Ratings and reviews

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.

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!

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.
