My Aurora Forecast & Alerts Positive Reviews
The best aurora app there is!I have never witnessed the aurora before. After getting this app, I’ve seen them 4 times in the last year, and more to come. The alerts it gives helps me know when they’re coming before everyone posts them on Facebook. The probability map and cloud map are some of the best features they have! The probability map is color coded for quick identification of how likely you are to see the lights, and the cloud map is great for when you can’t see outside just yet but want to know if it’s worth going out in the cold. I wish they could work with NOAA or whoever else they need to to create a cloud prediction map, so rather than just real time it would show when the clouds would clear up or come in to give you the best viewing window possible. It would be great for people prepping for the night time. Also the links they offer to northern lights chasing trips are phenomenal. Currently saving to take the spouse on a vacation. The wide variety of locations and all for great prices make for an amazing selection. Honestly this is a very well put together app, and I would recommend this app to anyone who has even the slightest interest in viewing the aurora, or even people who have no interest because they might have some interest after hearing about it. Thank you developers for all you do, and for helping more people see God’s beautiful art in the sky!.Version: 6.6.1
Pretty Dang Accurate- Cool FeaturesI like that even with the free version you can still get notifications for what your preferences are on what kp index’s are expected based on your location and if they may be visible in the next hour, future kp index’s, forecasts really cloud cover % chance is helpful too and to be updated if you have a chance to see them based on your preferences on what minimum kp and higher index. The Aurora map is interesting to see where the most accurate map possible and reports from people who are currently seeing them and their general location. I just love looking up at the sky and especially LOVE seeing the Aurora Borealis 🥰 So I have used this app for a while now and it’s been worth going out for when I would be notified, or even when I looked at the future forecast and they was a pretty good chance that when we going camping just outside of the Boundary Waters and they were out and we saw that streak of white mist going from west to east and my iPhone 11 was picking up the colors and the misty wider streak was purple with green little streaks going towards the north. I think it’s Steve’s Streak(?), something I saw a couple weeks later about it and I guess it’s rare to see!!! It was a very cool night of shooting star, satellites, and Aurora in the sky ….Version: 6.5.11
Useful and straightforward appI used this app while planning, and then enjoying, a trip through Iceland. It is a well-done app that is nicely laid out in a straightforward manner. I got the pro version just to get rid of the ads. I got value from using the app so that was worth it. Overall the app was of good use while in the wilderness in predicting the aurora most days. My only qualm is one night I was in the middle of Thingvellir national park late at night, with 100% cloud cover and no aurora in sight. The app alerted and also had a high KP forecast and showed no cloud cover in my location. IMO That’s no fault of the app, though, because the aurora and weather) are elusive. It’s just to say don’t rely 100% on the accuracy of the app. Before my trip I looked at a few apps and this was one was the best and least complicated of all..Version: 6.3.5
GreatEdit: never mind! I found how to change location. I’m happy now haha. It was a bit hard to find quickly for some reason. It’s not where that function usually is on most apps. Previous review: This seems like a great app but I wish there was a way to change the location. I live in Indiana so I don’t expect to see any auroras here. Therefore most of the functions of the app are useless to me because they forecast auroras based on the phone’s location. Why not give the ability to see forecasts in another location, or multiple locations, like any weather app? I want to see when auroras will be visible in Michigan so that I can plan on when to go. I don’t want to have to drive to Michigan just to get a forecast there. Thanks..Version: 2.1.0
LOVE THIS APPThis is seriously a fantastic app. The people who made it rock. It has some flaws that I’m not going to bother mentioning, because this freaking app is free, and the flaws don’t ruin the incredible experience. It NOTIFIES ME when I might be able to see the Aurora!!!! It LITERALLY TELLS ME when to run outside and potentially check this event off my bucket list. And then put it back on because I can’t get enough. It helps figure out where to go. Cloud coverage. Approximate times of the solar storm. Approx location of the storm. It has been insanely helpful for me thus far. You can change your location to get updates there if you are planning a trip or something. Etc etc etc..Version: 6.6.3
Aurora App is Ethereal!!I live in Alaska, with easy access to the Aurora Borealis, the catch is that I live in Anchorage which has light pollution. So with the App, I check the forecast, KP index and other factors that help me plan of my Aurora watching nights. It’s pretty accurate, even with my local weather, conditions & cloud cover info, hour by hour. Even the weather forecaster up here doesn’t come close to getting our weather right. I find other local Aurora watchers post the app’s forecast to notify other watchers-Plus the Aurora gallery from around the world is spectacular 🤩.Version: 5.1.2
