  • Missing Address Geo Query

    By Mustard_Tree (Pcmac user)

    Great app. Needs the ability to either query grid coordinates or mailing addresses, or add the ability to drop pins via a coordinate inputted by the user.
  • Very good app!

    By ateallthecupcakes (Pcmac user)

    It does what I need it to do. Layout is a bit plain but it does the job! But I think there should be another update for new the app sites.🌌
  • Little Value

    By BravoFoxtrot76 (Pcmac user)

    This app provides a light pollution map and a handful of random the app sites. You can find more current light pollution maps online for free. The the app sites listed in my state don’t appear to be public or part of any astronomy club. More like someone’s back yard. Save your $2 and google the information that you need.
  • Very cool app but needs some bug fixes

    By iwasatACL (Pcmac user)

    I am very pleased that I can use this map on an iOS device since it's difficult to control on any other websites that offer this. My problem is that the app will crash about 40%-50% of the time when I try to tap on the info button when a location is selected (I'm using an iPhone 5S running iOS 8.0.2). Another major issue for me is that I don't like how I have to either choose between turning location services on all the time even when app is not running or just turn it off all together (then have to manually turn it on in settings if I want to use it). It would just be nice if I could do like other apps do and just have it running when I open the app. Other than that everything is great. It would also be nice (but not necessary) to allow you to copy the address or gps location so you can copy/paste it into another Maps application like Google Maps or whatever. From personal experience, I try to stay away from Apple Maps solely when I'm driving in unknown rural areas because it has taken me on some strange dirt backroads in the past that it shouldn't have. If you fix the crashing and location services issues then I will surely increase my rating to 5 stars!
