Worked until it didn’t

I liked this app but it stopped showing lightning. I deleted and reinstalled and still doesn’t show. I tried the “report a problem” link which was broken. Please fix the app!

There is ads at the bottom of the screen and you have to push a button to refresh so you could see lighting.
