My Lightning Tracker & Alerts for Positive User Reviews
✓ Excellent appI’m a photographer specializing in nature photography. I love photographing lightening and sometimes we get great opportunities here in South Texas. Thunderstorms tend to have a fairly short life cycle, so you have to be able to get out there and set up quickly. You have to be in the right place at the right time. This app is an outstanding tool for that purpose. The detection and plotting of lightening strikes is very near real time. The push notices are excellent. I love that you can set the radius for alerts and set a schedule for silencing them. Many thanks to the folks that created this. Outstanding!.Version: 2.4.0
✓ KNG ConsultingGreat preventative tool for aerial and crane use.Version: 4.1.4
✓ A very useful app !I’m a pilot and like most wingnuts we are kind of weather geeks. However this is real world , relevant intel that is pertain-able to safe operations. Took a lot of classes in college over the course of 6 years of study ( don’t laugh , I finally graduated after changing my major 3 times ). Meteorology was probably the most useful knowledge I acquired & Calculus being the least applicable info I think that I ever had to digest ( heartburn ) . Get this app and you’ll. Be surprised how much you’ll use it. Keeping the family safe during the kids outdoor sporting events, or summiting the Grand Teton in a summer afternoon. Knowing the proximity of lighting is critical. Read “ Bolt from the Blue “ and other stories of climbing and the hazards of Lighting. GREAT APP !.Version: 2.5.6
✓ What’s not to like?Been using the app for over a year now and it never fails to show lightning strikes. It’s interesting to see around the world who is having the worst storms, which I’ll be extremely jealous of as I love them!.Version: 4.1.4
✓ Great LakesI appreciate the accurate and current updates, works nicely for me.Version: 5.2.1
✓ DenCataFantastic.Version: 6.2.1
✓ Great app, missing one feature thoughSuper handy app for HSE working on a mine site, ability to track lightning and advise site. Would be extra handy having another option of ‘only notify if a strike is closer than the previous closest strike’. In the middle of a lightning storm, dropping radius to 50km still gets dozens of strikes, but the guys can continue working, yet the app consistently advises of new strikes. Having it notify of CLOSER strikes, to monitor if it’s actually getting nearer, would be handy, rather than having to open app and discover the latest alert is actually further away. Yes, I can change the radius of the notification, but this should be user oriented, not up to me to have to manually change radius after every closer strike..Version: 5.1.6
✓ Astonishingly good! The best!While this app may not be as detailed as LiveLightening, WeatherRadar or MetOfficeObservations map, it’s absolutely superb for quickly showing Weather-Lightening and Rain. The screen presentation is perfect, as is the user interface..Version: 4.1.4
✓ AmazingWhen posting is remove you there just happens to be a very strong thunderstorm and lots of warnings in my area this really helped to tell me where all the thunder and lightning was I loved how you had thunder noises to pick the notification that was really cool I chose thunder 2 this app can really help you and make sure instead of doing the location while using the app I chose always and found that you’ll get better notifications annoying if there’s actual lightning strikes with the location on always you can choose different sounds or you can choose the amount of radius you want the lightning thing to be I really enjoy this app and I really want everyone to get this app it is super amazing please get it thank you 🙂.Version: 4.1.4
✓ I love my lightening appGreat app. Easy to setup and reliable. Everything you need for lightening photography.Version: 2.3.3
✓ Get it.This app is amazing, I live in FL with frequent random thunderstorms and kids that like to swim. This app is so accurate down to the exact spot - I watched lightning hit 5 houses down and checked the app and it showed exactly where it hit and it was 400ft away from my location. Other times during a storm, I’ve received an alert then saw lightning and the app buzzed before we even heard the thunder! It’s almost instantaneous. A must have app!!.Version: 6.2.1
✓ A Really Useful AppI highly recommend this app and use it a lot. Not only is it reassuring to know that you’ll get an early warning when storms are nearby but it is great for weather forecasting to see when rain is on its way too. My only recommendation is that a wind direction on the radar map would really help in predicting the direction of the weather systems and how likely they are to impact you. In time you can watch the systems progression but it would help to know on your first viewing..Version: 4.1.6
✓ Rain on my paradeThe fixed location marker is oddly annoying due to its design! Seems to have fixed itself recently so the following info is out of date. Will leave anyway as a record. Used to work fine. Recently the rain radar does not show properly most of the time. This was the most useful feature so now the app is useless to me. Support was helpful but could not identify my fault and therefore could not fix it..Version: 6.4.10
✓ Would recommendHas been very accurate and easy to understand in all the lighting we have had the last few weeks..Version: 6.4.9
✓ Interesting and usefulNo being able to click Out of ads without closing down the app is annoying, but still a useful tool.Version: 6.3.11
✓ Nice AppApplication efficace 👍🏼.Version: 6.1.0
✓ Like itI think it’s amazingly clever how you can view lightning strikes globally. As is with every ‘free’ app I hate the ads but I guess the developer has to make money in some way! Anyway that aside being able to be an amateur meteorologist is great fun 😃.Version: 4.1.4
✓ On a par with Bliztortung!I think this app is going to give me confidence to migrate from the wonderful but clunky Bliztortung Lightning website. Your app is easier to use and I can choose how close lightening is striking the ground. Living in a remote area of France I feel that the app gives me enough leeway to prepare for a electric storm..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Every referee/ official should get this App.Very easy to read and understand. The settings for distance allow you to tailor your notices to whatever league rules are applicable. You then only get notices when lightening is within that distance. You can focus on the game and once you get your notice, it is easy to share the information too..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Beautifully executed little appWow, this really is a nice little app, well though out and designed. lots of nice little features in the settings too. Shows how well apps can be done if designed properly..Version: 2.5.6