Accurate, no subscription requiredI love this app. I’ve had it for a few years it’s very accurate and it never disappoints. I love getting the timely notifications, percent chance of seeing auroras based on location, cloud coverage, and pin drops for where people are seeing them. I really love that it’s truly free and there is no subscription required in addition to nearly zero annoying ads, only a banner at the bottom. I hope this app stays subscription free with minimal ads..Version: 6.6.1
Best App To Be Informed About The Northern LightsThis is the best aurora app for northern lights that I have ever found!! Would highly recommend this to anyone who hasn’t seen the northern lights that would want to stay informed if they’re able to see it in their location!! This app kept me informed & did a fantastic job of alerting me when I was able to see the northern lights in my area!! I really love the probability map to see if your area is covered when the northern lights are viewable!! Definitely keeping this app!!.Version: 6.6.3
Auroras R coolSo basically on Friday the 10th I just got told that a massive Solar Storm was going to hit Earth and that in my area there would be a good chance of seeing the Auroras. When I downloaded the app I got told what the KP index was and to see when it was best to go out. Well when it was time I took my chance to see it with my friend and…WOW it was amazing. Thanks to the app I knew when it was best to see it. Just a little heads up.. the area I live in doesn’t get the Auroras. So I would definitely give this 5 stars..Version: 6.5.3
It would be perfect but...It would be awesome if they could add a section where people could post sightings/locations near you, I am imagining that in the app you could set it to show sightings within a certain radius of your location, this would be really helpful for nights in place like Minnesota(northern US) where it is not too often that we can see the AB, and so we can be sure that there are sightings tonight that would make some of the less risk takers among us to be assured that we could see them on that night..Version: 1.7.1
Love itI, unfortunately, live in Southern California so I'm not able to see the aurora in person, but I am an aurora live cam junkie. This app is super useful in letting me know where the best places to tune in from are, how active I can expect the aurora to be in the coming days, and it alerts me to auroras in the place I've set as home. I wish I could set multiple places for alerts, but the 'find best places to watch' function is nearly as good. If you're an aurora borealis lover and dreamer, this app is necessary..Version: 1.7.1
Nice app but had to deduct 1 starThe app is one of those rare apps that is both useful and easy to use. Unfortunately on one of its biggest nights, it let us down. I actually saw a major Aurora in WA state during the May 11, 2024 solar storm so I reported the sighting. The report never was used apparently because despite the aurora being seen my millions in the US last night it only showed straight lines of sighting pins in Canada. So something is definitely NOT working right with that feature!.Version: 6.5.3
Notified of AuroraSeeing the aurora in person has been a dream of mine and ever since moving to Nebraska from Arizona I’d hoped to see them. A few years with no luck I was sitting at home and a notification came through that auroras were likely visible in my area. I rushed outside and was greeted by red green and magenta lights streaking across the sky. I would have gone to bed and missed them. Thank you for making such a wonderful application..Version: 6.5.3
AuroraThe Aurora app is a fun, informative offering that allows those lacking the meteorology gene easily to keep a finger on the pulse of the northern night skies. It’s great shortcoming, however, is that it operates almost totally in the “now.” For example at mid-day in my locale it is not surprising to learn that there is no possibility whatsoever of enjoying the northern lights. (I don’t need an app to tell me that!). What would be most useful would be if it Aurora projected into the future, so that it might give me some idea at noon as to whether a later, 3:00 a.m. trek into the back yard might be fruitful..Version: 2.0.7
Worked perfectly for usWe specifically came to iceland to see the northern lights. We had no luck on a bus trip or on a boat cruise. I downloaded this app. When in Reykoldt in West Iceland, I received an alert that there was a high likelihood they would be visible in an hour. The forecast was spot on. Visibility started at the time predicted and ended due to cloud coverage 30 minutes later. Our entire tour group cheered and I was the heroine who allowed it to happen thanks to Aurora..Version: 1.8.2
A must for Aurora huntersI used this app on my trip to the north and it was amazing. I was checking it every night to see how the lights are going, and set it up to notify me if it’s expected within an hour in my location. When it did I set out with my rented car to darker locations and had an amazing show in the sky. Thank you Aurora app and its creators for making this a fascinating experience 🙏❤️..Version: 6.4.2
