Aurora Notifier

What Aurora Notifier does

Aurora Notifier is a weather app for people who want to know when the northern lights may be visible near them. It combines aurora forecasts with current solar and geomagnetic information, helping users decide whether conditions are worth watching. This makes it a better fit for occasional skywatchers and dedicated aurora hunters than for anyone looking for a general rain or temperature forecast.

Useful information for planning

The app presents data such as the Kp index, local aurora probability and solar-wind readings. Users can set notification thresholds, including the level of activity or local likelihood that should trigger an alert. That gives you some control over how often the app speaks up, rather than sending every possible update.

• Forecast information for auroral activity
• Solar-wind and geomagnetic details for users who want more context
• Alerts based on selected probability and activity thresholds
• A globe view showing activity and reports in different regions

Reports from other observers

Aurora Notifier also adds reports from people who are watching the sky. Nearby sightings can provide useful context when a forecast suggests activity but does not show whether anyone is actually seeing it. User-submitted photographs and reports may help you judge the apparent strength and colour of a display before heading outside.

Ratings and publisher

The app is published by Naturfakta AS and is listed in the Weather category. It has a rating of 4.72 out of 5 from 6,248 reviews, with 100,000+ installs. Those figures suggest an established audience, while the specialist focus remains clear: this is a tool for tracking aurora conditions, not a replacement for a full everyday weather service.
