Pretty good for Aurora tracking

Update- for some reason I keep getting 0% on the phone part of the app but the watch part gives me a higher percentage. Also will not show any readings for around the world as it did before.
I really like this app! I can see how possible having auroras in my area and love tracking them! I wish I had found this app before the ones we had last May. I check now every day to see what the percentage is.
