Ratings and reviews

Professinally done, and ethically optimal too. There are no paywalls at all - just a color theme shop if you want to support the developer. Data related to auroras and prediction thereof is presented in a very concise and informative way, and there's an intuitive map of where auroras will happen. 10/10

this is very good app for immigrants , because this app tells a lot about AURURA than any other app I had. you have to use it to watch aurora

Technically imformative + manual location available.
