| 2024-12-12 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-12-06 |  | | 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 responseš 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 |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | A most useful app. I am amazed at how many times I refer to it. Brilliant work. Wrote this in 2020 still love this app, 4 years later. An excellent accurate app. |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | This is one of the most crazy accurate app I've ever seen. It's detects lightning better than my phone detects Bluetooth devices š |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | Always battling to get the accurate lightning kilometer distance. Always show 100km away on all areas. I have to reset and reinstall the app continuously. Which is very frustrating. I did report this error on numerous occasions. |
| 2024-10-27 |  | | We have used this for years now. Works wonderful. Would be nice to add other ringtones and sounds for the alert. |
| 2024-09-02 |  | | Id give it a 5 BUT, for a couple of reasons. 1, it continually keeps telling me a lightning strike is x km away. Why not miles?? Dont see any option to convert or change it. And 2, when doing a search i put in my zip code and it does nothing. I even tried the name of my town and nothing populated up. Although i did see it worked because i allowed the app to search by gps. I like the app. But cmon update to miles, SOON! |
| 2024-07-16 |  | | This is a great app for anyone needing to check proximity of lighting. Be it out on the water fishing or jobsites that have a lighting stand down radius. The only upgrade or add on I would like is a 50 miles radius added outside the 31. A few major companies have gone recently from a 30 to a 50 mile stand radius. And motion radar, being able to see the strom track movement. |
| 2024-07-14 |  | | excellent app if you're wondering where the lightning is coming from and how far away it is. also fun to watch where lightning is across the country. seems fairly accurate. Update. 7/12/24 It shows my location as Letcher (hist...). I'm not a letcher, at least I don't think so, but have not found a way to change it. |
