Ratings and reviews

Fantastic App. I hope latest version has fixed the problem of reliable notifications when lightening is approaching, which historically has been intermittent. Latest version 3.3.3 has new minor problem where upper left display of distance to nearest lightening now reverts to km, not imperial miles,, regardless of setting. But overall this is a wonderful app to notify you of nearby lightening storms. Highly recommended, with a few minor bugs.

It works well and was the only one of its kind I could find (that works) that doesn't require GPS and allows me to enter (and save) multiple different locations. I need to monitor places 1400–2200 miles from where I live. It has a setting for alerts for any/all locations. However, in 2–3 yrs of using it I don't think I've ever actually gotten a notification. I monitor weather for these locations via another app and open this when I need it. Wish list: more locations in database, notifications.

Almost cool, but there is limited direction on the app and no settings. The visual is very good with the lighting flashing on the screen. However, the loading time often makes you think it's frozen. I am unsure if you're notified of lightening strikes close to your location. Seems like this is very close to being very good, but not yet.
