Die Messungen mit dem iPhone und dieser App weichen erheblich von denen mit dem Original Messgerät ab. Bei mir am Ort zeigt das Originalgerät 18.90 an und die App 19.65. Das ist min. eine ganze Blende Unterschied.

If you are looking for an app to tell you how dark areas are- it’s is VERY dependent on others and it’s doesn’t tell you your location. It asks YOU to take a photo to send to others.

I’m not sure it’s working on my new iPhone. It kept giving me an error code that it was TOO DARK! It was one of the clearest dark sky nights last night and I really wanted to log it into the data.

One glaring issue. Not everyone uses UTC regularly. The mobile devices that the app is installed on uses local time. This app need to have the ability to do so also for where it uses time display. It is easier to just look and see local time and not have to worry about time offsets and doing the math.

Selecting Clouds icon shows Loading…. for a few seconds then crashes. Fix this bug for higher rating :)

Provides consistent results for locations between 18.00 and 21.00, I don’t bother with brighter skies and haven’t been to darker skies 21.00 yet. Thank you for this app 😁

Having a dark sky meter on your phone is just brilliant. When I first tried this on iPhone 13, it was close to what I expected and what lightpollutionmap.info said for my dark sky site. With iPhone 14, however, I can’t seem to trust it. It either tells me my Bortle 4 sky is too dark for the device, or I get a reading that is significantly darker than reality. Perhaps a little more tweaking is needed. Other than that, the app is easy to use and doesn’t crash on me. I wish you only had to take the dark frame once per session, but if you’re taking a lot of readings I suppose the sensor temp can climb.

I suppose you have to be an experienced astronomer to understand the numbers, means nothing to me without a guide, not beginner or intermediate friendly, also it says press 1 after camera is ready, no numbers on screen at all, waste of money……
