I really wish this told me how far away the strikes were in the notification. As it is, I have to open the app to find out. My other weather app does better even though it's not designed specifically for lightning. I know that I can set the mileage parameters for alerts, but I'd like the alert to contain that information - 10, 20 and 30 mile radius strikes are all important but I will act differently based on them. I will probably be deleting this app.

If you're interested, the pro version of the app does show how far away the strike is in the notification itself.

This app is absolutely phenomenal, likely the best free lightning app on the market, this app is also very accurate, had a lightning strike so close to my house, we had a power surge. I then looked on the app and it showed the strike was less then a 1/4 mile away. I also like the fact that you can set an alert radius so I can always know when to go inside and stay safe!

I really like this app. I had previously installed a weather app just for the lightning alerts. It had so many ads it was hard to see the info & it used so much data in just a short time, so I uninstalled it & found this one & it is great. The lightning alerts are fast & has a lot of settings to customize. I just wish it at least would specify(N,S,E,W & in between) or show the direction the storms are going-with arrows or something. A thunder/lightning sound for an alert sound would be nice too!
