User reviews

really useful

perfect for avoiding FOMO… alerts can be a few minutes delayed but good enough to know when it’s getting exciting… would be great if there were timelapses of each night to download (maybe different speeds too like 1 frame per second etc)

Rovianemi Trip December 7-9

A lot of the trackers we downloaded said low chance of seeing the Aurora but the camera feature and alert feature of this app really helped us to see the aurora in Rovianemi and it was accurate, this and the Aurora Reach App are great if u want to find the lights on your own! well worth it!

Super super!

Grazie per questa applicazione! Il ragazzo che l’ha creata veramente carino e gentile! La prima sera a Rovaniemi ci ha permesso di vedere l’aurora avere questa app!
Abbiamo chiesto anche di fare un giro e ci ha portato in un posto meraviglioso, dove abbiamo visto anche l’Aurora rossa! Vale veramente la pena spendere 10 € quando si arriva in loco! Bravo, carino e gentile e app perfetta!

Doesn’t work.

This app has VERY limited locations, if you live anywhere other then a major city It likely won’t work.

Mala experiencia

No sirve la aplicacion, avisa tarde, una noche decia que no iba a haber auroras y decidimos salir igual, fue la mejor noche de mi vida, jamas nos llego la notificación de las auroras, agradezco no haber confiado en la aplicación.
