● SKY & TELESCOPE MAGAZINE HOT PRODUCT 2013 - "There's no shortage of weather-related apps for the iPhone, but there's only one specifically made for amateur astronomers… Our resident weather maven, who uses more than half a dozen apps and websites to prepare predictions, gives Scope Nights two thumbs up for it's consistent accuracy."

● ASTRONOMY NOW MAGAZINE, NOVEMBER 2012 - "Launch those fireworks! Blast that klaxon! How many of us have laboriously prepared our observing equipment under a clear ceiling, only to have it blotted out by a wall of cloud seconds after we are ready? Or, waited forlornly with undue optimism under leaden heavens for signs of a crack in the sky? At last, here is the help we need..."

Scope Nights is a unique astronomy weather app that uses a combination of national and global weather forecasts to compile detailed stargazing weather ratings up to 10-nights worldwide. Many weather apps are unwieldy, over complicated and very generalised. Scope Nights was designed to be intuitive, quick, and easy, focusing on night-time astronomy conditions. Existing astronomy weather apps were also found to be hard to read and hard to quickly see which nights are the best. The Scope Nights interface was therefore designed to be intuitive showing nightly stargazing summaries at a glance, yet also customisable so the forecast can be tailored to meet observing requirements of dedicated astronomers.

Scope Nights is an indispensable tool for astronomers and a welcome relief from sieving through conventional weather apps. It's designed to be quick and easy to use whether at home or at an observing site, and as the app matures more features will be added, so it’s going to get even better.
