## What is AuroraReach?

AuroraReach app is an aurora tracking, forecasting and alerting app that gives local aurora visibility scores for cities around the world. We take weather conditions like cloud cover, visibility, time of day etc. along with aurora score to generate a score that can help you find the aurora visibility times for a gives city. Along with aurora, weather conditions are also predicted for up to 4 days. We also let users checkin an aurora sighting and alert based on that.

We track ~24K cities around the world for aurora activity and weather conditions. It is easy to get started by subscribing to alerts for multiple cities and get alerted on the app for free. Realtime aurora map shows the aurora activity on the map and you can interact with the map to select the cities we are tracking from map and having activity at that time. Aurora Travel destination searching is easier with this and with our city search page you can search by city or country for viewing the city aurora forecast report and subscribe to cities for alerts. You can favorite the cities for quick accesses in the future even if you are not registered with an account.

As we track city specific aurora scores, we cover cities under the northern lights (aurora borealis), southern lights (aurora australis) and even cities where aurora hasn't occurred till date. Web page has sighting specific pages to chat on realtime aurora sighting, this will be released soon in the app version too. 

Enjoy hunting auroras with AuroraReach and find your next aurora destination with this app.

### 5/5 — Forecast for my area

*2025-11-10*

Always accurate but unfortunately we have not yet seen them

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2025-11-03, version 1.13.0*

La meilleure appli pour les aurores boreales

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2025-08-28*

Was very accurate when I visited luleä

### 5/5 — Go to source

*2025-03-24*

I downloaded the app to use as a guide to activity whilst visiting Tromsø. It was an excellent source for all needed to know about current conditions and activities. It is no my go-to guide

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-01-07*

Bad

### 5/5 — This works

*2024-12-09*

The future forecast feature works! not perfectly of course! we are talking about nature here and of course it is unpredictable but the probability worked for us and we hunted for the aurora using this app and the northern lights alert app - they worked! we saw it on the day that all other predictions said it was impossible to see the lights!

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2024-10-11, version 1.10.1*

Although I do think some guidance on how to read the chart is needed

### 3/5 — Notifications

*2024-08-07, version 1.10.1*

The app is fine. Need to be able to set notifications based on the intensity of storms. In my location, I am extremely unlikely to see a solar storm that is less than say G3. However, the app is constantly notifying me only G1 storms - this makes the notification feature basically pointless for me where I live.

### 5/5 — Best app for aurora forecast

*2024-05-11*

The best app with easy to use interface and good forecast capability.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-03-02, version 1.9.4*

Application très claire, très bien faite, informations précises qui nous ont permis de voir de très belles aurores boréales. Parfait! 😍
