Issues now *2026-03-20* I’ve used this on my iPad for years. Great app at first. However, since. The government cuts in 2025 it no longer updates its data as frequently which makes it a poor monitor. For example today the SDO images are from 10 days ago.current images are harder to find online than they were, but they are out there. ### 4/5 — Solar pro *2022-04-14* Would even better to update real soho years month day and time just like the iPad version To be honest paid the same price should be the same, Needs a update big DONT even load sometimes Thanks ### 4/5 — Was great. Issues now *2021-02-23* I’ve used this on my iPad for years. Great app. Recently it stopped updating x-ray flux. Bought what I took to be an update but x-rays still not updated. Just went back to it and they are working! Great! This app has a serious amount of information and may take a little getting used to. Good job. ### 4/5 — Love the app; 5 star app... *2021-02-12* I think I should dock a star for every time I have to re-purchase it, however! -1 is proportionally kind, as I have had all 3 iterations now. Would you kindly stop it already? Thanks. ### 4/5 — Falsche Erwartungen... *2021-01-22* Die App mag für Profis in Astronomie toll sein, darum gebe ich auch 4 Sterne. Ich hatte eine falsche Erwartung von dieser App, wollte sie als Warnung vor Sonnenstürmen / einem Blackout nutzen (Prepper), aber als Laie versteht man nur Bahnhof bei dieser App 🤷🏻‍♂️ Lehrgeld bezahlt und Pech gehabt... 😏 ### 4/5 — No more updates? *2020-11-29* This app hasn’t had an update for a couple years now. The X-Ray Flux charts haven’t updated since early March 2020. Apart from that this is a great app that I continue to enjoy. Would give it 5 stars if everything worked and it was maintained. ### 4/5 — Works well but missing features *2018-10-19* Missing a few features. I can pinch a chart to fit it on the screen, but it bounces back when released. It would be nice to have the ability to see some history if available ### 3/5 — Good, if you’re a Scientist *2018-05-28* This is a remarkably in-depth app. It is full of numbers and charts that might be useful to someone who works at NASA or launches satellites for a living, but the average person is better off buying one of the $2 apps since it tells you more USEFUL information. ### 3/5 — Good app, lame price *2018-05-05* Solar Monitor was exactly like Solar Monitor 3. The only difference is that it’s $9.99 now to work with iOS11. That’s seriously lame for customers who bought the original. Clearly, I like the product - but show some loyalty to your customers next time. I won’t buy a Solar Monitor 4. ### 4/5 — Again? I have to buy it again? *2018-02-09* I’d give 5 stars but not for the fact that is had to be repurchased to download and it’s not especially cheap. Other than that, stellar app. Get it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth much if it can never connect *2023-07-10* All we get is the alarm but “no connection” is now the only response when you try to open it. ### 1/5 — Das war es *2023-01-11* Keine Verbindung mehr, keine Funktionen mehr ### 1/5 — Nothing works *2020-12-18* Worked great and now doesn’t work at all and no way to contact the developer. I’ll take my refund now. ### 2/5 — Didn’t get a notification *2021-10-30* There was a Class X1 solar flare yesterday, 28 October, 2021 and I didn’t get a push notification. It would be nice to know if you’re no longer maintaining your app so I can delete it. ### 2/5 — Broken Charts *2020-05-18* Charts have been broken since March 2020. Please fix. ### 2/5 — Not receiving notifications *2019-05-14* Not happy about having to rebuy the app. This version is the same as the last version except this one is not sending push notifications. The reason I purchased the app. ### 2/5 — So far I am not impressed *2019-02-07* I had the SDO app and loved it. The videos were breathtaking. What I miss is the sun spot and CME information and videos. I got a lot data that I don’t need or understand. Maybe the programming is evolving. For $9, I hope so. ### 3/5 — Bewertung *2019-05-18* Tolle informative App , aber es wäre schön, wenn die Push-Benachrichtigungen wieder funktionierten ! ### 3/5 — Great but..... *2018-12-07* App is great but it needs an update to include 193 angstroms filter for the SDO/AIA. Need to see those incoming coronal holes. As of now I have to check other web pages outside the app to see that filter. I bought the app so I could see all my date in one easy place. Sent an email to the developers over a month ago and not even an acknowledgement of receiving and email. Will update review to 5 stars once app is updated. ### 3/5 — Solar monitor 3 *2018-08-30* Bonne application mais très succincte Seul problème, cette dernière a été développée pour les iPhones et pas pour iPad quoique qu’elle fonctionne. Pas de mode paysage ni de courtes séquences vidéo Une mise à jour pour mettre tout cela à niveau 3 ⭐️ pour le moment, plus, plus tard Mrs les développeurs ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank You *2026-06-23* Thank you for fixing the estimated KP Index on my iPad version. You’re awesome. As a HAM radio operator your apps are invaluable for all the solar work we do throughout the day. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-07-23* I have had this App loaded for years it has always been the best. I don’t mind paying for updated versions my philosophy on apps is you get what you pay for. ### 5/5 — Tool *2021-04-29* Fine: many thx for developing and sharing. ### 5/5 — War mal Top *2020-12-09* leider sind die Diagramme nicht mehr aktuell. X-Ray Flux halbes Jahr alt Nachtrag: alles aktuell, Top! ### 5/5 — Professioneller Monitor *2019-05-14* Man findet in dieser App alles was das Herz begehrt, wenn man sich mit der Sonne in Echtzeit auseinandersetzen möchte, ebenfalls toll; die Push Benachrichtigungen für erhöhte X-Ray Strahlung und irdische Magnetfeldstürme.. - Leider leider funktionieren bei mir die Push-Benachrichtigungen nicht, sie sind zwar eingeschaltet, aber auch bei Stürmen etc. Bekomme ich keine Nachricht. Alles in allem das Geld absolut wert und herausragende 5 Sterne ### 5/5 — The Sun *2019-03-01* A Superb App For Anyone Who’s Interested In Astronomy And Our Star The Sun And Space Live Images Of The Sun From The Solar Dynamics Observatory Satellite Observing The Sun In Different Wavelengths More Of The Images Would Be Great Keep Up With Any Updates With The App Makes It Even Better Information About Space weather Is Very Informative Thank You So Much For Adding The Stereo Ahead Image It Would Be Good To View The Sun In White Light Image Can View Sunspots On It’s Surface ### 5/5 — 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 *2018-11-22* Server not working ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-02-17* Excellent for health tracking! Thanx for keeping up. ### 5/5 — Top App auf dem Gebiet *2018-02-10* Ich nutze diese App seit der iPhone 4 Generation, und will sie nicht mehr missen. Danke an den Programmierer 👍 ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2018-02-01* Thanks for putting all these resources in my hand! We live in an amazing time! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
