than not fails to load a forecast It throws up an error message stating no internet connection found It must be a catch all error pop up because my devices certainly have internet connectivity at the time the message appears I know because when it fails I have to use Safari to look up the forecast on line Having said the 25 of time that it does work its forecast is sketchy at best        Frequently Worthless
Dont bother Never could connect to get a forecast It kept telling me to check my wifi connection but wifi works just fine for every other app Didnt last for five minutes before being deleted     Couldnt get it to work
Downloaded this for a buck However need to purchase in app Weather Pack and US Astronomy weather for full functionality Not paying another 6 Deleted     In app purchase rip off
No matter what location I try whether my own or any of their suggested spots I get a message saying Global Forecast Unavailable For Do I have to pay 299 for the United States Astronomy Weather inapp purchase before it will do anything Id like to try this app but as is its no good        Global Forecast Unavailable
Will give you no data now There is no support they just take the money and run     Do NOT Bother
Nice application Works well           Works well
It has the potential to be a great app At first it didnt have my city or anything even close Then it did and it was right about 70 of the time as far as forecasts the day of Right about 40 of the time 2 or more days out Now the settings doesnt work and there are these neat upgraded features that are pretty expensive add ons Fairy disappointed I think Ill just go with a weather app           Went from bad to decent to bad again
I like the concept of this app but 1 the app does not reflect actual weather forecasts very well I find the NWS forecasts are more accurate 2 the app loses my location quite frequently and then says no forecasts are available Overall it is a nice concept but is lacking in execution With some fixes it could be a nice usable app        Inaccurate and unreliable
I have found this app to be just what I need to anticipate weather breakthroughs here in the rainy Pacific Northwest There is a bit of a learning curve to figure out the meaning of the symbology but once figured out the app displays great at a glance usability Once I had learned my way around I downloaded all the inapp purchases I couldnt be more pleased By mid afternoon the app had alerted me to clearing skies in three of my favored location settings What a treat Kudos to the developer                 Top rate astronomy weather app
At first I really liked this app however its accuracy is only approximate Many times it shows stormy nights that are rarely ever correct I am not impressed and find it virtually unusable as far as pinpoint accuracy is concerned Just updated app It shows lows for my city that are not even close to being accurate This in an improved update Just bought a new iPhone 6 and app will not work anymore Like other reviewer it keeps telling me to check WiFi connection I even checked to see if there was an update to fix bugs but to no avail        Looks Great but Not Accurate
The upgrade on my iPad had locked me into the gps location only but the iPhone went well so Ill retract my low rating A reinstall on the iPad resolved the problem the app in now working as intended Since Ive already memorized the zip codes of observing locations I wont be paying for the locations update              Be careful of install issues
I paid for this app a few months ago Now the developer removed features and say if you want the features you have to MORE money     I feel cheated
Although it usually works very well I find the fact that you cannot add more than two observing sites irritating You can add as many sites as you want free on the weather app that comes with the iPod but you have to shell out 5 bucks for Scope Nights In addition many of the features such as the dark sky map are only available with these costly add ons Also you cannot easily or perhaps at all delete observing locations and add another in its place You can only adjust basic settings like the time period you are forecasting for if you pay 4 I wouldnt recommend scope nights unless you dont mind wasting money for a paltry bit of added convenience           Good but add ons costly
Seldom was ever correct with its forecasts More of a gimmick than anything Too bad it really has a polished look It may have had potential in its early development but then it turned into a money pit as the developer charged for simple features that shouldve been standard from the beginning Now it doesnt even workperiod This app should be removed from the store the developer has clearly given up on the upkeep of this app Dont waste your money people     Not reliable when it worked now it doesnt work at all
The cost of all the in app purchases that make it useful is to much I can accomplish the same thing with a link to my local Clear Sky Chart           To costly
Errors in weather data Features removed and locked in in app purchases Should reduce the cost of in app purchases or include in cost of app     In app purchases in new version Lame
UPDATE the new version now works on my iPad 2 it didnt before but once again the developer has increased the costs for upgrades including the functionality that was present in the original version The developer has shown a persistent behavior of removing functionality that was purchased in the preceding version Why should I pay again for my original app functionality Horrible stay away and save yourself money and frustrations     Stopped working on iPad 2
Im disappointed that the developer removed some features and expects you to pay extra to get them back And my weather forecast insisted it was raining here on a clear desert night Deleted     A bit of a ripoff
How is it legal for an app to make you pay for features then take away the features in a later update     What a joke
I really like using this app to plan observing sessions for the next few days                 Great App for planning observing time
Всегда точный почасовый прогноз                 Отличная программа для астропогоды
Have installed all of the applicable add ons and still find the product frustrating Mainly due to the lack of help or documentation My inability to find a way of setting up a personal site location was really a surprise The web site seems to be only for selling products The main support system seems to be tied to blogs and the social media sites When I tried to find info on my present location I received a clear skies chart not the scope nights window This was on the scope nights web site The need for add ons to get the program to work was a real surprise The add ons needed to use the App will be at least 4 more        Not Very good
Its been down over a month now with no update to its problem with the weather service Martin uses At least we could get a weekly update on status since some of us did pay Then again I guess we cant complain over a couple of bucks since we can get the same info for free elsewhere Was a handy convenience but I see little reason to have it adding to memory so Im deleting it now     App what app
