About this app
This app notifies you when it may be possible to see the northern lights (aurora borealis / australis)!
It provides configurable notifications 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.
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 Instagram account @auroranotifierapp (https://www.instagram.com/auroranotifierapp). Consider following that user.

Thanks to the author!! Accurate scientific information in advanced tab with help from official public and academic operated sources like norway weather service, DSCOVR satellite at lagrange point L1, german GFZ (geological research center) and US based NOAA predictions. The globe should be more zoomable to roughly identify cities and regions as sightings are getting cluttered and image upload to instagram does not work, there are only a couple of old pictures and my uploads don't appear.

Doesn't work without access to location data - at all (can't be set manually). Useless if you don't want to keep that on at all times.

The app can be used without location permission. 3 out of 5 notification types are independent of location. Only "someone reported northern lights near me" and "local activity alert" need that permission. It is true that it is not possible to set location manually though, and we should probably add that.

App is functional and easy to use, but as others stated, it's missing a function to set location manually

Thanks. Note that only 2 out of 5 notification types require location awareness. Much of the app is therefore functional even without accepting location permission. Global Kp-alert, solar-wind alert, and evening-Kp-forecast notification work without location.
