Welcome to Hello Aurora!

We're thrilled you're curious about our app! Hello Aurora started in 2019 as a passion project by just two people, right from our living room in Reykjavík, Iceland. We're massive Northern Lights enthusiasts ourselves, and we know firsthand how tough it can be to find reliable aurora forecasts. That frustration sparked an idea: to create something truly special for others who share our passion.

Our goal is simple: to make aurora hunting as easy and fun as possible. We’ve been constantly improving the app, and today, Hello Aurora is trusted by over two hundred thousand users worldwide—both locals and tourists—who love the Northern Lights as much as we do.

We genuinely hope you'll join our growing community of aurora enthusiasts and discover how incredibly helpful Hello Aurora can be. If you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to contact us. Your feedback help improving the app.
