Ratings and reviews

Sad to see an app with so much potential being ruined by incorrect KP readings. Every single source reports KP 2 where I am except for this app which reads 0 for every location in Iceland right now! Was really happy to finally find an app that supported multiple location alerts, which I thought was ridiculous that any other working app didn t, but this issue just renders it completely useless! Asking refund, might rebuy if you fix this issue promptly and in time for my current aurora hunt :)

This app has a tonne of information but my only complaint is that often the maps don't load on my Galaxy s10e - that I'd most likely the phone's fault however, as I need a new one in any event. I would recommend the app if you have a newer phone though!

this is an awesome app with a lot of technical details about the northern lights worldwide! I'm looking forward to using this and learning more about the northern lights.
