As an avid consumer of anything and everything science, especially in the field of astronomy, I truly appreciate this app. I like how pertinent details (of the Sun) which explain how the light display is produced are explained in the discussion section. The dialogue is heavy in detail, but it’s enlightening to read. The graphics depicting where the lights are predicted to display is always helpful. I’m always ready to observe the lights whenever traveling to northern Wisconsin and the app is always ready for action.

Fantastic app with all the important data necessary to catch the northern lights when they’re out. What makes this app different, is that it explains what the data actually means. I have not seen that anywhere else. I highly recommend! The developers are responsive to improvement suggestions, as well. Go get it downloaded, so you can be prepared for next big show!

If you’re like me and got this app so you could be alerted when the Aurora was visible from where you live, then you will be disappointed.For example, it will not be dark here until 3-4 hours from now. Yet, this application has been spamming my notifications for the past hour. It goes on fits where it will spam notifications - never actually at a time when it would be possible to see Aurora from my location. And then when the Aurora IS visible from my location, nothing. I’ve had this app for a year, and live in a location where Aurora is visible a handful of times a year, and this app has never notified me that Aurora is visible. I always find out the next day, in the news.In my opinion, the best way to ensure you are notified is to set-up alerts based on Twitter mentions / keywords.
