  • Amazing

    I do not have professional photography skills and was hoping to be able to take a picture of these while I was in Iceland. I downloaded the app and it was so easy to use ! The photo actually came out brighter than what we were able to see from our own eyes. Definitely worth!
  • Fantastic

    Purchased this yesterday evening, our last night in Reykjavik. The sky was so clear so I thought, "give it a go". The results were fantastic!!!

    If you are going anywhere to see the northern or southern lights and are not a serious photographer, this is for you!
  • Loved it!

    Thank you for this app! I could share photos of aurora instantly from my iPhone instead of waiting to go home to download from my camera. Of course we can't expect to have perfect picture that you'd have in a real camera...but it was so good to take the photos in my phone & be able to share it with my friends!

  • Works!

    I have a GoPro 3+ and was sad to learn it doesn't have a night mode (which supposedly takes good Aurora pics according to my tour guide). I was googling and came across someone who said this app worked, I figured $.99 was worth a shot for a once in a lifetime opportunity. And sure enough, jury rigged my GoPro tripod to hold my phone and voila, good (a little grainy but hey it's an iPhone camera not a DSLR) pictures of a very weak light. 5/5 because it turned an iPhone camera with no settings into one that can take pics of the northern lights with the push of a button

  • Don't waste your money!

    I downloaded the app and paid fir it. It doesn't work - all you gat are black photos even when in daylight. How on earth did apple let this rip off an app get published?
  • Used In IceHotel Sweden to Capture Northern Lights

    We travelled to Jukkasjarvi Sweden to the Ice hotel. We had alerts from an aurora app and then used this app to take pictures on the weak setting on my Iphone The greens from the Aurora were amazing the best 79p I've spent by far. We were the only people to capture it on the whole plane and were sharing pics on trip back. If you are thinking its 79p just do it. Normal camera will not pick up the colours it really works.

  • Do not buy this app

    Does nothing. Scam. Want a refund.
  • Worked in the Yukon

    The instructions for using my 'proper' camera in manual meant holding it steady for seconds with no tripod. I got faint traces only. This app at least let me capture some impressive green lights on camera, and if held up to the horizon allowed one to check if there was any activity. (Only worked on 'weak' even when lights overhead).

  • AMAZING! Definitely recommend!

    I thought it would be a little risky to pay for this app incase it didn't work... But the results were amazing and the app is so easy to use! I used the app on a school trip and everyone download this app after they saw the results! I cannot thank this app enough as now I have some amazing pictures of the northern lights! 100% recommend 100% satisfied

  • Not even close

    As mentioned by another review, setting it to weak is the only way to get anything on photos. Even so, the image is so faint, you don't know what you are looking at. I played around with custom settings too to no avail. This is a complete waste of money. Other free apps did a much better job. Do not rely solely on this app. You will be disappointed in failing to capture once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
