Приложение супер!

Но после обновления все на немецком, я теперь ничего не понимаю и где поставить русский не знаю...

Здравствуйте! Спасибо за ваш отзыв! На самом деле приложение поддерживает 8 языков. Пожалуйста, перейдите в настройки iOS, выберите «Программы» (или «Приложения»), найдите ILightningCam AI, затем перейдите в раздел «Язык» и выберите английский. Если английский язык там не отображается, его нужно добавить в настройках вашего iPhone. Впрочем, в недавнем обновлении эта проблема уже была устранена.

Detected few, like studio

Auto missed quite a few, is there an option to capture any?, lightning is very unpredictable though, so choosing what i want, its all types, would love to be able to change the FPS on capture rate,seems to be automatic? i got the studio in app purchase, would love to be able to access previous photos taken with the old app and edit in there, and also with some photos taken elsewhere, possibly even open a video and extract the lightning from a video i took in slow-mo

Dear user Thanks for the stars! Yes lighting strength is hard to predict! Therefore we have the auto mode , which gets more and more sensitive the longer there is no intense detection . The other modes are for experienced users , but at the end you can only guess , we agree . Detection sensitivity and exposure sensitivity are linked . If you got only a few of the observed strikes , it sounds like it was distant sheet lightning I would switch to sheet lightning or manual with iso > 800. for many functions studio uses a complete package of information of ILightningCam AI . Therefore we describe in the app description that the import of old images is not possible . We might offer a part of the functions in the future for imported images , but we cannot promise this yet . If you send us an image to the support mail, we can tell you , if postprocessing is reasonable for it , given that we do not have the full set of infos of the new app

Seit Jahren zufrieden

Ich besitze die App schon fast 10 Jahre. Mit dem neuen Update habt ihr dem Ganzen noch ne Krone verpasst.
Leider wohne ich jetzt in einer Gegend, in der Gewitter eher selten sind 😔

Herzlichen Dank, wir werden weiterentwickeln! ein paar Ideen haben wir noch

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.

Oktober 2026:
Es gibt endlich das erste Update. Bin gespannt wie die App beim nächsten Gewitter sein wird

Content de la voir revivre !

Merci l’IA qui permet de ramener à la vie des apps en dormance comme celle ci que j’adore et qui m’avait permis de prendre de très bons clichés pour un iPhone . Super refonte, j’ai hâte de la tester sur le terrain

Enfin une maj

Quatre ans qu’on attend une mise à jour de la meilleure application pour prendre en photo les éclairs je l’avais acheté à l’époque, je viens de renouveler merci, il n’y a aucune équivalence dans le store. Bravo👍👍👍

Un grand merci pour votre fidélité et vos encouragements ! L’attente a été longue, et nous sommes ravis que cette nouvelle version vous plaise. Nous y avons mis beaucoup de travail et de passion : votre message nous fait vraiment plaisir. Nous vous souhaitons de magnifiques photos d’éclairs !

Löst nicht aus

Die App löst einfach nicht aus. Da waren mehrere richtig fette Blitze auf dem Display zu sehen, aber sie hat kein Foto gemacht. Hab dann einfach die 120fps Funktion der normalen Kamera App benutzt und Videos gemacht, aus denen ich dann die Frames raus gespeichert habe.

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 !

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!

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.😁
