Aurora Best app to spot auroras?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I read there’s a certain chance to see auroras in Central / Northern Europe tonight. That article mentioned apps for aurora forecasting.

Does anyone have an opinion or recommendation on the best app I could use? (Don’t have much experience / deep knowledge so I won’t need superduper fancy analytics functionality or so). Appreciate your feedback! 🌌

Just fyi the apps I found were

  • AuroraAlerts

  • AuroraReach

  • SpaceWeatherLive

  • Hello Aurora

  • My Aurora Forecast
