This application allows to display in real time the lightning impact of the Europe area (only). The data are kindly provided by http://www.blitzortung.org.
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).
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Pros and cons of Live Lightning app for iPhone and iPad
Live Lightning app good for
I propose add feature that shows thunder front of current strikes. Something like at " lightningmaps.org" After stroke it shows as a growing circle.
Incredible app! Very useful for mountain hiking.
Safety first !
Finally updated.The only one good App to monitor lightning live. Continue to improve it !Thank you
Some bad moments
The flash signs are too large and block occasionally the view. The distance radius is difficult to adjust.
A free program now displaying lightning strikes not only in Europe but Oceania and the US.
It reported 2 strikes in the us when the other apps reported several thousand. Something is wrong. Dont depend on this data for anything
The data for europe is old and everyday the same, please fix.
Locks up upon zooming in or changing the phone orientation, then closes itself. The website is fantastic, but the app needs work.
As I type this, Im sitting in my office with lightning crashing around the building. Although the Internet connection is working fine, this App does not even indicate there is a storm in the area. No lightning strikes display. No alerts show. I do not recommend.
