A simple app which has good lay out and not much imformation to confused any body. Keeps you updated when there might be aurora seen. There was recent aurora activity and kept me updated and glad I saw the northern lights while camping. I think.there can be more information and latest predictions so people can travel to see the northern lights. Simple app to use!
Absolutely must have if you willing to shot aurora. While it is extremely useful to use it when planning to get view tonight don't forget params might change dynamically any minute so don't forget to follow BZ, solar wind speed and KP together. Read some easy tutorials which might give you some spectacular shots even when KP is low. Would suggest to extend app to display some params as widgets directly on your main screen. That's why I am giving 4 out of 5 stars
The app does a good enough job explaining Aurora probability. I wish it had a feature where users can confirm that the Aurora is visibly present so that alerts can be sent within a geographical area to other users. The strength of the alert could be bolstered by other users confirming or denying they are visible. Even though I get alerts I rarely see the northern lights because I can't wait around outside in the freezing cold. A user generated alert would be wonderful.
Great app. Probably would have missed the Northern Lights outside Tromso without it and gone to bed. But setting my location and seeing the percentage increase made me go outside and it was amazing. Good value to pay extra to remove the ads.
A very user-friendly app. It's very easy to get started and with more details to explore in the app. Ads are not bothering. I had good use of this app for a few years and have now bought the pro version to support the developer. App could be better if nearby users could confirm if/when it's visible light to make forecast accurate from each area. "5 users in this area have confirmed auras are not/slightly or very visible right now" with option to change answer if the light appeared/disappear.
Updated review: Make sure you set the location to custom if you want viewing probability and cloud coverage data, otherwise it won't show. I do consider this a design flaw, or at least something that could be made clear to the user. It took me some figuring out, as I had it set to "current location", which I find would be more useful, especially when driving around looking for viewing spots. Other than that the app is relatively easy to use & simple in design; decent for tracking the lights.
This app is thorough and insanely detailed. There is an impressive level of transparency regarding where the data comes from. It makes viewing the lights achievable for virtually anyone with a smart phone.
It shows "recalculating" all the time... Got some results only once in a few days. Worthless unless the GPS/Location update bug is fixed. Edit: It started working in the end. Had to manually set up the Custom Location. Thanks.
Cool app. lot's of nice features. Recommended!
I love this app. Although I've not yet been fortunate enough to see the aurora, it does give me notifications of when it's likely to be visible where I am. 🤞🏻I have better luck moving forward. I installed the pro version and was disappointed because I'd not realised that doing so supported the developers rather than offering extra features. Since I wish them well and really appreciate the app, I'll happily 'buy them a coffee'. Keep going guys!
