Application Description
Aurora Notifier is an app that utilizes Firebase Cloud Messaging to send notifications about the possibility of witnessing the Northern Lights. Users can customize notifications for local aurora probability, Kp-index, solar wind parameters, and Kp-level forecasts for the evening. Additionally, the app allows users to be alerted when other nearby app users have witnessed the auroral light display.
