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 and 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 current cloud cover or time of the day
Boost your chances of viewing the northern lights!

Ratings and Reviews
Nice app
Nice app, not 100% but it is accurate sometimes atleast, still 5stars, even tho it crashes now since the latest update, hopefullly they fix that.
Best of the free apps
Before installing an aurora app I did a bit of research and installed/tested a few.
My criteria:
The app should be free.
It should work well for the Northern hemisphere. (I am based in the north of Sweden.
It should be both easy to use, give an overview at a glance, but should also offer more sophisticated data.
In the end I decided to continue with this app, so far in the free version. (I might at a later point of time upgrade, in order to support the developer and to obtain further data.)
The app fulfills my expectations perfectly.
It is my first season with this app, so yet too early for a comment on its performance. I will update my review though.
Stopped working
Worked great for a while but now it shuts down and won’t restart. Reinstalled twice but still won’t work. 😕
