What’s New Version 1.0.6
Adds text-only App Store listing localizations for English, German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Italian, and Polish.
Description
Lightning Alerts is a live lightning tracker and storm map for nearby strike awareness, powered by enterprise-grade lightning data.
Open the map without creating an app account. Check recent strike activity before travel, golf, hiking, boating, surfing, fishing, open-water activities, or everyday weather planning. The map can show both ground-reaching and intracloud strikes. Ground mode helps filter cloud flashes so busy storms are easier to read.
What you can see:
- Live map of recent strike activity
- Nearby alerts for your location or a saved place
- No app account required to open the map
- Ground-reaching and intracloud strike types
- Ground mode to reduce cloud-flash noise
- Closest-strike distance, age, direction, and street context
- Strike strength, polarity, and detailed strike type
- Weather radar with strikes on the same map
- Save one place you care about
- Clear controls for alerts, ads, privacy, and analytics
- Optional monthly Pro subscription that removes ads
Use Lightning Alerts before you head outside, while storms are nearby, or when you want a clearer view of activity around a place. Choose the strike filter, inspect the closest strike, and use notifications to return to the live map when activity changes.
Lightning Alerts is a weather awareness tool, not an emergency warning system. Always follow official weather alerts, local rules, and venue safety guidance.
