It also permits to save the current lightning history and reload a particular lightning maps. 

It can be useful to follow the lightning evolution in near real time (around 5 minutes of time shift).

## Review summary

User reviews highlight two recurring issues with Live Lightning: app instability and inconsistent regional data reliability. The app reportedly won’t launch, freezes during use (especially when zooming or rotating), and crashes. Additionally, multiple reviews point to regional data problems, with Europe data described as outdated and US data undercounted compared with other sources. A few mentions of spam emails after install exist, but the dominant themes are instability and uneven data coverage across regions.

### Cons

- App instability: won’t launch, freezes when zooming or changing orientation, and crashes.
- Regional data reliability issues: Europe data outdated; US data undercounts; some regional data not accurate.
