## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No longer working :(

*2017-05-14*

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

### 1/5 — Waste of time and space.

*2013-05-07*

Do not use.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work in Japan.

*2012-08-17*

Poor quality map. It doesn't show lightning strikes ever. Even after 24 hours of thunderstorms. The only way this app will see 5 stars is if it gets 5 reviews.

### 1/5 — Not enough detail

*2012-05-27*

Poor detail, both visually and specifics about storms.  Can't click on a specific storm.  Doesn't zoom in very well.  No town on the maps.  Does not show lightning that is currently right overhead.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work for USA

*2012-05-06*

Europe works though. Needs a fix.

### 3/5 — Good to have.

*2013-08-02*

I use Lightning to check for storms before I get on the air.
I am a Ham Radio Operator.

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2015-07-22*

Live lightning for no charge. Enough said. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Handy

*2013-08-15*

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
