Aurora Buddy (v. 1.5.0) Разработано combatdave |
The most feature complete northern lights app for Android!
UPDATING BUG IS NOW FIXED.
This app gives you updates and alerts for the short-term Aurora Borealis (and Aurora Australis) forecast from the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. Great for knowing when to get outside to see the northern lights.
You can also view the most recent satellite data for both the North and South poles, as well as the most recent short term predictions on a map for 5 areas:
Alaska
North America
Europe
North Polar
South Polar
(Do a long press on the image to select.)
Ideas and requests for features which you would like to see in the app should be either emailed to me, or left in the comments. Thanks!

[2012-10-20] A Google User: Waste of money A waste of money. Weather doesn't work. Kp alerts don't work even when it's set very low and for ever 15 minutes. Irritated that I spent the money on this app. |

[2012-10-18] A Google User: HAWT, SEXY. SEXY, HAWT. |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: No southern hemisphere! Hardly any options, couldn't find any way to see the Aurora Australia. Looks like this free app has been left for dead, in light of the pay version. |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: Working great Great app - works great now that update bug fixed! Weather no longer working. |
|
[2012-08-19] A Google User: Doesn't work. Downloaded as i might see them in a few weeks. But when it opens it just says something like it cant be updated,so it's been deleted. Will just stick to the website it looks like the information comes from. |
|
[2012-08-19] A Google User: Awesome! |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Meh I'd buy the paid version of this and try it out if only it weren't one of the most overpriced apps on the market!! Lower price would result in more sales and more profit. What a shame! |
|
[2012-06-14] A Google User: Fun and easy |
|
[2012-05-21] A Google User: Meh.. Would purchase full version if it wasn't $8!!! That's alot for an app, that is supposed to be the upgrade of this one. According to reviews, "it doesn't seem that great!" |
|
[2012-04-27] A Google User: The potograper's best buddy! I love it. |
|
[2012-04-23] A Google User: SGS2 ICS Excellent app. I wouldn't hesitate to get the paid app if it was €1.49 |
|
[2012-03-21] A Google User: if it worked it would be great - it does not! Its so sad that an app with so much potential fails so badly - once again this has crashed and still shows the data from several days ago ........ it seems that everytime there is any activity then aurora buddy dies - which makes the whole thing pretty pointless But what really amazes me is that the advert for the pro version is still there ...... how on earth do you think anyone would even consider paying all that money for a more complicated version when the basic one is so useless?? I really want an aur |

[2012-03-15] A Google User: Wait for higher rating Kp does not update. Has had Kp at 3.0 from USAF for 3 days now. Sat image from NOAA POES is updating correctly. Please fix. |
|
[2012-03-13] A Google User: Turns off Does not stay running so you must chexk it on your own |
|
[2012-03-10] A Google User: Very good Most of the time |
|
[2012-03-10] A Google User: Good as a free app. Don't buy! Saw the best show of lights ever... thanks. But all I this information/images and more are being taken from a website. swpc.noaa.gov. So really not worth paying for! Except for the automated notification - nothing new here. |
|
[2012-03-09] A Google User: Works fine I would love to go pro but almost capped my pants when I saw it was $8. Way way way over priced. I think I will stay free. |
|
[2012-02-20] A Google User: Gr8 Nicely works in eperia arc |
|
[2012-01-29] A Google User: Let down The one day aurora borealis was going to be visible this app did not even update. Not going to pay if the free version is not even functioning |
|
[2012-01-27] A Google User: Good when it works It got stuck for a few days but works well when functioning correctly |
|
[2012-01-26] A Google User: Missed events It does not seem to stay up to date on the current conditions, but usually lags a couple of days behind. The image of the auroral oval seems to be stuck in 1 position rather than changing with the conditions, even when Aurora buddy notifies you via notification bar of a strong event. |
|
[2012-01-26] A Google User: Worked well for one day only Had this app for months then finally got an alert on 23rd. The next few days had sightings yet the app was still stuck on the 23rd. Still is as I type this. No use! |
|
[2012-01-25] A Google User: Ok... Like it, but does not update the forecast date or kp strength, meaning no alerts happen. HTC Desire. |
|
[2012-01-24] A Google User: Doesn't seem to update Latest forecast is from yesterday morning, even though I've tried to refresh it occasionally for the last couple of hours. |
|
[2012-01-24] A Google User: Northern lights Great way to keep you uptodate with whats comming in. |
|
[2012-01-24] A Google User: No point in this Tells you nothing. If pay app the same I will never know. BaBye. |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: So far no complaints Does what it says, we'll see this weekend. You get what you pay for. ;-) |
|
[2012-01-03] A Google User: Ok but slightly boring It is no good with my indulge,it keep crashing for no reason. |
|
[2011-12-18] A Google User: Works as intended Very cool, lightweight app and works great. I've yet to see the northern lights, but weather hasn't cooperated. |
|
[2011-12-09] A Google User: I Downloaded this instead of Pro I downloaded the pro version first, but refunded it because of: The Pro: Could not get location: (Yes, my GPS is on) The Pro: Could not get weather update (can not remember exact, but it was something like that) (Yes, I have internet access) So I refunded it and downloaded this app instead. I have kept the pro if it had worked. My 5 star rating is for this app with less features, but at least it works as announced :) |
|
[2011-11-01] A Google User: Nice app. However won't update even after manual update. Have to use website for current info. Might uninstall if it doesn't work. |
|
[2011-11-01] A Google User: Awesome app, but update issue Best app out there, was able to see the Aurora for the first time.. However since the new update, I was not alerted to the auroral activity last night |
|
[2011-10-28] A Google User: Great App I am going pro as soon as it is compatible with my sensation. |
|
[2011-10-19] A Google User: cool app, simple and easy to use, would be nice if there was estimated time for viewing and direction were available, not needed but would be nice |
|
[2011-09-21] A Google User: Great little app Great job with app. Would love forecasts. Thanks from Aurora borealis notifications. |
|

|
[2011-08-08] A Google User: Unable to install on Droid 2 App will download but I get Installation Failed error. Tried rebooting but no help. |
|
[2011-08-05] A Google User: Simple and useful Clean. Simple. Straightforward. Pretty much spot on. |
|
[2011-07-25] A Google User: I would like to see it work with the gps on my phone and automatically notify me when I should be able to see it at my current location. |
|
[2011-05-30] A Google User: Very nice, good alerts |
|
[2011-05-30] JT: Very nice, good alerts |

[2011-03-06] A Google User: Love the app, but it triggers the status bar alert again when I open the app by clicking on the first one. Quite annoying. |

[2011-02-09] A Google User: Very strait forward app, functional but not feature packed. Could do with forcasting and alerts to bring user back to app rather than forgeting it. |
