I have never witnessed the aurora before. After getting this app, I’ve seen them 4 times in the last year, and more to come. The alerts it gives helps me know when they’re coming before everyone posts them on Facebook. The probability map and cloud map are some of the best features they have! The probability map is color coded for quick identification of how likely you are to see the lights, and the cloud map is great for when you can’t see outside just yet but want to know if it’s worth going out in the cold. I wish they could work with NOAA or whoever else they need to to create a cloud prediction map, so rather than just real time it would show when the clouds would clear up or come in to give you the best viewing window possible. It would be great for people prepping for the night time. Also the links they offer to northern lights chasing trips are phenomenal. Currently saving to take the spouse on a vacation. The wide variety of locations and all for great prices make for an amazing selection. Honestly this is a very well put together app, and I would recommend this app to anyone who has even the slightest interest in viewing the aurora, or even people who have no interest because they might have some interest after hearing about it. Thank you developers for all you do, and for helping more people see God’s beautiful art in the sky!

I like that even with the free version you can still get notifications for what your preferences are on what kp index’s are expected based on your location and if they may be visible in the next hour, future kp index’s, forecasts really cloud cover % chance is helpful too and to be updated if you have a chance to see them based on your preferences on what minimum kp and higher index. The Aurora map is interesting to see where the most accurate map possible and reports from people who are currently seeing them and their general location. I just love looking up at the sky and especially LOVE seeing the Aurora Borealis 🥰 So I have used this app for a while now and it’s been worth going out for when I would be notified, or even when I looked at the future forecast and they was a pretty good chance that when we going camping just outside of the Boundary Waters and they were out and we saw that streak of white mist going from west to east and my iPhone 11 was picking up the colors and the misty wider streak was purple with green little streaks going towards the north. I think it’s Steve’s Streak(?), something I saw a couple weeks later about it and I guess it’s rare to see!!! It was a very cool night of shooting star, satellites, and Aurora in the sky …

I used this app while planning, and then enjoying, a trip through Iceland. It is a well-done app that is nicely laid out in a straightforward manner. I got the pro version just to get rid of the ads. I got value from using the app so that was worth it. Overall the app was of good use while in the wilderness in predicting the aurora most days. My only qualm is one night I was in the middle of Thingvellir national park late at night, with 100% cloud cover and no aurora in sight. The app alerted and also had a high KP forecast and showed no cloud cover in my location. IMO That’s no fault of the app, though, because the aurora and weather) are elusive. It’s just to say don’t rely 100% on the accuracy of the app. Before my trip I looked at a few apps and this was one was the best and least complicated of all.

This is seriously a fantastic app. The people who made it rock. It has some flaws that I’m not going to bother mentioning, because this freaking app is free, and the flaws don’t ruin the incredible experience. It NOTIFIES ME when I might be able to see the Aurora!!!! It LITERALLY TELLS ME when to run outside and potentially check this event off my bucket list. And then put it back on because I can’t get enough. It helps figure out where to go. Cloud coverage. Approximate times of the solar storm. Approx location of the storm. It has been insanely helpful for me thus far. You can change your location to get updates there if you are planning a trip or something. Etc etc etc.
