User reviews

Funktioniert nicht mehr

Es kommt immer Fehlermeldung Verbindungsverlust.
Offenbar funktioniert die app nicht mehr bzw. der dahinterliegende Server .

Widget IOS18 manquant

Bonne appli, pour le widget en temps réel montrant la distance de l’éclair le plus proche. Cependant, depuis la mise à jour iOS 18, il a disparu. Y aura-t-il une mise à jour de l’appli ? Alertes ne fonctionnent pas depuis des années aussi.

No good

Deleted app. Doesn’t detect lightning even when close by

Response from developer

Thanks for the feed back. Are you sure that you well selected your location areas ? The strikes were well detected from our servers…

Manque l’alerte

Je ne met que 3 étoiles sur les 5 car c’est vraiment vraiment dommage d’avoir une option d’alerte mais de ne pas en recevoir si l’application n’est pas active . Vivement une mise à jours pour recevoir de réel notification car l’application est bien , nous voyons bien les orages et impacts

Ne fonctionne pas

En plein orage à mon domicile absolument aucunes notifications ni aucuns impact de foudre à proximité .
Cette application ne fonctionne pas c’est du Pipo .
