### 4/5 — アラート範囲の調整

*2023-08-20*

範囲の調整に5きろを選択できるようになるとうれしいです。

1キロの次がいきなり200キロでは広すぎるとかんじます。

### 1/5 — Does not display any lightning data

*2021-12-17*

Official blitz lightning app shows lighting data active but this app doesn’t show a thing.  I zoomed out to an active area in Africa where lightning was striking fast a furious in the official blitz app, yet this one, crickets.

I am using iPad Pro 5th generation with latest 5.2 iOS system if this helps any.
