Il serait aussi sympa de pouvoir choisir la distance de détection par rapport à notre position qui par défaut est visiblement sur 100 km ce qui est beaucoup trop important à mon sens . ### 4/5 — Plusieurs lieux *2025-08-21, version 2.0.6* Bonjour, L’application me semble correctes. C'est juste dommage que nous ne pouvons pas avoir la possibilité de mettre plusieurs lieux à la fois. ### 4/5 — Works Great…But! *2025-07-11, version 2.0.5* I ve had this app for a long time and it works great. I use it during work hours in case I need to call a 30/30 shut down. Being in the US, I use the imperial system. When I’m in the app, everything shows up as miles. But as of a number of months back, my alerts have switched to metric and I have no idea how to get it back to miles. I’ve deleted the app several times and reinstalled it and that doesn’t seem to work. I’d give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for that. ### 3/5 — Nicht mehr so gut *2025-06-08, version 2.0.5* Leider funktioniert die App seitdem sie das neue auszusehen hat, nicht mehr genau. Beispiel Gewitter ist unmittelbarer Nähe, aber es werden 100 km angezeigt. ### 5/5 — Kids swimming *2025-03-06, version 1.5.2* With my kid always wanting to swim, I use this app everyday when he’s in the pool to ensure there’s no lightning close by. It brilliant & I find it so user friendly & convenient to use. ### 4/5 — App *2025-03-06, version 1.5.2* Funciona Muy bien, estaría bueno agregarle un pronóstico. ### 5/5 — La más precisa *2025-02-15, version 1.5.2* Dentro de la meteorología se dice que es impredecible y alarma rayos es la más acertada de las aplicaciones ### 5/5 — Rayos *2025-02-13, version 1.5.2* Muy útil y necesario ### 5/5 — Rayos *2025-02-11, version 1.5.2* Espectacular la aplicación yo soy profesor de golf y me re ayuda para mi trabajo ### 5/5 — App *2025-02-11, version 1.5.2* Excelente ### 5/5 — Well good *2025-02-06, version 1.5.2* My weather chart is not like the one on the relklam page i dont see the pink clouds can you make a change ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-01-24, version 1.5.2* Es excelente ### 4/5 — Reseñar *2025-01-19, version 1.5.2* Hola, sería bueno reseñar en el mapa el nombre de algunas ciudades importantes para situar mejor las borrascas, gracias ### 5/5 — Melhor App para Raios *2025-01-18* Se o seu interesse é somente saber da queda de raios na região, esse app é perfeito! Claro que, dada a baixa qualidade da informação metereológica no Brasil, existe um delay e uma imprecisão na informação dos raios. Mas para quem precisa saber se está chegando uma tempestade com carga elétrica, ele resolve muito bem. ### 4/5 — Está bien *2025-01-08, version 1.5.2* Seria interesante poder delimitar la distancia de enfoque en forma personalizada ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-04-07, version 2.0.6* I couldn’t even get past the first screen. The app completely froze and became unresponsive right away. I tried refreshing, restarting, and even uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing worked. Extremely frustrating experience right from the start. ### 1/5 — لازم تحللين المشكلة *2025-12-08, version 2.0.6* ‏أنا كل ما أسوي زوم على الخريطة أو أحرك الخريطة أو أسوي أي شيء التطبيق يطردني برا يرجو حل ذلك وأيضا ما توصلني أي إشعارات من التطبيق مع إني مفعل جميع الإشعارات ### 1/5 — Pas de notification *2025-04-29, version 2.0.4* Cette application était parfait avant la mise à jour et le nouveau logo. Je ne reçois plus de notifications et on ne voit plus les éclairs dans l’application. J’en utilise d’autres et on voit les orages et les éclairs. ### 1/5 — Desmejora *2025-04-19, version 2.0.4* Las anteriores versiones eran mucho mejor ahora no muestra los nombres de pueblos y veredas no aparece la ubicación y el gps es poco preciso de donde estoy ubicado aparece en otro lugar bastante distante ### 1/5 — Doesn’t woy *2025-04-01, version 2.0.3* I have had the app (with paid subscription) for some time. It worked well until the last update when it froze & stoped working. My subscription is still valid. I deleted the app reset my phone & downloaded it again & it’s still froze with the “next button” I tried contacting service with no response so I am now stuck with a paid app that doesn’t work & no service at all. