Northern Light Aurora Forecast Reviews

by J71s

Once again, like last year, app won’t alert like it’s supposed to. I’ve missed multiple amazing shows that were right over head because there was no alert. Disappointing waste

I can’t say NorthernLightAuroraForecast is not accurate because I don’t know the science of the KP index or any of that stuff so it very well may be doing what it should but It has never alerted me to be able to actually see any auroras. Whenever I have seen auroras out in full view NorthernLightAuroraForecast stays silent

I used NorthernLightAuroraForecast without issue, then I upgraded (paid) for the extended forecast option, now when I try to look at the extended forecast NorthernLightAuroraForecast crashes! I cannot even see the extended/longrange forecast now. This is so frustrating!!!!!
I really like the GUI, but a non working app upgrade is USELESS!
Save your money!!!!!

I updated to iPad OS 14.8 and the “long forecast” started dying 1-5 seconds after I clicked it—kicked all the way out of NorthernLightAuroraForecast . I reinstalled NorthernLightAuroraForecast and now it wants $1.99 again to reenable it. The “restore purchases” button does nothing and the mailbox for support requests on the website … is full. I don’t know if this is a scam or incompetence but the effect is the same for the user.

I paid the $1.99 for more access and I barely have access to other parts if NorthernLightAuroraForecast . They want you to pay more for more access. Also, it looks like NorthernLightAuroraForecast reseted and I have to in put the locations I’m interested on. Terrible. I will not recommended.

Just downloaded this and I’ve tried to select a long-term forecast a couple of times, and when I do, NorthernLightAuroraForecast shuts down. Everything else on it appears to be working for the short term, I purchased the alerts and have yet to see if they’re going to work

NorthernLightAuroraForecast is okay for basic info but to get more forward looking info you have to buy more. I think this is sort of a bait and switch, charge whatever you think is a fair price for the full product and go with that.

It's an ok app, the problem with NorthernLightAuroraForecast is the functionality costs extra. If you want alerts, you have to pay extra, if you want long range forecast, it's extra, anything that is expected from this type of app is sold separate. That's annoying.

What a great app for anyone interested in taking pictures of the Northern Lights, meteor showers, the stars and night sky...really anything in low light conditions or needing to be slowed down or a longer exposure. I live in FBKS AK and just started trying to photograph the Northern Lights this winter using my IPhone 8. Using your app has brought my photos up to a completely different level!!! Being a newbie, I really like your tutorials and suggestions when a new mode is selected but wish there was even more of them...especially when in settings and changing interval time, video options, etc. Now....if I could just magically change the aperture of my phone’s camera and become a professional photographer in the 3-4 months of summer and the Midnight Sun! Definitely worth the few dollars invested when looking at my results and hearing the comments about my pics!

This is a great app, however its developers apparently do not update. It crashed at opening. They’ve made it great again with update. I’m changing to four stars.

Had issues, I reached out and they were fixed. Overall a great app. Thank you for caring about your product

I paid for NorthernLightAuroraForecast but it shows I have zero days left. I sent a message asking for help and got a response telling me to do I’d already done so I replied back that I had. Not a word from them since.
Update: problem was resolved.

Having the Aurora Alert helped me sleep until the Alert sounded. I did not have to constantly watch the Alaska sky, wondering if an aurora sighting was possible. Because of the alert, we were able to watch a wonderful 2+ hour aurora in Southern Alaska In September.

I would say this is a good app to have when traveling threw the Aurora country. I live in Alaska and it does a fairly good job of keeping me up to date on when I need to go out to get my best professional Aurora shots. But some times it’s not really great on accuracy for my location. I recommend a few more options for information on what all the features mean as some of my friends that have got NorthernLightAuroraForecast say it’s a little less user friendly.

NorthernLightAuroraForecast is great for keeping track of the Kp index which I use in conjunction with the “The Disasters Prediction App” for earthquake and dangerous solar energy. Thanks for keeping us posted with the latest updates

New season is here and if you want to catch new awesome Aurora try NorthernLightAuroraForecast. It has all current data and easy navigation.

The long forecast is crashing, is there a fix coming soon?

by MrJime

No complaints! Love the data, just don’t want to be bothered to pay for alerts every 6 months. Just give me a one time charge?
As long as there are no clouds, moon, etc., it’s a reliable app that makes it worth getting up to gaze at worlds greatest site!

I never used the alerts, so no info on that. The cloud cover information as well as the KP info were invaluable on our Alaskan trip. We had KPs of 4 and 5, but with complete cloud cover, no aurora. Rather than walking outside in sub-zero temps, I checked the KP and cloud cover % on NorthernLightAuroraForecast - no reason to go outside if the cloud cover is over 70%. It was highly accurate for my exact location, although I did learn that the aurora doesn’t care what my app says, it shows up when and where it wants.

Although I do not live in an area that will see an Aurura, The information NorthernLightAuroraForecast provides helps me determine when it is safe to go outside. I have been a fan of Nasa for decades and all the information I used to have to go to 6 different places to get is all in one place and I get customized alerts.