✓ Finally I found a Lightning tracker that worksWe were due a thunderstorm the other night, and someone on Social media did a screenshot of this app. I immediately search for it and downloaded it. I’m glad I did as it is really good. Easy to use and seems to be quite accurate as well. Dot dot.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Please add split-screen multi-taskingI use this app frequently for business and it’s generally decent, but inability to snap this app to one side of the screen on iPad while doing things on the other is such a shame. I am going to look elsewhere..Version: 3.1.0
✓ LightningExcellent Application, let’s me know instantly where, when, lighting happens within Earth’s atmospheric areas precisely where, my Dog as a terrible time with thunderstorms hyperventilating generally just having a really bad time this gives me time and awareness to make things easier for my dog with the radar 50-60 miles from my home It allows me to get things in place for him even getting him on his lead quickly,I’m very grateful for this application..Version: 6.3.14
✓ Very accurate fantastic, pre-warningThe lightning app is indispensable both when I am sailing and when I am coaching outside. Being able to set the radius warning for lightning has kept myself, my students and my boat safe. I rate this app five out of five..Version: 6.4.14
✓ Most Reliable Weather AppCannot say thank you enough for providing this app for use to the public. I have horses and it’s dangerous for them to be outside when thunderstorms pop up due to the steel shoes they wear. I watch all of my weather apps religiously (both paid and free), and still it’s the Lightning app that gives me the most advanced heads up of inclement weather. More than once it’s woken me up at 2 am alerting me about an incoming storm, after putting the animals outside for the night with a 0% chance of storms from other apps. Huge thank you for this tool. It’s immensely beneficial..Version: 6.2.4
✓ I use this app all the timeI can’t remember how I discovered this app, but I find it more reliable than other weather apps by setting an alert for lightning strikes so I can know when a storm is coming, to get washing off the line or plan the rest of my day (if walking somewhere). Really useful!.Version: 5.2.0
✓ Great appUse this regularly to track incoming lightning and storm cells for work. Pretty dialed and a huge help with predicting wildfire locations.Version: 6.4.10
✓ Safety ToolWe use this app for alerting our workers in the field. We work with electrical component’s and metal structures. Very useful tool..Version: 6.4.6
✓ Very usefulMy dog is terrified of thunderstorms and needs a pill, which often doesn’t kick in for an hour or so. This has given me plenty of warning since I’ve had it. It’s made life so much easier..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Excellent AppThis is a really good and wanted it as I walk a lot and needed something to warn of Thunderstorms. When you buy the update to remove the adverts, make that you remove the free version and install the Pro version. I thought that my paid for version wasn’t working until I discovered this. I did my update via the app and there is nothing there to tell you to download the Pro version. Perhaps this is something that the update via the app should point out. Bill.Version: 4.1.4
✓ Update issueApp. Doesn’t work since last update. Please fix..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Very accurateAs a golfer, lightning on a golf course is about the most dangerous things one can encounter. Many years ago I actually saw a player struck and killed by lightning and since then, whenever there is the slightest hint of a thunder storm I’ve gone. Often this has not materialised into a storm and I could safely have continued. A couple of weeks ago I discovered this app and downloaded it. Some days later I was playing golf when I heard thunder in the far distance. Normally I would have been off the course as fast as I could. This app showed me that the storm was around eight miles to the East, was heading North and would pass by without getting any closer. I therefore continued playing. Not only was I impressed with the accuracy and information given by the app, so also were my playing partners who were so impressed, they all said they too would download it..Version: 6.4.8
✓ Can you update a mini featureFirst off an amazing app. On the iPhone can you make the notification automatically take you to the last or most recent strike when you Click on notifications. And do you have a feature to be able to know when the last strike hit. Like for an all clear after 30min....For Another notification to be integrated. Would make this the #1 app I think. Thanks..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Super lightning AppHad our first storm just after i installed it, set it with a range of 100miles had to bring down the mileage cause my phone kept alerting , I surprised at the amount of strikes there were, and logged , love the choices of thunder sounds as a alert + standard alerts, so far so (extremely) good, simple to use and to navigate with a good selection of adjustment tools, thanks for such a great simple App, It’s been a great app so far BUT! It doesn’t send a warning alert most of the time, we had quite a few strikes yesterday, I never got any audible alerts on my phone or my iPad, (Thunder 2) Checked all my settings, no issues there, seems it’s all or nothing,.Version: 6.5.5
✓ The bestI’ve used other lightning tracking apps and now deleted them. This one is well thought through, intuitive and works very well..Version: 1.8.0
✓ ExcellentGreat app, and very reliable, able to track storms and where lightning is, I tested it during a recent storm, a bolt landed east of us and within 60 seconds it came up on the app, right where it was supposed to. I love it!.Version: 6.5.4
✓ Excellent app for freeI generally don’t rate or promote apps, but this lightning app is surprisingly good for free. Gives real time lightning strikes, and better radar than the weather channel. But what was real cool is the accuracy of the GPS and map. We were hiking, came to a fork and weren’t sure which was to go. Since lightning storm was close I had the app up and it showed exactly where we were, showed the trails, showed as we moved on the trails, and showed the storm and lightning strikes. Highly recommend..Version: 4.1.5
