Reviews: What People Think About Light Pollution Map - Dark Sky
Dhwell
Rating: 5/5
IMPORTANT***** NOTE TO CREATORS OF THIS APP ***** The map around Lake Michigan is in GREAT ERROR. The cities have to be relabeled with their true location. THe edge of Lake Michigan is not accurately labeled. The extreme pollution over Chicago is shown west of Chicago. ***** NOTE TO CREATORS OF THIS APP ***** notify me when this is adjusted. This is a huge error.
****WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SKEWED LAKE MICHIGAN CHICAGO LABELING I LOVE THIS APP ***** the APP is incredible. I'm relocating to Arizona and using this map to choose a location under the darkest skies. The upgrade is the best $9.99 I ever spent on an app. Well worth it.

I was getting ready to delete this app when I decided to look it up and see if there were any updates pending. The app hasn’t worked for me for quite some time and I was tired of it taking up space. When it worked it was an invaluable tool for night time/astrophotography by offering a light pollution map that showed you LP conditions based on your location. But with functionality lost, it’s a waste. THEN I came across a review that suggested a “fix” to keep the app from crashing.
IT WORKED! I just set Location Access Permissions to “Never” and I can use the LPM portion of the app again! The only problem with this fix is that you have to manually find where you are and pin your location. This doesn’t seem too complicated unless you’re somewhere you’ve never been before.
This app hasn’t been updated in a long time and I fear it’s going to go the way of so many other good apps and be lost without intervention, optimization and fixes. I hope it does get fixed! I love this app!

This used to be a great app. I used it frequently to plan routes when traveling to find good dark areas to stop for the night to do some imaging.
Currently using iOS 17 and this app stopped working for me at about 4 months ago. The app loads fine and then as soon as the map loads the app shuts down with a hard crash. The main menu loads at first open, and you can use every menu item without crash, but once the map is opened the whole app crashes.
Hope an update is put out soon to fix. It’s hard to find a replacement that does what this one used to do.
