Ratings and Reviews
Useful and straightforward app
I used this app while planning, and then enjoying, a trip through Iceland. It is a well-done app that is nicely laid out in a straightforward manner. I got the pro version just to get rid of the ads. I got value from using the app so that was worth it. Overall the app was of good use while in the wilderness in predicting the aurora most days. My only qualm is one night I was in the middle of Thingvellir national park late at night, with 100% cloud cover and no aurora in sight. The app alerted and also had a high KP forecast and showed no cloud cover in my location. IMO That’s no fault of the app, though, because the aurora and weather) are elusive. It’s just to say don’t rely 100% on the accuracy of the app. Before my trip I looked at a few apps and this was one was the best and least complicated of all.
Great
Edit: never mind! I found how to change location. I’m happy now haha. It was a bit hard to find quickly for some reason. It’s not where that function usually is on most apps.
Previous review: This seems like a great app but I wish there was a way to change the location. I live in Indiana so I don’t expect to see any auroras here. Therefore most of the functions of the app are useless to me because they forecast auroras based on the phone’s location. Why not give the ability to see forecasts in another location, or multiple locations, like any weather app? I want to see when auroras will be visible in Michigan so that I can plan on when to go. I don’t want to have to drive to Michigan just to get a forecast there. Thanks.
Aurora App is Ethereal!!
I live in Alaska, with easy access to the Aurora Borealis, the catch is that I live in Anchorage which has light pollution. So with the App, I check the forecast, KP index and other factors that help me plan of my Aurora watching nights. It’s pretty accurate, even with my local weather, conditions & cloud cover info, hour by hour. Even the weather forecaster up here doesn’t come close to getting our weather right. I find other local Aurora watchers post the app’s forecast to notify other watchers-Plus the Aurora gallery from around the world is spectacular 🤩