✓ Glad I stumbled across this appWhat a lifesaver. Glad I found this tool. Paid for the pro version too. I now use this more than any other weather app. I don’t mind a little rain. I do mind lightning. If I could make one small suggestion, I’d request that verbiage such as “increasing the value” be more clear to something like “increasing the frequency.” In terms of time on the vertical scale, I perceive increasing a value in two ways; either an increase in frequency (up the scale) or an increase in number (down the scale, reduced frequency). Thanks much for saving lives!!!.Version: 6.2.4
✓ I love the appI’m a huge weather nerd. I like keeping track and up to date with the weather and just the nerdy knowledge of the stikes is fun..Version: 6.4.8
✓ Top AppWorks well within 5 minutes of a strike my pager went off enabling a quick response to a fire.Version: 2.0.3
✓ I love this app but...I really like this app, I’ve gone pro to ditch the adds too. We don’t get a lot of storms in the UK so it was more to look what’s going on further afield. Watched some cool storms on earthcams thanks to this. I do feel it’s not completely honest saying it’s worldwide as it doesn’t cover a lot of the world. Asia for example isn’t covered which I was disappointed with. Will you be rolling it out to be “worldwide”? Apart from the lack of areas covered, those that are seem to work really well..Version: 2.0.3
✓ My lightning trackerGood app, not real time though but updates regularly. Good for notifications of lightning in your prescribed area. One of the real time apps is virtually useless these days so I stick with this one now. Uk.Version: 6.4.14
✓ Very useful!It’s accurate and very useful. Gives good warning of what’s on the way and guidance regarding how long it’s going to last..Version: 4.1.6
✓ 🤩I feel like I know the weather with this app.Version: 4.1.6
✓ I can hear the thunder but doesn’t always show on the mapI can hear the thunder but doesn’t always show on the map.Version: 2.3.3
✓ FantasticBrilliant app I use it all the time plus recently added radar a fantastic idea app doesn’t take a lot of space when you download a must to own I’ve had this app a long time and no problems at all so I think it’s time to buy the pro version.Version: 2.2.0
✓ WeatherThis app is better than the television or radio forecast at least for the short term. You just know what’s coming way..Version: 6.2.4
✓ Great weather siteVery up to date, and great warning for my crews working out doors each day.Version: 6.4.8
✓ Very usefulWe live on a boat. There is nothing worse than getting woken up middle of the night when a storm is upon you. With this app we are now notified when lightning within Xkm of us. To us, this is a great safety feature..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Very helpful!!This app is great - we have dogs who are terrified of lightning and thunder, and it really helps to know that’s it’s headed our way. If storms have not been forecasted, or if we have a bright blue, sunny sky, yet a storm is just five miles away, it gives us time to get the Thundershirts out and the calming treats started! Also, we watched on the app’s map once, as lightning moved right up our street, and it’s very accurate. It said we had a strike 70ft. away in our backyard, and we sure did. The accuracy is amazing!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Awesome App!Very accurate! Able to change settings to reflect what I am interested in. Contacted the Admin and had a very quick response..Version: 6.2.4
✓ Great Ap.Love it. Very accurate and very very quick.Version: 6.4.10
✓ Very helpful for anxiety of stormsI have a pretty strong phobia of thunderstorms. I love the Lightning app because I often plan long outdoor activities and don’t want to cancel them or worry the whole time if there is a storm risk for the day. With Lightning, I can be notified in real time whenever there are strikes in the area, giving me ample time to react, and not have anxiety about planning it all out ahead of time..Version: 6.3.11
✓ Great lightning detection! Would like to see “saved location” feature!This is one of the best lightning detection apps out there! Reliable strike data, color coded time dots, and nice push notifications. I would love to see the ability to add some saved locations to the app and send push notifications based on those saved locations. You can manually turn off the auto-update location feature to have the app just fixed on one point and notify based on that point but then you lose current location notifications. Having a saved location in addition to current location would help me to monitor lightning at a sports practice location for example..Version: 2.0.3
✓ The best lightning tracker!The app allows you to customize the alert radius you desire, there are several notification sounds to choose from, and the strikes disappear from the alert radius at time frames you specify. So if your company has a policy that no outside work can occur if lightning is within 10 miles and you can’t return to work for 30 minutes after lightning has left the 10 mile radius, it’s really easy to determine. I paid for Pro to thank the developer!.Version: 2.4.2
✓ BOOM!This app has come a long way. Today I’m watching thunderstorms march across the US Midwest. With thousands of strikes shown on the screen the app started to lag… so I’m here to upgrade and check out the stability improvements! I love the lightning alerts and adjustable alert radius. I only need to remember to open the app when I’m working out of town to reset the alert location. I love being able to zoom in on a single strike to see how close it may have been to populated areas! I wish the “thunder” alert sounds were louder or more noticeable. I don’t always hear those, so I’ve been using the whistle sound. A nice crackly thunderclap should do the trick….Version: 2.0.7
✓ I love this app!This app is a life saver for someone like me, who is terrified of lightning to the point of not leaving where I am until it’s gone. I can monitor how close the lightning is and I can see when it stops, and I can see if a storm is heading in my direction. I base when I leave places on stormy days around this app. Sometimes I’ll hear a strike outside and I’ll open up this app and I’ll see exactly where it hit. I definitely recommend for anyone who loves or hates lightning, and I’m really grateful that this app exists..Version: 2.2.0
✓ GreatThis app is very good if you love weather.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Good butWorks well. For fire fighting purposes it would be great if it could show strikes over a longer time period of up to 48hrs..Version: 2.4.2
✓ SuperEnfin je cherche une app qui donne alerte en temps réel surtout dehors on veut savoir si quelque chose approche vraiment precis et en temps réel on voit ou la foudre tombe exactement.Version: 6.4.13
