Decent, but not quite polished

To mention first: I understand that “forecasting” Aurora is extremely difficult, and far less accurate than predicting rain or snow. With that, this app is overall decent, but missing a couple things that would really complete it.First, the app doesn’t seem to consider local weather or daylight hours when sending alerts. I will see an alert saying that there is a higher chance of seeing Aurora in the next couple of hours, only for the sky to be completely overcast and approaching solar noon!Secondly, I am not sure where the app is sourcing the data from. I am assuming the NOAA OVATION Aurora model, but it would be great to confirm that and possibly even add in forecasting from other sources (the University of Alberta, local to where I live, runs an “AuroraWatch” prediction site). I know there are other European-based agencies and departments that run models. They don’t all have to be an option, but if there was a mechanism to request inclusion and then work on integrating the top requests it would be awesome. For inspiration, I really like the way Windy not only lets you pick which primary weather forecasting model you use, but allows you to compare the different predictions to one another quickly.

Every time I change my cell this app ask for a payment and I paid because I wanted all features. Now it’s so extreme expensive that I decided I’m done with this app. I think it was around 15 years my favourite app. Sorry it’s done now!

Good App

Very Frustrating 2026
I like the app. The layout is good and the forecasts are solid. But, the intelligence review always says there is heavy cloud. Always. Even when further into the app it says the cloud cover is 3%, intelligence still says to stay indoors due to heavy cloud cover. This piece needs work if this app is to realize it’s strong potential

Developer Response
Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! You're absolutely right — if the cloud cover is showing 3% inside the app but the AI intelligence is still recommending staying indoors due to heavy cloud, that's clearly a bug and not the experience we want for you. We're looking into this and will work to get it fixed. Really appreciate you pointing it out so specifically — it helps us a lot. Hope you get to see some amazing auroras soon! 🌌
