1/5Pay version may be ok
Just downloaded and the free version is clunky and useless. Deleting after posting this. Many other free lightning maps are available. The paid version could be better.

5/5Nice and free
Helps me decided to golf or not when storms are rolling in fast off the mountains towards Denver

1.0.0
1.0.1
Push alerts are now enabled for iOS, with better handling when notification tokens refresh. Forecast now shows a clear location prompt when location data is missing instead of a generic empty state. This release also adds post-onboarding reliability fixes and small UI polish.
1.0.10
New: choose lightning sources on the map. NOAA GLM and Meteosat Lightning Imager are both enabled by default, with filters when you want one source only. Also improved viewport storm loading and made the offline map indicator dismissible.
1.0.11
Improved localized map tabs so French, Spanish, and Portuguese labels fit cleanly without clipping.
1.0.12
Improved localized map tabs so French, Spanish, and Portuguese labels fit cleanly without clipping.
1.0.13
Reliability update: the map now centers on your location right away (no more world view after a slow GPS fix), lightning alerts activate more dependably, the live feed reconnects instantly when your phone switches between Wi-Fi and cellular, and app startup is more resilient.
1.0.14
Reliability update: the map now centers on your location right away (no more world view after a slow GPS fix), lightning alerts activate more dependably, the live feed reconnects instantly when your phone switches between Wi-Fi and cellular, and app startup is more resilient.
1.0.15
Reliability update: the map now centers on your location right away (no more world view after a slow GPS fix), lightning alerts activate more dependably, the live feed reconnects instantly when your phone switches between Wi-Fi and cellular, and app startup is more resilient.
1.0.16
Lightning history now loads faster with more complete results. Regional coverage boundaries are more accurate, unavailable areas are handled more clearly, and live map reliability is improved.
1.0.17
See live feed connection status and clearer map guidance. The storm status panel can now be collapsed, and onboarding is smoother and more reliable.
1.0.18
See live feed connection status and clearer map guidance. The storm status panel can now be collapsed, and onboarding is smoother and more reliable.
1.0.19
New storm tracks now show estimated hail size, severe-hail probability, radar-top height, speed, direction, confidence, and forecast positions. Compact map panels and the Map Guide are now easier to read and close on smaller screens.
1.0.2
Improved iOS push alert reliability, better notification-token refresh handling, clearer missing-location forecast prompts, more stable post-onboarding flow, and small map/readability polish.
1.0.20
New storm tracks now show estimated hail size, severe-hail probability, radar-top height, speed, direction, confidence, and forecast positions. Compact map panels and the Map Guide are now easier to read and close on smaller screens.
1.0.21 · 28 Jul 2026
Improved stability and reliability for a smoother experience. Storm-approach notifications are now more dependable.
1.0.3
Improved iOS push alert reliability, better notification-token refresh handling, clearer missing-location forecast prompts, more stable post-onboarding flow, and small map/readability polish.
1.0.4
Improved iOS push alert reliability, better notification-token refresh handling, clearer missing-location forecast prompts, more stable post-onboarding flow, and small map/readability polish.
1.0.5
Expanded lightning coverage with EUMETSAT MTG-I1 LI data for Europe and Africa alongside NOAA GOES GLM. The map now keeps nearby strikes visible when global storm activity is busier elsewhere, with clearer source and coverage wording.
1.0.6
Expanded lightning coverage with EUMETSAT MTG-I1 LI data for Europe and Africa alongside NOAA GOES GLM. The map now keeps nearby strikes visible when global storm activity is busier elsewhere, with clearer source and coverage wording.
1.0.8
Expanded lightning coverage with EUMETSAT MTG-I1 LI data for Europe and Africa alongside NOAA GOES GLM. The map now keeps nearby strikes visible when global storm activity is busier elsewhere, with clearer source and coverage wording.
1.0.9
Bug fixes and reliability improvements for onboarding, radar, alerts, subscriptions, location permissions, and map interactions.
