1. 5/5My Go To storm App

   When I first discovered Lightning Alarm I was pleased with being able to track electrical storms as they moved into my location. We are boaters on the Great Lakes and are always mindful of local weather conditions. The app allows users to estimate the movement and intensity of storms and determine how close lightning strikes to their location. A small reticle centered on the users location shows the proximity of strikes from 10-20 miles of that location. As you become more familiar with the app you realize you can monitor storms internationally! It’s fascinating to discover how many storms occur around the globe. With relatives and friends living or traveling around the world, you can narrow in on their geographic areas to track storms. You can even store those locations for easy access to electrical activity in their vicinity. Truly a must have app for Weather Enthusiasts (nerds). Weston Orloff 7/5/24

2. 5/5By far the best 🌩️ app out there

   I've tried multiple janky sites and apps with far too many ads before I found this app. We use it to determine lightning distance from our local outdoor pool. My only suggestion is to make the distance circles either moveable via dragging, or transparent so I can see the strikes behind the (5) and (20) mile markers.

3. 5/5Fantastic! Love it!

   Absolutely love this app, and won’t go fishing without it. One suggestion would be an option to add additional rings to increase the alarm radius from 20 miles to 40, 60, 80, 100 miles. There are many times on larger lakes in my small boat that I would much prefer to know much sooner that inbound lightning is coming. Please add this option to be alarmed sooner if so desired.

4. 3/5Alright

   So this app is nice, but I was trying to use it as a means to know when it is safe for things like sports and for physical education classes. The app would improve if there was a way to adjust the alert rings. Alerting with a 30 mile that lightning is in your area. At 20 miles you are under a lightning watch. Finally at 10 miles you are under a lightning warning would be helpful for this application. Not a bad app for casual usage but could be improved for a more broad application.
