This aurora notification app shows notifications when it may be possible to see the northern lights (aurora borealis / australis)!

It provides configurable thresholds for local aurora probability, Kp-index (Hp30), solar wind parameters (Bz/Bt) and Kp-level forecast for the evening.

It also allows you to be alerted when other app users nearby have seen the aurora light display. For the alert feature to work, other app users register aurora reports when they are successful hunting and get to see the aurora light display. This has proven to be quite successful.

Many of the app users also upload pictures of northern lights when they see them, and in this app you can see these pictures. You can also see dots on a 3d-globe animation showing where people have just observed the light show. There are users in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand who regularly report their observations and upload pictures.

Although the chances are greater if you live in Alaska, northern Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the southern tip of New Zealand etc, there are also regular opportunities in places like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, Montana, Michigan, Chicago, New York, Scotland, Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, the Baltics etc.

The premium version which can be bought within the app itself offers some more technical information and graphs of Kp-index predictions, cloud cover and solar wind parameters - and some hidden features.

The app has an associated X account (@aurora_notifier - https://x.com/aurora_notifier) and an Instagram account (@auroranotifierapp - https://www.instagram.com/auroranotifierapp). Consider following those.

This is a great app for checking Aurora activities. There are a lot of functions and has predictions ect and an interactive map with locations pinpointed in green where the aurora has been seen recently. I use this app in conjunction with 4 other apps to calculate the aurora possibilities for my location. I am in New England so I need as much proof as I can get lol.

Thanks to the author!! Accurate scientific information in advanced tab with help from official public and academic operated sources like norway weather service, DSCOVR satellite at lagrange point L1, german GFZ (geological research center) and US based NOAA predictions. The globe should be more zoomable to roughly identify cities and regions as sightings are getting cluttered and image upload to instagram does not work, there are only a couple of old pictures and my uploads don't appear.

looks beautiful but I've had it for several months, it gives notifications in real time, thus you can't plan and wait for it. I usually saw the notification in the morning. As for the few times it happened in the evening, there was no sign of aurora outside, while colleagues told me about auroras I did not get any notification for... Conclusion: useless app!

I'm just learning about aurora monitors and Apps. ATM I'm trying to set a (loud) alarm to notify me of high chance & seen by others nearby. so far I've missed 2 potential excursions. I think, once I work it out, this could be good. Thanks Developer - I will try that.

Much improved and revamped as of May 2023 this is my go to app for Aurora chasing now. Also picks up on local sightings so you can head off with some confirmation that "it's on !". Heaps of data and loved the graphics.

This app has completely stopped working this week. It just says refreshing all the time. This happened once before and lasted several weeks before it was fixed.

Works well, I might upgrade to premium but I don't see any place we are told what that gets us or how much it is. So I don't upgrade. Thanks for the response, bought.
