Aurora Forecast watches space weather over saved places without accounts. Favorite spots with KP thresholds plus short-term and long-term forecasts persist in local app storage. Solar wind data streams per view.
That makes favorites the migration unit, rebuilt by hand on new phones. Exact folder names may vary by version. KP 5+ with clear skies starts the real chase; anything less stays photographic. Moon phase affects visibility nightly. Short-term view beats daily outlooks. Southern lights mirror the same physics.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set aurora alerts?
Star the viewing spots and set KP thresholds per place with quiet hours. Push alerts fire when activity crosses the line. Cloud cover matters as much as KP; check both.
Do favorites transfer to a new phone?
No. Favorites stay per install without accounts by design. Screenshot spots before switching phones and re-star them manually. Forecasts stream live regardless.
