Great app if the information was actually correct!

I signed up for the free trial and was ready to purchase the lifetime version of it because of how convenient everything is - especially the calendar of events!…that is, until I started looking elsewhere for the events the calendar listed and to my surprise every single event on this app’s calendar was on a different day - some one day ahead, some one day behind. Some several days from when this app listed it!It seemed too good to be true - lighting, rocket launches, moon cycles, etc etc all in one spot? That would sign me up for sure. But now I can’t trust anything on the app because the calendar dates aren’t reliable.

Look elsewhere

This app looked promising until I started using it. There are many apps online through the same thing, but for cheaper money. There is a place to add devices, but you can’t even add that only a link to purchase their devices. I already have two of their devices. I don’t need anymore. I’m still trying to figure out where the AI comes in, but there are many cheaper alternatives. I was going to buy perceptual license right now it’s not worth it. This app needs a lot of work and should be cheaper.

MIOPS USUALLY DOES BETTER

I own many MIOPS hardware Products and they all exceed expectations. The sun moon app looks to be their first software only solution and It looks as if they missed the mark here as this does only some of what the competitor does. I think it’s obvious who developed that other app, and the MIOPS app does not seem to bring anything new to the table here. Even if they did, they’re behind the curve and I for one will be staying with the (other) mature product. Sorry Miops - I’m a big fan and promote your products at my photo club meetings, but this time I say stick with what you do best - i.e. Hardware with a dedicated app - that’s your niche.
