Problemas continuos

No salen imágenes , no coge localización ! Cada día va peor esta aplicación

Wenn es funktionieren würde

Funktioniert nicht. Vollkommen egal welche Gegend man auswählt und welchen Umkreis. Man bekommt ständig Alarm aus Norwegen. Dafür wird man bei Alarm aus der direkten Umgebung nicht alarmiert. Sondern bekommt nur eine Nachricht. Ich werde wieder kündigen.

Edit: just let people use the app without an account with just reading access.

Response from developer

That is correct. To ensure the safety and quality of our community, we require users to create an account. In the past, we have found it difficult to monitor the platform effectively without this requirement, leading to instances of inappropriate content. Requiring an account helps us maintain a positive, high-quality experience for all aurora chasers.

Please fix

I have used this app for several years and liked it but now something has gone wrong.
Please look into this!
I live in Iceland and am a guide all over Iceland. Last night (this morning sep 6 at 4am) we had wonderful aurora in the capital area but app would NOT allow me to report it or share photos stating none could be visible at this time. Please look into this!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for using the app over the years, I’m really glad to hear you’ve enjoyed it! I’m sorry you weren’t able to report your aurora sighting. The report feature is based on probability calculations, and since your sighting happened at an unusual time, it may have slipped through the system. I have checked the activity during the date and time you mentioned, the aurora oval passed at 03:30 am and the activity was weak which could be the reason why it won't allow you to report it. I have been thinking about the possibility and we have had non-aurora photo reported in the early morning in the past while I aim to make the calculations as accurate as possible, there can occasionally be small gaps. I’ve already made a little tweak to improve this, and I truly appreciate your feedback and support. I’d be grateful if you could consider updating your review, and I look forward to seeing more of your aurora reports in the app! And do not to reach out to me at contact@hello-aurora.com if you encounter any issue. I would be more than happy to hear from you. Wish you best best aurora season ahead!

Best aurora app out there

Beautyfully designed app. As a suggestion, when there are two or more moments in the same location you can’t click to see the photos taken in the map view.