✓ Brilliant!I can’t stop using it. The rain radar part is so useful even when not actually using the app when for looking for lighting..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Download this appEveryone needs to have this app! Amazing, so happy I downloaded!.Version: 4.1.4
✓ WARNINGI like that warnings come up saying LIGHTNING NEAR BYE and also on settings I can make an area were it’s aloud to warn me I chose 40km.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Great Fun,in bad weather.Always know when not to take the car outside,thank you..Version: 6.3.4
✓ Great ProductI found your app when my lightning alert on another app stopped working. I downloaded and setup the app for a 35 miles radius! Today, about 3 weeks after I installed it, it alerted me to lightning just coming into range(35 miles). My radar and weather app said nothing until it was with in 10 miles!!!! I work outside and as soon as it appeared to be headed towards me, I sought shelter. A REALLY GREAT APPLICATION, I would recommend it to anyone..Version: 2.5.6
✓ Yellow and red dots. What’s the difference?Where do I find the information that explains what the red and yellow dots mean. Otherwise it’s a really interesting app and I'm very pleased to have it. NB. Thank you for contacting me so quickly and answering my question..Version: 6.2.4
✓ Very accurate producI have been interested in photographing lightening for several years. I live in West Virginia. It is difficult to determine when and where lightening is going to be during a storm due to our mountainous terrain. This app is perfect. Not only does it give me adequate location, I get it by address and distance from my current location. Game changer for me..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Lightening appI found this app in a search and thought it would benefit my service as a flight instructor...maybe. I have not been able to make it locate my position. As such, it defaults to Europe when opening. Seems to be accurate and updated in the pictorial display. Update: With a little review, I found the error is mine. This app now works great!.Version: 1.8.8
✓ Quite accurateRecently had thunderstorms near to where I live and these showed up on the app, the alert was very helpful too..Version: 1.8.11
✓ ReliableSeems like a great reliable app, I am scared of lightning and always take cover when it’s around, with this I can track it if I’m playing golf or walking etc...Version: 4.1.4
✓ Animated maps not goodDon’t like the new animated maps. Slider takes up too much space on screen. Had considered purchasing but not now. Also sorry very much appreciate the app is free but the new full screen advertising banner is very obtrusive!.Version: 6.0.1
✓ OkGood app except for the most intrusive adds getting in the way of up to date info..Version: 6.4.6
✓ Dave McMahonI’m very impressed with this app. Being a member of the Rfs I think this will be an extremely useful and essential tool in the up and coming fire season.Version: 3.1.1
✓ KeeperGreat app does everything and more so far all the notifications for lighting strikes have been spot on.Version: 4.1.4
✓ A Must for any storm chaser!!This is an awesome app! Always works, extremely accurate, easy to use…. Definitely worth having..Version: 4.1.4
✓ StrikeAimerait avoir la distance de l’éclair par rapport à notre emplacement.⚡️⚡️⚡️.Version: 4.1.4
✓ Very useful appI live remotely in north western Ontario and have to say this is an excellent app for safety purposes. Hope it remains free and you get support from the government to keep it that way. Safety is an important when you are in the forest or on the lake. Thanks.Version: 4.1.4
✓ Saving my sanityI love my lightning app I suffer from astraphobia and knowing just how close lightning is striking gives me some relief.Version: 5.2.0
✓ Useful little appInteresting to see the direction a storm is moving in. Good to be able to adjust the range and frequency of notifications. Very useful for outdoor activities.Version: 2.3.3
✓ MarvellousThis app does everything required. It locates and notifies on a map where and how close the lightning is. With a range out to 300km + this app shows the history of the strikes and the direction of the storm. Great if you are outdoors and within cell range..Version: 1.7.3
✓ ObsessedI check this app continually during storms..Version: 6.2.3
✓ MapThe mapping you are using is a few years old, maybe older. The app itself works great otherwise. A really great tool!!.Version: 6.2.1
✓ 👍Awesome! Works great!.Version: 6.2.0
✓ Suggestions:App is great don’t get me wrong, but the radar, doesn’t even work most of the time and that’s predominantly why I got the app, due to it being able to predict the radar for the future. Please fix this annoying issue.Version: 6.3.2
✓ Seems like a game changer … more control would be nice…This has the potential to really increase safety for outdoor activities- great! -fumbled around in settings for a while and thought I would like to see some more options with respect to controlling the notifications and when the app is running in the background … a simple toggle on the main screen to turn monitoring and notifications on / off would suit my use for outdoor activities (climbing and mountaineering) instead of between certain hours of every day — maybe I am missing something.Version: 4.1.4
✓ LightningI absolutely love the idea of having the app so that you can see where the lightning strikes are and where they are going.Version: 6.5.6
✓ AccurateThis helps me find out which direction the Thunderstorms are coming from and where it’s hitting. It seems pretty accurate to me since it matches things in real life.Version: 6.4.8
✓ Try now! You don’t regret itI’ve tried several apps and this is the best out there. If you are fascinated by weather. Get this app. Well worth it!!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Adds are annoyingGreat app but the adds are a pain.Version: 6.5.2
✓ Letting me know when not to be outside!!This app is so informative when I am at the cottage at Buffalo Pound Lake in Saskatchewan, Canada!! Strikes nearby mean I forget about mowing the lawn or standing on a boat dock wetting a line! This app is always active and has been most useful in the spring of 2022!!.Version: 6.1.0
✓ Fantastic app while at work or home the best to be ahead of the weatherSo good thank you so much.Version: 6.5.5
✓ Fantastic alert for animal ownersOur dog is extremely terrified of storms. This app lets me know of storm activity so I can get home to put our dog inside..Version: 6.5.10
✓ New ZealandI like it because it tells me when there is lightning my way thank you very much.Version: 6.1.0
