Wow, it's amazing what people will whine about.This is a great time rendered view of the sun under different light spectrums as well as a sun shadowed view of its space emissions. It shows the aurora over the North Pole. What else is there really?Great reference for low banders working DX

The app works nicely. I would like if you could pause and play the videos as well as scrub through them.

The ONLY aurora application to show the forecast in motion, no other app does that, none. Use it daily to see the possibility of the Northern Lights in Alaska, kudos
