About this app

My Aurora Forecast is the best app for seeing the Northern Lights. Built with a sleek dark design, it appeals to both tourists and serious aurora watchers by telling you what you want to know - whether that is exactly how likely you are to see the aurora borealis or details about the solar winds and high-resolution sun imagery. With this app, you'll be seeing the Northern Lights in no time.

- Find the current KP index and how likely you are to see the Northern Lights.
- View a list of the best locations to view from right now.
- Map showing how strong the aurora is around the world, based on the SWPC ovation aurora forecast.
- Free push notifications and alerts when auroral activity is expected to be high.
- Forecasts for the next hour, several hours and several weeks so you can plan your Northern Lights viewing long in advance (subject to weather conditions).
- Solar wind statistics and sun imagery.
- View live aurora webcams from around the world.
- Tour information so if you're considering to go to locations such as Iceland or even Alaska or Canada, you'll be able to find tours that we can recommend to you.

This app is great for getting information fast, but not about notifying you at realistic times. I feel like there should be more notification settings for longer warning signs. Rather than only getting "chances are high right now," get "chances may be high within 24 hours." Without a heads up I sleep before I get the chance to look, and that's unfortunate. For reference, I live where chances are rare, so this is important to me.

Great for auroras but I almost never get a chance down here in southeast Nebraska. But the kp could still be useful and is what I was looking for and not auroras. 5 or higher can affect navigation (ie built in to vehicles or app, I prefer google maps over vehicle, gmaps is pretty easy while vehicle is long several buttons complex navigation to setup) and 7 or higher can have indirect impacts to electronics beyond just navigation.

it used to be extremely precise, but as of late 2024, it's been missing the mark on several occasions. It sometimes predicts higher KP index scores than the NOAA website. I'm wonder what brought about the change and I wish it went back to its older ways.
