    This needs some explanation on colors and what each row means. I just need to know if I can take photos of stars on a particular night. Add some quicker info.
  • App Design

    I enjoy using alpenglow (though not always accurate) so I thought I’d give this app a try. Very straightforward, but I do wish that there was a short description or information to explain each component. As well as an ability to change the temperature and time measurements. Hopefully they can add some features that are on alpenglow to make the app more visually pleasing.
  • 5 stars for general idea

    But I’d love to have settings like in Alpenglow—at least so I can change C to F. Thanks
  • Wow! Great forecast for night sky and more!

    Our daughter found AlpenGlow, which accurately forecasts sunrises and sunsets, and as soon as I saw there was a chance for this Starglow app, to forecast seeing the night sky, I signed up for it. Starglow is NICE! For each hour of the day it shows the suns and moon brightness and how the weather and cloud cover factor into being able to see or not see the stars and planets and other objects in the sky. All the information is in an easy-to-read tabular format. So nice. Thank you, Andy, for this great Starglow app!!
