Incorrect shower time on overview #8
Comments
This is not a bug at all. The overview tries to give a representative sample of all the stars that appear by grouping stars that appear closely and giving an average of the time. As the in-app FAQ says:

ah indeed, I was too focused on the prediction between midnight and 1 AM that I didn't challenged my assumption on the 2 AM prediction which was having a fine weather but still was rounding the stars time occurrence. I'll be more careful next time, thanks for your answer |
Given the fact that we are supposed to track our shooting stars down to the second when entering them, averaging the times sends a very mixed signal. It would be much better to see "7:07-7:15" in the summary than "7:10". |
I'm sorry but this behavior is very misleading, even if it's written in the FAQ. The app idea is about finding exact seeds, knowing the exact weather, and all its exact patterns. Averaging the times goes against its own exactness ethos. I also support the range idea, something like 19:07—19:15 would be a better option if the times are too close together, and there are more than 3. Maybe even out a (N) to show how many of them, like 19:07—19:15(4). |
Second @zeroum 's comment. It is misleading to show a precise time when that precise time is not indicative of a precise event. I think something like "Expect star events between 7 and 7:30" for n>=1 or some such. |
I respect the designer's idea, and I agree with zeroum's opinion that this design might be misleading for some users. |
The time provided on the overview for the star shower of the current day doesn't match the time provided in the day forecast.
I believe the overcast page still use the old system from 1.2
What leads me to think that is that at midnight, which has a fine weather, the time is correct. But at 1, with a cloudy sky, the time is incorrect
