Why it is here
A weather app for aurora watchers
Aurora Notifier is built for people who want to know when the northern lights may be visible, rather than relying on a general weather forecast. It combines aurora probability information with solar and geomagnetic readings, including the Kp index and Bz/Bt measurements. That makes it a better fit for regular aurora watchers and technically minded sky observers than for anyone looking for a standard rain or temperature app.
Alerts based on conditions that matter
The app lets you set thresholds for local aurora probability and Kp activity, so notifications can match your location and tolerance for weaker displays. This is useful when you want an alert only when the chances are worth going outside, instead of receiving a message for every change in solar activity.
Reports from the ground
Forecast data is paired with user-submitted sighting reports. These reports can show whether people are actually seeing auroras nearby, adding practical context that satellite measurements cannot provide on their own. An interactive 3D globe presents activity and observations across regions including North America, Europe and Oceania, while a photo feed gives a visual sense of recent displays.
Why it stands out
Aurora Notifier keeps its focus narrow and makes room for both data and community observations. It is most useful to users who are willing to check solar conditions, follow reports and make their own decision about when to head outdoors. The app is published by Naturfakta AS, has a 4.7 rating from 6,248 reviews, and has passed 100,000 installs.
