Reviews
Not well thought out

The aurora map is good, assuming it's accurate, but the Twitter part is silly. Click on the Twitter icons and you may see references to the mass murder in Aurora, CO. Then when you answer "no, they didn't see the aurora", it's not obvious how to rid the screen of that tweet (touch the 3 white horizontal lines to the right of the tweet). Shouldn't the map reappear as soon as you say "no"? Definitely not for children.
Requires social media acct to log in; also buggy

To sign up for alerts, you must have a Facebook, Google+ or Twitter account. No provision to register just using an email account and password. Also, there are a number of little glitches. One example: when I clicked on a map pin for an aurora tweet, I was unable to then close the information window for that tweet report without closing the app. Another: not all of the map layers seemed to display. Nice potential, needs work.
Love it

User friendly, good features. Recently having a little trouble getting the legend box to go away.
Not functional

Registration errors and map pages won't load. Unless these issues are cause by recent solar flares the App needs improvement.
Disappointed

I immediately got warnings that my iPad was infected and would destroy data in my cloud as well as other devices. I continues reading further to then be rerouted to a survey noting my ISP and my current IP address. This program seems suspicious and I will be deleting. I feel foolish for being duped having already given my email on registration, I will probably get inundated with spam.
Doesn't work on my iPhone

Aurorasaurus is great on a Big Computer (5 stars there). But this App doesn't work on my iPhone. When they are able to get this App working for my phone, I'll raise the number of stars.
