Meteor Shower is an iPhone and Android app that tells you when a meteor shower is worth going outside for, from where you actually are.
Everything below is free to use in coverage of the app. Take what you need, or all of it in one file.
About the app
A description to copy
From a location and a date, it works out the night's best hours, where the radiant sits in the sky, how much the Moon will wash out and how many meteors a person could realistically count. Alerts arrive before a shower's peak and can skip the nights that clouds would spoil.
Home-screen widgets keep tonight's answer in view, and an AR sky scanner points the phone at the radiant. The app speaks 32 languages, with astronomy terms checked by native speakers; it needs no account and shows no ads. It is made by Ilsur Gabdulkhakov, an independent developer, together with the forecast website meteorshower.me.
