Aurora Now

Aurora Now includes 40-minute advance alerts, 7-day aurora forecast, live webcams from aurora destinations worldwide, custom notification settings and an ad-free experience. You pay once and get lifetime access to all features and future updates.

Yes! Unlike most apps that charge monthly subscriptions, Aurora Now is a single purchase that gives you lifetime access. No recurring fees, no hidden costs. You own the app forever and receive all future updates at no extra charge.

Our alerts are based on real-time data from NASA's ACE spacecraft and NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. The 40-minute advance notice comes from monitoring solar wind conditions before they reach Earth. Our guides in Finnish Lapland test the accuracy every single night.

Absolutely! Aurora Now works globally. While northern lights are primarily visible at high latitudes, our app provides forecasts for any location and will alert you whenever aurora might be visible from your position, even during strong geomagnetic storms that bring aurora to lower latitudes.

Both apps have identical features. The only difference is the pricing model. Aurora Now is a one-time purchase for lifetime access, ideal for aurora enthusiasts and people living in aurora regions. Aurora Alert is a flexible subscription (weekly or monthly), perfect for travelers who only need alerts during their trip.

Refunds are handled through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) according to their respective policies. If you're not satisfied with Aurora Now, you can request a refund within their standard refund windows. However, we're confident you'll love the app!
