User Reviews

Hello Aurora is praised for accurate forecasts and rich, well-presented data, plus a strong social/map feature and free access. However, multiple reviews report ongoing reliability bugs after updates, login/registration hurdles, and data gaps for certain areas. Users also want post-event photo uploads, multi-location notifications, and easier sign-in options. Overall, the app is valuable and informative but needs fixes to reliability and location-based features.

Pros

Accurate aurora forecasts and timely updates.
Comprehensive, well-presented data including live solar wind, weather, cloud cover, and temperature.
User-friendly, visually appealing interface that’s easy to use.
Map with community sightings is a standout feature for locating active aurora.
Free app with high value and quality information, often praised over paid alternatives.

Cons

Recurring stability and reliability issues after updates (bugs, crashes, black screen).
Login/registration barriers and errors (can't create account, network failures, blocking sign-in screen).
Data availability and accuracy gaps for some locations (dash or no data, claims of incorrect predictions).
Inability to upload or report sightings after the moment (limited post-event photo sharing).
Limited location customization (single location focus) and requests for multi-location notifications; desire for Apple sign-in as an option.

Recent reviews

I have used this app for several years and liked it but now something has gone wrong. Please look into this! I live in Iceland and am a guide all over Iceland. Last night (this morning sep 6 at 4am) we had wonderful aurora in the capital area but app would NOT allow me to report it or share photos stating none could be visible at this time. Please look into this!

Just another stupid, arrogant developer who requires registration to use the app. The only reason is to collect personal data and sell or give it away!! That means immediate deletion. Fokking fáviti!!!
