Bug
Good apps but, are there bugs? 14:12pm 26 Feb 2025 The chart of the app displayed 2020 (5 years ago)…
Wow
Best💫
Constantly crashes
This used to be the best app for meteor showers. Now it’s completely unusable. It crashes upon doing anything at all. Even sometimes by doing nothing. I can use the tracker which is the most important bit.
Good but I can’t really understand the bottom part where there north west east south thing is
I’m a little meteorologist plus aurora borealis fan but yes this is useful for people that mostly know stuff already very very useful whoever made it I appreciate you lots
Visualizations!
When selecting visualizations for a particular shower it tries to load then goes blank?
Love this app
Phenomenal app for tracking meteor showers and planning when/where to best view them
💫💫💫💫
Thanks to this app. I’ve got to see some pretty amazing things in the night sky
Shooting stars
I finally got to see my first shooting stars🥹
Does what it’s designed for
I enjoy using this app. It’s straightforward and to the point. I’m supposed to have meteor shower functionality in another app that I paid for, but it’s so complex to use there’s no way to tell how to even get to it and now they want a subscription on top of it! I really do like one app that does its thing well vs a jack of all trades app. A few things I would recommend to be added/fixed/improved: 1. The notifications don’t work. I’ve never received anything about an upcoming meteor shower. 2. It would be great if there was a widget for this. I can see the app being used so much more when actively seeing what’s coming up. (To me, this would be a big improvement.) 3. A way to find what the appropriate light pollution scale is for where I’m located. That way the app could auto update the correct scale of what to expect. Otherwise, I love it and continue to use it. Thanks for making it!
And it’s FREE!?!!!
LOVE THIS APP

Bug
Sometimes this app is not working properly I hope they can fix it as soon as possible
Long time awaited
Wish I had this 40 years ago when I was a first time ham radio operator!!!
Best Meteor App in Store
This is very far the best meteor shower app in the whole App Store. Kudos to the developer!
Amazing
My wife and I were looking for an app that could help us know the best time to see activity. Having the ability to be notified of upcoming events is amazing !!! Only feedback I would have, is I'd love to be able to set a minimum threshold per hour to get notices. Days where there's 100 an hour? Yes please!!! 20, meh, ha ha.
Easy and Informative but…
As others have said, this is one of the best and most informative however there is no ability to add a calendar reminder or alert; you must check the app regularly for upcoming events
One EPIC app
A phenomenal app for astrophysicists. And it’s free. Thanks for developing.
Thanks for adding ‘radio’ mode
The ‘radio’ setting reports all meteors, day & night. Great for planning ham radio meteor scatter contacts!
