SO HELPFUL!!!

This app helped me see the aurora for the first time from my home! I would have missed the show if it wasn’t for the app. Love all the free features!

Neat app! I otherwise relied on family or social media to tell me when aurora was active. This makes it incredibly simple! Very user friendly.
