I normally wouldn’t have given a one star review for this but I can see someone else saying exactly the same thing three years ago. Not fixing it in a five quid app for three years is unforgivable. Gonna request a refund. -- PaulOckenden, 2024-03-02 ### *---- "Unstable - forecast not available." In principle a good all, but frequently states “forecast not available” which you have to click about 10 times to bypass. -- mickydoo, 2023-11-10 ### *---- "No forecasts and alerts" Bought this for the forecast and alerts and it doesn't work. -- markshelbygt500, 2023-09-17 ### *---- "Used to be excellent but" Hasn’t been able to give my results for my local location anymore. Gives one for a location 4 miles away. Cannot reply on it at all now. Shame, it used to be excellent. Not worth paying for now -- Colin-CCS, 2023-08-09 ### *---- "This app doesn’t work" This app doesn’t work. What is it still doing on here. None of its problems have been sorted I assume the developer has just given up on it. Although last year I think they posted something on Facebook (a picture) other than that I’ve not seen any other movement to get things sorted. -- ay! ok. I'll choose another, 2023-06-27 ### ****- "New to the app" Overall seems very good although seems dated in respect of updates. Find the global weather not available pop ups a nuisance as they seem to duplicate as do my sites but sure will Dort out. Not sure how to get on watch though -- mwp7, 2023-03-24 ### ****- "Scope nights" So far so good! Need to fix the weather unable to connect bug! Quite annoying. Has been over a year and weather bug still not fixed. Beginning to make me think of using something else. -- nopoxynameavailable!!!, 2023-02-18 ### ***** "So so helpful.." Finding a forecast app that is tailored so specifically to astronomy has been a godsend. Longer range forecasts to start that sense of anticipation that the clouds might actually be parting sometime are still necessary but having a detailed breakdown of the next five days together with moon stats is a superb resource, and clearly designed by an astronomer -- AlexG-C, 2023-02-09 ### *---- "Potentially so good" Used for a number of years as first choice app for astrophotography weather forecasting but now no longer fits on my iPad Air screen correctly and on both my iPad and iPhone each time I open the app I get multiple messages for my saved locations telling me that “The global forecast is not available” for each location. I then have to click on OK to get rid of each message and have about 10 saved locations. Does this mean that the forecast that is eventually displayed is accurate or not? Come on developers! Please sort this out. These problems should have been pointed out by multiple users and persist. -- Disillusioned Doc, 2023-02-06 ### *---- "Rubbish" When I search for locations, dark sky locations in Galloway Forrest park Scotland and Tiede National park in Tenerife it says the locations can’t be found and doesn’t give me any data -- Paul3751, 2023-02-02 ### ***** "Great upgrade" After being disappointed with a previous upgrade it's only fair to complement the author on the most recent upgrade. A great app and an essential tool for planning your astronomy nights. Great job. -- Chesh74uk, 2022-11-04 ### ***** "Hi" Excellent app easy to use thanks a lot mike -- Mikethebike47, 2022-08-22 ### *---- "Appears to be abandoned" This used to be my go-to app for astronomy weather however, it appears to have been abandoned now and been showing errors for a couple of years. Pity, as it really was a great app for plannning with. -- Fluff-kat, 2022-08-19 ### ****- "Good but buggy" Works well but has an annoying bug where it continually adds duplicate locations. Also lots of annoying “can’t get weather data” pop up messages even though the weather data appears fine -- MikeygXyz, 2022-08-16 ### ****- "Useful guide but battling against UK weather" So far so good on the whole, biggest issue as ever is that our weather is so hard to predict. I get a comment each time that weather info is not available It also struggles to refresh so I get info going back a night or two. -- talk2mike, 2022-05-11 ### *---- "App is dead" Purchased this app expecting a great weather app. Unfortunately it no longer works, only provides a weeks weather which is no good as we know weather changes. The developers Facebook page informs customers of this issue and that was a posted a year ago with no change. There is no information on the App Store and If you purchase this app and want your money back apple won’t give it back. Had to put a claim in through PayPal which I won. -- dhfjejxjdjdjf, 2022-04-13 ### *---- "Total rubbish now" This software used to work. Now it does not work at all! The developer acknowledges that there has been an issue but it is not fixed and their explanation that you should still get uk/us weather is wrong, you cannot! Was four star, now no star. Also the ‘support’ page is impenetrable if you want to contact the developer -- Gin gamines, 2022-04-10 ### ***** "Star Performer!" Scope Nights is a brilliant app! It helps me to plan my astrophotography with a five day tailored forecast, both for my viewing location and my viewing criteria. It is generally accurate over a five-day horizon, enough to make preparations and viewing plans, and is very accurate within 24-36 hours. Of course, this depends on the quality of the local forecasting feed for your viewing location. -- CavallinoRampanteUK, 2022-01-12 [View all Scope Nights Astronomy Weather reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Scope Nights Astronomy Weather Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Ireland | Weather | #17 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Weather | #21 | | Top Paid | Vietnam | Weather | #24 | | Top Paid | Malaysia | Weather | #27 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Weather | #31 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Weather | #33 | | Top Paid | Romania | Weather | #34 | | Top Paid | Israel | Weather | #34 | | Top Paid | Spain | Weather | #35 | | Top Paid | Poland | Weather | #37 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Weather | #42 | | Top Paid | Finland | Weather | #43 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | Weather | #43 | | Top Paid | Ukraine | Weather | #44 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | Weather | #44 | | Top Paid | Denmark | Weather | #45 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Weather | #45 | | Top Paid | Singapore | Weather | #45 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Weather | #46 | | Top Paid | India | Weather | #47 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Weather | #48 | | Top Paid | Peru | Weather | #49 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Weather | #50 | | Top Paid | Australia | Weather | #51 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Weather | #52 | | Top Paid | Canada | Weather | #53 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Weather | #54 | | Top Paid | Philippines | Weather | #56 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Weather | #57 | | Top Paid | Indonesia | Weather | #57 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Weather | #57 | | Top Paid | United States | Weather | #57 | | Top Paid | Saudi Arabia | Weather | #57 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Weather | #58 | | Top Paid | Greece | Weather | #58 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Weather | #59 | | Top Paid | Austria | Weather | #61 | | Top Paid | Thailand | Weather | #62 | | Top Paid | Belarus | Weather | #62 | | Top Paid | Chile | Weather | #63 | | Top Paid | Lebanon | Weather | #63 | | Top Paid | Russia | Weather | #67 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | Weather | #68 | | Top Paid | Taiwan | Weather | #69 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Weather | #70 | | Top Paid | Germany | Weather | #70 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | Weather | #71 | | Top Paid | Japan | Weather | #74 | | Top Paid | Czechia | Weather | #75 | | Top Paid | France | Weather | #78 | | Top Paid | Colombia | Weather | #78 | | Top Paid | Brazil | Weather | #78 | | Top Paid | Norway | Weather | #79 | | Top Paid | Italy | Weather | #83 | | Top Paid | China | Weather | #84 | ## Scope Nights Astronomy Weather Discovered Keywords -
