One of the most popular services we provide is the local aurora alert service. You can get instantly notified when there is a high chance for auroral activity at your location without having to check the app all the time. You can also get alert services for the solar wind data and Kp index. These extra services can be purchased within the app.
The app also provides predicted and observed Kp index, solar wind data directly from the satellite ACE, such as solar wind speed and magnetic field (Bz and Bt), and graphs with recent data to help you predict auroral activity.
The app focuses much on the activity right now, but we also added a 3 day Kp forecast which can give you a hint which days you could expect higher activity. Enjoy!

Best guide for the Aurora
Aurora boy
This is the #1 app for predicting and monitoring the Aurora. On our recent trip we used this as our go-to indicator of activity. Highly recommend.
Good app

This app performs well, and gives me the information I need to be on the alert for the possibly seeing an aurora in my area. I would recommend this app to a friend.
Seems nice, but

I wish you could set up notifications for other areas other than your current location and also the ability to get notifications based on the forecast. i.e get notified when the space weather will be dramatic at my cabin this weekend.
Never worked for me

I could never get past the “network problem - could not load new data” error message. A pity...
Eh....

It was nice. But, local probability no longer loads. That was one of the main reasons I paid for this app and it’s alerts. Now it’s gone.
Exactly What I Needed.

I love how this app helps you not only pay attention to the colors, but the science behind it!
Easy and simple

This is a great app, it does a the job of simply telling when you're going to be able to see the aurora. The data is arranged clearly and the graphic showing visibility on the earth is interesting.
