Description

Features:

* Lightning station locations and detections
* Mark favorite stations to show all their detected strikes
* Weather Radar tracks for the US, Europe, and Oceania
* Range circles to show how close strikes are

Options:
* Animate lightning strikes

Lines will be drawn from stations detecting a strike to the strike location
* Display location
Your location will be displayed on the map
* Max strikes displayed

Permissions:
* Location permission only used locally on the device to enable you to zoom to your current location
* No personal information is ever sent from the device to any servers

FAQ:
* What information is this app collecting on me?
No personal information is collected from the device at all.
* Why can't I see my station?
To reduce the load on the device, stations are clustered when the map zoom is very small. By zooming the map in, more stations may be visible. To always show a certain station, hold down on the station's icon until the device vibrates. That will set it to always be visible.
* Ports
The following ports are used; Radar: 4550, Lightning: 8050-8090

Latest updates

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★nice radar not usable to me. can't read how far away lightning was. not showing my location on the map. too manh other good maps.
3 ★i loved this. But the weather radar has stopped working.
1 ★Mid storm. Watching the lightening strikes all around us hearing the thunder and nothing showing on the app at all. Used to be my go to app but not if it doesn't work
1 ★since the update its relatively useless. no distance available nor sound and no rainbow colour strikes. Is there a reason for taking its main features away?
2 ★Biggest electrical storm my country has had in a very long time (over 11,000 strikes apparently) and this app only records 3!
2 ★App worked several months ago but now there are no strikes displayed whatsoever.
1 ★worked fine before the update. now it doesn't open up
1 ★Sat in the middle of a thunderstorm, open up the app and it shows... Nothing. Nada. Useless basically.
5 ★I love you a billion times over. Thank you so much guys for supporting landscape mode orientation on your amazing and beautiful app
5 ★Best app for live lightning strikes. most other apps dont work on my tablet....try it you wont be disappointed.
