Yesterday I tried to see the northern lights and failed. Then I thought: NOAA's data is surely free to use. Idea for an app, something that uses you location to ping you when the 1h forecast is good! This app does that and much more, and I'm glad it offers an add-free pro version. Now if only they could strongly state that no personal data is collected and shared, and only the necessary for the functionality is ever used, this app would be exactly what I'd wished for.

It was great... Used it while vacationing in Alaska and saw the lights twice... Would have been 3 times if I had figured out sooner that my phone was not allowing alerts while do not disturb was on. I added permission for the app to alert anyway, but it didn't work. Not sure if that was my phone or the app. Either way . Very happy. I knew before the hotel staff did.

Does not work Too many times it has said high % too see but nothing. Map shows clouds and its clear outside. Something is very wrong with this app

Good and easy to use app. Features and forecast parameters are also easy to understand.

Updated review: Make sure you set the location to custom if you want viewing probability and cloud coverage data, otherwise it won't show. I do consider this a design flaw, or at least something that could be made clear to the user. It took me some figuring out, as I had it set to "current location", which I find would be more useful, especially when driving around looking for viewing spots. Other than that the app is relatively easy to use & simple in design; decent for tracking the lights.

The best app for hunting the Aurora Borealis,five stars well deserved. The only thing that bothers me is that its using too much battery, likely because of the frequent updates. I dont exactly know if it would be possible to change the refresh rate according to the K index: if its unlikely to be high the next couple of days, there is no need to synchronize the data that often, thus would save the phones battery.
