About Carrington
Named after the Carrington Event of 1859—the most powerful solar storm in recorded history—this app helps you understand and monitor the space weather that shapes our technological world. That historic storm caused telegraph systems to spark and fail worldwide. Scientists estimate Carrington-class events occur roughly once every 100-150 years, meaning we're statistically overdue after 167 years. A similar event today could disrupt satellites, power grids, and communications globally.
Whether you're a citizen scientist, space enthusiast, amateur radio operator, or aurora chaser, Carrington gives you the tools to participate in space weather science—not just observe it.

When will it work?
I’m inquiring about when the Carrington alerts will be back. It’s been a number of weeks with no access to them, no notifications, and just a notice updates are coming. I just get a blank white screen when accessing that option. Turned them off then on per instructions with no change. Not sure we’re interested renewingr the app at this point. Thanks in advance for your response and information

Junk App. Unresponsive support.
I used to enjoy using this app. However, after writing them indicating that the main splash screen has been the same one that has been for several months. There was no response from support. Make sure you make the right session before paying for this app. It says it has huge updates ahead. But that’s being posted for a while. I’ve been paying for this app. Getting very disappointed and its functionality. Choose your purchase wisely.
