The navigation
We improve the navigation by grouping the main features into each screens. It will be easier for you to find all the features and all the information that is available on the app.
Charts
We added charts for the aurora strength, BZ, BT, solar wind, and solar density, this will help you to see the evolution of each real-time data over a short amount of time. It's very handy to understand if you are in the middle of a big bang of aurora, or if the trend is going back to normal.
Settings
The new settings screen will help you to configure range of notifications. Many who live in Norway and Sweden have asked for it and it's now available for everyone. You can now define a range of kilometer and you will only receive notifications that are within this range.
