Description

Aurora Alerts is an app designed to monitor real-time auroral activity and push alert to let you know if there may be aurora borealis (northern lights) visible tonight. Whenever you are home or away, Aurora Alerts will notify you if the possibility of seeing the northern lights exists. Main features: - short-term aurora forecast for next hour with weather conditions and moon Illumination - long-term aurora forecast for the next 3 days with weather conditions - long-term northern lights forecast for the next 27 days - show probability to see Northern Lights based on your or custom location - current auroral activity (based on observed and predicted Kp Indices from U.S. Air Force Weather Agency) - weather forecast to check visibility conditions before planning to see northern lights - solar wind data directly from the NASA satellite (wind speed, Bz, Bt and density) - unlike many other apps, it uses the local time instead of UTC Alerts: - when northern lights may be visible at current or custom location at the horizon or overhead - Kp index reaches chosen value - solar wind data reach chosen values - you can filter out alerts based on time of the day Boost your chances of viewing the northern lights!

  • Needs updating, not accurate

    By trophycaribou
    The app has not been updated in over an entire year, which makes it very outdated. The % on the top of the app for your chances of seeing the aurora are extremely inaccurate. The long term forecast does not predict accurate predictions. This app has the right idea, but desperately needs an update, better design and far better accuracy, even if that means a pay to use subscription service.
  • GREAT !!

    This is my go to app to see what the KP index is looking like, Bz… and what the forecast is looking like. The only minor suggestion is the graphs are really hard to pinch and zoom in on because then you can’t see the axis on the left.
  • Inconsistent sister app

    Intermittent problem with the “Northern Lights” app. The application won’t stay open. It closes immediately. I’ve tried to delete & reinstall the app & unfortunately, it still isn’t functioning. Very disappointing.

    Great app; unclear what the second page of kp and what the percents mean in this context
  • Very Helpful

    Not sure why this app has low reviews. It helps get the job done with seeing current aurora activity and when we’re seeing it in our location.
  • Stop Unnecessary Notifications

    Stop Unnecessary Notifications
  • Watch app stopped working

    I loved this app so much I paid for the extra features. Then all of a sudden it changed its name from Aurora alert to Northern lights. And I stopped getting alerts on my watch. I try to put it back on my watch and for some reason it will not go back onto my watch which bummed me out. I don’t solely use this app though because sometimes this does not agree with other Aurora apps, but I thought it was a great. It also is not giving me alerts that I paid for on my phone as well.

    Honestly I don’t get what’s going on with lower ratings, but this app have everything I need to know. Great UI and detailed info. I love it. I paid for lifetime access to notifications and forecasts for a total of $12. Really hard to beat this up with other apps.
