Amazing Aurora

The app has great data that updates frequently and easy to understand. It’s my go-to app… when it works. Multiple occasions when a big solar storm is predicted and when it’s crucial to getting up-to-date info is when the app won’t show any information. You can log in but the pages don’t update no matter which tab or if I close it out and come back. Doesn’t make a difference whether I use WiFi or not. I don’t know if too many people trying to access the website/app at the same time impacts this but seems to correlate when many would be using the app to catch the Aurora. Again, great app, but not dependable.

I like that this app provides a lot of useful info. But I’m getting update notices every time I open it and no update occurs when I click on update. All my other apps update automatically. Why not this one?

I was involved with beta testing this app and worked closely with the developer to incorporate features that I found lacking in other apps. Prior to using Amazing Aurora, I would reference two other apps plus at least two webpages of Space Weather Live in order to see the information I needed to pursue and photograph the aurora. Amazing Aurora puts all that information in one place, in a simple, intuitive format that’s easy to see and understand. This is one of those apps designed to provide a useful service, not as a gimmicky money maker for the developer.
