No longer working :(

I used to love this app on my iPhone 3GS, now with my newer phone the iPhone 6 Plus I found that it no longer works :( I am on iOS 10.3.1

Exceptional

Live lightning for no charge. Enough said. Thanks!

Handy

It would be better if it saved my default location. Refreshing more often would be safer.
You can also find any good local webpage and save it to your home page

I use Lightning to check for storms before I get on the air.
