Observation Lite for Users Outside North America
Now that Observation Lite is out, the core functionality of Observation is available for international users. Because the data source for Conditions in the full version is only for North America I was unable to sell it anywhere else.
Observation Lite might be missing the Conditions information, a large chunk of the full version’s functionality, but it’s by no means a “limited” edition of Observation. It is otherwise fully-functional. Log entries won’t have seeing and transparency automatically filled in, but in feedback I have received since Observation was released, this seems to be a fair trade-off. Observation is the only app on the iPhone/iPod Touch dedicated to recording astronomy log entries, and this lets international users in on the party.
The only down-side is that the only localization available is english. I will be working the bring more translations in the future.
I’m still looking for alternative data sources to bring the full version to users outside of North America, but I do hope this proves useful in the meantime.
