Then I came across Blue Planet.
It seemed to do pretty much everything that EarthDesk did, except display clouds in real time, and it’s a fifth of the price.
Have tested both apps, I found Blue Planet was a simpler setup. I did, however, want a couple of features it doesn’t have – so I contacted the developer and he was most receptive to suggestions.
You can’t put a price on that!
