User Reviews

Overall, iLightningCam 2 has a devoted user base due to its ability to capture dramatic lightning shots and its ease of use, especially in auto mode. When it works, the results can be stunning and worth the price. However, repeated issues across devices—focus failures, glitches, and occasional image artifacts like white or gray bands—undercut reliability. Auto mode can misfire toward streetlights. Users also cite a dated UI and a lack of updates or RAW support for newer iPhones. It's a solid tool with notable instability and device-specific quirks.

Pros

Easy to use, especially in auto mode, with tripod support for quick lightning shots.
Produces stunning, high-quality lightning photos when settings are correct.
Long-running, loyal user base with years of proven results.
Excellent value for dedicated lightning photographers and enthusiasts.

Cons

Focus issues/out-of-focus across devices, even after recalibration.
Glitches and instability; frequent need to reinstall or restart the app.
White or gray bands appearing across images, ruining shots.
Auto mode can misfire and capture streetlights instead of lightning.
Dated UI and lack of updates/RAW support for newer iPhones.

I’ve been using this since version 1 back in the 2011, I LOVE THIS APP. Over those years I’ve captured thousands of amazing lightning pictures that I cherish and even got my parents and colleagues to download the app and get into lightning photography. Thank you so much Florian and team you guys are rockstars!
