Good app, which shows you the (more or less) current KP index, as well as a forecast. Best thing: it notifies you depending on the settings you choose and lets you know when / if other users have seen auroras in your region. You can set your location manually or by GPS. The interface is a bit basic and sadly there's no info how much the premium version costs. I wanted to support the creator, but having to agree to Google Plays buying contract without being shown the cost was not ideal. :(

This is a great app for checking Aurora activities. There are a lot of functions and has predictions ect and an interactive map with locations pinpointed in green where the aurora has been seen recently. I use this app in conjunction with 4 other apps to calculate the aurora possibilities for my location. I am in New England so I need as much proof as I can get lol.

Thanks to the author!! Accurate scientific information in advanced tab with help from official public and academic operated sources like norway weather service, DSCOVR satellite at lagrange point L1, german GFZ (geological research center) and US based NOAA predictions. The globe should be more zoomable to roughly identify cities and regions as sightings are getting cluttered and image upload to instagram does not work, there are only a couple of old pictures and my uploads don't appear.

looks beautiful but I've had it for several months, it gives notifications in real time, thus you can't plan and wait for it. I usually saw the notification in the morning. As for the few times it happened in the evening, there was no sign of aurora outside, while colleagues told me about auroras I did not get any notification for... Conclusion: useless app!

The current AuroraNotifier version supports notifications for Kp index forecast. It also has a number of other notification types which were not present in 2021 like: "People nearby have reported seeing northern lights", "There has just been a rush of new pictures uploaded". Hopefully these features will increase the chance of seeing the auroras.
