User Reviews

Users appreciate the app for its rich aurora data and customizable alerts, plus a clean UI. However, it suffers from stability issues, data accuracy and clarity problems, infrequent updates, location-management limitations, and purchase/support problems. Overall, the concept and UI are strong, but reliability and ongoing maintenance need attention.

Pros

Rich aurora data including KP index, Bz, horizon/above probability, and forecasts.
Customizable alerts and notifications.
Intuitive UI and helpful visualizations of current auroras.
Affordable lifetime subscription provides good value.

Cons

Crashes and stability issues (app closes or won't stay open).
Data accuracy and clarity problems (cloud cover often wrong; percentages unclear).
Lack of updates/maintenance (not updated for long periods).
Location management issues (only current location by default; difficulty adding locations).
Purchase/subscription problems and limited support.

This app used to be pretty accurate and was great. The past 6 months or so it has become extremely inaccurate. Currently shows my cloud cover 10% but it is 85-90%. Horizon 32% but absolutely nothing. Everything is extremely off. This app needs seriously worked on or it’s going to lose most of its users. I’ll check back occasionally to see if the issues are corrected because I used to love the app. However, in its current state, I’ll be using a different northern lights app.

The KP rating is almost always at zero ever when I'm looking at the lights. The horizon/above probability is actually pretty accurate but the cloud cover is always wrong. At it's core it's a actually good app but it's covered up with a buggy software surrounded by microtrasactions. But you don't have to get them if you don't want alerts but the app is literally called AuroraAlerts. Overall not terrible but definitely could use some fixing up
