I used to use this app reliably with my old Android 5s, and the results agreed well with a dedicated sky meter costing $300. But now, using an Android 11 Pro, the results are WAY OFF. I took both iPhones out, side by side, the 5s gave a reading of 19.45 (correct), while the Android 11 Pro gave a reading of 17.58 (WRONG!). Can’t trust this app anymore.
In Tekapo dark sky reserve one of the dark places in the world and app registered the sky as brightly lit when there is virtually no artificial light.
I had used this at home in Bortle class 6 area and the readings seemed reasonable. Then I took it to a dark site, listed as one of the darkest areas in the continental US. I got multiple failures from the app, and finally it gave me a reading of bright suburban sky. At this point I gave up. I do not believe this app is trustworthy
This update doesn't have the cloud prediction.
The app seems to be designed for Android 1 The camera area displayed on screen is just 1 x 1 pixel dimension, developer of this app, haven't you heard about AutoLayout? The operations that go to networks don't seem to work. Are you using http only traffic? That doesn't work anymore in latest iOS versions. I cannot even switch the camera to decide if I want to use front or back camera. It would be so much easier to use the front camera, face the phone flat to the surface and follow the instructions.
