LightCast Suite

Photography Weather Forecasts

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Chase better light with golden hour scores, Milky Way forecasts, drone conditions, cloud cover, fog, and camera calculators. Know before you drive. LightCast gives landscape photographers a single score for tonight's conditions: golden hour quality, night sky visibility, cloud cover, fog density, and drone flight readiness. No learning curve. No weather expertise required. Just a number, a window, and a reading of the sky. GoldCast: Golden Hour & Sunset Score tonight's sunset or tomorrow's sunrise on a 0–100 scale. See the best shooting window, cloud structure analysis, and a plain-language sky reading. Know whether the light is worth the drive before you leave. StarCast: Night Sky & Milky Way Milky Way core visibility, Bortle class, moon phase, atmospheric seeing, and dark window timing — everything you need to plan an astrophotography session without cross-referencing five different apps. DroneCast: Drone Flight Readiness Wind speed, gusts, precipitation chance, visibility, and flight condition scoring to help plan safer drone flights. Select your exact drone for a personalized flight score. CloudCast: Cloud Conditions & Light Quality Cloud layer breakdown, light penetration, shadow strength, haze level, and a plain-language sky reading — scored by shooting target so you can tell if conditions are ideal for portraits, landscapes, wildlife or long exposures. FogCast: Fog & Mist Conditions Dew point depression, humidity, wind, and overnight sky clarity combined into a single fog probability score. See formation timing, expected density, fog type, and burn-off window — so you know whether a misty morning is worth setting an alarm for. TriCast: Camera Calculators Exposure triangle, ND filter stops, star trail intervals, depth of field, and timelapse settings. Reference tools for the field, always a tap away. Built for photographers, not meteorologists. Designed around real shooting conditions, not raw weather data. LightCast doesn't show you raw weather data and ask you to interpret it. It does the interpretation for you, the same way a photographer would. High cirrus clouds at sunset are good. Low cloud near the horizon is not. A 12% moon is irrelevant for wide field but kills a Milky Way shot. LightCast knows the difference. Save up to three locations on your dashboard and get live scores every time you open the app. Set score thresholds and get push notifications when conditions hit your target, so you never miss a great night because you forgot to check. LightCast Premium is available as a monthly subscription ($2.99/month, after a 7-day free trial). Pricing may vary by region. Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
