Minor fixes and improvements

The 2026 aurora season has been spectacular, and we’re committed to helping you make the most of it before things start to slow down. In this update, we’ve introduced several key improvements: • Profile redesign: A completely refreshed profile page with a cleaner layout and more intuitive navigation. • Updated moments feed: New Recent and Explore tabs in the Moments section make it easy to switch between the latest community sightings and the global gallery. In case you missed our previous release, these features were added in the last update: • Expanded “Aurora Spotted” Alerts: Now covering sightings in Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Canada, the US, the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Austria, and Switzerland. • Aurora Passport (Pro): Log your sightings and document your personal journey under the lights. • Precision Alerts (Pro): Smarter and more control of your notification. Include location-specific notifications so you never miss a peak moment. We hope you enjoy these improvements. If you have any feedback, please reach out to us at contact@hello-aurora.com.

The end of the Northern Lights season is approaching, but we’re celebrating with a major update featuring your most-requested features! It has been an incredible year so far—14,000 auroras have been spotted by our community since January. After the success of the Aurora Passport, we’ve turned our focus to advanced notifications for Pro users. You now have control over how and when you’re alerted: - Distance-Based Alerts: Configure alerts by kilometer range. For example, set the app to only notify you when an aurora is spotted within 30 km of your location. - Choose to get notification only from aurora spotted reports with photos / Moments. - Intensity Filters: Choose the level of activity that triggers an alert. You can now filter sightings by Weak, Medium, or Intense to ensure you only head out for the brightest lights. - Substorm Strength: On very active nights, notifications can get chaotic. You can now choose to receive substorm alerts only when they reach a specific intensity. - Bz Value Triggers: The Bz value is a crucial indicator for aurora hunting. You can now set a custom threshold to be notified the moment the Bz value drops, ensuring you never miss the start of the dance. As always, we’ve included various bug fixes and performance improvements to keep the app running smoothly. We hope you love this update! As always, you can reach us at contact@hello-aurora.com.
