Aurora Notifier vs AuroraCall

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.

Will tonight be worth going outside? AuroraCall answers with one word — and wakes you up when it is. No Kp charts to decode, no jargon. One screen tells you tonight's verdict for your exact location: NO, MAYBE, YES or STRONG YES — with the best time window and which direction to look. ONE SCORE, FIVE REAL FACTORS Every night we compute a 0-100 visibility score from the things that actually decide whether you see an aurora: • NOAA's Ovation aurora oval — the physical model of where the aurora is right now • The geomagnetic forecast for your darkness hours • Cloud cover at your location, hour by hour • Moonlight washing out faint displays • Real astronomical darkness — computed on your device THE WAKE-UP CALL IS THE PRODUCT • Our servers re-score your sky every 15 minutes, all night. • You get woken only above your chosen threshold — alerts stay rare, so they stay trusted. • Within-the-hour warning: we watch live solar wind from the DSCOVR spacecraft; when it turns strongly favorable during your darkness, you get a heads-up minutes ahead — the same signal professionals watch. • G3+ storm watches: know 1-2 days early when aurora may reach far south of normal. MADE FOR FIRST-TIMERS • A 60-second guide: dark adaptation, escaping streetlights, and why your phone camera sees auroras your eyes can't at low latitude. • Solar maximum is now — the best ~18 months in two decades. Southern Hemisphere fully supported: AuroraCall points you south and tracks the aurora australis too. BETWEEN STORMS A countdown of the next real sky events — Perseids, Geminids, solstices — so the app earns its place year-round.
