I love this app! I use it as an alert method to notify me of lightning storms in a larger town about 30 miles from where I live. It's on lake Superior and the lightning shows are incredible and I enjoy taking pics whenever I can. This app gives me real time alerts to strikes within any radius I set. It's less of a safety thing, more of a personal hobby tool for me. I also have a portable lightning detector that claims to detect up to 40 miles, but it misses many. The app is king for notification

Great and timely app. Would like to see historical strikes that go back beyond just 60 minutes. Thanks for animating the radar! Update: recent update took away the radar animation slider. The settings still have the ability to show or hide but it's no longer on the main screen. Please look into this. Update: fixed!

I think this is a great app. A couple of things I would suggest. First, if you try to change location, you delete the previous saved location. It would really be nice if you could save more than one location, especially if you are not at home. Second, I would like it if the notifications could state which direction the lightning was detected (e.g. northwest, west, southeast). It would give an idea if the storm is heading towards or away from the location. Otherwise, it works very well.
