Aurora Forecast & Alerts Now
Terms of Use
Effective 2026-11-06
1. The agreement
Aurora Forecast & Alerts Now (“the app”) is licensed to you under Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Apple's standard EULA). These terms add to it. If the two conflict, Apple's standard EULA applies. The app is made by Swapnil Jain (“we”, “us”).
2. Forecasts are estimates
Every chance, verdict (“Go”, “Maybe”, “Stay in”), forecast and alert in the app is an estimate. It is computed by our own model from NOAA aurora data, darkness and Apple Weather cloud cover. Aurora is hard to predict and local conditions change fast.
- We do not guarantee that you will see the aurora, that a forecast is accurate, or that an alert will be sent or arrive on time.
- Alerts depend on third-party data (NOAA, Apple Weather), on Apple's notification service, on your phone's settings, and on our server. Any of these can be late or unavailable.
3. Your safety
Do not rely on the app for safety decisions, especially in remote, cold or dark places. Aurora watching often means night driving, ice, snow, extreme cold, wildlife and no phone signal. Check official weather, road and avalanche information, dress for the cold, tell someone where you are going, and never drive or stop where it is unsafe because of anything the app shows. You are responsible for your own safety.
4. Aurora Pro
Some features need Aurora Pro:
- Aurora Pro Weekly: $4.99 per week, auto-renewing subscription.
- Aurora Pro Yearly: $29.99 per year, auto-renewing subscription.
- Aurora Pro Lifetime: $49.99, one-time purchase that does not renew.
Prices are in US dollars and may differ in other countries; the price shown in the app before you buy is the one that applies.
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- A subscription renews automatically at the same length and price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
- Manage or cancel in the Settings app: tap your name, then Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Aurora Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
- Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies: reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Use Restore Purchases in the app to bring Aurora Pro back on a new or reset device signed in with the same Apple Account.
5. Data sources
Aurora data comes from the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. Weather comes from Apple Weather (data sources). The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center does not endorse the app.
6. Acceptable use
Use the app only for lawful purposes. Do not misuse the app or its alert server, for example by sending automated requests, trying to get alerts without a valid purchase or interfering with the service.
7. Changes and availability
We may change, add or remove features, and we may update these terms. We will change the effective date above when we do. If you keep using the app after a change, the new terms apply.
8. Liability
We work to keep the app accurate and available, but we do not promise it will be error-free or always available. To the extent the law allows, the app is provided “as is”, and we are not liable for any loss or harm that comes from relying on a forecast, a verdict, an alert or a missing alert, as also set out in Apple's standard EULA.
