Ads

Works as intended but plays an add every lightning strike. Wasting time

Horrible app with intrusive ads

Just use a web app for this, honestly.

Response from developer

The app is free. Thats why there is ad. You receive data after ad. You can remove all advertisements with in-app purchase.

Shame on Apple for allowing this app

The app is just an ad generator. When you click on the thunder button it pops up an ad that canโ€™t be closed and you donโ€™t even get the data. Total scam app.
