If you like going out for a walk and need to know your chance of getting soaked, this will help. It could even save your life. If you spend all day indoors then don't bother!

It's a good app but it needs to have Melbourne as a location as only Geelong is listed.

Works great on my Droid2 Global, contacted author and had my detector added to the list. Would be even better if more StormVue/NexStorm users in the US would make their data available.

This would be a brilliant app I'm sure - if there was info for where to get other location data files from. I'm from the UK.

Nice work, saw it on the forum and decided to buy a new phone

M70%
by M####:

Good for a quick reference but only relying on one detector its never going to be as accurate as the ATD which the UK Met Office use.

M70%
by M####:

I live in FL. And it shows nothing and it is thundering now also there is no info on the lightning

UK Data

M70%
by M####:

Since update strike symbols are too big. And why does the app have an issue with updating some of the map tiles

U70%
by U####:

You could say its for new zealand only.

U70%
by U####:

Simple and does its job

K70%
by K####:

Nothing but error messages, Samsung Note. Can you give an app no stars?

U70%
by U####:

It only has locations in the central part in the US. I watched some scattered lightning strikes, none appeared on the map.

U70%
by U####:

UK detector seems misaligned to MetOffice RADAR and lightening map if not spatially then clock error (BSTvGMT?). Also there is no key - what do the colours mean? And strike symbol id a small dot almost impossible to see when zoomed in. And it seems to miss all the storms I've been near. Rubbish.

Fantastic app. Use it all the time

U70%
by U####:

Gives you the option to select specific Lightning Detector Stations from list or by clicking on map. Select UK Detectors and see the strikes on map with an activity Graph at bottom. Good Alternative to Blitzortung.

U70%
by U####:

Only works for preprogrammed areas, watched 7 lightning strikes in Central Texas, none appeared on app.

Loving this app. Not a great deal happens in the UK but nice to know when and where :) Use to have one in the isle of white, any chance of adding it as its closer to me.. Good job

Very interesting app.. If you had the option to overlay the rain radar, it would be Perfect for my viewing interests! But great work! *8vD
