## What is Lightning Tracker?

Weather 24 is a lightning tracker and storm radar in one app: watch strikes land in real time and get a heads-up before the thunderstorm reaches you.
Hurricane tracking, flood and heat warnings and a 14-day forecast sit side by side, so one look tells you whether to head out, wait it out or move the car under cover.

LIGHTNING TRACKER AND THUNDERSTORM ALERTS
• Live strikes on the map, each marked with how many seconds or minutes ago it hit
• "Lightning nearby" push notification when a strike lands inside the radius you set
• Choose your distance: close for fewer pings, far for earlier warnings
• Thunderstorm and hail warnings in the day's outlook, so a ballgame or hike never catches you off guard

RAIN RADAR AND LIVE MAP
• Animated precipitation radar that shows where showers and snow are moving next
• Layers for wind, temperature, thermal comfort, cloud cover and barometric pressure
• Timeline playback to follow a storm system as it crosses your area
• A push about an hour before it starts pouring at your location

HURRICANE TRACKER
• Every active tropical system worldwide, from Tropical Depression and Tropical Storm up to Category 5
• Past and forecast track drawn on the map, colored by category
• Sustained wind, gusts and alert level for each one
• Push alerts through the season, from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic seaboard, plus typhoons and cyclones overseas

SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS
• 12+ warning types: flash flood risk, downpours, strong wind, extreme heat, heat waves
• Winter hazards: freezing rain, icy roads, heavy snowfall, first frost, dense fog
• Rapid pressure drop and geomagnetic activity warnings for people who feel every change
• Pushed to your lock screen the moment conditions turn

BAROMETER, UV AND AIR QUALITY
• Pressure in inHg, hPa or mmHg with a daily fluctuation index
• A sensitivity index built from Kp geomagnetic activity and sharp changes, handy if pressure swings bring on headaches
• UV index with clear sun protection advice
• Air quality index with levels from Good to Hazardous

FORECAST AND WIDGETS
• Hourly and 14-day outlook, updated every 15 minutes
• Feels-like temperature, humidity, visibility, dew point, snow depth, sunrise, sunset and moon
• Charts for temperature, precipitation and gusts
• Wave height and sea temperature for coastal spots
• Home screen and lock screen widgets

Made for anyone who plans around the sky across the US: campers, golfers, boaters, parents at practice, drivers on a long road trip.

### 1/5 — 气温很不准

*2026-08-18*

比雅虎天气差很多 广告非常非常多

### 1/5 — Такое себе

*2026-02-09*

Шляпа. Есть аналоги без членских взносов

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв. Прогноз на ближайшее время — бесплатный; полный период, радар, графики и оповещения входят в Premium. Понимаем, что хочется больше без подписки, — поэтому есть бесплатный 7-дневный триал, чтобы попробовать всё без обязательств. Если чего-то конкретно не хватает, напишите: weather24@alterius.org — будем улучшать. 🌦️

### 5/5 — Gina

*2025-10-13*

Love the app

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, Gina! We're thrilled you love Weather 24. Reach us anytime at weather24@alterius.org. ☀️

### 1/5 — kostet‼️

*2025-07-30*

bei jeder secunde kommt werbung, die lästig ist. alles was man einstellt muss man abo abschließen. das hier ist keine pro app‼️😪

**Developer response:** Danke für dein ehrliches Feedback. Die Vorhersage für die nächste Zeit ist kostenlos — der komplette Zeitraum, Radar-Ebenen, Diagramme und Wetterwarnungen gehören zu Premium, und das sollte man vorab klarer sehen, danke für den Hinweis. Mit der kostenlosen 7-Tage-Testphase kannst du alles unverbindlich ausprobieren, im Premium ist die App zudem werbefrei. Fragen? weather24@alterius.org 🌦️

### 1/5 — App läuft nicht flüssig

*2025-07-14*

Schade hatte mir mehr erhofft aber die App lässt sich gar nicht benutzen. Sie reagiert nicht wenn ich etwas schieben oder anwählen will. Manchmal dann erst nach 20 Sekunden wenn überhaupt. Hatte sie nochmal deinstalliert und neu runter geladen hat aber auch nichts gebracht. 1,99€ für einen Monat sinnlos bezahlt…Danke.

**Developer response:** Das tut uns sehr leid — eine so träge Reaktion ist nicht normal. Wir haben die Performance in den letzten Updates deutlich verbessert. Falls es weiterhin hakt, schreib uns bitte dein iPhone-Modell an weather24@alterius.org — wir helfen direkt und finden eine Lösung. Danke für deine Geduld.

### 3/5 — Fehlerhaft

*2024-11-28*

Ich bekomme jeden Morgen dieselbe falsche Vorhersage: „Es wird bald klarer Himmel erwartet, starker Wind.
Temperatur: 0 ... 0°C“ auch bei plus 10 °C. Die App hat auch gute Seiten, aber bitte testet sie gründlicher! Aktuellstes iOS 18.1.1 Probeabo wieder beendet.

**Developer response:** Danke für den Hinweis — eine feststehende Falschanzeige (0…0 °C) ist klar ein Fehler, den wir ernst nehmen. Bitte schick uns kurz deinen Ort an weather24@alterius.org, damit wir es gezielt prüfen und beheben. Danke, dass du uns hilfst, besser zu werden!

### 2/5 — Widget

*2024-10-03*

Bonjour, sur iPhone 8 le widget ne fonctionne pas . Après vérifications tout est activé et widget ne fonctionne toujours pas, je retire donc l’application car j’en veux une avec le widget qui fonctionne , après une autre tentative c’est l’application que je ne peux installer jusqu’au bout. De mieux en mieux !!!

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour et désolé pour le souci de widget. Nous avons corrigé plusieurs bugs de widget dans les dernières versions. Si le problème persiste, écrivez-nous à weather24@alterius.org avec votre modèle — nous vous aiderons. 🌦️

### 1/5 — Verspielt und mit Fehlern

*2024-06-26*

Leider konnte ich sie nicht komplett testen, denn sie reagiert nicht richtig auf Wischbewegungen oder Klicks. Die Darstellung ist auch nicht richtig. Obwohl ich ein großes Smartphone habe. Es ist mir ein Rätsel, wie sie zur App des Jahres werden konnte. Nach drei Tagen Test ist sie auch viel zu teuer

**Developer response:** Danke für dein ehrliches Feedback und entschuldige die Bedienungsprobleme. Solche Hänger haben wir mit den letzten Updates angegangen. Schreib uns gern an weather24@alterius.org, welches Gerät du nutzt — wir schauen es uns an und verbessern weiter.

### 4/5 — Read

*2024-05-09*

You have to have premium to do literally everything

**Developer response:** Thanks for the honest note — and for the 4 stars! The near-term forecast is free; the full forecast range, radar, charts and alerts are Premium. We hear you that the free tier feels tight, and we're weighing what to open up. Meanwhile the 7-day free trial lets you try everything with no commitment. Tell us what you'd most want free: weather24@alterius.org 🌦️

### 5/5 — Bonjour

*2024-03-04*

Quelles Intempéries Sont Signalées Sur La Commune De La Gaude Actuellement à 3 heures 38 minutes ? Bonne Journée ! Merci

**Developer response:** Bonjour et merci pour vos 5 étoiles ! Pour les alertes en temps réel sur votre commune, activez les notifications météo dans l'app. Une question ? Écrivez-nous à weather24@alterius.org. 🌦️
