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 check now every day to see what the percentage is. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the wonderful review — we're really happy to hear the app helps you track auroras in your area and enjoy the experience even more.

If it is overnight, what time is correlated to the probability? I’d also love to be able to see the probability over time (like the next 24 hours for my area. Would love these added features and clarification. Thanks! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your valuable feedback.

So don't waste my time saying it's a free app!!! ### 1/5 — Started crashing out of nowhere *2026-03-10* So sad. In Norway now and can’t get the app to stay open ### 1/5 — Bogus notifications *2025-07-05* It just told me I have a 35% chance of seeing an Aurora in the next hour. It is 1 PM and bright sunny conditions. If I can see an Aurora in one hour, it is time for me to make final arrangements and hug my loved ones. Uninstalling this annoying and amateur piece of garbage. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. The issue you mentioned has been resolved in the latest update, and the app now provides much more accurate predictions. We recommend updating and giving it another try — we hope your new experience might change your impression. Thanks again for your support! ### 1/5 — Kindly add widgets please 🙏 *2025-05-05* Kindly add widgets please 🙏 👍🙏🙏🙏 ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-01-08* I thought this app would be great, but instead it consistently gives me notifications of “great viewing opportunities tonight” then when I open it up it’s always like 10-15% chance, which is so low I wouldn’t even bother. So the notifications became a bother themselves. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry for the frustration — the notification logic and forecast thresholds have been improved in our latest update, so alerts are now more accurate and relevant. We recommend updating to the newest version and giving it another try. We hope this makes your experience much better and changes your impression of the app. Thanks again for helping us improve! ### 1/5 — Be careful *2025-01-08* Be careful when installing this app.. it was free for full version on app advice and then it charges you £34.99 and they won’t refund either! ### 1/5 — Cheating app *2025-01-01* I bought this app by mistake and they won’t refund me, and it’s useless app ### 1/5 — I was misled! *2024-12-27* The app offers the option of an internal purchase as a lifetime purchase for $0.00, but when the option to complete with Apple's confirmation appears, there is a charge of US$32.36. I want my money back! **Developer response:** Hi Woollloow, Thank you for your feedback! The Lifetime plan is free during the promotion, but it seems the Yearly plan may have been selected by mistake. Please contact Apple Support for a refund, and we apologize for any confusion caused. ### 1/5 — Cheating *2024-12-27* they charge €39,99 for the lifetime version, though it was promoted for free today? **Developer response:** Hi wellness69, Thanks for the feedback! The free promotion is only for the lifetime plan—please make sure to select that option. ### 1/5 — Support Email Bounces *2024-12-26* I signed up for the free lifetime offer but was charged at yearly rate. Tried to contact support, the email bounced back. Would life a refund and have my account cancelled. **Developer response:** Hi RrrSea, Thank you for your feedback. Please check if the yearly plan was selected instead of the lifetime plan. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to support. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love *2026-07-19* Great for tracking our trips up north. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-06-06* This is so great and very accurate for my location in Utah!
