## What is Lightning Tracker‎?

Track and monitor lightning strikes in realtime nearby to your location, with Lightning Tracker Live.

Lightning strikes are presented on a map view, where you can tap on each marked lightning strike for more details, including:
• Time of strike
• Distance from your current location

Lightning strikes will appear on the map view in realtime & will expire after 15 minutes, keeping you up to date with only the latest lightning activity all the time.

The app will also work when in the background, periodically checking for any lightning strikes & notifying you if any do occur.

As a default setting, the app will check/monitor at a radius of 25 miles within your location for lightning activity. This can be customized in the app settings from anywhere between 1 & 50 miles. Your chosen radius value will be saved for future use.

Other features include an option to view your current weather conditions.

We hope that you find this app useful. Please reach out to us via email support if you have any feedback or questions.

### 1/5 — Scammed out of $10

*2026-07-20*

Lots of promise, but there we are In Florida needing a lightning tracker to see if we can take kids to the pool and it just pull up Apple Maps. No weather up with we in a live lightning storm, don’t buy!

### 1/5 — Relatively Useless

*2026-07-14*

App doesn’t allow you to view radar as depicted in the App Store. It is raining here with a storm front moving in and the app shows me nothing.

### 1/5 — Not working!!

*2026-06-26*

Installed last night (25/06/26) when the biggest lightning storm in the west of Scotland was happening and didn't show anything!
An easy scam stealing my £6.99, better off with the free version!!
I've uninstalled and installed and still the same, GET IT WORKING NOW!!!!!

### 1/5 — Sucks

### 2/5 — Promo apps