Error messages about missing global forecasts and a frequent inability to determine my location when I at my own house are annoying           Clunky
When I bought this app it worked now it wont return any weather forecasts Seems like a tease and sell app to me I deleted it     unuseable all it wants is to sell you a weather upgrade
When I installed app it indicated good conditions and it was raining Rarely accurate Dont recommend     Total waste
The version 2 changes killed an elegant app Sluggish and limited unless more inapp money is spent        Was Good Now Bloated Shakedown
This app is beautiful and made very well Dont blame it for being inaccurate because weather patterns are becoming harder and harder to predict It does very well with the information it is given                 Perfect
Good idea for an app just not always accurate Not sure if the developer has control over the forecast or if they are dependent on another service Hasnt been updated for larger iPhones yet Will up to 5 stars if still supported           Sort of accurate
This was a fairly helpful app For a while Then it stopped working It either just crashes or displays an error message saying there is no weather data for my area Los Angeles Ive tied to reinstall be patient even submitted a bug report But no fix has come nearly 5 months later Clearly the author is too busy with something else to fix this Delete     Hasnt worked since August 2014
I liked it and it was very helpful when it worked It no longer gives weather for any location which I have a feeling is an ios8 thing but for now I have to give it a 2 since Im hoping its compatibility        Good when it worked
I paid the price to get the new features but even though you can add site locations they are not selectable Deleted App and reinstalled several times but it still does not work     Not working with iPhone 6 and iOS 8 and latest update
This Is one of the most helpful astronomy programs that has been made for the astronomer I know what the weather will be at the observatory and any of my other sites I know what to wear my coat or give up and go home for the night It takes the guesswork out of planing a observing run                 Big help
I find this app to be as reliable as any other news weather service I have compared it the local weather news and find it to be similar to what they predict The good thing with this app is I can see at a glance what the observing possibilities will be without all the media news hype and bull No app or weather service can predict quick changes in the weather or cloud cover This app does as well as any other source I would recommend it              Good App
Update has a lot of features removed Exorbitant inapppurchases appeared with ZERO description what they actually do Settings are messed up and dont even work now AVOID like the plague Update was obviously just slung out with a bunch of puffery about Sky and Scope to make some fast cash but forgetting about the customer reviewcomments This kind of unethical developer is what gives the App Store a bad name Very Lousy Get the Dark Sky app While it does not indicate weather it is great for seeing ambient light and light pollution for observations in exact locations Use with a weather app and save tons of Has become WAY TOO MERCENARY DELETED     Had Gone Downhill And Become Insanely Mercenary
Forecast is only as accurate as the weather data so I cant knock the app for that I like that all of the astronomy related data is in one nice to use interface and the list of dark sky parks is cool              Good app
Works ok till you try to get info that should already be included Then the pan hand rears its ugly presence Dude just bundle it all from the getgo I would have paid a little more up front but not now        Call it nickel and dime
This app is a must have tool for any amateur astronomer Very well constructed and the localized weather upgrade is very accurate wherever I am                 Beautiful Clean Accurate
This is ok for amateur astronomers I was looking for additional data such as visibility clarity light pollution etc apparently this app does not offer this        Ok Could be better
So I use this app all the time I love it quick and easy and super fun to tweak Is it accurate 100 of the time no but what weather forecast is 100 Now here is my but I would love to be able to SAVE favorite locations I have a few locations that are hour and a half apart in opposite directions I have to go in type in the city and state and zip Just seems like a favorites would be a good option BUT there no place to request app enhancements Also if it is on the site there is no easy way to contact the developers Again I am looking at it in a mobile device STILL LOVE THE APP good job                 LOVE IT but
I just upgraded to IOS 90 and now when I try to use the app the screen goes black for a second then goes back to the regular screen showing my apps        Stopped working
On the one hand I understand that users are miffed about the removal of features in this latest version and the inapp purchases needed to replace them Seems like Apple out to allow a way for developers to charge for upgrades instead of having to work around this limitation But I have been using this app for about a year and based on how useful it has been the inapp purchase price was well worth the cost There really is nothing else like it on the market I use myCSC and Sky Harbinger for detailed short range astronomical forecasts that include seeing and transparency But for a long range forecast that combines all the basic astroweather parameters into a quickglance format Scope Nights does the job While Id like to know what the seeing and transparency will be fact is I can live with a wide range of those values and still observe Scope Nights lets me plan ahead for nights when I can get out there regardless of seeing or transparency conditions It takes into account cloud cover precipitation moon phase temperature wind and humidity And I can set threshold values to my preference This app may not be as useful to someone who lives in the southwestern US or other areas where the weather allows observing most nights and the determining factors tend to be seeing and transparency But where I live the weather is generally lousy the available viewing nights are few and I want to know when they will be regardless of seeing and transparency This app does a great job of that and I dont mind spending a few bucks to help keep the developer in business                 Excellent and unique app for astronomers
You can get the same information elsewhere for free And the app is not as user friendly as it should be for what I paid        Waste of money
Basic app completely nonfunctional Author has failed to make promised fix App may work with paid upgrade but I have no faith App should be removed until fixed     Worthless
