### 5/5 — Gilbertojvalencia

*2026-08-21, version 26.6.12*

anthembook

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-18, version 26.6.12*

Saw on another Aurora FB page there were sightings nearby last night in my state.  Why didn’t I get notified by the app??😖

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-07-14, version 26.6.8*

Really easy to use

### 1/5 — It’s the Gulf of Mexico

*2026-07-10, version 26.6.8*

Really disappointed to see the app call the Gulf of Mexico  the Gulf of America. That is not the name recognized by the globe. Scientific apps should be agnostic of the whims of politicians.

### 5/5 — Northern Lights

*2026-07-08, version 26.6.8*

Not in my area unfortunately

### 5/5 — My Aurora Forecast

*2026-07-06, version 26.6.8*

This is a very good app to use for the Northern Lights

### 5/5 — Must have app

*2026-07-04, version 26.6.8*

Works great and a needed app to understand if you might be able to see the auroras. It’s simple to work

### 4/5 — Great, but…

*2026-07-04, version 26.6.8*

There should be an option to check cloud coverage. I use Ventusky.com, but I would love to have this feature in this app.

### 1/5 — Ads ads ads

*2026-07-04, version 26.6.8*

Way too many ads.

### 5/5 — Get this app

*2026-07-04, version 26.6.8*

I have witness a handful of northern lights because of this app!!!
