Recent reviews

App shows all electrical activity, including cloud to cloud. Storm comes in and the app will show literally THOUSANDS of strikes, yet only a few actually hit the ground. So useless if you want to track actual ground strikes. Have found much better sites online that show only ground hits, plus the shockwave emanating from the hits.

I’ve tried a few of these type apps and this is the only one left on my phone. It just works, and without distractions. Probably deserves another star to be honest.
