User reviews

Отлично 👍

Интерфейс приятный, легко понять, как пользоваться. Если что-то непонятно, есть ненавязчивый вопросительный знак с комментариями. Ни подписок, ни рекламы, бесплатное (!), хотя я бы и заплатил за такую годноту. Внутри есть что почитать интересного. Разработчик заморочился с виджетами, а это именно то, что мне, «сильному метеозависимому мужчине», надо.

Но есть одна проблема: 12 октября во второй половине дня приложение не работало, и виджет на заблокированном экране не отображает информацию. Устройство - iPhone 15 Pro Max, последняя версия iOS. Надеюсь, это временный сбой.

Спасибо разработчику за труд! Желаю успехов и развития проекту.

Может быть имеет смысл сделать бесплатным на месяц попользоваться , а потом уже, если пользователю будет надо, то купить?🤔

Stale app

The latest data that the app displays goes back to Sep. 5, 2018. It does not update!

Bugs???!!!

Upon opening the app I’m told it must be connected to the internet. I checked repeatedly; I AM connected to the internet. What’s up?

Does Solar Weather offer storm forecasts?

Yes, Solar Weather provides 24-hour and 27-day geomagnetic forecasts sourced from NOAA. This helps users anticipate upcoming magnetic storms that could affect health, electronics, or aurora viewing.

How does Solar Weather handle moon phases?

Solar Weather features an interactive monthly calendar displaying the moon phase for each day. Users can tap any date to see lunar day details, illumination percentage, and days until the next full or new moon.

Can I get alerts from Solar Weather?

Solar Weather offers 11 types of configurable push notifications, including alerts for magnetosphere excitation (Kp 2-3), magnetic storms (Kp 4+), severe storm warnings (Kp 7+), and full/new moon notifications.
