Does what it advertises. A few UX tweaks would help, for example the NOAA images are hidden away in the map with a small button, would prefer them in another tab, thanks.
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.
Live in Sitka,Alaska...cloud cover is always an issue. App seems to be spot on with current conditions. Gives heads up notifications.. good graphics
Nice program with Annoying announcements. Hate to wake up by the sound of my phone at the middle of the night ( letting me know about the aurora,,,,,. Uninstalled it right after the first announcement at midnight Icelandic time.
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.
I just got to experience the northern lights for the first time with my wife because of the free version of this app. I saw the notification and saw the lights outside and woke my wife up and we got to experience it together. I just had to upgrade to the paid version to show my support for this app!
Not accurate AT ALL
excellent app
Another solid A- app from JRuston. Quite functional with some helpful features not found in my "Official" app. I own all of the JRuston apps. What they may lack in flash and panache they make up in solid performance and security. I recomend this app.
Yesterday I tried to see the northern lights and failed. Then I thought: NOAA's data is surely free to use. Idea for an app, something that uses you location to ping you when the 1h forecast is good! This app does that and much more, and I'm glad it offers an add-free pro version. Now if only they could strongly state that no personal data is collected and shared, and only the necessary for the functionality is ever used, this app would be exactly what I'd wished for.
