Really informable app!

This is really informable app and very good structured pro plan!!

if I would be able to say something, I want to have some onborading about how to see each information.

Useful for aurora watchers

Looks interesting, with live forecasts and alerts to help plan when to look for the northern lights. Hopefully the predictions are accurate!

Response from developer

Thanks for trying it! Hope the forecasts help you catch the lights. Clear skies!

Clear and Informative

I like how the app combines aurora forecasts, real-time activity, and cloud coverage to help plan the best time to see the Northern Lights. The visibility predictions and notifications make it much easier to know when it’s worth heading outside.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot! Glad the forecasts and alerts help you know when to head out. Clear skies!

Chase the light

A really useful app for anyone hoping to see the aurora! I like how it combines aurora forecasts, weather conditions, and Kp index information in one place. The ability to check different locations and set custom alerts is especially helpful when planning a trip. The short-term and long-term forecasts are a nice touch too. Great for anyone interested in the Northern Lights!

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed review! I’m glad having the aurora forecast and weather in one place helps, especially for planning a trip with different locations and custom alerts. Clear skies and enjoy the Northern Lights!

Working KP Tracker

The Kp index is working and maps show areas where Northern Lights are expected to be higher. A trending indicator and additional insights, news etc would have helped further.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! 🌌 Happy the Kp index and maps are useful. Trend indicators and more insights are a great idea, and I’ll look into adding them. Clear skies!

New update

Love the new addition for the map !

Response from developer

Thank you so much! Glad you like the new map feature. Good luck hunting for the aurora, and clear skies! 🌌

Response from developer

Проверьте сейчас, все ошибки исправлены и добавлено много других функций

Does not work

Until a few
Months ago this was working well. Suddenly it stopped giving current data for Bz Kp etc. it is virtually useless.

Response from developer

Please update the app to the latest version, and let us know how it works for you. We’ve also made some additional improvements. If everything works well now, we’d be grateful if you could update your review. 🙏

Do not pay for this app

ANOTHER UPDATE:
As of Jun 2026 locations no longer work. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere you cannot see data relevant to your location.

Whomever owns this app couldn’t give a toss as can be seen by not just the lack of maintenance of the app, but also the lack of interest in responding to users who have left bad reviews because the product doesn’t work.
________________

UPDATE:
This app, as of Feb 2025 has become unworthy of a price tag.
Notifications literally don’t function in any productive way. Alerts constantly for conditions clearly not conducive to aurora, and then no alert when conditions are right. Handy for the current oval. That’s about it these days. Don’t part with money for this app.

—————————

Used to be excellent, but in the past year appears to be no longer maintained. Fully paid but the only alerts I get are random, outside the parameters set, and when there is no chance of aurora. No alert comes anymore when there is aurora. Missed a big one last night. No alert. The map has been stuck on daytime for a few days. The whole thing feels like an abandoned ship really. Not sure if this is still a functional app.

Hi, and we’re truly sorry about the downtime during such an important time. We’ve since changed a lot: everything now works stably, and we’ve added many new features, with more coming soon. We’d be grateful if you gave the app another try!

Unreliable. Keeps crashing and will not get alert when you need it

This app did not open for more than 5 days when it was a prime time. It doesn’t even give heads up or anything, if this was maintainence outage, to their paid customer. Such an unacceptable service level. WASTE , don’t trust this app for your once in lifetime opportunities to be missed because of their incapability. If there was -ive star I would have given that
