Having the Aurora Alert helped me sleep until the Alert sounded. I did not have to constantly watch the Alaska sky, wondering if an aurora sighting was possible. Because of the alert, we were able to watch a wonderful 2+ hour aurora in Southern Alaska In September.
Once again, like last year, app won’t alert like it’s supposed to. I’ve missed multiple amazing shows that were right over head because there was no alert. Disappointing waste
I can’t say this app is not accurate because I don’t know the science of the KP index or any of that stuff so it very well may be doing what it should but It has never alerted me to be able to actually see any auroras. Whenever I have seen auroras out in full view the app stays silent
What a great app for anyone interested in taking pictures of the Northern Lights, meteor showers, the stars and night sky...really anything in low light conditions or needing to be slowed down or a longer exposure. I live in FBKS AK and just started trying to photograph the Northern Lights this winter using my IPhone 8. Using your app has brought my photos up to a completely different level!!! Being a newbie, I really like your tutorials and suggestions when a new mode is selected but wish there was even more of them...especially when in settings and changing interval time, video options, etc. Now....if I could just magically change the aperture of my phone’s camera and become a professional photographer in the 3-4 months of summer and the Midnight Sun! Definitely worth the few dollars invested when looking at my results and hearing the comments about my pics!
1. Cannot change main location. 2. Everything is a la carte. Expect to spend more than other apps.
I paid for the app but it shows I have zero days left. I sent a message asking for help and got a response telling me to do I’d already done so I replied back that I had. Not a word from them since. Update: problem was resolved.
The app is okay for basic info but to get more forward looking info you have to buy more. I think this is sort of a bait and switch, charge whatever you think is a fair price for the full product and go with that.
New season is here and if you want to catch new awesome Aurora try this app. It has all current data and easy navigation.
This app is great for keeping track of the Kp index which I use in conjunction with the “The Disasters Prediction App” for earthquake and dangerous solar energy. Thanks for keeping us posted with the latest updates
