User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★So important
This tool is so important in showing how humans are changing the planet. All life depends on darkness for circadian rhythms, and this measures how much we need to return to a healthy state for flora and fauna alike.
★★★★★Very Nice
Jurij: Great app! Certainly a very useful tool for all kinds of things. I found it as someone had linked to it from Reddit. People like to know where to go to stargaze, or see the northern lights. Take care!
★★★★☆VIIRS 2023 availible on website but not app
I like the app but the most recent data, VIIRS 2023, is only on the website making this app useless as of now. Hopefully it will be added soon.
★★★★★Great with some exceptions
I love this app and am optimistic they will update it to be more user-friendly soon. I’d like a user tutorial, and instead of technical labels in the overlay settings, that there were layperson labels. Also on the main map screen there are tools in the top left that have no labels so I don’t know what they do.