Awesome mapsI go to this app whenever I hear there has been solar activity and a chance to see the northern lights. We live in a big city so the chance to see them is low. The maps are very specific and really show where the lights can be seen. I really enjoy having the app and I’m hoping for the day when the maps show we have a good chance to see the lights..Version: 6.4.2
A fun and useful appI used his app pretty extensively during my recent visit to Iceland and successfully saw the Lights on two nights. I enjoyed referencing it as part of my hunting strategy. My only complaint, and why I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is the lack of instruction/explanation offered through the program. I conducted my own search to understand what I was reading. I would use again if the opportunity arose to see the Aurora..Version: 2.0.3
Love this app!!I found this app a few years ago and it is so easy to navigate and has a lot of information. The information is very helpful! I’m just a person that would love to see the lady but I probably wouldn’t, but I can get excited about them and cheer for others in their search for Aurora I would definitely recommend this app!.Version: 6.3.10
Amazing!We were in Iceland for three nights and really wanted to see the northern lights. This app was SPOT ON with the best places to view and the viewing times. The first day, it said we had a 3% chance. The second day it said 50% so we drove to the town mentioned on the app and sure enough were were able to see the lights and they put on an amazing show for us..Version: 5.1.12
Best Aurora Chaser Tool I’ve FoundThis app seems to cover all the bases. It tracks the aurora worldwide in real time. It shows how close it is for great shots. It gives a person predictions on cloud cover and visibility. I love the notification: “If the sky is clear, you might be able to see aurora within the next hour.” I had great success for the timing of some awesome photos!.Version: 5.2.0
I’d never had seen them if it weren’t for this app!My heart is beside itself! I’ve lived in Colorado my entire 39 years of life and we JUST moved to Montana and I got this app because about a month ago, I saw that they were active, but I missed them. Then I got the message from the app that they could be visible tonight! And they were!!! I was shaking. This is amazing..Version: 6.3.0
Awesome appApp notified to check out northern lights when we were in Iceland if the sky was clear within the hour and the lights lite up the sky in 30+ minutes. Worked perfectly for us on the last day of our trip with a beautiful view from our porch. Had not bothered to check the app until I saw the notification:). Next time I will.Version: 1.7.1
Must have!We live in Billings and need to drive north a little ways to get away from the city lights. This app has been great in deciding if to go or not waste our time. Of course, It’s not perfect because the northern lights do their own thing. However we are about 75% successful now vs a very rare chance before. Very well worth it!.Version: 5.2.5
Always 0%I like this app in general, but it always shows 0% for most of the contiguous US. Last night X was full of pics of the aurora from places this app considered 0% chance of observation, including Florida. With the frequency of these events likely to increase as the magnetic field strength of our planet continues to weaken, you may wish to think about adjusting the interpretation of the data available to you ahead of major solar storms..Version: 6.5.3
Simple and informationalLoved this. Used it to check for activity in Fairbanks Alaska and also used its best location feature to find a good spot to view the activity. Cloud cover and probability feature is not all up to the mark but what is when we don’t fully understand this phenomenon but love the usability..Version: 6.4.2
Surprise to even seasoned aurora huntersI was at dinner in Iceland when the alert can in that it may be possible to see Northern Lights in our area within the hour. The staff at hotel said, no no and pulled up a different app. We paid the bill went outside and sure enough it went from 18% chance to 40% and then they appeared.. Very cool and memorable.Version: 2.0.0
Paid optionI clicked on an ad within the app by mistake. It asked me to change some settings. I take my phones security and my privacy fairly seriously. I would much prefer a paid version. Update. Turns out there is a paid version. I would have liked a link to the paid version available in the free version. If there was one I couldn’t find it. My Aurora Pro $1.99. Worth it not to have the ads, cause I do like the app..Version: 2.0.6
ImprovementsI enjoy the app. and is accurate. Only downside is that I want the ability to set Aurora alerts when there is a certain percent chance (user configurable) at my location. Knowing that it is an index of 5 in the middle of the day or when the sun is still up or extremely cloudy isn’t particular helpful..Version: 5.1.13
I LOVE THIS APPWe live in Fort Benton, Mt and I use this app on a regular basis. The map shows where and approximately when the little to amazing events will happen and what colors to expect. It also shows whether there are expected cloudy skys and the probability of viewing within 15-60 minutes at a time. I’m so LOVING this app..Version: 6.6.3
Great way to track the Auroras!I travel full time and decided to spend this Winter in Alaska solely to get my fill and shoot the Aurora. So glad I found this app as it has everything you need to up your chances to view them no matter where you are on the globe based on your location. You won’t be disappointed..Version: 2.0.0
