User Reviews for Light Pollution Map - Dark Sky

It keeps Crashing

This app was my favorite and it was working great for like 2 years. Recently anytime I open the light pollution app it crashes. I am so sad. I really hope it gets fixed.

Will not load light pollution layer, minimizes app into background mode

My Astrophotography instructor from a local College recommended this app. Very disappointed, it is unusable. Allowed it to use my location while open, selected light pollution map from list, the satellite view displayed. Only 30% of the light pollution overlay manages to load from the left side of iPad Pro display, then instantly the app closes! Double click my home button, and I see the app in the App Switcher. There are no updates in the App Store.

Unable to search

The app is great. However, for some reason I cannot type in a location. It keeps saying unable to search try again. I have internet connection and all.

Map is in error over southwestern Lake Michigan.

IMPORTANT***** NOTE TO CREATORS OF THIS APP ***** The map around Lake Michigan is in GREAT ERROR. The cities have to be relabeled with their true location. THe edge of Lake Michigan is not accurately labeled. The extreme pollution over Chicago is shown west of Chicago. ***** NOTE TO CREATORS OF THIS APP ***** notify me when this is adjusted. This is a huge error.****WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SKEWED LAKE MICHIGAN CHICAGO LABELING I LOVE THIS APP ***** the APP is incredible. I'm relocating to Arizona and using this map to choose a location under the darkest skies. The upgrade is the best $9.99 I ever spent on an app. Well worth it.

Great app and customer service

As an amateur astronomer, this app is perfect for finding a good location to observe. If you are serious about astronomy, the paid version has enough useful features to justify a one-time purchase, plus you get priority support, which has proven beneficial to me. Hats off to the devs!

the most important feature crashes the app

I downloaded this so I could see the light pollution map but clicking the map crashes and closes the app. Other features work but the fact that the feature that shares the name of the app doesn’t work is… confusing at best.

App performance

The app has good intentions, especially for astrophotographers trying to plan out those good shots. But the app keeps crashing in the light pollution map, and I just downloaded it. The events calendar also isn’t up to date either, I’m sure there are more events than just meteor showers.

A busy disappointed

For the pro price, I’m disappointed. The location manager part of the app just crashes when trying to use as does the aurora. There are issues with zoom resetting when weather overlay is on and it is telling when the darkness here ends in the middle of the day. Also, the calendar appears to have nothing in it.

Free version pretty useless

Tried the free version. Didn’t do much. What it did do seemed very slow. Didn’t give much incentive to lay out 10 bucks for the “pro” version. Deleted.

Crashes all the time

I have used it in the past and found it useful for night photography. I purchased the pro version and the thing crashes right after getting my area loaded. If this is not fixed soon I am definitely going to fight to get my money back. Does not seem like they care about the app instead pushing other apps.
