Hi there folks. I used to use Clear Outside as my default app for astronomical weather, but in recent months it seems to be completely inaccurate. For instance tonight (2Mar), CO is showing between 60 - 100 pc cloud cover while BBC Weather and the Met Office are both indicating a clear night for observing. Can you look at this and perhaps re-jog your algorithms? Cheers.
Whilst Latitude can be edited in Locations, Longitude can't, meaning a precise location cannot be entered.
Just what is needed to plan for the evening and morning observations. Clear, easy to use, shows all the relevant factors influencing visibility. Silly comments about Devon being the default location miss the point that users can set their home location to their liking, including accurate longitudes and latitudes. One brilliant app by one brilliant company
I am looking at the 14 15 16 February 2023 and the predicted sky cover results are very different. I cannot attach screen shots but happy to email. So which if either are correct? Location is Helmsley N Yorks.
It's a great app as a photographer, it shows good detail on cloud cover and likely conditions, and generally has been pretty reliable. It's a solid gold 5 star app, except... ...except the opening 'home' page is for the developers location in Devon. And there's no way to change it. I don't use the app enough to remember I have to click 'current location' at the bottom to show me a different location. I really don't understand. It feels bad to moan about a free app that I really appreciate, but it's really annoying nonetheless and you'd think it'd be an easy fix.
And for gods sake, sort out the location on the opening home page!
This seems like a very basic flaw, and the home page should show the current location. How many people in the world are going to want Devon as their default location? The default should be current location unless a user specifies a different location. Also the location page isn’t very accurate, it picks towns/cities a long way from the actual place I want to pick. Most astronomers are going to visit darker skies, so naturally that will be away from large populations. Having the location search only find large towns & cities isn’t helpful. Examples looking for Edale in the Peak District comes up with Manchester, trying Monyash defaults to Bakewell
Fine if you only use the location it’s detected. If you try to search for other locations they either don’t come up, or come up,with the right name but totally wrong coordinates.
Never shows the right location (eg. I select london from search result and it shows manchester’s forecast). Also crashes abruptly.
Mostly works well. Quick to view when skys are clear along with moon phases. Rise and set times. Let down by a bug that prevents you editing negative longitude meaning that you have to use the place search which isn’t great.
