Toolwise is exceptional, the best app and the one that I used to see and have amazing pictures of the aurora 3 times in the last 10 days. BUT while I was using it, a key function in my opinion (moments) went from available to requiring a registeration. I understand that you need people to be registered in order to post pictures for security reasons and control, but to watch others' pictures? I feel it's unnecessary.

Users viewing photos is what cost us the most, hundred of dollars. We are only two passionate working on this project during our spare time. We had to find a way to minimize the number of views and a better to control on our costs. That's the best trade-off we found, hope you understand. Cheers

I don't understand why there is a payed premium part of the app. As the licence agreements show you are not allowed to charge for Space weather and Magnetometer stations data

Hi there, All premium features are related to our own data, including Moments, photo gallery, user's passport, additional map filters and layers and more. All public data, as well as space weather and magnetometer data, are accessible with a free account. Cheers,

The interface is great! Really clean and understandable. Cant back out from the NOAA oval pictures, have to force close app. Weather data is a bit bland and could be more descriptive. The notification function is great, as long as people play nice! Wish there were more photos uploaded from users :) keep it up, will have this installed for a long time!

Hi Henri, thank you so much for the review. We are very happy to hear from you. Regarding the oval picture, it has been fixed and will be available with the next update. About the weather, we will add it to our to do list and will try to improve it in the future. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Have a happy aurora!

We hope you like it, have a happy aurora hunting!
