I enjoy the photos of the sun and the forecasts of the solar activity, living at the 59th latitude North here in Alaska it is enjoyable to see the aurora borealis/northern lights on clear crisp nights that we have. Looking at my phone app helps keep me in the warm cabin and gives me the heads up on when to go outside to enjoy the green serpents that slither across the dark sky , Niffelhime bro
Works

This was the only app that successfully alerted us to northern light activity on our Nov 2024 trip to Iceland. Every time it sent a notification, we went outside and were able to capture some activity. None of the other apps did. Worth every penny for the subscription!
Not accurate

Okay I download this app so I can see the aurora but turns out this app is not accurate I tried and tried and tried so in mate and on in October it was I saw them and it was like 8KP index on the other app on my Aurora Forecast Pro but turns out this app doesn’t really want to work because it won’t start nobody actually likes it so just keep up the work and I think Disney app these better updates or it should just be took it taken off I don’t like it has a high review but turns out worse then the regular apps so I read this one doc want one star
Consistent quality information

This is my go to for daily status reports on solar activity and viewing opportunities on my solar telescope. Good data , well presented. Only complaint is the lack of support documentation to explain all the solar spectral views . Additional information would be helpful to new viewers
