Ratings and reviews

A great idea, but: the app is taking a severely cropped image at 22:9 ratio on my Pixel 8 without a possibility to change it, thus cutting off a third of the frame area, which is damn important for lightning photography. I would appreciate at least some settings of the picture format and quality... Once implemented, I would gladly buy a premium for 3-4 EUR, instead of seeing the adds.

I pointed it at the sky during a storm with frequent clear lightning with both default and the maximum sensitivity, and then the quadrants thing. Not a single capture, but I did get a bunch of plain sky photos. Very disappointing, got wet for nothing. edit: almost forgot to mention the shady thousand or so cookies you're expected to swallow. So it wants to spy on you AND doesn't do the job.

Despite claims to detect lightning in quadrants, a half a dozen attempts resulted in not one single image. the advertising interferes with the use of the app. Full screen adds that completely block the app. There are better options that put advertising on the screen but don't stop you from using the app. Don't recommend.
