  • Doesn’t work

    Doesn’t work. Even tried the recommended settings but still doesn’t work. Just a waste of my money!
  • Good app

    I got just what I expected. I used the app with an iPhone 6 on an inexpensive tripod. I had a remote shutter release but didn’t need it. The app allows you about a second or so then tells you to hold still. Plenty of time to move away. Yes the pics are a little grainy but decent and I was able to use my iPhone!

  • Exactly what you expect - Good (not great) quality photos

    Used this app to capture images of the Northern Lights on a particularly high visibility night. Used a tripod and a remote to take pics so as not to have to touch the phone very much. As long as everything stayed still, the pictures came out quite good. Clearly they are not DSLR or professional-level images and won’t win any photography awards for Northern Lights pictures, but they are MUCH MUCH MUCH better than you’d get from just using your iPhone camera (which I tried, and simply got black).

  • Not as good as the reviews

    I have an iPhone & the normal camera is rubbish when trying to take photos of the NorthernLights so I checked out the apps, this 1 had really good reviews, easy to use & only 99p so I thought brilliant. Oh no it was rubbish!!! Followed the easy instructions but still could get a picture, just darkness. I could see them in the sky but this app wasn’t picking them up, I tried it on all the different strength settings but no joy. Glad my boyfriends phone was getting amazing pictures otherwise I would have been even more p***ed off.

  • If you’re going to Iceland, this is a “must buy”!

    A brilliant app - thank you! Investing £0.99 in this app “rescued” the almost-£1,000 I spent on a holiday package for two to Iceland and the Northern Lights. We have some wonderful photos.

    One request, though - could you please include the option to turn off the “camera click” sound? In pitch dark, in silent countryside, the 8 clicks of the camera operating are deafening! (Maybe I could have switched the phone to “silent”, but my fingers were too cold by that time!)

  • A must for getting pictures of the Northern Lights

    This is the first review I’ve written for an app built felt as though I needed too. This was an excellent purchase for 99p. We were lucky enough to see the lights last night in all their glory and they were spectacular! Without this app I wouldn’t have the amazing pictures I have today to look at! The app was so easy to use and the pictures were excellent! Cannot recommend enough!

  • Absolutely amazing!!

    Bought this before going to Iceland, and was not disappointed, took amazing photos of the northern lights! Much better than using my camera! Well worth the money and would recommend to anybody going to see the lights
  • Amazing value

    If you are in Iceland and planning to see the Northern lights then you need this app! When we were told on our guide that the lights were visible all you could see was grey vapour against the black sky. It didn’t look like how you would imagine it to work green trails high up. By using this app I managed to get great pictures where
    You could see the green lights. I can now show the pictures to family to prove that we saw them!

    Well worth 99p. Only suggestions are that you really have to keep the camera still when you take the picture, a tripod would be ideal but I am not going to use one. Perfect in between solution.

  • Worth it only if you don’t have a real camera

    Honestly, I do not think this app is worth downloading. I tried it out while capturing photos of the northern lights in Iceland recently. It’s slightly better than the normal iPhone camera (which was not picking up any green), but even with the app I could barely see what would be considered “northern lights”. If you don’t have a real camera and this is your last resort, it’s worth it to show the green lights exist, but the photos are not good quality.
