Comments on Light Pollution Map - Dark Sky for Android

★★★★☆ Jim Silloway · May 13, 2025

Great app for finding dark skies. It's a bit pesky with the ads, though.

★★★★★ Ralph Aeschliman · Oct 7, 2025

As an amateur astronomer who lives in an apartment, I find this app very useful to find good dark-sky observing sites.

★★★★★ Terry Shugars · Jul 4, 2026

Recently moved from Albany, NY and we're looking for a house in the greater Cleveland, OH area. I have been using LPM to help identify areas whose skies might be more conducive for me to pursue my astronomy hobby.

★★★★☆ Rick Beaman · Oct 13, 2025

A very useful tool for star gazing. However, the scale showing the colors associated with each Bottle has a minor mistake. The color between Bottles 4 & 5 is labeled 5.5. It should be labeled 4.5.

★★☆☆☆ astroturtle · Jun 16, 2025

What kind of light pollution map doesn't list the Bottle value for the selected area?

★★☆☆☆ Tom Maiaroto (Tom M) · Apr 30, 2025

Crashes when you search an address, bottle zone value never seems to change no matter where you place a pin, requires $10/yr (not one time fee, really?) just to save locations in a list. no, thank you. Tons of free online maps that provide the same value, it'd be worth paying a one time fee if the data updated based on where you dropped a pin, so you didn't have to guess which shade of blue or green something is. so long as the app doesn't crash of course.

★☆☆☆☆ Ade “Me” Harris · Sep 17, 2025

As is becoming the norm developers think it's ok to charge you over and over again for the same software I will never buy into that scam, app is ok but definitely not for nearly £10 a year!

★☆☆☆☆ James Kuhn · Feb 15, 2026

A completely terrible app, the light pollution scale literally goes from 4 to 5.5, then to 5? That is not how a scale works. It also does not show accurate light pollution, or at least there is no tutorial. You need to develop your apps to be more user-friendly.
