Comments on Aurora Watch (UK) for Android

★★★★★ MORTI ADDAMS008 · Jun 10, 2025

Love this Aurora alert prog. Can't compare with others, but find this really good at highlighting when an aurora might be on the horizon, and its unobtrusive, but sends alerts when aurora might be active. Unfortunately I live too far south to see much with the naked eye, but have managed to capture aurora (north sky) through phone cam. It's a bit of pot luck but an absolute gem when there are results. Seeing something might not otherwise get to see in lifetime.

★★★★★ Diane Galloway · Nov 6, 2023

I've set the notifications come through for amber and red alerts, and it seems to be very accurate.

★★★★★ Richard Hill · Aug 19, 2024

Great app for alerts to spot the aurora and has needed me a few. Would be nice if there was a customizable threshold as being down South I'd set higher than red. Anyway, still a great app, thanks!

★☆☆☆☆ Joshua Ismail · Oct 11, 2024

I have it set to amber alerts but did not receive an alert yesterday (10/10/24). It skipped from green at 3pm to red at 4pm, this seems like a bug? It should still send out an alert even if there's no amber if it jumps to red. I missed the aurora which is frustrating since it's the whole purpose of the app.

★☆☆☆☆ Eddie Case · Apr 24, 2023

Notifications come in an hour out of sync so by the time I get the alert it's already at the end of the hour window. It's an app for the UK that doesn't allow for British Summer and has no option in the settings to rectify this. I've rated as one star purely because notifications after the fact are of no use at all. Edit after response from developer - no email received, and whatever the reason, notifications an hour after the fact render the app useless other than for interest.
