Hate the new format

I used to love this app. But since a couple updates ago, I now find it worthless. I miss the short and long term forecast charts and hourly timing. I used to use this app all over the world but not any more.

Payant…

J’ai l’application depuis plusieurs années gratuitement, et voila que tout a coup elle deviens exclusivement payante… byebye!

Response from developer

Nous sommes sincèrement désolés pour cette déception. Sachez que l'application n'est pas exclusivement payante : nous continuons à proposer des fonctionnalités gratuites. Nous travaillons d'arrache-pied pour améliorer nos services. Merci pour votre fidélité durant toutes ces années.

New cell and again a payment

Every time I change my cell this app ask for a payment and I paid because I wanted all features. Now it’s so extreme expensive that I decided I’m done with this app. I think it was around 15 years my favourite app. Sorry it’s done now!

Response from developer

Dear valued customer, Thank you sincerely for your loyalty and continued support over the past 15 years. It means a great deal to us. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced. The repeated payment requests triggered when changing your cell is the result of a bug in our system, and is in no way an intended feature. We take full responsibility and are currently investigating the issue as our highest priority. A fix will be deployed as soon as possible. We sincerely hope you will allow us the opportunity to resolve this matter. Your trust and satisfaction are of the utmost importance to us, and we would be deeply sorry to lose a valued member of our community after so many years together.

Unable to get widgets to display or AI

While I have a full year subscription I can’t get the widgets to display. All widget say a subscription is needed. I also can’t get the AI feature to work. I have an iPhone 17 pro max that fully supports this feature but I still can’t get it.

This is a handsome application but the lack of direct communication is causing a problem

I have not found a way to contact the author so I’m posting the problem here.

Thank you for your feedback — you raise a great point about the lack of a direct contact option, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I'm currently looking into the widget and AI feature issues you described, and will release an update to fix them as soon as possible. I'll also be adding a "Contact Us" button within the app so you can reach me directly in the future. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me at support@tinacinc.com so I can help resolve your issue right away. Thank you for your patience and support!

Die Wolken sind bewölkt

Ja, die Wolken sind bewölkt - der lieblingssatz der App, auch wenn klarer Himmel ist - auch die 30 Minuten Vorhersage scheint nur ein nichtfunktionierendes Bild zu sein - Gottseidank wurde mir das Geld zurückerstattet von ITunes
Nicht empfehlenswert

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Die 30-Minuten-Vorhersage wurde bereits in einem Update behoben. Die fehlerhafte Anzeige "bewölkt" scheint auf einen Bug in Apple Intelligence zurückzuführen zu sein, bei dem immer dieselbe Antwort zurückgegeben wird. Wir arbeiten bereits an einem Update, das dieses Problem umgeht. Wir bitten um Ihre Geduld und hoffen, Sie bald wieder von unserer App überzeugen zu können.

Good App

I like the app. The layout is good and the forecasts are solid. But, the intelligence review always says there is heavy cloud. Always. Even when further into the app it says the cloud cover is 3%, intelligence still says to stay indoors due to heavy cloud cover. This piece needs work if this app is to realize it’s strong potential

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! You're absolutely right — if the cloud cover is showing 3% inside the app but the AI intelligence is still recommending staying indoors due to heavy cloud, that's clearly a bug and not the experience we want for you. We're looking into this and will work to get it fixed. Really appreciate you pointing it out so specifically — it helps us a lot. Hope you get to see some amazing auroras soon! 🌌

Not Happy with the update!!!

Do not update to the new version, you will lose the long term forecast! WHY DID YOU DELETE THAT???

Top

Viel besser als vorher da lohnt sich auch die Pro Version

New upate, more $$ ??nope deleted, unsub

App was okay prior to the update. 4/5. Disappointed to see the new update immediately after I paid for my year. Now there’s locked settings. Will not use. Deleted and unsubscribed. Wish I’d known before resubscribing for the year. Not my fave app but was happy to support the data. Not anymore.

Oh, no! Not AI !

New version touts all kinds of AI features but it still thought I lived in Nome, Alaska. If it can’t figure out where I am, what’s the likelihood of it being accurate in its forecast? They’ve taken what was a fine app and ruined it with AI just for marketing value, then nag you to subscribe to it.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear that the recent update has been disappointing. Please know that the location error is a bug we are actively working to iron out right now. It is definitely not the experience we want for our users. We also value your feedback on the AI and marketing approach; we’ll be discussing this internally to ensure the app remains helpful and user-friendly. We hope to win you back once the fix is live.

Keine Benachrichtigung

Sehr enttäuschend : der größte sonnensturm seit 20 Jahren und die App gibt keine Benachrichtigung raus obwohl die Einstellungen richtig waren . Sehr schade . Das Geld für die App ist wohl komplett umsonst .

Map never loads

I’ve downloaded this app several months ago, but despite receiving alerts
and clicking on them, I’ve never had the viewing map load. The “wheel” spins endlessly, asking for patience, but nothing ever loads.

Northern lights?!

Always defaults to northern lights. I live in the southern hemisphere so the app is pretty useless to me (and basically half of the planet). Maybe add an option that doesn’t default to the northern hemisphere and you might get a few more paying customers.

Doesn’t Work

I have a picture of the northern lights and the app says zero chance of seeing them… I’m in UK and it is unique to see them… it’s all over the news but the app says zero probability!

👍🏼

Really good 💗

Won’t delete

I have tried to delete this app multiple times and the next morning it’s back on my Home Screen

Free trial not so free

Tried the free trial and cancelled immediately, but was still charged for a year subscription. No way to contact anyone to resolve.

Excellent app

Excellent app with nice graphs

One question - why in the Aurora Forecast page charts the time is not defined - is it local time at location or UT?

Don’t work

I was just outside watching a beautiful show of the aurora and pulled up this app to see how strong it was. The app says 0% chance of viewing in my area and the map shows it’s way north of me. Uninstalling

Worthless

This always says 0 chance, even when i am viewing the most i credible lights ever.
