Subscriptions may be managed by you in your iTunes account and auto-renewal may be turned off by going into your Account Settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Won’t load :(

Updated and saw the change log when opening. However it now won’t load at all and stays on the main screen. Just in case you didn’t know :) (I’m on 15.1)

inconsistent across devices and just plain doesn’t work!

I downloaded this whilst in Northumbria hoping it would help me identify best days to get up early for sunrises etc.

I use both iPhone and an ipad. Ignorance of using only 1 device is bliss maybe.....the iPhone and ipad never agreed for exactly the same locations. Completely inconsistent. Which do you believe, device 1 or device 2?.....one says 20% chance of a good sunrise, the other says 50% chance.

What makes it worse and urguably the multi device issue redundant is that the prediction plain does not work in the first place!

We have recently had some wonderful colour in the sky for both sunrises and sunsets......so i check my phone to see what the prediction is so that i may calibrate my expectations for future.....low and behold, beautiful sky = 15% quality in this app.

Another attempt, amazing colour and drama =24%

No solutions from the app designer........do not waste your money on this random number generator.

Unfortunately i forgot there was a trial period after which they mug you for £22.........learn from my mistakes and really do not bother!

Waste of time and money.

Killer tris ,

Has potential but sadly misses at the end.

The app itself is a good concept but sadly it’s been written to maximise profit over functionality.
Unless you pay a subscription you can only charge change the location once a day and you can only check the forecast 3 times a day, if the upgrade was a one off cost it would be worth it but it’s a monthly or annual subscription, other products like afterglow are far better value and don’t rely on the subscription.
