Ratings and reviews

Phenomenal app! Very clean and easy to use. The guides are very helpful and contain very useful information. The monetization couldn't be any better in Regards to the user experience and is exceptionally fair. I prefer the standard colors, but I'll probably buy a color scheme just to support the creator. No popup adds yet, which I very much appreciate! I'll be testing it in the field soon. There is no doubt in my mind that this app will prove to be a useful source of information.

Tried all the aurora apps I could find. This is hands down the best one, way better than even the one with a million downloads. I may be a noob at my know-how of auroras, but I certainly know good app design, and this one is top-notch! Keep up the good work, and I hope this review helps you net more downloads :)

Detailed app (and free!). The overview is very clear and you can set a manual location. Exactly what I want for an aurora tracking app.