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Werkt niet - niet betrouwbaar. *2024-11-22, version 1.5.2* Het is hier al een half uur stevig aan het onweren en nog steeds geeft de app niks aan, terwijl een Duitse app dit wel vanaf de eerste ontlading een melding gaf. Dit is niet de eerste keer dat deze app niets aangeeft. Ik heb daarom het abonnement opgezegd. Niet betrouwbaar. ### 1/5 — Dolomite Area Vital to receive accurate Alarms *2024-10-13, version 1.5.2* This app use to be fantastic 100% accurate but now keeps closing and No alarm. We live in a dolomite area in a small rural village and the alarms were life saving . I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but still intermittent. As we approach lightening season I’m becoming more and more concerned ### 1/5 — Problema *2024-09-30, version 1.5.1* Tiende mucho a apagarse y sacarte de la app cuando la abres, y ya no funciona… ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2024-09-28, version 1.5.1* I have the paid version of the app, and I find it’s very useful and accurate however it now just keeps crashing. It sends through notifications of impending lightning but when I open the app to view it crashes immediately. A bit disappointing. iPhone 15, all software updated. ### 1/5 — Apps doesn’t open *2024-09-28, version 1.5.1* Does not work apps opens and closes straight away ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-06-28, version 1.5.2* This is so useful for our family and also for our dog who is VERY unhappy when lightning approaches. He FEELS it well before we do. Thank you ### 5/5 — Super *2026-06-20, version 2.0.6* Très content de cette application, elle est incroyable ### 5/5 — Rayos en vivo *2026-01-30, version 2.0.6* Puedes ver a tiempo real las descargas eléctricas de los rayos en un mapa, y colocar manual tu ubicación o dar permiso a la app a acceder a ella en vivo. Envía notificaciones si hay rayos cerca y a cuantos km. Además muestra el clima en una pagina secundaria. Muy buena app. ### 5/5 — Alarm *2025-11-05, version 2.0.6* I love rain radar and lightning alarm. Bailey C ### 5/5 — Alarm *2025-11-02, version 2.0.6* I love rain radar and lightning alarm. Bailey C ### 5/5 — Some suggestions for lightning information *2025-04-11, version 2.0.4* This is a great app, even down to showing the intensity of strikes (strong discharge, heavy discharge etc). My suggestions would be to be able to have the option to display peak amplitude (like -30kA), and potentially the type of discharge as well (cloud to ground, cloud to cloud etc). Potentially a history of strikes from the previous 30mins - 1 hour as well! Thank you ### 5/5 — So helpful *2025-03-23, version 2.0.1* I have tried so many storm apps to help with my storm anxiety and this one seems to be the only accurate one I can rely on . Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Love the update! *2025-03-19, version 2.0.1* Love the new update, this app is very reliable and easy to use. The nee features make the app 5 stars ### 5/5 — necesita progresar *2025-03-13, version 1.5.2* sugiero que programéis para la próxima axtualizacion modifiques el icono en el napa de anertaDe rayos .de coorxsbarillo en otro color y con un icono de mayo tamaño para hacerlo visible dentro del mapa que se muestra ta que por su knfimo tamaño y color no se percibe con notoriedad suficiente. gracias por vuestra aportación en la gratuidad de la vuestra app .- también , podríais habilitar un modo de hacer una aportación económica de forma esporádica para el sostenimiento de la app. gracias de nuevo !!! ### 5/5 — Funciona muy bien *2025-03-07, version 1.5.2* Una buena aplicación --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
