What can I use for free?
The free app includes the live map, available strike details, radar and nearby alerts for your current area or one saved place. No account is required. Free use is supported by ads; after the included refreshes, continuing live updates may ask you to watch a short ad.
What does Pro change?
Pro is an optional monthly subscription that removes ads. Keep using the same live map, strike details, radar and nearby alerts, with live updates that continue without watching an ad.
Why choose a focused lightning tracker?
Ground mode filters cloud flashes so ground-reaching strikes are easier to inspect. Open a marker for available age, distance, direction, type, strength, polarity and street context. Save one place to follow lightning near home or a destination.
Does Lightning Alerts work as a lightning detector app?
Yes, with no extra device. A professional lightning sensor network detects the strikes, and the app shows them on the live map. Tap a strike to see how old it is and how far away it is. Turn on Lightning alerts to get a notification when lightning is detected near your current area or one saved place.
