Excellent content and well worth the effort to comprehend the information contained in this app.
★★★★★Frank Almeida· May 11, 2024
Tried all the aurora apps I could find. This is hands down the best one, way better than even the one with a million downloads. I may be a noob at my know-how of auroras, but I certainly know good app design, and this one is top-notch! Keep up the good work, and I hope this review helps you net more downloads :)
★★★★★Megan Steckly· Jan 27, 2026
Spectacular. The user interface is excellent, the data is exactly what you want it to be, The additional information that explains everything is above bar and expectations. Genuinely the best Aurora app I've explored.
