Xasteria+ aims to give you quick access to all the weather forecasts & tools you might need in a single app - especially made for those with an interest in the night sky.

It adds the Apple Weather and MET Norway weather sources, and several extra tools and features to the free Xasteria app and was made primarily to fund the 7Timer weather forecast servers. Why not try the free version of Xasteria first - it is completely free with no ads - if you like it, you can support the service by getting Xasteria+ which comes with many extra features:

-Apple Weather configurable hourly/hyperlocal world forecast.
-MET Norway configurable hourly world forecast with cloud layer option.
-Night-vision mode (choice of red/green/blue) with dimmer.
-Lunar Calendar with Sun/Moon graphs and rise/set/twilight.
-Location Manager with choice of location sources (online search, offline database, maps) and access to GPS accuracy/elevation and barometer data (for iPhones/iPads with barometer sensor).
-Solar Eclipses: Find all future Solar Eclipses for any location and simulate them.
-Landscape display mode ability extends to iPhone/iPod.

As with the free version of Xasteria, you get a customizable world forecast from the ASTRO/7Timer service which provides:
-Cloud cover.
-Astronomical seeing.
-Atmospheric transparency.
-Temperature & Humidity.
-Rain/Snow.
-Atmospheric instability.
-Wind Speed & Direction.
Apple Weather and MET Norway forecasts add visibility, dew point and more.

Xasteria provides you with a choice of 3 visualization modes for the data: an icon/graphic display based on 7Timer's ASTRO, the color-stripe graphics similar to some other astro-forecast services and a raw text mode.

Additional features:
-Quick access to selected astro-weather web sources like Clear Outside, Meteoblue, Windy, Astrospheric, Sat24.com, the latest water vapor satellite images and animations, as well as the nearest Clear Sky Charts.
-Light pollution report/maps for your location.
-ISS and bright satellite passes for your location (data from heavens-above.com).

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

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

Great app but…

I have been using the app for about a year, but the weather predictions aren’t as accurate anymore as they used to be. I doubt it’s the app that is the problem though, but more the websites it’s getting the date from. For example, last night it should have been clear, but it also said it would rain.

Are you referring to both 7Timer and Dark sky? They are from very different weather models so, it's always good to look at both. I am planning to add more sources in the future. Strange though that you see a degradation in the forecast quality lately, at least the 7Timer one which is based on NOAA's GFS would not have changed its algorithm in the last year.
