My all time favorite app

I’ve been using this since version 1 back in the 2011, I LOVE THIS APP. Over those years I’ve captured thousands of amazing lightning pictures that I cherish and even got my parents and colleagues to download the app and get into lightning photography. Thank you so much Florian and team you guys are rockstars!

Toll aber alt.

Die APP hat tolle Features, wird nur leider nicht mehr weiterentwickelt. Die Bedienung könnte man sicher verbessern oder die App auf aktuelle Geräte anpassen.
Vor allem ein RAW Format wäre gut.

White streak on photos

Has been excellent but just had a storm and looked at images and they have a white bar across the top of the image, please can you fix this issue?

Versagen auf ganzer Linie

Die tollsten Blitze, riesengroß und superlang - und alles, was die App bewerkstelligt hat, waren Bilder von einem partiell helleren Wolkenhimmel. Hab die App geschlossen und ganz normal fotografiert, so habe ich doch noch einen guten Schnappschuss bekommen.

Although not updated since 2 years…

…still the benchmark lightning cam for iPhone (now running on 14 Pro with iOS 17.6). The UI comes a little bit clumsy and old-fashioned, but it does its job very well. I hope that it will still be working with upcoming iOS versions.

Good app, a must have

One of my best investment in an app ever, compatible with iPhone 15 Pro.

Works well, and takes beautiful shots of lightnings.

But… I really wish it was a bit improved.
The auto mode is pretty good, manual mode lacks a bit of controls, only ISO, but nothing about aperture and shutter speed.
Output is limited to 12MP saved as JPG, while I think it could take photos within my phone capabilities, i.e. 24MP and saved as HEIC or even RAW.
It takes 2 shots, and saves a composite as a third, but I would love to choose more.
A sort of Timelapse / Video / Live Photo mode could be appreciated.

The app lacks a way to review the shots and doing it in the iOS app is kind of a pain, since you may have to go through thousands of shots.

The user interface feels old, and hard to handle particularly when a storm is coming and it starts to rain, it’s easy to make mistakes with wet fingers (and end up with a bunch of blurry photos).

And finally, I think there is a bug with the focus function, I did not find a way to set the focus for the x0.5 lens, only x1 and x2 is set.

Anyway, update or not, I will continue to use it EVERYTIME a thunderstorm starts to flash.

Thank you for this !

Not user friendly

Could not get it focused and not very user friendly. Would not waste your money

This app works

I have been using ilightningcam 2 for four years now and it really does work it picks up lightning you won’t be disappointed

Полное гуано

Самая тупая трата денег за всю жизнь

Amazing!

I’ve had this app for a long time and it only gets better. Just the other night, i Lightning Cam 2 caught some amazing lightning pics from a storm. I set it up at the window and walk away. What I got was awesome. The improvements to this app make it easy when it’s on ‘auto’. If you can’t get good photos then it’s not the app.
I love this app!! I live in a state with frequent summer storms. A+ to the developer. Thanks!

Top App aber..

Aber seit zwei Jahren keine Updates mehr. Funktioniert zwar noch alles wie es sein soll und bekomme echt geile Bilder damit raus aber die Bedienoberfläche lässt zu Wünschen.

This is the best app EVER!

I love this app so much. I’m 12 now and had this app since 2022. I have got great photos and shots. I want more ILightningCam apps in the future. I use a tripod and it works so good.
I have the lite version on my iPad and it is not as good, but I like it.😁

5-fach Vergrößerung fehlt noch!

Darf man hoffen? Any chance?

Omg eat dicks

This was great. !!!!
A very good app but .!.!.!.!
My partner used it for a lot of lighting photos and has the evidence to support it, I just downloaded it and we saw the most amazing storm lighting up the night sky!! And thought oh wow we will be getting this awesome storm..:.
Fork lightning and all sorts of lightning
WE DIDNT GET ONE LIGHTNING BOLT OF 50 sprays of lightning… we thought oh wow amazing we just got a photo of that
Yet we got nothing very sad !!!
We are disappointed and disgusted in your APP !!!! 1200 photos on auto pilot and 1 photo of lightning… absolutely disgusting!!!!

Pictures are blurry on newer iphone models

While it is useful to hit the one or the other lightning, especially on the iphone pro max wide angle lens, the pictures are all really blurry rendering the app practically useless.

App No Longer Works Well

I used this app and the previous version for several years and captured stunning photos, but now the app either captures nothing or everything is overexposed.

Not catching it

I have had this app for years. It used to work good and I have some great older lightning pics that are in focus and really beautiful. I’m in the south so the lightning is usually awesome.
I don’t know what happened to this app but I used it this year and can no longer use the ‘manual’ setting. Auto setting is not getting lightning, only brightness and a bit out of focus. ‘Large’ lightning setting gets nothing.
I did update last year I believe and used it once. But this summer I started using it again a month ago and was surprised I got nothing. Used it tonight and got over 200 photos of no lightning, just bright sky shots. I don’t know what is wrong? Help me out here. I ‘lol check for an update or maybe there is a subscription? All I know is this is now a disappointment.

Verbesserrungswürdig

Ich habe das Gefühl auf meinem Iphone 6 habe ich damit mehr einfangen können wie auf meinem Iphone Xr. Manche Blitze bekommt die App Garnicht mit, andere Sind zu Hell das man nur einen weißen Fleck bekommt. Aber wen sie mal einen einfängt sind sie gut.

Horrible

New to iPhone and this app alone makes me regret making the switch. Not sure why this is the only option. Misses a lot of strikes. The ones it does catch are out of focus.
