Good app but the notifications are annoying. I had hoped it would give general periodic updates when the chance of see the northern lights is high, but no. Installed it a few hours ago and it is buzzing my phone every few minutes to say the chance is low but I should check the app anyway to see if I can see the lights? pointless and annoying. so I've had to switch notifications off, so i won't know unless i remember to check, which kind of defeats the purpose.

best app out there! thanks to the app we have caught the Aurora in north wales twice!! it's such a simple view which makes things clearer and easier to understand, I'm always recommending it to friends and family! the cloud coverage makes life ten times easier as I used to check multiple weather forecasts etc but as its all in one place I can quickly see if it's worth a drive to somewhere dark! we are going to Iceland soon and have the app downloaded and ready to go!!

this is a great app and I've used it regularly for about 3 years. the app itself is a solid 5 star app but recently, the ads are full-screen and obnoxious especially when you're sitting in the dark waiting on an Aurora. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against advertising. I'm not using the app anymore- suggestions welcome for an alternative.
