Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Smarter cloud cover — now measures low-altitude clouds only, so high cirrus no longer makes clear skies look fully overcast.
• Evening aurora notifications — the nightly forecast now arrives at 7pm local time with tonight's best viewing window, not in the middle of the night.
• New imminent peak alert — opt in from Settings to get pinged 30 minutes before peak Kp.
• Location-aware storm impact — every G-scale alert now shows what it means for your latitude: "No impact", "+X% chance" or "Makes aurora visible".
• Forecast chart overhaul — clear NOW marker, past vs future shading, and a fix for a data bug that was silently collapsing bars onto a single point.
• Map now auto-centers on your location the moment it's ready.
• Dozens of small reliability fixes: date parsing across all NOAA endpoints, faster-failing NASA requests, modernized to iOS 26 MapKit geocoding, automatic cache invalidation to prevent stale data.
