Ratings and Reviews
Good app
This is very useful, given the fact that I love to watch the aurora. One thing is that I don’t like how you have to pay to get notified every time the aurora is good in your area. That part is rather annoying.
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.
Waste of money
Told me there was a low chance of seeing aurora consistently despite them being out and bright. Not worth it.