Real Time Status from Proven World LocationsThis app is so amazing in that one can traverse several world locations to find and see the most beautiful Aurora Borealis displays in our Hemisphere. The camera positioning is perfect and the camera lens quality is outstanding. Thank you so much for this App..Version: 6.5.11
The BEST!!This app, with all its info and its cloud info tool included, is THE reason we found Northern Lights! I got three apps for aurora spotting, but with this one I had enough info to know where to go, when aurora was strong but my location was covered by clouds. Thank you - a bucket list item checked off!!.Version: 4.1.7
I love this apI downloaded this ap about a year ago (October 2019) and have literally been opening it up at least once per day to see the pictures and the Aurora forecast. I recently took a trip to Alaska to see the Aurora depending on the forecast that was about 3 weeks out and it did not disappoint. Thank you!!!.Version: 3.2.1
Great alerts!Gave us a notification about a chance of viewing the last night of our trip, 10 minutes later we could see it from our hotel in Reykjavík. Fantastic way to end the trip..Version: 6.4.2
Great appSent me a message that the lights would be active in an hour with clear sky’s. This was on the last day of my trip. Set out to a good viewing spot and bam there was the lights. Would have never look that night without the app as that night was supposed to be the worst for light action..Version: 3.3.1
Was able to see northern lightsThis app is amazing. I was having a really hard time with the Aurora forecast website and this app made it really easy to understand where to go to see the northern lights. This app helped me see the northern lights on the last day of my Iceland trip. Thank you!!!.Version: 2.0.0
Notifications 45 minutes after sighting. Chance at 1%The concept of this app is good. However, people in my area were taking pictures and staring at the northern lights that were present. The App alerted me 45 minutes after the sightings. And then stated during that time I have a one percent chance to see them, while they are out!!.Version: 6.6.1
FIVE stars!I’ve had this app for a while but today it notified me that I might be able to see the Aurora borealis in my area. So I thought, well ok I’ll check it out. I am so glad that I did. It was spectacular. Thank for making this app!.Version: 6.5.3
Great application with pretty accurate probability maps from anecdotal experience.Been using the app the last few years. The probability map: Or color Map seems to be really accurate in real time..Version: 6.5.11
Thank you to this app!This app is amazing and the single reason I was able to catch the lights show tonight in Iceland. I was locked in for about 4 hours and moved around according to the location predictors and they were spot on! Five stars!!!.Version: 5.3.5
Spot onI got a message telling me the lights are out and it was confirmed. I had a day where the kp was higher, but no lights out. This app knows its stuff well. I wish I would get the notification sooner because I am 4 hrs away from my spot. Great app.Version: 5.3.3
Great app! Accurate!It’s helped me see the lights several times! It’s always been a dream of mine to see the Aurora Borealis, and the notifications and updates helped me see them! It was such a magic experience and I’m truly grateful!.Version: 6.6.3
Location. Location. Location!Really like the app. What would be really helpful is an indication in the top banner that states the location the app is predicting for. We go back and forth from southern to northern Wisconsin and I’m never really sure what location the app is using. Thank you, Rick K.Version: 6.5.11
Best app for seeing the northern lightsVery well put together app. Love the forecast and the notifications. Great work you guys.Version: 2.0.0
It should show photos of the norther lights outside right now!It should really show more things about the northern lights !!!!🌅 But probably one of the best apps I have!!👻 And can you please add way more information and like facts about the AROURA app and more facts about norther lights Thank you so much! 😊.Version: 6.6.4
Some tech glitches - developers, plz read!When I swipe sideways at the bottom of the screen with KP levels forecast, the app swipes down and ultimately blocks the displayed bottom row. Like it’s too sensitive. Please figure out what’s up with that! it’s rally annoying..Version: 6.6.7
AuroraNice!.Version: 6.6.3
Aurora alerts and forecastsAm enjoying this app and appreciate the alerts with sound , getting excited with the possibility if seeing the aurora. Notifications have been accurate about 97% of the time and like the feature to report sightings, the amazing gallery of photos from around the world. I see some bug fixes done a few days ago so am hoping I’ll be hearing sound alerts again. Thanks to the developers..Version: 6.6.4
Pretty goodSo far has been accurate. I’ve seen the northern lights a couple times but thanks to this app I’m able to know when I can see them and now I get to see them a lot more often.Version: 6.6.3

Amazing!!Because of this app I saw the northern lights for the first time in my life. I live in southern Ontario where it’s rare so I’ve always wanted to experience them. I have notifications on and was sitting on my couch when I got a notif that there was a 95% chance I could see them. Once the sun went down I drove just outside of my town and I saw them and it was amazing!!.Version: 6.5.11
