Great GUI. Very good overview of the meteor shower calendar. I would like to give 5 stars but the best feature... adding a meteor shower date to the calendar ist not working :-(
The last update doesnt work when we select a meteor shower it crash.
I purchased this app so I could identify the meteors we saw when we were at the lake this summer. In addition to telling you what meteor showers are currently happening, it also tells you when the meteor shower starts and ends, and how many meteors per hour youre likely to see. What would make this app even better is to have it identify the likelihood of you seeing meteors based on the weather in your area. Good app.
Does what i was looking for and is reliable. Thank you.
The app is very easy to use, and does exactly what it is intended to do. Maybe in a future update you could add 12 hour clock (AM/PM) support?
I took a chance buying this app as there were no reviews. I am very glad that I did purchase this well designed program. Very intuitive and well laid out. All the info needed to plan a future meteor shower observation session is easily shown. Moon phase icons next to the shower name and date work great. One click takes to a very detailed info about the event. You can easily go back in time too to get historical data. It is hard to believe that this is a free app. Kudos to Howard Edin for this great contribution to the world of backyard astronomy. This app has won a spot in my top 10! Thank you very much.
Missed the Perseids because being a newbie, I read the peak times wrong on the web and missed it. This app is very specific. The two only improvements I can suggest so far is 1) ability to add to iPhone calendar as an event, and 2) a sort of rating system on the main screen as far as how visible/active a particular event will be (maybe this cant be done because of varying viewing locations?). But definitely very cool app if you love to watch shooting stars! :)
This app gives all the information for viewing meteor showers throughout the year. Well laid out. Cant wait to see the future functionality improvements.
I love your comments on the visibility and moon phase. It could be much improved by adding moon rise and set times, as you did recently for the sun.
There is no way to manually set a location. The Adjust Location button only allows selecting the current location - Thats no help for predictions for remote locations.
Would be nicer if I could email a shower to a friend. :)
I just installed it and I like it. It looks like you can set alerts, but the app locks up and crashes every time I hit the alert button. Glad I only paid 99 cents. It needs to be fixed.
The alert function hasnt worked since iOS 5. Its time to fix it.
Just what I was looking for! The alerts are a really important feature for me so I too would appreciate an update to allow them to work with ios 5+ thanks!
It would help if the data on the shower also indicated the nearest constellation for the radiant, apart from that its very good.
Alerts are key for this app. Fix and five stars!
Great app! *Calendar Alert needs to be updated to be compatible with iOS5 Add an email feature!
I wanted an app to inform and remind me about upcoming meteor showers. This appeared to be it. Clicking alert freezes the app. Id be better off just looking up the information on the Internet.
Seems to have a lot going for it. I just wish the settings would let the time switch out of military time.
