Comments on Aurora Watch (UK) for Android

★★★★★ Great app, the only thing missing getting a 5-star review is the option to restrict alerts to the hours of darkness. Being told there is a high chance of being able to see an aurora in the middle of the day, isn't actually much use.

★★★★★ 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!

★★★★★ Really useful app! Updates frequently (every few minutes) and you can review geomagnetic levels from over the course of the day. The alert function is great, I like that you can choose to be alerted at different levels. Also appreciate that the app asks for very few device permissions (just notifications I think), is transparent about why these are needed, and doesn't require you to provide any personal data.

★★☆☆☆ Failed to send me any notifications. Missed every aurora since installing the app. Only good for showing you what you have already missed. Worse than useless!!

★★☆☆☆ 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.

★★☆☆☆ So far I've only been getting notifications of "visible aurora" during the day. I understand there maybe strong geomagnetic occurrence's at 14:00, but to have a notification to let me know of a possibly visible aurora is a bit confusing. Do I need to change any of my settings? Could a possible time frame for the notification be an option?