✓ Quick Reflexes by the App!The app txtd me and said lightning spotted nearby, do you want to open the app? How cool is that!.Version: 6.3.12
✓ My go to appReliable and informative.Version: 6.5.5
✓ My opinion on the appI’m only 13 but this app is very easy to navigate through and use. I really like the design and user friendliness. I like watching the weather and the app has helped me get some spectacular pictures of lightning and storm clouds! I highly recommend this app👍.Version: 5.1.4
✓ Love it!I like it! I love it! It's one of the best lightening apps there is. When I'm playing another app this lightening app will let me know via a pop out window when there is lightening in my area without me having to leave my game or what I am doing in another app, this is so handy and convenient to have. Thank you for a terrific and handy app! I love it. It will be staying on my iPad indefinitely..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Nice app!It seems much more accurate than NBC 12’s here near Richmond, VA; the radar colors are much brighter, too. I wish it had is a “past/future/past and future” slide play radar option, and maybe a longer timeline than fifteen minutes. Great app! Thank you!.Version: 6.4.14
✓ I have no idea how this worksBut it works and the accuracy and timing are incredible, obsessed with this App during hurricane season.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Amazing for my dogI have a dog that gets very anxious about thunder and her medication takes 30-40 mins to take affect. The fact that this sends alerts to me means I can get her calmed down before it even hits. Such a good idea!.Version: 3.3.0
✓ ReviewLightning tracker is a great app for work and or pleasure..Version: 6.2.3
✓ Awesome app must haveI love knowing if theirs a storm about and can be pre warned if ones coming close.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Updated review (was: Latest update is broken)Update: the developer responded to this review to let me know that there was a temporary issue that caused a disruption. I got the sense it was a problem external to the app. It seems to be fine now and I give high marks for the developer that took time to respond. Previous 1 star review text follows...This used to be reliable, but the latest update seems to have completely broken it. Will alert me, but not show me lightning strikes on the map. Then it hangs when I try to select my location. If I move the map and then relocate myself (when I can get that feature to work) it will then show strikes. Kind of useless now..Version: 2.0.7
✓ AccurateI love being able to ride my horse knowing that the lightning is ......... km away.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Works wellExcellent design, waiting to see some local lightning..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Michael WhiteI’ve been enjoying this app for about a year from the perspective of one who photographs lightning. It does a good job of alerting me of local lightning strikes. The recent addition of radar is a big help. The only things I could ask for is a 15, 30, 60 minute playback to better see where it’s coming from and where it’s going. Otherwise, best lightning related app!.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Great Sailing AppWe have been using this app while sailing for several seasons. Extremely happy with it. It has granted us the forewarning of lightning that might be blowing our direction. We’ve always been able to safely avoid lightning because of this app. Sailboats tend to come equipped with a thirty+ foot lightning rod, making lightning warning extremely important. I never want to be on the water without it. Also, this season we just realized that it has radar also. It’s nice to switch to the radar function to see what’s coming up, but we have been extremely happy with being able to choose a diameter with for lightning tracking..Version: 6.4.14
✓ Great appHas a good range and allows for distance changes..Version: 6.5.6
✓ Always on point.Very accurate and always reliable. A must have ..Version: 6.3.9
✓ Highly recommended notification !I really like the thunder notifications when there is an indication or lightning within my area . It is the work horse for us at public events , or when I’m camping ! I also work in the public safety arena and it gives up a heads up when we are outside ..Version: 6.4.6
✓ Must have if you get struck by lightning oftenAs someone who has metal plates in their body and humans are 80% water i am a lightning magnet that’s been struck many times. Thanks to Lightning Tracker I can now avoid possible death by lightning strike. Best app to avoid being hit by Thor’s hammer….Version: 6.5.2
✓ Very usefulI enjoy capturing low frequency radio clicks from lightning strikes, photographing lighting, and am hoping to attempt sprite observation this summer. The radar maps in this app are tremendously useful for all of these endeavors. The app does ALMOST everything I want it to. My only suggestion would be to add the ability to be notified of lightning strikes in an alternate area besides just your current location. As per the previously mentioned sprite observation, it would be useful to be notified of thunderstorms within a certain corridor to the east of my location. That way, when combined with clear sky condition notifications from AstroSpheric for my observing locations (east of the Rockies, looking out over the plains), I can know when my best chances of actually spotting sprites will be happening..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Reliable lightning alert app but could use a little tweakingThis app for seeing detected and getting alerted of real-time lightning strikes is pretty good and actually does its job alerting you about them for the most part through push notifications. And the alerting time interval and radial distance settings are also a very good and useful +. But, I really wish that the push notifications alert messages would also include the DISTANCE of the nearest / latest strike instead of just displaying that lightning was detected. Then, the alerting aspect would be A Lot more useful if this was also included every time the app is set to alert you, despite the radial distance set from the location. This is because I'd want to know how close the latest strike is. Especially if the storm(s) is moving toward set location for push alerts..Version: 2.0.7
✓ My lightning tracker mlsThis works very well and in a timely manner as I work on a USAF flight line that gets plenty of lightning. It is better to know immediately if you need to take shelter rather than seeing how well you can take a lightning zap. I really like this application and use it all the time. 5 September 2023: still depend on this application, hasn’t let me down, get this one, it alerts as and when you need it to..Version: 6.4.14
