SpaceWeatherLive

I love this app so much, but what it really needs is an iOS widget that shows the Real Time Solar Wind data. That would be awesome! Also, lately the push notifications for Hemispheric Power have not been working for me, and I tried deleting and reinstalling the app and tried changing the threshold, but nothing has worked so far. I hope you guys can fix this! My push notifications ID is 31f0dd24-2bf6-4f56-b8ca-9df4e0286ab7. Thanks again for this app, it is really awesome!! Edit: it seems like they are now working again. Thank you!

First I’ll say I absolutely love this app. I’ve been using it for several years now. I’ve shared it with several friends and I think the co tent is really amazing for a free app and it’s even got more content that some paid apps. That being said, the new update that I downloaded caused ads to start playing. I have no problem with ads. I understand people have to make money somehow. But the ads being used are not allowing me to renter the app. I’m having to close the whole thing and go back in. Some of the ads have an “x” to get out of it but most of the time the one playing does not. Are you able to control that? Is there any way for you all to make sure the game ads that just continue to play and have no button to bring me back to the app are not used? It’s really disappointing because this app was always so easy to use before that. Either way, thank you for making such an amazing app! Keep up the good work.

I wrote a review several days ago but it never got posted. Kind of funny there haven’t been any reviews posted in the last month (as of now, May 8 - most recent review is one in April & several in March talking about the awful update and the ad problem.) So I’ll write another review and see what happens. Listen to the other reviews - Do not update this app if you already haven’t. Old versions had unobtrusive small ads, but the new version 1.8.1 has those really obnoxious pop-up ads that take over your screen and have a countdown so you can’t do anything until the timer ends. All the developer has to say to the negative feedback is oh well now you can buy a subscription to get rid of the ads for a reasonable fee blah blah blah. There are many users who’ve been using this app for years & you guys suddenly made it virtually unusable unless you pay a reoccurring fee which is pretty much forcing people who’ve been using the app regularly into having to buy your subscription. That’s bad business. It would be one thing if you offered a SpaceWeather Light version with ads and a paid SpaceWeather Pro version without ads - and by paid I mean a one time purchase price upfront, not a “subscription”. That way people would know what they were getting into upfront and they would choose the app version that suits their needs. I would be actually be willing to pay for an ad free version —- but only the way I described it, not the trashy sneaky way you guys have made it. I understand that you need to have ads to support free use but this is just ridiculous. You’re losing loyal customers, you’re ratings in the App Store have gone way down, your ranking in weather apps has gone way down. What is it going to take for you to stop these annoying ads and go back to the way it was?
