My Aurora Forecast Pro App Reviews

The aurora map is extremely accurate. Sends notifications and they are correct!

I really do love this app, although I would like to see more metrics available. This app, and many others, seem to be largely KPI-centered. I’m no expert, but it seems there are other (potentially better) indicators I’d love to see included at some point. I’d love really love a widget at some point, so I can add to my Home Screen and see if anything is going on or forecasted when I open my phone. But this would be a 4 star app if not for the notification issues. After a few days of not opening the app I notice that notifications will completely stop. I have checked my device settings and my app settings, and it does not seem to be fixable here. Would love a solution to this so that if there is no activity for a few days, notifs continue when there is activity.

Easy and accurate , reliable, app , it’s a must !

Used this app during Iceland vacation, and it’s alerts we’re right on the money

This app alerted me when I was able to see northern lights in my area. Very informative!!

It is not accurate

So everyone around me is photographing auroras and uploading them to IG and this app says they’re no where near us

I bought the pro version last weekend for an up coming trip. I adjusted the settings to my liking. I was alerted just before 2:00am on Sept 12th that an Aurora sighting was expected in my area. I went outside and found the most amazing display of colors that went on for 2-1/2 hours. I’m very happy with this app.

Great App, it helped me to see and capture the northern light for the first time.

I guess everyone downloaded this app at the same time a few days ago. It was incredibly helpful to figure out when to go out and see the lights.

Useless , totally for giving any kind of prediction, I want my money back!

The app works well to provide an easy to see location for the aurora.

This App is amazing. You get real-time updates on the aurora status. The “forecasts” can be really dicey as we saw ours when it was listed as “moderate” on the forecast. This app is the only reason we saw the Aurora. We got an alert specifically tailored to our exact location. I’m forever grateful for this app!!

This is a great app! You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure this app out. Everything is is very intuitive. The Pro version is nice. It only costs a one time cost of a couple of bucks and you can share the app with one other user. One you understand the legends (every section has explanations) the graphs make sense. After using the app a few times, I had every thing down pat. Plus…… NO ADS!

You need to refactor the cloud coverage into the view ability algorithm. It’s 100% cloudy and the app push alert is saying I should be able to see Auroras. In app to its saying I have a 11-15% chance over the next 30 min. You’d expect an alert with chances greater than 55% or higher. These alerts get my hopes up and then let’s me down. (Aurora KP > 4) + ( Clouds < 60) + (Moon Phase && Location) = (Viewing Probability) Update: This still needs to be fixed.

Should come more resources

While in the UP used the app and it gave us a heads up for a beautiful event with 20 min notice Would have missed it without the app

I was in Iceland, hoping to see aurora’s, but it was very overcast, and I was bummed after a week that I would never see anything. I found this app, and activated the alert system. I got an alarm, saying the odds were good, and I drove to the place they recommended. I saw one nearly instantly. I love this app, it saved my bucket list trip!! The next day, I used the cloud cover part of the app and waited for the KP numbers to peak, and I drove somewhere near me, guided by the app’s cloud cover map. I got to see one again before I left! Love it!!

This app is seriously awesome! My dream trip has always been to go to my ancestral homeland of Norway. I have always had a fascination of world travel and have been fortunate to have seen 39 countries. Norway always alluded me even that it was my #1 choice. I have attempted to get there 4 previous times. Last attempt I was stopped when Norway closed its borders secondary to COVID 19.Now at age 63 I was told by my doctor that I have Cancer and to finish travel. My wife and I got to Norway and I used this app that I bought before Covid. I knew before it was dark that the “hotspot” was directly above us in costal Norway. 3 nights of spectacular sky shows. Buy the app!

This app does not give great data or forecasting information

Thanks to this app, I saw the aurora on the last night in Kiruna.

App doesn’t work well, shows calculating for hours at a time.

Thank and it’s a great way to track the Northern Lights in northern Wisconsin!

Close to this latest version there was some change on the reverse geolocation and the app can’t find some points in Canada (used to choose “Finns, MB” - now the app can’t find it anymore). It could have a fallback where the user could drop a pin on the map to choose as the custom location, but this feature is not yet implemented... can go back to 5 stars with few improvements

Thanks to the real-time notifications from the app, I was able to experience a phenomenal display of dancing auroras right in front my resort in Ivalo, Finland on February 4, 2020!! Thank you Jake!!!

Has been spot on so my wife a I were able to see our very first Aurora.

Can you do? It may be right it may be wrong but who without a PhD can judge?

Our friend downloaded this app on her phone when we vacationed in Norway. It seemed pretty accurate in alerting when we could see the northern lights. I have heard people say the northern lights have been seen in Montana & Wyoming, so I bought the app. No luck in these parts so far. However, I like checking the app frequently. While much of the info on the app is self explanatory, there are some color codes or items I would like explained as to their indication. I may find I have been assuming wrongly all this time. Also, some of the fonts are very small, unable to allow zooming-in and I can only read them by looking through a magnifying glass. 🌌Still hoping for an alert telling me I can see them in my part of the world 😊

You can't use this app with the upgraded Apple Watch 4 watch faces. Big disappointment.

A really practical and easy to use app to determine when and where to see northern lights. Highly recommended.

The % chance/probability of seeing the northern lights isn’t accurate. It says i have a 0% chance of see them at my location even though I’m watching them from my yard. The data is good in the other portions of the app. Easy to find what I’m looking for without searching my noaa bookmarks on my phone.

The Pro $1.99 version is no different from the free version. Save your money.

It’s all BS! Don’t buy! There’s nothing different from the free version!

Aurora Pro looks like it will do the job. All I have to do now is hope that the Sun gets hmmm.…. Jiggy? Is that the right word? With sunspot minimum upon us, I might have to wait a bit.

This is a great app to track the aurora borealis.

Best app period

It's what I needed for my Astro photography. I love that it works with my Apple Watch.

Two thumbs up

This is an awesome App to keep track of the aurora. I am planning a trip Iceland this year 2017 and using this app to track when the lights are visible.

Love the app

Get up to the hour and twelve hour forecasts on your Apple Watch too

Good maps!

I love that it sends me a notification when an aurora might be visible near me!
