I'm sorry to hear this. We've fixed several issues and added additional metrics that allow us to send notifications even if some data sources become unreliable - something that did happen during the severe geomagnetic storm in January.

**** 11/6/25 Updating again to 1star because the app is back to never giving me my notifications again!!! It's so irritating. I am counting on the app & it has failed... AGAIN!!*** 8/15/24 Updating to 3 stars for now, because i am getting the notifications, but the map is still not accurate. it isn't difficult to find my location on the map, but it doesn't default to that. I never get notifications and the map is for clear on the other side of the world.

UPDATED: Thank you for your updated review! As of version 1.3.4 the map should centers at your location. Thank you for mentioning this! Feel free to update your comment if you have any more issues, I'll try to address them if you have any more. Once again, thanks for taking your time leaving a review.

This app helped me find a location and nail some epic aurora pictures twice! I had not seen it before prior to using this app because I always went outside too late or it would cloud up just as I went out there. Now I get timely alerts and I can choose the best places to go away from city lights. Thank you!
