With this app, you'll be seeing the Northern Lights in no time.

Best guide I've found

Reliable, useful but not intrusive notifications, accurate, great maps and % chance if a sighting plus you can see where Aurora is anywhere in world.

Please update time display/time zone

Please can you update the app so that data is displayed in the user's time zone. Or at the very least, put at the top of each page/graph/forecast the current time and the time zone you are using e.g. UTC 19:00. Then it will be obvious to the user. Also I paid for the pro version and chose to let the app have access to my location only whilst using. However the app keeps sending me messages outwith the app asking to see my location all the time. This is annoying me a little. Otherwise I really like the app, keep up the good work :-)

A bit of a ruse but buy anyway

The pro version of the app does not offer any additional functionality— contrary to the other reviews. It is primarily an app for selling tours, but it does have a forecast, maps, and alert functions. On the other hand the data is inconsistent within the app and, in part, inaccurate. For example, while I know the correct KP for the upcoming 36 hours, one graph in the app has it right and the other does not. Conclusion: go ahead and support the developer, it’s a nice app, but be aware of the limitations.
