Beschrijving

Xasteria was originally created to bring the excellent ASTRO weather forecast of the service 7Timer to your iOS device. With worldwide coverage and one of the best performing astro-seeing models, it is a great tool for all stargazers.

The app has been extended to offer you quick access to all of your favourite weather resources and tools: Clear Sky Charts (for North American users), Clear Outside, Meteoblue, Windy, Astrospheric, Sat24.com, the latest water vapor satellite images and even light pollution maps.
ISS and bight satellite passes for your location are also shown (data from heavens-above.com).

The main forecast source, 7Timer, is based on the NOAA/NCEP-based numeric weather model, the Global Forecast System (GFS) and gives you a forecast for the entire globe with a resolution of about 20km at 3-hour intervals.

The data provided includes:
-Sun/Moon rise/set & twilight times.
-Moon phase.
-Cloud cover.
-Astronomical seeing.
-Atmospheric transparency.
-Temperature.
-Humidity.
-Rain/Snow.
-Atmospheric instability.
-Wind.
-Wind direction.

Xasteria provides you with a choice of 3 visualization modes for the data: the new 7Timer! ASTRO graphics, the color-stripe graphics similar to some other astro-forecast services and a raw text mode.

Xasteria is available in English, Greek, German and French. If you would like to translate it to your own language, please contact the author.

Xasteria will always be ad-free. If you would like to support it, as well as fund the 7Timer service behind it, you can get Xasteria Plus, which can access non-free weather sources and has some extra features like night vision mode, iPhone landscape view, lunar calendar, solar eclipse simulator, location manager.

I would appreciate a quick review on the App Store if you are using the app (there will be no popup asking you in the app as I hate those). If you have a specific request/suggestion you can also try the official app page at http://astro.ecuadors.net

Versie 4.9

Please support the app by rating or reviewing! You will never get any annoying in-app popups asking you to do so.
Here's what's new:
- Light Pollution Map added as an extra button under "Other" sources (some new users had trouble finding it) and fixed light pollution source data selection.
- Increased contrast blue text in weather view and other tweaks.
- German language fixes.

Simple yet useful

I always love the possibility of both portrait and landscape. For the rest: simple yet useful.

Language problem

This can very well be a good app. But onlyh if you make it clear how to change the language from Greek to English.

Hello. Apps on iOS do not control the language themselves. The app supports English, Greek, French and iOS selects among those three the device language you have most recently used. You probably are using Dutch currently and for whatever reason your phone was at some point set to Greek, this set a precedence for your phone to select Greek if an app supports it. You don't see it with other apps because there are hardly any that support Greek. If you go to your phone General->Language settings and select English, then go back to whatever other language you wish (but not Greek again!) the app will load in English.
