CARRINGTON, WATCH THE FORCES THAT MOVE THE WORLD In 1859, a solar storm set telegraph wires sparking across the planet. We call it the Carrington Event. Back then, only the telegraph was wired. Today, everything is, satellites, power grids, GPS, the device in your hand. It happened before. It will happen again. The only question is whether you'll be watching. Carrington puts the planet's biggest natural forces on one live screen: space weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and the health of the oceans. Most apps give you a single window. We show you the whole system, the real-time data, the open science, and the connections the standard models keep in separate boxes. Then we let you decide for yourself. SPACE WEATHER, LIVE • KP index & geomagnetic storms, 1-minute and 3-hour updates • X-ray flux, solar flare activity (B, C, M, X class) • Solar wind from L1, RTSW, ACE, SOLAR-1, DSCOVR streams • Proton & electron flux, F10.7, sunspots, magnetometer, cosmic rays • TEC, DRAP & geoelectric fields for radio and grid conditions EARTH & HAZARD MONITORING • Earthquakes, live global, multi-source • Volcanoes, activity plus stratospheric-injection tracking • Tsunamis, warnings and DART buoy data • Aurora, OVATION forecasts with visibility • Ocean health (AMOC), Atlantic circulation, watched in real time FORECAST LAB, EXPERIMENTAL EARTHQUAKE FORECASTING Carrington's own research models, shown openly as map heatmaps and a daily global quake-likelihood gauge. ETAS aftershock clustering, medium-term build-up, deep-quake watch zones, and ionospheric anomaly overlays, clearly labeled for what they are, including when a signal doesn't hold up. We forecast probabilistically and show our work. We do not claim to predict earthquakes. INTERACTIVE MAPS & VISUALS • Blot Map, 60+ toggleable 2D/3D layers: quakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, plate boundaries, aurora, wind, ocean, magnetic field & more • 3D Planet Map, explore the solar system with real orbital data • 80+ live solar video streams (SDO, GOES, SOHO) • ENLIL & HUXt solar-wind models from NOAA, NASA & the UK Met Office SMART ALERTS • 33 space-weather alert types, flares, KP, proton & radio storms, NOAA watches and more • Plus earthquake, volcano, tsunami, cosmic-ray and ocean alerts • Location-based alerts for nearby quakes, aurora tonight, and hazards near you • The earliest possible heads-up with L1 solar-wind early warning OPEN SCIENCE, NOT SETTLED SCIENCE Carrington is built for people who'd rather see the data than be told a story. Read the research papers behind every focus area, follow the live debate, and join a community that reviews the science. We show you the hypotheses, the evidence, and the honest results, and let you watch the Sun–Earth connection unfold yourself. PLANS • Free, the full live monitor, ad-supported • Basic, everything Free, ad-free • Advanced, every alert, full data screens, deep history, analysis tools & advanced map layers • Premium, location alerts, L1 early warning, the full ~125-year quake archive, premium map layers & the complete research toolset Available in 7 languages.

I can monitor “the situation” myself and receive updates. Thanks Carrington! ### 5/5 — Been Using This App For Years *2026-04-04* Just recently getting use to the new updates and it not only looks good but works good as well. More educational information has been added with more charts and prices for additional data still is very low in prices per year then I would have expected. I think this is the best version on this app then the previous versions combined. Had it since Ben first released it so keep up the great work! For those looking to download I can tell you I have tried other apps before and this is the best one out there. ### 2/5 — Not sure what is happening *2026-01-28, version 5.9.8* This app is really acting weird and crashing my phone and I can’t even select “upgrade” as suggested … it’s really forced or something, it my phone still compliant it’s crashing as soon as it tries to load … totally useless app for iPhone SE? App page has no upgrade tab, it only offers me to open it. I could delete the app and redownload but I’m not sure if I need to etc. Sorry to complain but it’s literally more than useless on my phone it literally crashes it… I’m not looking to damage my iPhone. ### 1/5 — When will it work? *2026-01-19* I’m inquiring about when the Carrington alerts will be back. It’s been a number of weeks with no access to them, no notifications, and just a notice updates are coming. I just get a blank white screen when accessing that option. Turned them off then on per instructions with no change. Not sure we’re interested renewingr the app at this point. Thanks in advance for your response and information ### 1/5 — Junk App. Unresponsive support. *2026-01-19* I used to enjoy using this app. However, after writing them indicating that the main splash screen has been the same one that has been for several months. There was no response from support. Make sure you make the right session before paying for this app. It says it has huge updates ahead. But that’s being posted for a while. I’ve been paying for this app. Getting very disappointed and its functionality. Choose your purchase wisely. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-01-18, version 5.9.8* Application is no longer being maintained, multiple data sources not working since September 2025. ### 3/5 — App's been taken over by another provider *2026-01-15, version 5.9.8* Updated review : I'm reviewing this app following the latest update after the new service provider took over. I find that, while it looks flash, it's not so easy to find your way around now. The graphs are displayed separately where once they were together. My main complaint is that there is little to no detail about the health effects of solar and cosmic activity - I used to find that particularly useful. I doubt I'll be renewing my subscription (especially since it used to be free for me and is now no longer!). Previous review : I've enjoyed this app for a number of years without any issues. Since Ben and his Suspicious Observers crew gave control over to another service provider (Carrington?) it has deteriorated. I can no longer see the Kp Index and Solar Wind charts. I emailed support about this many weeks ago and got ........ tumbleweed! Not impressed. ### 1/5 — App is Non Functional *2026-01-14, version 5.9.8* It worked fine until just recently when notifications went off the rails and app says major updates coming but it never came. No communication and can’t contact them either. Very disappointing and frustrating! ### 3/5 — Need iOS 26 Update ASAP *2026-01-13, version 5.9.8* Need app update real soon - Jan 17-20 2026 coming up. SDO & GOES X-Ray stopped popping up. Also, my alert messages feed is stuck in Dec 2025. If you have to, let Claude AI or Google do the SWIfT rewrite. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Was good *2026-01-13, version 5.9.8* Desperately needs updates. It has been neglected and has promised updates for too long. Half of the stuff hasn’t worked for a long time. ## Frequently asked questions about Carrington ### What does the Carrington app do?