✓ Simple and effectiveThis app is not cool. There is nothing exciting about it instead it just works. It’s simple accurate and enables people who live in places where thunderstorms are possible everyday during no summer etc. to work safely through rainstorms. NLSI recommends stopping work for 30 minutes if lightning strikes within 6 mi of you. This simple app takes the guesswork out of enforcing this policy. With the zoom to nearest strike function you simply open the app and it shows you the nearest strike and distance from you. App has radar function and map choice options but that’s it perfect simple I wish more apps were designed to function simply effectively and efficiently and not try to do everything and have too many options. Thank you guys.Version: 4.1.4
✓ Brilliant App!I just want to start off by saying I absolutely love Thunder & Lightning especially when it’s shooting down with rain. I find it relaxing, only when I’m not in it! So to be able to track it, makes my day! This app is just amazing and so accurate! The app has 3 options. 1) Latest 2) Hotspots 3) Radar The Latest option allows you to see the latest areas the Thunder/Lightning has hit. The Hotspots option allows you to see where the Thunder/Lightning is most active. The Radar option allows you to track the Thunder/Lightning and where it’s travelling. So, I highly recommend this app. You really won’t be disappointed..Version: 6.2.1
✓ BEST THING EVERI have a massive phobia of thunderstorms which really impact my life and the ability to go outside and even drive. This app has allowed me to regain control of the unknown of a thunderstorm and be able to track where it moves. This is the best app ever for anyone with a fear of thunderstorms!!.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Great tool for work.We have to shut down at work when lightning is within 20 miles of work site due to Heavy Equipment operations. This app is a reliable tool that we use to verify storms in our vicinity. Takes the guess work out of it..Version: 4.1.6
✓ Very accurateI’m not one to write reviews but figured I might as well put it in writing since I’ve told so many people. I downloaded this app once moving to Florida (with all these crazy summer Florida lighting storms like I’ve have never seen before) and I go into the pool and hot tub very regularly which is why I looked for app for lighting. This app has been correct every single time. When I hear my phone go off with the warning you betcha I get out of the pool..Version: 4.1.6
✓ Most accurate location I have foundOther apps are miles off sometimes. I have found this app to be dead on every tome I use it. Would give it 5 stars if I could enter a number in for the radius. It’s frustrating to dial in on the exact number I need for the radius..Version: 2.5.6
✓ Suggested by a friendOver wintering in Greece it was suggested I get this app for a warning of incoming storms. I was pleased when watching a storm come down the Albanian coast it arrived within minutes of the suggested / predicted time by the app Excellent choice for those needing information on storms for whatever reason chasing or protecting.Version: 2.0.2
✓ FantasticI found this app through google as I was wanting to know about the storm we were having. It’s SO easy to use & understand I wish I’d of found it sooner especially as you get notification of a strike is a certain distance away which I must add can be set to your choice. Not only does it show you the lightening strikes it has a satellite view of the current weather, really handy if you think the storm or rain is over or if it’s just a gap in the clouds. I’m so impressed with this I’d recommend it to anybody..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Saving lives and stealing wives.Relax, I just wanted to get your attention. This app is an such an invaluable tool. Also, I’ve waited several years of using this app before writing my review. So if you live in an area like Washington State specifically in areas like mine. It’s the high desert with multiple types of thick vegetation and dense forests. Well occasionally we have storms producing dry lighting. Our problem is that we are a state that has poor forest management and limited resources. I said all that to say this. I’m pretty thankful for the app. It’s accurate to the point that we have responded to lightning strikes before dispatch even notified us of the fire it caused. This happened more than once, saving property as well as limiting the amount of resources it would normally take for such fires. Sköl, app developers! I appreciate you..Version: 6.1.0
✓ One of my favouritesI have a dog that is reactive to storms. This app helps me so much. It gives me lightening warnings at a distance from home set by me. We can then monitor throughout the storm. It is also so interesting to look at different parts of the State, Country, World and see the amazing amount of lightening going on. One of my favourite apps..Version: 2.1.1
✓ GreatExcellent app.Version: 6.4.10
✓ A Must Have! Intuiative & AccurateI use this app at home & professionally. I am Wildland Firefighter / Paramedic and also work as a Paramedic with Remote Exploration Crews. “My Lightening Tracker” is invaluable. I have use other weather Apps that work quite well but “My Lightening Tracker” is the best for tracking lightning. It is my “go to” to keeps my family, crews & me safe. I use it to track potential wildfire starts after storms because the accuracy has proven itself time and time again. I used the free Version for a long time, but the $3.99 for “Pro” has been money well spent! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!.Version: 6.5.10
✓ Its nice to be informedMy dogs get so nervous when thunderstorms approach.Version: 6.2.1
✓ Thankyou lightening tracker peopleHandy for keeping an eye on local possible fire activity due to lightening, am a firefighter in the country , lightening without rain must be monitored, this app magic cheers.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Great app that could use some minor adjustmentsReally love this app. It’s been great to track storms moving through the area, especially if I’m working in the field. I have noticed that sometimes it shows very few lightning strikes compared to actual strikes and I usually have to reboot the app to get a more accurate view. I also wish there was a way to zoom in to the most recent strike; not just the closest. I’d like to see if the storm is increasing in intensity or decreasing. Other than that, it’s a great app and I’d highly recommend it..Version: 4.1.4
