It’s just an alternative prediction from another data source.

The big question  is will clear outside carry on its powered by dark skies and they have just become apple app only 

I hope it does as its a nice app

I have started using 'NightShift' in conjunction with CO. They both give slightly different forecasts, so I'm trying to compare the 2.

Nightshift's display is better than the CO app, I think. But I like the CO webpage display the most.

It is on Android. Not sure if it's exclusively, though.

You maccies have DarkSky, though - don't you? That was pulled from Android after Apple bought it.

Thanks @pixies.

DarkSky and CO use the same data so will give the same forecast.  (And CO is good for another year or so - and even beyond I'm sure they'll find a data provider - so I'll stick with them).
I was hoping to augment the CO / DarkSky info with one from another source / forecasting model - ideally one used and recommended by a SGL user.
More sources = better picture. In theory at least.
Oh well.

Tonight the 2 apps have different forecasts:

I'm hoping CO is correct.

They both agree it's good until 1am.  CO then goes up from 3 to 13 but stays green, whereas NightShift goes amber.  They must have a lower threshold.

Having 2 is better than 1 I reckon.

I believe - though i'm happy to be corrected - that the Mobile App is just a contained view of the website; so I can't see it being pulled from the Play Store.

I like nightshift too, i think it's a nice little app; though the only forecast I really use, is by looking out of the window....
