My Aurora Forecast & Alerts 4+

I like that even with the free version you can still get notifications for what your preferences are on what kp index’s are expected based on your location and if they may be visible in the next hour, future kp index’s, forecasts really cloud cover % chance is helpful too and to be updated if you have a chance to see them based on your preferences on what minimum kp and higher index.
The Aurora map is interesting to see where the most accurate map possible and reports from people who are currently seeing them and their general location. I just love looking up at the sky and especially LOVE seeing the Aurora Borealis 🥰 So I have used this app for a while now and it’s been worth going out for when I would be notified, or even when I looked at the future forecast and they was a pretty good chance that when we going camping just outside of the Boundary Waters and they were out and we saw that streak of white mist going from west to east and my iPhone 11 was picking up the colors and the misty wider streak was purple with green little streaks going towards the north. I think it’s Steve’s Streak(?), something I saw a couple weeks later about it and I guess it’s rare to see!!! It was a very cool night of shooting star, satellites, and Aurora in the sky …

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.

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.