✓ A must it will never disappoint !!!!A great addition to cyclone season as you can track the storms and predict its route to take pictures and to see the amazing lightning strikes.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Easy to use, understand and be alertedThe app is easy to use. The strike location points change color based on age which makes clear where the most recent activity is. It was useful the following night when some storms were cruising by at a distance and I setup my tripod and cam to get some shots from the balcony. I would have missed it otherwise. Not considered in the rating as the radar feature is new. Radar is presented as static current view (no animation of recent movement). Some of the tiles don’t load and with no refresh button I can’t force it to reload it easily. I just bought the paid version to support the app dev and remove the ads..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Very usefulGreat information on weather and as a bonus helps with seeing the storms for my dog who is terrified of them.Version: 6.4.8
✓ Great appGreat app. Always spot on with lightning strikes in the area you choose..Version: 6.5.3
✓ Lightning DetectionI will keep track what had happened during these extreme weather events and I will be used to that in the Australia, in the outback in places like Alice Springs in the Australia’s Northern Territory are tracking storms hit in the summer months while it is winter here and lightning strikes can be bad hit the areas of NT in the Australian outback. There are so lightning strikes in the Lasseter district , in the areas like in Yulara, in the township near Uluru has places hit hard during storms with the most cloud to ground lightning strikes hit the area and take precautions to be safe during a lightning storm. Lightning is one of the most powerful forces of nature and it is very dangerous when lightning strikes. Please be careful aware of severe thunderstorms hit the area in the Northern Territory, Australia..Version: 6.5.9
✓ Works wellJust installed this app a couple days ago and seems to work quite well..Version: 4.1.4
✓ Push notifications not workingHad the app open during a thunderstorm. Watched the map update with nearby strikes. Never received a notification of lightning in the area. I adjusted the radius multiple times but no change. Unable to report a problem because the link isn’t working. Update: notifications don’t sound when the app is open. Since I left my original review I’ve had to reset my phone and change some settings. The next storm came through and I received several notifications. I work outside so it is extremely helpful having this app to stay safe. Thanks for the app!.Version: 2.0.8
✓ Merci pour ce super programe. MerciTrès bien merci!.Version: 6.1.0
✓ GoodIt lets me know before I’m aware of the lightning but sometimes it will say that it is nearby about 30minutes after it has started.Version: 4.1.6
✓ Sue.Let’s me know when I have to get my dog’s medicine before the thunderstorm comes. Great help. Thank you..Version: 6.4.7
✓ Excellent appOnly improvement I can think of, is if the app could show the direction of clouds/storm, but regardless of that 10/10.Version: 5.2.0
✓ Bad performanceThanks! Seems to be working well now. Appreciated your quick response..Version: 1.7.8
✓ Awesome app. Super accurateHighly recommend.Version: 6.2.3
✓ Going down a storm.That’s how much grandkids react to my Lightening Finder. The excitement when we get an alert, is it coming? Where will it hit? Did it hit my school? Fun for all ages. I believe it to be accurate as I have both been alerted and seen a nearby strike..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Spot onAs I am in RFSA it great to see where the strikes are how far away & the hits are thank you for a great app.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Great little appThis is a really nice app, a fascinating example of how real time data can get delivered to your phone and inform you..Version: 6.4.7
✓ A MUST have app for the stormy south!I down loaded this app few years ago to utilize during the summer time to watch for lightning within a certain mileage when swimming in a swimming pool here in Florida. I love that I get notifications to get out of the water within 10 miles. The only thing about this app that seems a but far-fetched is the accuracy of an actual lightning strike. how they can exactly pinpoint where a strike occurs? Overall is an Awesome app and I utilize it along with my other weather tracking apps frequently during the summertime storm season👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.Version: 6.3.11
✓ Totally Awesome AppI’m able to track approaching storms as far out as I want to, but I keep it to around 8 miles out. The lightning strikes are almost real-time. It has became a vital part of our local public radio station. I rely on this app to tell me how close the lighting strikes are to the station. Very good app if you want real-time accuracy of the storms approaching your area..Version: 2.5.5
✓ I’m ImpressedUsed the app for five minutes and I’m sold. I bought the Pro version just because I think they’ve done such a great job with this app. Been looking for something like this for years - simple, straightforward, gets the job done. Find out where lightning is, how close, what time, and get notifications. Everything I’ve wanted. Thank you. Enjoy your bonus $ for a job well done..Version: 6.2.3
✓ Great app. The mileage could be more controllable.The app is great, but I with you could type in the number for the settings of the distance for the alert. There is a specific distance that is important to my job, and it would be great to be able to set one alert for just outside that distance and one for that actual distance, but it is difficult to get the numbers right on the slider..Version: 6.4.10
✓ AccurateSeems to be the most accurate app for showing lighting strikes around my area over the others around. Also like the notifications of strikes in area and the notifications are not to far behind the event.Version: 2.4.2
✓ My thoughtsGreat little app that I got to track lighting but so much more than that. Fab up to date rain radar is very useful for planning walks, event or even a bbq. Love my go to weather app.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Very accurate!Buzzes your phone when lightning or severe weather is about 1km away from your location.Version: 6.4.10
✓ Works great with one exceptionFirst this app is great for detecting lightning and yes it does cover Canada. I use it for hiking and boating as well as during search and rescue work as a volunteer. The one area where the app could be greatly improved is with a dynamic radar function. Right now all you get is a static radar image with no indication of the direction a storm is moving. Cross referencing with a weather app fills in the gap but it would be nice to have a radar image that both showed recent strikes and the direction of a storm..Version: 4.1.3
