Aurora Notifier vs Aurora Beacon

Aurora notification app with observation reports. Finally available for iOS. This aurora notification app shows notifications when it may be possible to see the northern lights (aurora borealis / australis)! It provides configurable thresholds for local aurora probability, Kp-index (Hp30), solar wind parameters (Bz/Bt) and Kp-level forecast for the evening. It also allows you to be alerted when other app users nearby have seen the aurora light display. For the alert feature to work, other app users register aurora reports when they are successful hunting and get to see the aurora light display. This has proven to be quite successful. Many of the app users also upload pictures of northern lights when they see them, and in this app you can see these pictures. You can also see dots on a 3d-globe animation showing where people have just observed the light show. There are users in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand who regularly report their observations and upload pictures. Although the chances are greater if you live in Alaska, northern Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the southern tip of New Zealand etc, there are also regular opportunities in places like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, Montana, Michigan, Chicago, New York, Scotland, Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, the Baltics etc. The premium version which can be bought within the app itself offers some more technical information and graphs of Kp-index predictions, cloud cover and solar wind parameters - and some hidden features. The app has an associated X account (@aurora_notifier - https://x.com/aurora_notifier) and an Instagram account (@auroranotifierapp - https://www.instagram.com/auroranotifierapp). Consider following those.

Aurora Beacon is a Northern Lights and Southern Lights forecast app designed to answer the question that matters most: is it worth going outside tonight? Instead of relying on a single global aurora index, Aurora Beacon combines live space weather, darkness, cloud cover, Moon conditions and your location to give you a practical local aurora forecast. SEE THE AURORA TONIGHT • Local aurora forecast and visibility guidance • Northern Lights and Southern Lights viewing information • Space-weather activity and real local viewing conditions kept clearly separate • Best viewing window and the biggest factor helping or limiting your chances • Recent trends showing how conditions are changing FOLLOW THE AURORA • Full aurora visibility map • Northern and southern aurora views • Immediate local aurora alerts • Light-pollution and darker-horizon planning • Viewing spots and Horizon Compass UNDERSTAND THE SPACE WEATHER Follow the journey from the Sun to Earth with solar imagery, solar-wind conditions, geomagnetic activity, regional ground observations and solar-event context. See how solar storms, coronal holes, high-speed solar wind and geomagnetic activity can affect your chances of seeing the aurora. COMMUNITY See approved aurora photographs from real observers and contribute your own sightings. Public Community locations are kept approximate rather than exposing a precise private observing position. AURORA BEACON PLUS The core Aurora Beacon experience remains free. Aurora Beacon Plus adds deeper Advanced intelligence, Coronal Hole Watch, Solar Events and future/HSS outlook alerts. Aurora and Northern Lights forecasting is uncertain by nature. Aurora Beacon is designed to make that uncertainty useful and understandable rather than promise that an aurora will appear.
