Xasteria Plus - Astro Weather

Packed with useful information for planning your astrophotography or just an evening under the stars. If only it could ‘control’ the weather! 😀

A lot of data on one page at a glance. Make sure you read legends and quick start to get most out of the app. Well done!

First I tried the Clear Outside app. Terrible UI and totally outdated format and crashed often. Next I tried Scope Nights. Definitely a step up, but then it started to have a pop up saying there was an error for every single one of my saved locations and they would appear every time a new page loaded. With a lot of saved locations it became really bothersome to clear so many pop up notifications whenever I was using the app. This app has none of those problems and a much better system for saving

While a beginner with the night sky, this app is so helpful, with all kinds of options and info about the various factors in the atmosphere. I recently stayed up a bit later (upon reading elsewhere of good viewing), and wondered just why all seemed somewhat hazy/ cloudy….or something. Remembering to check this app ended up telling me all I needed to know (and then some, what with the options!). It's now my go-to. It's also so good on the iPad.

After purchasing the app, I found that if you select the Apple weather tab, it causes the app to crash, and is no longer able to be opened and has to be uninstalled/re-installed to be able to use it. The app has a link to their support messaging page, but when you try to send a message it errors out and says “ The form was unable to submit. Please contact the site administrator.“
