About this app

Zoom Alerts tells you when and where the best moments for nature photography will happen. Before they do.

The app predicts photogenic phenomena across Europe: aurora, fog, colourful sunrises and sunsets, sea sparkle along the coast, the Milky Way, meteor showers, noctilucent clouds and thunderstorms. Live measurements (weather stations, NOAA solar wind, water temperatures) are combined with model forecasts and translated into a clear photography score per phenomenon.

- Discover tab: tonight's best photo chance at a glance
- Smart alerts: only a message when it is truly worth it, with quiet hours and adjustable thresholds per phenomenon
- Forward-looking maps for all of Europe: rain (real radar plus a forecast up to 10 hours), fog (measured visibility plus a forecast up to 12 hours), thunderstorms by the hour, cloud cover, light pollution and dark-sky spots
- Wildlife: recent sightings near you, across Europe
- Camera advice: suggested settings per phenomenon
- AR compass: point your camera at the sky to see where the sun and moon rise, travel and set
- Fully bilingual: Dutch and English, following your device language automatically

Made for photographers in the Netherlands and far beyond.
