Bought this with lifetime access when it was on sale several years ago and dirt cheap. When I was in a Dark Sky area recently I used it successfully to plan some great shots of the Galactic Centre etc. Everything was spot on and as expected. I hate subscription models too but if you can still get lifetime access for the cost of half a cup of coffee, it's well worth it. Great app. 🙂

Didn't even try it, seen the word "subscription" and uninstalled Edit: I don't support companies that use the subscription model. It's greedy

This app surprisingly has some bad press. It's great for anyone that would like to know where the sun is in relation to the moon, or how much day time Vs night time there is based on the seasons and tilt of the earth axis. The more interested one gets, the more they could discover through the app, like where the milky way is in relation to the sun/moon, and the elevation of the sun and moon in relation to the hemisphere you're in. Great app.
