Ratings and Reviews
Don't forget to turn notifications ON in summer
In Australia, we don't get the summer midnight sun, so if you agree to let this app give you notifications when the KP forecast is high, make sure you disable the default option to turn off alerts in summer. I wondered why I missed out on the last aurora show and now I know! Good app by the way, easy to use, nice maps.
Love this app
Great app, especially the alerts. Not many apps cater for the Southern Lights. One thing I’ve realised. KP readings tend to be 1 point higher than the SWS KP readings, but there is a workaround..
Once I receive an alert I then quickly check the SWS site. Been doing this for a while and the 1 point difference between the app and SWS is consistent, so in taking that difference into account the app is still effective.
A light in the sky
Ever since I began thinking of the Aurora and dreaming of one day seeing it, this app has been a daily spark of joy, allowing me to tune into the slow, patient cycle of the magical lights. It’s like a private bank account and each time I open it, I deposit a little more hope against that future joy. It’s a great comfort in our present world.
