A very helpful and lightweight app. Approaching electric storms will trigger a notification in the form of a thunder noise and a short vibration of the device. Highly recommended.

Still not getting any Notifications in the day or nighttime. When I open the app its accurate same goes for the widget. Developer has been in contact with me, quick response👍 unfortunately no advice on getting notifications started I have paid to remove the adds and put the widget in a prominent position on my home screen

It's a great app but from time to time I have to reinstall it because it either malfunctioning or there's no lightning even if there is a thunderstorm nearby.
