Comments on Aurora Watch (UK) for Android

★★★★★ 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!

★★★★★ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★★☆☆☆ Charles Stawell · Jun 2, 2025

Respect the efforts behind the backend, but the app execution is poor, it's daytime blue skies in the UK right now, and I'm being told it's likely I can see Aurora.... yeah right... I think pooling cloud radar, time of year, light pollution and localizing chances of seeing anything would go a long way to help do what they need to do to tick off this beauty from their bucket list... this app needs a setting to shut it up based on your gps - I'm not in russia or Norway, so I'm not in the red zone.
