El puntuar con 3 estrellas es primeramente porque no puedo tener una referencia en relación a que la medición de esta app sea correcta. Si la fiabilidad de la medición es lo primero a valorar y tener en cuenta ¿en qué datos fidedignos tengo que comparar esta app?. De momento una estrella menos.
La otra estrella quitada es el hecho de que una app que tiene que estar dirigida a personas de todo el planeta, es incomprensible que solamente esté en inglés y holandés y que otros idiomas sean ignorados. Inglés de acuerdo, pero holandés por delante de mandarín, hindi, español, francés, etc., me parece que no es la forma mejor para que esta app sea más utilizada. El que dicha app esté en holandés porque por ejemplo Mr. Joep van der Heiden sea uno de los desarrolladores e investigadores de DDQ Pocket Science B.V., no es ni mucho menos un motivo para que los otros idiomas no se hallen presentes y si el holandés.
Rubbish
What a useless, rubbish app!
Cloud predicction
The cloud predicction does not work. However it is a nice aplication.
Too Dark reading
I’m not sure it’s working on my new iPhone. It kept giving me an error code that it was TOO DARK! It was one of the clearest dark sky nights last night and I really wanted to log it into the data.
Handy app but
One glaring issue. Not everyone uses UTC regularly. The mobile devices that the app is installed on uses local time. This app need to have the ability to do so also for where it uses time display. It is easier to just look and see local time and not have to worry about time offsets and doing the math.
Great tool!
I noticed sky conditions at my observing locations varied and I wanted to test this, and was looking for a tool. This app performs very nicely and I see the variability quantified according to a standard scale. Also developer very friendly and helpful. I’m going to use this to map out all my observing locations. Well done.
Would not buy
App does not provide any reading other than “too dark for device” when I travel to dark site locations and the app constantly freezes when trying to use the conditions feature.
Great alternative to meter
Provides consistent results for locations between 18.00 and 21.00, I don’t bother with brighter skies and haven’t been to darker skies 21.00 yet. Thank you for this app 😁
Great idea!
Having a dark sky meter on your phone is just brilliant. When I first tried this on iPhone 13, it was close to what I expected and what lightpollutionmap.info said for my dark sky site. With iPhone 14, however, I can’t seem to trust it. It either tells me my Bortle 4 sky is too dark for the device, or I get a reading that is significantly darker than reality. Perhaps a little more tweaking is needed. Other than that, the app is easy to use and doesn’t crash on me.
I wish you only had to take the dark frame once per session, but if you’re taking a lot of readings I suppose the sensor temp can climb.
