A superb lightning tracker with a programmable alarm that can be set to a threshold at any distance from your geographical location. The historical data going back to 24 hours is fantastic as one can track the progression of storms. I can't praise this app enough. Well done devs, I know that this is a hobby product of yours and you make no profit from it. -Thank you!

25% of my battery is consumed by this app. These % was during night - WiFi and Data was off. My GPS is always on. Settings is default - 60min. Android 9. Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Thank you for your replay. I don't want to turn off GPS. I turned manual location instead of GPS in app settings. And in Android App permitions furned off GPS permission. Let's see what will happen.

Good app but shame it doesn't show strikes and line to sensors in same way blitz website does. That would look very cool. Some of the controls keep locking, like the rewind and forward controls, but am sure it'll improve. Great start.

Best app ever until the recent map update. What have you done. The satellite map was clear and excellent. This new map is absolutely awful low resolution and places written in local dialect? It looks like a child drew it. Why ? Please bring back the old map Google satellite may be outdated but its clear and precise. At least give us the choice. Trust me you've shot yourself in the foot with this one

Doesn't work any more. Used to be really impressive, but doesn't show up any thunder strikes. I compared it to the one on line and confirmed my theory.
