Had this app for years and very recently there was a massive aurora storm visible in Scotland and the app didn't even show 0.1% chance if it. Just delete it
Very useful
Weirdly, unlike every other visual aid that uses the traffic light system to show Green as 'good' and Red as 'bad', this app uses Green for 'bad, you are not going to see the northern lights' and Red for 'good, you might see the northern lights'. Coupled with black text on a red back ground (hard to read even when not colour blind, use white on red), limited functionality, 'image not loading errors' on the graphs and broken links on 'UK sighting places', I immediately uninstalled it...
Had this app for a few years and although used to be good it now consistently sends an alert an hour or more after the event...not much use to aurora watchers! The app hasnt been updated in nearly 4 years also.The hemisphere map image never displays. Fortunately theres the Telegram group, SWPC.NOAA and far better apps to rely on.
Generally good, but why does the global picture not show any more? Over the last month or so, I can't see the global view on the last page. That was helpful as it gave an indication of strength and location. Please fix it!
Excellent App, the notifications and forecasting works well if combined with good weather and patience.
Alerts come in a little late sometimes but I know there is a bigger issue with this beyond their control. however in recent weeks I have stopped getting the global picture at the end of the display
Not had a notification in ages then saw in the description that notifications are not guaranteed because of Google limits on free notifications. Either make a paid for option or don't offer notifications, it's no use to in effect say users 'might' get a notification.
Suddenly won't open uninstalled and reinstalled. HTC U11 pro. Android 9 Tried again. Now working as before. ???
No wont open
