I use Ventusky.com, but I would love to have this feature in this app. ### 5/5 — Très utile *2026-07-02* Quel dommage de l’avoir désactivé lors de la nuit du 11 mai 2024. ### 4/5 — Great App *2026-06-27, version 26.6.7* Really great app only thing I would add is a widget ### 5/5 — Aurora *2026-06-27, version 26.6.7* Dude, I saw the lights😳 ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-06-25, version 26.6.7* I love the warning when I might get some Aurora ### 5/5 — On time *2026-06-24, version 26.6.6* Of all the aurora apps that I have used, this one seams to update the quickest ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-24, version 26.6.6* The app has been great for my kids learning about auroras ### 5/5 — So great for Northern Lights lovers *2026-06-08, version 26.6.4* Once a bucket list item of mine, actually witnessing the Northern Lights when they’re visible where I live has become a regular occurrence due to this app. The timely warning is spot on to get me out of my bed and outside to see the lights. I know so little about all the scientific information the app also provides, use it regularly to learn new things about the universe. ### 5/5 — Auroras *2026-06-08, version 26.6.4* I love this app ### 5/5 — All the Auroras I missed before *2026-06-04, version 26.6.4* Friends keep asking, are there more Aurorae than before, which makes me think it’s simply that we MISSED so many opportunities BEFORE this app alerted me to viewings. Thanks for all of these experiences! ### 4/5 — Pretty Good App *2026-06-04* So far this has been a good app, would like to see widgets in a future update. ### 5/5 — 非常好的软件 *2026-06-04, version 26.6.4* 这是一款非常好的软件，为能看到极光提供了很好的参考，谢谢。 ### 3/5 — Not great *2026-06-03, version 26.6.4* A lot of times I see the northern lights with my naked eye and the app says I have 1% chance. ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-05-27, version 26.6.4* We was going to go to Iceland to see the lights , I got an alert a few days after downloading app and seen a great display in Blackpool ### 5/5 — Great way to start my day *2026-05-19, version 26.6.0* I love seeing so many places’ live camera feeds. So beautiful! ### 5/5 — Saw them in my front yard! *2026-05-16, version 26.6.0* Thanks to this app, I was alerted just in time to see the Aurora borealis from my front yard in 2024. It sent me a notification that there was a small % chance it might be visible, and there it was! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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??😖 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-07-04, version 26.6.8* Way too many ads. ### 1/5 — Перестало работать. *2026-05-29* Перестала работать карта полярного сияния. ### 1/5 — Only 1 star *2026-05-04, version 26.4.0* 1 star for the full screen ads. Not gonna use this app anymore ### 1/5 — False alarms *2026-05-01, version 26.4.0* Too many times I go out for hours and nothing happens even though it says I’m in the green or whatever. Location radar needs to be finer. ### 1/5 — La météo *2026-03-21* Satisfaisant ### 1/5 — Sketchy ad pops up not useful *2026-01-16, version 26.1.0* Saw on news that aurora activity might be visible in my area. Went to app tapped on aurora map and add came up saying your apple account will be charged $600+ closed and deleted app. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Not so great for NZ *2025-12-13, version 25.3.0* App is not so great to tell you about them if you live in New Zealand ### 1/5 — Very inaccurate *2025-11-22, version 25.2.2* Told me there was basically no chance of seeing the Aurora. Woke up next morning to a slew of photos from my neighbors seeing them. What a waste of an app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I hope the devs see this. *2026-08-30, version 26.6.12* This app is insanely good and has alot of features, however, since it has so many features i think you should make shortcut actions for the shortcuts app, it can be really useful and a nice add-on for a weather shortcut, Thanks again for the app! ### 5/5 — Love!! *2026-08-28, version 26.6.12* I love this app! It is one of my top favorites!! ### 5/5 — Gilbertojvalencia *2026-08-21, version 26.6.12* anthembook ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-07-14, version 26.6.8* Really easy to use ### 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 ### 5/5 — Get this app *2026-07-04, version 26.6.8* I have witness a handful of northern lights because of this app!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-04, version 26.6.8* Works very well ### 5/5 — My favorite App. *2026-07-03, version 26.6.8* Pretty accurate forecasts. Their information has provided me with hundreds of hours of stunning beauty, I would otherwise slept through. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
