Pros and cons of Aurora Forecast. app for iPhone and iPad

Aurora Forecast. app good for

I decided to buy the app to support development, but Id really like to see the animated aurora forecast in the app. I think its on your website.

Thorough, well organized, and easy to understand. Great graphic representation of aurora borealis in real time.

I really like the UI of this app and appears to be accurate. The only downfall for this is app thats killing me is the notifications seem to be nonexistent. Ive checked, everything is on and active yet I havent had one. Im not checking this app often, so when I wake up and hear about the spectacular show its a bummer I missed it. Hope an update is on the horizon.

Perfect App! Developers are working continuously on this App regarding bugfixing and improvements. I also bought the in-app push notification wich is pretty nice! No issues so far.

Great update! It is one of the best functional and informative apps for aurora forecasts and nowcasts. Its clear structured, gives many scientific data and has a nice graphical map showing the aurora oval over the whole world! Thanks!

This app is the best you can get if you want to go Aurora hunting. Im using it for two years and its maintained regularly. Top, please continue the good work.

Some bad moments

I was loving this app. I got a notification for a KP 5 and I realized I could t open it because it kept crashing. Uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it keeps crashing. I never had a problem with it since today.

Dont work since the last update on my iPhone 4. Impossible to go un the menu.....

Even though the app is free but if anyone needs alert they need to pay extra. Not happy with that one and app needs some more improvements.

The app gives great information, but the push notification is absolutely useless! It constantly sends you notifications even though the actual intensity on earth is insignificantly low! Solar Monitor seams, even though more expensive, seems to be the better choice, if you want push notifications that works properly.

Not very useful app. Long term forecast seems to be more or less ok but short term notifications are not worth the money as they are completely inaccurate and do not match the forecast issued by the Geophysical Institute Fairbanks. Check their website - way more accurate and free of charge!

This app should use the iPhones localization services to trigger alerts. Right now sends out alerts i.e. "for North America"... Yup, that is useless!! If it correctly displays my coordinates in the Map View, it should only send me alerts according to my geolocalization, I could not care less for "North America"... Also, it should compute dawn and dusk times according to localization. I do not like the current bunch of alerts at daylight, they are useless unless auroras are visible at daylight, which is rarely seen. Only one daylight forecast alert for that night if relevant for my localization will be enough.
