The app is detecting no strikes. Another app did show strikes including the very loud one that hit a mile away. The lack of accurate reporting is why I rarely try to use this app any longer. ### 3/5 — Needs to zoom in more *2021-02-18* Not a good enough zoom. Need to go closer ### 4/5 — Does the job nicely *2020-08-13, version 1.9* Handy app for checking out where the storms are, easy to use ### 4/5 — Just loaded app *2020-08-13, version 1.9* So far good info ### 5/5 — Favourite app *2020-08-12, version 1.9* I love it!! ### 3/5 — Lightening tracker *2020-08-10, version 1.9* This is ok but could be better, would like to see an overview of the storms - direction and intensity plus rain/hail indicators too.
