What's New in 4.1.5 Tours & Experiences Find and book aurora tours and other experiences right in the app. Browse tours by destination, with more destinations worldwide, including Poland. See live availability, ratings and sorting options, and full tour details with what's included. Tour suggestions based on your location. Improvements & fixes Fixed the app wrongly switching to offline mode. Refreshing and recovering from lost connections are now more reliable. The app icon badge now clears when you open the app. Fixed a crash on older Android versions (below Android 14). Layout and scrolling fixes on the home screen, plus general polish.

Bug Fixes & Improvements Live score now matches notifications — Fixed a mismatch where the app showed a different aurora score than what triggered your alert. Both now use the same calculation. Faster Pro Data screen — Sections now load with smooth skeleton placeholders instead of a spinning indicator, so you can see content appear progressively. Smoother home screen refresh — Tapping refresh no longer blanks the screen. Your current forecast stays visible while new data loads silently in the background. Night Sky Events redesign — Cleaner card layout with consistent icons throughout. Settings screen polish — Replaced emoji with proper icons for a more consistent look.

Improved the Aurora Map for more accurate aurora activity and location data.

Fixed temperature and wind speed showing "N/A" in Pro Data — caused by an API rename in Open-Meteo v2 "Forecast for Tonight" now uses a stable score from our backend instead of recalculating on every refresh Forecast now shows the time it was published, in your language Aurora map replaced with a smooth heatmap — no more pixelated bands Pro Data screen now loads in two phases: weather, cloud cover, and Kp data appear immediately, while solar wind and trend charts load in the background

Solar Wind Data Fixed — Corrected a data ordering issue that could show outdated Bz/solar wind readings instead of live conditions. Faster Tonight Score — Your aurora score now loads instantly from our servers instead of calculating on your device. Faster Best Spots — Cloud cover for nearby viewing spots now loads in parallel, cutting wait times. Fixed Sharing Links — Links to the app now open correctly instead of falling back to the browser. Performance & stability improvements.

Faster Loading — Aurora score and solar wind data now appear in seconds. The app loads your location instantly and fetches critical data first. Bz Graph Now Always Shows — Fixed an issue where the Bz trend chart would sometimes not appear. Background Updates — The app refreshes data silently. When you return, existing data stays visible while new data loads. Performance Improvements — Enabled R8 code optimization for faster startup and lower memory usage. Bug Fixes — Fixed iOS crash when GPS was slow. Removed placeholder data that could appear on slow networks.

Improved Aurora Notifications We've made aurora alerts more reliable and accurate. Notifications now trigger at more sensitive thresholds so you won't miss viewing opportunities. Enhanced Data Accuracy Fixed solar wind speed and proton density readings to ensure you get the most accurate aurora predictions. Our forecast system now filters historical data correctly for better tonight predictions. Better Notification System Added per-region cooldown periods to prevent notification spam while ensuring you're alerted when conditions are optimal. The system now includes retry logic for more reliable data fetching. Performance Improvements Enhanced backend reliability with health monitoring, better error handling, and improved API response times. Bug Fixes - Fixed issue where speed and density values were swapped - Corrected aurora score calculations for all regions - Improved forecast data filtering to show only future predictions - Enhanced notification triggers for sustained solar wind conditions This update focuses on reliability and accuracy to help you catch more auroras.

Bug fixes and improvements. - Fixed an issue where the "I See Aurora" report screen could appear behind the Dynamic Island or notch on iPhone, making the close button unreachable. - Fixed aurora sighting notifications not triggering when multiple users reported seeing aurora in the same area. - Aurora sightings are now stored for 7 days (the app still shows sightings from the last 12 hours).

Tour suggestions in the affiliate travel section now show experiences near your actual GPS location - whether you are in Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Scotland, Alaska, Canada, New Zealand or anywhere else in the world. Previously, tours defaulted to Reykjavik regardless of where you were located.
