## Description

Northern Light Aurora Forecast monitors real-time auroral activity and pushes alerts when the Northern Lights may be visible tonight. It works whether you're at home or traveling, notifying you of potential visibility for any location.

Key features include short-term hourly forecasts with weather and moon illumination; long-term 3-day and 27-day forecasts; location-based probability of seeing the Northern Lights; current auroral activity derived from KP indices; solar wind data from NASA satellites; and a local-time display (not UTC) with customizable alerts by location, KP thresholds, solar wind values, or time of day.

## Review summary

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.
