Northern Light Aurora Forecast App Reviews

Absolutely love the app. Use it all the time.

Ditto review by araisor. Need info- the numbers don’t make sense

Not sure why this app has low reviews. It helps get the job done with seeing current aurora activity and when we’re seeing it in our location.

Great app; unclear what the second page of kp and what the percents mean in this context

This is my go to app to see what the KP index is looking like, Bz… and what the forecast is looking like. The only minor suggestion is the graphs are really hard to pinch and zoom in on because then you can’t see the axis on the left.

I pay for this app. Will no longer sync to new location. No longer able to add additional locations manually.

I can’t give a meaningful star rating because I don’t, for instance, know at what point a KP index becomes significant. Even a short “How to Use” page would be of great value.

On the long range page, there is a percentage to the right and I can’t determine what that is. If I go to the settings page and click to change my location, there is a different percentage next to a weather icon and I believe that one is telling me cloud cover percentage, but I’m unsure if that is a correct understanding of what that number is. I thought the percentage on the long range page was cloud cover but the value never matches the value in the settings page. Is the percentage on the l

My favorite part of this app is the customizable alert levels, and the visualization of the current auroras.

I started getting notifications from the app that there was a high probability of seeing the Auroras last night. I figured it was unlikely, living in a big city with light pollution. But it was absolutely bright enough to see even in a big city! It I didn't have this app alerting me I probably wouldn't have looked.

I use this app exclusively for aurora info. I was using it just fine over the last few days including today then all of a sudden, it keeps crashing no matter what I do. Whats up with that?

It was working fine until now. Every time I open it, it crashes.

I loved this app so much I paid for the extra features. Then all of a sudden it changed its name from Aurora alert to Northern lights. And I stopped getting alerts on my watch. I try to put it back on my watch and for some reason it will not go back onto my watch which bummed me out. I don’t solely use this app though because sometimes this does not agree with other Aurora apps, but I thought it was a great. It also is not giving me alerts that I paid for on my phone as well.

The app has not been updated in over an entire year, which makes it very outdated. The % on the top of the app for your chances of seeing the aurora are extremely inaccurate. The long term forecast does not predict accurate predictions. This app has the right idea, but desperately needs an update, better design and far better accuracy, even if that means a pay to use subscription service.

The information listed is very informative but if you don’t understand what the data means it doesn’t really help you understand what you’re looking at.

I tried installing the app in the hopes of getting notification to see the Northern Lights. I purchased the lifetime alert but after doing so, the app wouldn’t let me create an account and everytime I do the “restore purchase” option, the app glitches. I tried sending an email for support but even my email server couldn’t send the email message.

I love this app but it keeps crashing, wish I could recommend but I would consider something else. I’m going to have to get a different one because I need one that works.
