Aurora Notifier is an app that uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to send notifications about the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights. It allows users to configure notifications for local aurora probability, Kp-index, solar wind parameters, and Kp-level forecasts for the evening. Additionally, users can be alerted when other nearby app users have witnessed the auroral light display. To enable the alert feature, the app allows users to upload aurora reports when they successfully hunt for and view the auroral light display themselves. The premium version of the app offers additional technical information, graphs of Kp-index predictions, cloud cover, solar wind parameters, and some hidden features, which can be purchased within the app.
The Aurora Notifier app offers several advantages:
- Notification for Northern Lights: The app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to notify users when it may be possible to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis/Australis).
- Customizable Notifications: Users can configure notifications for local aurora probability, Kp-index (Hp30), solar wind parameters (Bz/Bt), and Kp-level forecast for the evening.
- Alert for Nearby Sightings: The app allows users to be alerted when other app users nearby have seen the auroral light display.
- User-generated Aurora Reports: To enable the alert feature, the app allows users to upload aurora reports when they successfully hunt and see the auroral light display themselves.
- Premium Version: The app offers a premium version that can be purchased within the app itself. It provides additional technical information and graphs of Kp-index predictions, cloud cover, solar wind parameters, and some hidden features.
- Enhanced Technical Information: The premium version of the app offers more in-depth technical information and features, such as Kp-index predictions, cloud cover, solar wind parameters, and hidden features.

Notification doesn't always work for me. What ruins this app on my s4 is that it doesn't display correctly. Kp can't be seen and is crunched on the main screen. Looking forward to future updates . Update. Thanks devs,since updated to the note 3 . Confirmed that your update addressed my concerns. Thanks for listening and getting back. 5stars

Somewhat unrealistic but cool looking graphics. Notifications are somewhat hit or miss.

It will tell me the KP is 4 or 5 but I check other sites and it's a 2 or 3. I traveled to NC and I'm getting the exact same notifications as I was in AK...

Free version wasn't worth it. Better options out there.
