Great app if you’re interested in the sun and aurora

This a great little piece of tech especially if you live in a northern or southern hemisphere or just interested in the sun’s energy in general. The only thing that could make this app better for me is a live image of the sun but that’s a huge ask! But if it’s possible to see the sun live and in the different light values infrared uv X-ray etc it would also be worth a pro version imo a one off charge for access to sun photography for a geek like me would be class x

Basic and Buggy

Get notifications regardless of settings applied. Got too annoying in the end and deleted.

Great

Very informative and fascinating app

Great app

This app is brilliant for assisting in getting to see Aurora. It is both scientific and accurate. The only improvement I could suggest is incorporating sunset/sunrise times so that notifications about being able to see Aurora do not occur during daylight hours.
