User reviews

Doesn’t have automated map

This developer could radically add integration with web services to automatically map and display lightning. Instead the app expects you to click a lightning button then listen for the lightning to factor the direction of the lightning it’s not accurate nor is it very helpful to just manually calculate the distance of the lightning from clicking buttons — not when there are web services out there that they could load in the actual location of the lighting from NOAA.
