- long-term northern lights forecast for the next 27 days
- show probability to see Northern Lights based on your or custom location

- weather forecast to check visibility conditions before planning to see northern lights
- solar wind data directly from the NASA satellite (wind speed, Bz, Bt and density)
- unlike many other apps, it uses the local time instead of UTC

Ratings and Reviews
I love the app but need more information
On the long range page, there is a percentage to the right and I can’t determine what that is. If I go to the settings page and click to change my location, there is a different percentage next to a weather icon and I believe that one is telling me cloud cover percentage, but I’m unsure if that is a correct understanding of what that number is. I thought the percentage on the long range page was cloud cover but the value never matches the value in the settings page. Is the percentage on the long range page visibility %? Idk. I can’t find instructions and clicking the values does not bring up an info box to explain.
Just about perfect
What a great app for anyone interested in taking pictures of the Northern Lights, meteor showers, the stars and night sky...really anything in low light conditions or needing to be slowed down or a longer exposure. I live in FBKS AK and just started trying to photograph the Northern Lights this winter using my IPhone 8. Using your app has brought my photos up to a completely different level!!! Being a newbie, I really like your tutorials and suggestions when a new mode is selected but wish there was even more of them...especially when in settings and changing interval time, video options, etc. Now....if I could just magically change the aperture of my phone’s camera and become a professional photographer in the 3-4 months of summer and the Midnight Sun! Definitely worth the few dollars invested when looking at my results and hearing the comments about my pics!
Hoping for some glitch fixes
Hi- I just upgraded to an iPhone 8, with the latest iOS, today. When I tried to open this app to use it, it immediately crashes. I’m disappointed, because I used to use it with my iPhone SE and the previous iOS, with no problems. It has been an extremely useful app, and up until now, I’d have given it 5 stars. Any chance the bugs will be fixed soon? Or that you have a solution? Thank you!
