Astro Panel (Astronomy)

The only astronomy weather app where the cloud forecast does not work.

Can't download hours of darkness feature. I don't know if this is a phone issue or app issue. Or maybe you deleted this feature.

Thank you for keeping this app alive. Very very good work. Much appreciated.

It won't update what day it is. It shows me the past 3 days and is not even current. Checked and checked and checked for some "refresh" or something. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall. I sit here writing this Saturday morning and it only goes to last night at midnight. I'm not bothering with it any more. I'll just look at the weather forcast...

The 7timer server has been down for some time now. Without it, the app is obviously, utterly useless! Just wondering if the developer(s) is/are looking into this or at another alternative server, or have you just GIVEN UP and we should uninstall it for good?

The app tries to connect to 7timer service and doesn't work without it. 7timer service has been down for a while. Which is a real shame, as this used to be a really useful tool. A definite 5 stars, but broken an absolutely pointless app.

This app is amazing.... when it works. I use it to forecast perfect conditions for astrophotography but progressively more and more the app doesn't connect to the host site to gather data. Quite disappointing really because when it is working it's one of the best apps of its kind.

I really like the app, unfortunately it seem to have stopped working. It doesn't update and I keep getting the "astro panel has stopped working" message. I hope this is resolved soon.

Really disappointed considering the promise ths app held. Its features r i guess too good 2 b true NOW OWN S7EDGE-APP IS PERFECT! Workz as listed, happy 2 change to 4

Used to work a few months back. Download it again recently but it throws up an error contacting the 7 timer service

It's been an indispensable companion over the years on three of my devices. Sometimes the downtime got to me , but otherwise , it kept me that much closer to starry skies with quite accurate measures of transparency, cloud cover , sunlight and moonlight durations , seeing , cloud cover in octas and so on . In fact , quite so useful that I haven't reviewed it over 3 years :) .

It can't access server to see details, overview and calendar. I can only access hours of darkness and light and ISS info.

Not sure if Dev is having issues with DNS or hosting, but the App doesn't seem to update anymore.

Seems like a great app. I've only used it a couple of nights and so far it seems pretty accurate. A look at this can save me a trip up the mountain to my usual observing spot.

The current wind is from east but it reports from west. The website of this app points to gambling

It worked once upon a time but not any more some kind of 7 error crap. I think the author lost interest. I downloaded it twice in the past year on two different phones but no go. It says downloading when you start the program and it never comes up with a screen. Hey it is free so why should the guy care, he should just remove it so people will not waste their time trying it.

Server is down most of the time. This app is a nice idea but since it can't download weather data it's useless. Get the clearoutside app instead, at least that one works.

This app is great. when u open it give it a minute to download before clicking on detail view or over view or It will say there is a problem contacting 7timer service. Just be patient and let it download first.

The only things I don't like is you have to give your GPS location manually and it takes a while for the local data from the net to be downloaded, but I am allocated a certain amount of high speed internet a month when I add airtime to my phone. But it doesn't take forever to download net data when my speed slows down. Very visually pleasing. Nice graphics and awesome overview graphics. This app with its nice graphics needs to be a live TV channel. Human announcer giving forecasts, background music, etc.

This app does a great job of giving you all pertinent information about observing the night sky! Moon phase and altitude, humidity, wind, cloud cover, etc. I find that it's way faster than before after the last update. I use it to plan my astrophotography sessions. Thanks for this great app.

As title suggest, worked fine for a while...now won't connect to update.

This is a great app but the data host 7timer hasn't worked for months. Real shame as it was the best. Uninstalled.

I liked AstroPanel very much for showing transparency and the resolution allowed by the atmosphere. These cannot be found in the usual weather apps... But unfortunately it became unable to load any data a few months ago. Says "downloading", but nothing happens... Finally I gave up and uninstalled. :(

Used to work great on my Galaxy 4 then after an update it never worked again. Now I have a Galaxy 6 and still it won't work. Best app to use if your an amateur astronomer. Was always pretty darn accurate. Would really like it to work again. But nothing I do works.

Great when it worked, but now just gets stuck on "Downloading and Calculating"

I would love to see this as a lived streamed TV channel app. A astronomy forecast channel with live human announcers, background music, is passes for local are, etc.

Really disappointed considering the promise ths app held. Its features r i guess too good 2 b true

Ive always liked this app and it would get 5 stars.but now its stopped working.it just tells me that my data isnt on but im connected to my wifi and then the program just quits. Any suggestions on how to fix it. Ive tried reinstalling it. Thanks for the update. 5 stars :) will now only update When I'm on 4G and not any wifi connection for some reason.

Like the idea but it won't retrieve data most of the time

When the app decides it will play ball and keep its weather data up to date it's a brilliant app, but of late the regular updating of its database has been something of a rarity, rendering the app useless for days at a time.

Sorry guys, my 1st review said the app was telling me all the wrong things.!? Changed location by adding - to the latitude, and now spot on.

Well done developer. You have given me a very useful tool to add to my astronomy toolbox. What a good idea and well thought out. You amature astronomers out there give this a go. Accurate enough for me.

Used be a great app, but hasn't been updating information and now doesn't load. I've been using it for about 2 years and generally it's a good app, just unreliable.

This was a great app but now spend days unable to download data. Perhaps it's a victim of it own success and too many now use it. But if the developers can't fix it soon I'll be uninstalling it.

As many others have reported this app no longer appears to reliably download its data from the Internet when you start it up. It does still sometimes alert you which means it is sometimes succeeding, but never when you need it to.

App is trying to get data from a site that's down 99% of the time .It worked for a few days several months ago but it no longer does.The info was accurate for the two days it worked.Fix it and I'll change my review .

Now won't load up data from 7timer. Tried reinstalling and same results just keeps scanning with no data being downloaded. Running on a Samsung Galaxy S3 4G with android 4.3

Didn't think it was working bit it is, just takes longer than usual to download data

Not bad BUT on the detailed view it shows seeing conditions better when its cloudy?

This app is amazing.... when it works. I use it to forecast perfect conditions for astrophotography but progressively more and more the app doesn't connect to the host site to gather data. Quite disappointing really because when it is working it's one of the best apps of its kind.
