And I will of course BUY the developer the appropriate amount of coffee upon knowing if the app works as advertised. -zBhuj ### 3/5 — Inaccurate chance of view *2026-04-03, version 26.3.0* This app is great for notifications that there will be an aurora but the rated chance it gives me of seeing the aurora is totally inaccurate. It always says 0% chance of seeing the aurora yet I have seen three spectacular auroras so far. ### 3/5 — You’ll get warnings even if it’s in another country *2026-01-25, version 26.1.1* I have my settings to notify being set to over seven so that I wouldn’t miss the good northern lights, however, it notifies me a literally every time it’s got one going even if it’s on the other side of the world. I wish I thought setting was for your specific area only and not everywhere. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2026-01-20, version 26.1.1* Has all the information needed to be prepared for aurora viewing. Plus get to see beautiful auroras on web cams all over the world. ### 5/5 — Buy them a coffee *2026-01-19, version 26.1.1* Just to know when there’s a chance of seeing the aurora b. Thanks my dudes. Folks. It’s $4. Buy them a coffee. ### 5/5 — Tut, was sie soll *2026-01-19* Funktional, intuitiv, praktisch, mit allen notwendigen Einstellmöglichkeiten und ohne überflüssiges Klimbim ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-01-11, version 26.0.0* Along with compiling and condensing frequently updated data from multiple sources, it provides links to those sources (via the FAQ in the settings) for more detailed explanations of the data, how they are collected, and how to use them. I highly recommend the app for the Aurora-curious and encourage users to “buy (them) a cuppa” to help the developers continue to support such a fun app! ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-01-09, version 26.0.0* I absolutely love this app. I use it in tandem with a few others to track the northern lights and solar activity. I love how it’s easy to use. I love the live streaming cameras. It gives me a chance to see the beautiful lights every night, until I can leave this death trap of a state Virginia and move out of this country ### 5/5 — Wonderful Resource *2025-12-13, version 25.3.0* I travel in the Canadian Northwest Territories in the winters. This app is a great resource for winter travelers like myself who enjoy watching the Aurora. If the lights are active it will tell you where and when you can or cannot see them - without fail. Really fun to use. Don’t travel to this area without the app. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-12-04* Muito bom para verificar niveis de KP e ver quando a Aurora Boreal estará próxima. Se há mais de 30% de chances e o céu estiver limpo, com certeza você verá. Nós (eu e minha esposa) vimos a noite inteira na Islândia e foi mágico. ### 5/5 — Best app for the northern lights ever!! *2025-11-25* This app alerted me when I was able to see northern lights in my state of Rhode Island when there was a big geomagnetic storm. Very informative!! Love the aurora map in the app as well too!! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2025-11-17, version 25.2.1* I’ve had this app for about 2 years now. I love it! It’s definitely work the paid version!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-17, version 25.2.1* Easy to use and accurate. I love that it notifies when it’s time to check outside for activity. ### 2/5 — Notification unreliable *2025-11-16, version 25.2.1* Borealis kp8 was above my head on 11/11/2025 and was bored with my camera bag lock&load. ### 5/5 — Awesome awesome awesome *2025-11-12, version 25.2.1* Just get it, it's good ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-05, version 25.1.0* This app is great if you’re looking to see the Aurora . Not only does it provide you with alerts when there’s a chance of seeing the auroras but also daily forecasts, links to live cam streams and best places at that given time. It also provides you with detailed images of the sun in different spectrums . 