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.

I'm just learning about aurora monitors and Apps. ATM I'm trying to set a (loud) alarm to notify me of high chance & seen by others nearby. so far I've missed 2 potential excursions. I think, once I work it out, this could be good. Thanks Developer - I will try that.

To lower the probability of losing alerts, we suggest to disable "Battery optimization" for the app in the Android app settings. By doing that, notifications should not get muted if you do not open the app in a while.

looks beautiful but I've had it for several months, it gives notifications in real time, thus you can't plan and wait for it. I usually saw the notification in the morning. As for the few times it happened in the evening, there was no sign of aurora outside, while colleagues told me about auroras I did not get any notification for... Conclusion: useless app!

The latest version has:
- Kp level forecasts for the evening.
- notifications taking your location into account (making them more reliable than global Kp-index notifications).
- notifications based on other app users' observations.
Hopefully these new features will increase the probability of seeing the northern lights.
