Aurora Now - Northern Lights App Reviews

Great app, lots of information provided and probability of seeing auroras. Also need to learn about all the various terms and indices used, in aurora prediction and probability. I use this daily.

Love the view feature, helps significantly when trying to spot the aurora.

Love this app. Best I’ve found so far for tracking Northern Lights.

Still learning how "Speed", "Bz", "Density", "Bt", etc. relate to visible Aurora intensity, but what I do understand works great. App layout is clear and concise. The "3 Day Forecast" and "27 Day Outlook" are vert helpful and I really enjoy the "Map" page. Just wish I understood more of the data in looking at.

The app is very simplistic and easy to use. It helps that you are able to see different information for a specific time just by dragging your finger. Still trying to learn the importance of all given info

Simply awesome app very much cool!!

It took a lot of effort to find out what “Bt” was, by searching websites. Still not sure about it as an alert value because what I found was: it’s the B-angle and that’s optimum in March and September. That can’t be it! We don’t need an alert that it’s March or September!!! Please advise. Thanks.

It’s the best app to let you know when to be ready for the lights

Love the new look!

Maybe I need to get used to it…I really liked having HP quickly available. Update - to refresh I have to swipe away the program and then relaunch it. The HP used to be in bigger text (Hemispheric Power in gigawatts)

New update works and shows the data I was looking for in the app. Showed a good percent of chance last night and sure enough we had a great show! Thanks for the update. We have missed plenty of showings using this app. The app has never been over 0 chance since using it for several years yet you go outside and the sky is filled with the Northern lights. Only thing good about the app is an easy way to see some atmospheric metrics and such. Don’t count on it for predictions!

Just real Time alert of probability- not activity

I have been using this app for years In hopes of seeing the Northern Light. And it paid off last night, May 10, 2024. The app is a work of art. Beautifully designed, and loaded with information. Nevertheless it is accessible to all irrespective the one’s science background. If nothing else it will at least let you know when to look.

Fun app. Thank you

We used the app to watch locations in my area when we should head out looking. I set alerts which work great!! Got pictures in Illinois last night!!!!! 🥰

This is a very useful little tool if you have an interest in seeing the aurora. I highly recommend it!

Because of this app we cancelled our trip to Iceland since it predicted Kp 2 to 3 during our dates. How disappointed we were that suddenly it gave us Kp 6 after we cancelled everything two days before. But the most disappointment was to see two graphs of 3 days and 27 days one above the other with two contradictions for the same night!

Not bad at $9/yr but NOAA is free

I live in Minnesota and roughly the middle of the state. We see the lights from time to time during strong, solar events. They can push down to the midpoint of Minnesota. I have seen them three times since getting this app, but not because the app helped. when I seen the lights, I’ve opened the app and it says my chances of seeing the lights or 0%, this app is last updated four years ago, maybe a new update and tweaking are in order? Good idea, poor function.
