Scope Nights Astronomy Weather
authentic ratingValued for a fast, visual week-ahead weather forecast for observing: in a couple of seconds you know whether it's worth hauling the telescope out. But the app has gone years without updates and is riddled with errors: 'forecast unavailable' pops on every launch, saved sites get forgotten, and it can't find your location even at home. For a paid five dollars people call it abandoned.

About the rating
The store 4.53 vs text 3.31 gap is explained by a real breakage: dozens specifically cite the 'global forecast unavailable' error on every launch and 3-6 years of abandonment. Praisers are on-point about the fast weekly forecast too, so no padding is visible.