10/10 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-27, version 26.6.7* The idea of the app is great however there aren’t a lot of aurora activity in my area - so why does the Aurora Pro app need to know my exact location if auroras in a generalized area??? The app keeps annoying me by popping up, asking me to allow it to know my “precise location” so that it can forecast auroras. Annoying much? I cry b.s. The app only needs to know my general location. It doesn’t need to know specifically where I am. If it’s going to insist on knowing my exact location in order to work, then I’m not going to keep using it. I have a right to my privacy, that includes my exact location. ### 1/5 — ??? *2026-05-29* Программа перестала показывать карту полярности. ### 1/5 — Falsche Werte *2026-02-23* Ich werde immer wieder schreiben das die App nichts bringt. Die Daten springen lustig hoch und runter. Nie Stimmt etwas und im vergleich zu Internetseiten stimmt hier gar nichts. Sonnenwinde sind gut vorhersehbar. Keiner kann nach 15 Minuten sagen, da hat sich für jetzt etwas geändert. Mies! Egal wie oft ihr sie löscht. ### 1/5 — Naja *2026-01-19* Zweimal in Folge kein Alarm bei 100% Polarlichter. Wozu habe ich die App ? ### 1/5 — Gulf of AMERICA? *2025-06-01, version 6.10.5* I’m so, so disappointed in what was an otherwise wonderful app. Can’t believe you’d alter the map based off the ego of a narcissistic sociopath. It’s the Gulf of Mexico. Full stop. Update the map and I’ll update the review. ### 1/5 — 下载失败 *2025-04-17* 下载失败，自定义地点查询失败 ### 1/5 — It is not accurate *2024-10-14, version 6.6.3* It is not accurate ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-10-06, version 6.6.0* The app forecasts 100 percent cloud cover and yet skies are clear and local weather forecast is also for clear skies which means I can’t trust any of the apps data. Too bad. ### 1/5 — Useless predictor *2024-05-11, version 6.5.2* Useless , totally for giving any kind of prediction, I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Sehr enttäuschend *2022-12-10* Die pro Variante gekauft und leider war die nicht genau. War auf den Lofoten unterwegs Eine Spoter Funktion wäre hilfreich ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Northern lights *2026-06-02, version 26.6.4* Nothing is perfect when it comes to forecasting the northern lights, but this app does a great job of giving you a heads up! ### 5/5 — Most Accurate Aurora App *2026-05-12, version 26.5.0* I upgraded to the Pro version of the app because it provides all the information I need to track the aurora. ### 5/5 — Ein guter Überblick *2026-05-07* Die Polarlicht Pro App ist für mich eine richtig starke Hilfe, wenn es um die Beobachtung von Nordlichtern geht. Die Informationen sind übersichtlich dargestellt, gut verständlich und auch für Einsteiger schnell nutzbar. Besonders hilfreich finde ich die aktuellen Werte, Prognosen und Hinweise, mit denen man besser einschätzen kann, ob sich ein Blick nach draußen lohnt. Die App wirkt zuverlässig, klar strukturiert und macht einfach Freude, wenn man sich für Himmel, Natur und besondere Lichtphänomene begeistert. Gerade für Menschen, die Polarlichter nicht nur im hohen Norden, sondern auch gelegentlich in Deutschland beobachten möchten, ist sie ein echter Mehrwert. Von mir eine klare Empfehlung — eine schöne, praktische und motivierende App für alle, die den Himmel im Blick behalten wollen. ### 5/5 — Polarlicht *2026-05-02* Durch die automatische Benachrichtigung konnten tolle Polarlichter sehen ### 5/5 — Top App *2026-05-01* Wurde Mehrfach auf Polarlichter hingewiesen die ich sonst verpasst hätte. Ersetzt natürlich nicht regelmäßiges Nachsehen (Aurora ist halt recht dynamisch) aber man weiß wann und ob es lohnt nachts aufzustehen… ### 5/5 — 👍🏼 One of the best *2026-04-04, version 26.3.0* This app came in handy, so many times. I got some great pictures of the aurora borealis. ### 5/5 — Formidable !!! *2026-02-04* App fantastique qui permet de ne rien rater quand l’occasion se présente 👍. Perso je règle les notifications à partir d’un Kp de 6, et si la météo est de la partie ça peut être génial ! La dernière en date du 19 janvier est montée à 8 Kp j’ai pu faire de magnifiques photos !!! L’app mérite qu’on prenne la version pro. Merci My Aurora Forecast Pro ! ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-02-03* It's a very good app, but…there are not enough forecasts for moonless nights and anticyclones over the regions :) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-21, version 26.1.1* Very easy to use, useful feature, reliable. Strongly recommend! ### 5/5 — Nickel *2026-01-20* Le programme a bien prédit l’arrivée des aurores boréales chez moi en Suisse bien réglé il ne se trompe que rarement Merci encore --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
