  • Doesn’t work.

    This app has VERY limited locations, if you live anywhere other then a major city It likely won’t work.
  • Worked well in Levi, Finland

    During our stay in Levi, we had several cloudy days with no lights. On our last night, the clouds were forecasted to break up late in the evening. To increase our chances to see them, we went on a small tour plus got this app. We were very lucky and saw an amazing display! The app was sending alerts as we were starting to see the lights on several occasions, not afterwards. It also sent an alert at 4:15am that night. We bundled up, went outside and saw another display that lasted 30minutes! We were the only ones out seeing it and would have missed it without this app.

  • Great App!

    I noticed this app did not have a high review and 2 not great reviews so was hesitant to download and pay the 2 day fee.. however I wanted to give myself every possible chance to see the Northern Lights and this is the ONLY app that notified me in real time about the sightings. I saw the lights two nights in a row thanks to this app!!

  • This did not alert for me at all

    9.99 for two days is expensive and should be solid, clear and functional for that kind of money. It did not work for me. Fortunately I did a photo safari with an in the ground professional that allowed me a chance to see the Aurora. This app was behind curve in terms of timely alerting per app time stamp. Additionally I never got an actual alert. Had I not gone out and been sleeping or otherwise busy I would have missed the one chance to see the lights on my trip. I do not suggest this app.

  • Useless - alert when off with no info on what location/direction

    No info comes with alert - useless... can’t tell what location and what direction the sighting was

    Hi, thank you for your feedback even though it wasn't very positive. When the alert arrives, it has the timestamp and the strength mentioned. Northern Lights always appear in the north direction. A mobile compass will be added in to the app with future versions.
  • Not that great

    Was in Lapland last week, had a fantastic time but this app isn’t accurate. It’s good for telling you ‘if the sky is clear you may see the NorthernLights’ but not always good for sending alerts that there is NorthernLights out where you are. Thankfully we were out on activities & did see the NorthernLights twice, the 1st time the app went off was when we were half way through seeing the NorthernLights anyway (so was a little late telling us), the 2nd time we saw the NorthernLights the app didn’t send us an alert.

    Hi! Thank you for your feedback, we'll update our Q&A section on our webpage concerning cases like this. The app will alert again if there are stronger auroras than the previous alert. After 50 minutes, the alert process starts over. We are still glad that you saw the Northern Lights!
  • Can’t login

    The App asked for a login key, but doesn’t give you the option to register/create a login ... bizarre!

    Developer Response

    Hi! Thank you for your feedback, there is clearly a need for more guidance how to get a login key. We'll try to improve this!