✓ Love it!Works great, feels great..Version: 4.1.2
✓ I’m a grown manStill terrified by lightening… it’s like saving Private Ryan a good hit you at any moment. But this gives us reasonable piece of mind at least..Version: 6.3.15
✓ Love it!I have always been super fascinated in thunderstorms. This tracker is the best I’ve come across. It alerts you when lightning is near, it shows where they are most likely to strike, the clouds, and more. Most of the time, the clouds and strikes don’t fully load. So, it’s hard to tell where to look for strikes. But that’s the only problem I have ever had with this app but trust me, it’s still worth it..Version: 6.4.1
✓ ScaffoldingI had some scaffolding put up whilst painting my house and in variable weather was concerned about lightning. This app is excellent at providing an early warning for strikes that are coming your way and I actually came down from my scaffolding at one point due to an alert. This is an excellent app which I can highly recommend..Version: 5.1.5
✓ Great appBeen using it a few years now and i love it, great for checking the weather for rain coverage. Seems very accurate for lightning and distance, great fun for those who love a good storm, great warning for those that don’t. Unfortunately we haven’t had enough good storms this year (any chance u could do something about that). The app runs fine, wouldn’t change anything. Even the AD version doesn’t harass you with rubbish too often. But I would recommend supporting the app they’re doing a great job.Version: 4.1.6
✓ Love this tracker - absolute pinpoint precisionI use this app frequently when there are storms nearby. It’s fascinating to track exactly where that huge flash of lightening nearby actually was, especially if you have livestock you are concerned about..Version: 1.8.11
✓ Lights up my lifeWork on a mine site. Have all my crew download app. Often lights up before we get offical alerts.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Great app!Great app. Just wish there was an option to get rid of ads..Version: 6.5.3
✓ LifesaverAs someone who is terrified of lightning and walks often with my dogs, this app is a godsend. It has been great with the recent heat and thundery weather. I get notified when lightning is within 20 miles and I can look where it is on a map and watch it’s movement. Great stuff! 👍🏼.Version: 6.2.4
✓ UsefullIf you work outside, this apps is usefull and very precise..Version: 2.6.1
✓ JackI am a volunteer firefighter driver and the app let’s me know in advance even before my pager goes off. Lightning strikes are the main cause of fires in my area. 👍.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Love itI’ve looked for an app that tracks lightning for a while , love this app … I only hav it and use it because it’s free also lol.Version: 6.2.3
✓ Easy to read warnings even without GPSThis app provides warnings about lightning nearby. I didn’t want to kill my battery and have my location and use all the time so I disabled the location monitoring for this app except for when the app was in use. Even without having the app open, I still get a notification of lightning nearby. If I want my information I can get into the app and see what is specific but even without having app open the information is good..Version: 2.0.1
✓ QuestionWhere can I find the key to markers on the map? What is green dot etc?.Version: 6.5.6
✓ Baseball safetyI am an assistant coach with a little league team in the cooler Georgia. We enjoyed getting the boys out to play ball but are also very careful to and sure that they are kept safe. This app allows us to manage game times and plan around springtime thunderstorms. Some of the fields we play on have automatic lightning detection systems installed but for those that don’t this app is a lifesaver..Version: 2.0.3
✓ VERY COOL & SUGGESTIONLove this app it’s super useful and really cool to see lightning happening in real time! Small suggestion would be to make this app an Audio Unit & IAA for experimental musicians & people into modular where each lighting strike is sent out as midi data that music, visualizer, or generative apps could connect with and use to create in sync with lighting happening. Regardless I love the app and am happy to have it. Thanks so much :).Version: 4.1.3
✓ WonderfulLove this app. Good to know when a storm is coming..Version: 3.2.1
✓ QuakeFeedExcellent app but be aware it doesn’t show Canadian forest fires.Version: 6.2.3
✓ ExcellentReally like this app. The radar option is very useful to see whether the rain will stop or start soon..Version: 6.3.2
✓ Really helpfulWorking in remote areas this app is great for inclement weather which you do not always see rolling in..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Best lighting tracker there is!!I am a Ham Radio Operator, this app gives me the perfect live data I need to know when to disconnect my antennas. The adjustable settings for lighting alerts is simply amazing. I leave mine set at 30 miles, that’s plenty of time to see the alert and be able to disconnect antennas, you can set it from 0-200 miles for your preference. Being able to zoom in and out around the world and see what a storm is doing somewhere else is a interesting feature in this app. Being able to click on individual strikes to see the distance from your location is a great feature as well. Only time this feature has bothered me is when it said 30ft HIHI. If you need a accurate live lighting map that allows all these features for free this is the one..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Fabulous AppI have had this app since I got another iPhone a few years back. Granted I Do have some crazy Luck in the electronics aisle. I also was in it so much that it wasn’t even for a Real good reason and blowing money but getting phones regularly for some strange stroke of luck that followed Me around. But, since I have this iPhone, we and my lightening app are great together. It’s interesting to have. Jenn.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Excellent, very accurateSeems to be very accurate and no annoying pop ups..Version: 4.1.4
✓ Great little app for storm chasingI really like this app! I’m a storm chasing photographer, this is a handy app for tracking the movement of storms through my area. The only improvement I’d like to see is a longer history period, 1 hour is not enough to allow someone to track the progress of a storm system, just me 2 cents..Version: 2.0.2
