User Reviews

Users overall praise Aurora Forecast for accurate, customizable alerts, helpful visuals and scientific explanations, and responsive support. The app is easy to use for casual fans and offers deep data for enthusiasts, with a broad forecast/visualization toolkit. However, several recurring issues limit satisfaction: excessive or irrelevant push notifications; intrusive ads and a lack of an ad-free paid option; stability problems including crashes and map updates; reports of misleading malware-like warnings in ads; and requests for features like dark mode and clearer alert frequency controls.

Pros

Accurate notifications that help with photography and viewing timing.
Intuitive, simple UI for casual users and rich astro parameters for enthusiasts, with helpful visuals.
Alerts are free and can be customized across multiple physical parameters.
Fast, responsive customer support via email.
Wide range of forecasts and visualization options; educational explanations of the Sun/light display; inspires interest.

Cons

Alerts are often irrelevant or spammy for the user's location.
Intrusive ads; users want an ad-free paid option.
Stability issues: crashes on startup, maps not updating, and general performance problems.
Ads sometimes trigger malware/phishing warnings, raising security concerns.
Some users find the information too technical or lack a dark mode and unclear alert frequency controls.

Way too many alerts for Auroras that are not in my area. It’s annoying.

After the last update, I opened the app and received a “you phone has been infected with 42 viruses! Scan now!” Warning. Scammers are using the app to scam people out of money!
