Hopeful

Broken for years.
Hoping the dev will pick this app back up one day and fix it.

Can not get it to work properly

“After iOS update, app restores outdated lightning data even after full delete/reinstall. No way to reset.”

Great App

This used to be my favorite weather app, especially for tracking storms. Sadly, I opened the app today because we have some really good storms in the area, only to see that it’s completely silent. I can see some weather clouds, but no thunder. No lightning. No haptics. Nothing. I checked the App Store and realized it’s been 6 years since the last update from the dev. It made me incredibly sad. I only wish this app would magically spring back to life. Definitely worth considering a subscription or something to breathe some life back into this app!

Is it still working?

Been using this app for years. Tried it today but seems it’s not detecting anything. Wonder if it’s still being updated and working.

Takes over sound system

There is no need on Earth for this app to stop my podcast or music so it can make annoying noises at me.

No longer working.

Either update it or shutter it, please. Was a cool app when it worked. Now on iPhone 12 Pro Max it is mostly nonfunctional

Thundery

I love to track and I loved watching lightning storms happen. I knew I love lightning and it is fun to watch in the sky when it rains. I will track lightning because it is not to be in the water to swim or other water activities in the summer months. I will be safe to watch it at home.

Great app possibly needs new features

Thunderly is great for reporting thunder but honestly may need a “thunder in your area” feature since I found this when searching “thunder tracker”

It doesn’t work anymore

ImpoSsible. This was once one of my favorite apps. But I have not been able to get it to work for 2 years. It worked when I had an iPhone 8 but since I started using a newer iPhone I think I’ve tried everything I could to get it functioning again with no success. I don’t have an internet connection problem. I have deleted the app and started it over again at least 50 times. I spent too much time trying to check every possible setting on my phone to figure out how to get the app to function. I have reached out to the developer at least 5 times. He once replied and said he would help but nothing changed and he hasn’t responded for most of the 2 years. I open the app and nothing happens. I see only spots where there was activity but no lightening strikes have ever occurred. I’ve searched online many times to find a solution. I have tried everything I could find online to get this app to work. I have found that I am not the only person who has this problem. I believe I read one person said the app developer did something to help the issue for him but I can’t seem to get the app developer to do whatever it was in my case. I am sad because I really, really enjoyed this app when it worked. It’s too bad the app developer doesn’t care to help.

Pretty useless

This was on my phone. I never understood what it did until reading the reviews. It doesn’t do anything but look pretty so I deleted it.

App no longer supported

I don’t get why the app is still live in the App Store for download? It no longer is supported. No update in years. The lightning totals do not count strikes anymore. The dev website is no longer up. The aurora feature is no longer updated. I was trying to check the aurora data due to the recent solar activity dropping it further south then usual. It is unfortunate because this app had a cool look and simple layout along with cool features. Can’t keep anything cool in the App Store for long.

Out of date

No update since 3 years ago, no lightning counts. App support link gives a server not found. It does show where lightning is striking.

Used to love it… but it’s dead??!

Why is it still on the App Store? Also I’m positive I paid for some fancy version of it. And it doesn’t even have lightning at all. The whole thing is nom functional. 😭

I loved it, but it stopped working.

I downloaded this long ago , my grandkids and I loved it. I believe after the iOS 15.2 update it stopped working. It loads and shows earth, but won’t show lighting strikes any longer and any information on ho many strikes and so on. I hope they can fix the problem. It’s a five star when it worked. I also tried to notify the developer, but they don’t make it easy doing so, so I gave up trying.

No data coming in

App hasn’t been updated in 3 years. No data coming in so it’s a dead app.

App is now useless

I’ve loaded deleted and reloaded this app on 3 occasions. It just doesn't work on my iPhone anymore. I gave it 2 stars because it use to work.

Cant close it

Unless I have a notification, I cant close the app on a phone without a home button. That’s not good. I cant swipe up to see all my apps or from the left side to get to my previously used app, it just scrolls on the globe. I had to wait until I got a notif to click on to take me out. Aside from that, it was decent enough, but that is a fatal flaw

Won’t open

Downloaded, tried 6 times to open and never worked

NEEDS SERIOUS UPDATING

DO NOT DOWNLOAD, FROZE MY WHOLE PHONE. Unless the developer fixes the app, permanent 1 star.

Es muy bueno
