Description

Still only $5.99 annually!

Lightning Finder displays current lightning strikes in near real time for the contiguous 48 States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, portions of Central America and the Caribbean Islands for one year from your purchase date, renewable annually.

Unlike other lightning applications, we offer a complete national lightning strike map designed for full resolution on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Use standard gestures to move around the national map, pinch to zoom in and out. Investigate storm cells and lightning strikes nationwide with radar and cloud cover overlays as well as radar looping. The map can be viewed in Standard, Satellite or Hybrid mode. All strikes are colored coded so you can visually determine its age. Red is 0-5 minutes, orange 5-15 minutes and yellow is older than 15 minutes.

Use your current location or enter a zip code of interest to display detailed lightning information with a displayable safety perimeter showing the 3, 6 and 10 mile safety boundaries. All strikes within a 25 mile radius of your current location or configured zip code are displayed with full accuracy. Outside of your area, regional strikes are displayed with 10 mile resolution. You may change your zip code as often as you like to view areas of interest.

Use the included alarm service to configure Text Messaging alerts based on your location or configured zip code. This service will send an SMS message to your phone when lightning is detected within your safety perimeter. All major carriers are supported for Text Messaging.

Also included is a current weather display and 7 day forecast for your area.

Lightning data is provided in 'near real time' by the North American Precision Lightning Network. Lightning data is not guaranteed nor is the timeliness of delivery. Do not use this application for personal safety. This application only maps lightning strikes that have already occurred and does not predict future strikes or locations.

Customer Reviews

Life saver (5 stars)
I use this app to help determine whether my athletic teams should play or not. The colored lightning strikes help to determine the intensity of the storm, and how long until it gets here.

Lightning finder (1 star)
Really cool app. My job depends on weather and the standard weather sites dont give you the big picture. This app lets you see if there are in fact lighting strikes in an area.

No map anymore (1 star)
No map display anymore not sure what happened.
