Ratings and Reviews
Live lighting location, brilliant
Very usable app too. On my wish list: historical data in the app. Nothing beats watching a recent thunderstorm beating it’s way across a continent or ocean. But you can do that on a computer in a Web browser, so no great loss.
The Blitzortung community is a classic amateur tech network. I wish them well and hope they can soon expand into central Africa, home of the planet’s most intense electrical storms.
Needs attention
I’ve had this app for some time and it’s a fantastic way of seeing where the storms are. However, I’ve recently had thunderstorms nearby with notifications coming through but the live strikes do not show up on the map? I’m not sure if this is due to the volume of traffic on the app but it used to work correctly in the past. Hopefully the developers can have a look.
Additionally, it would be useful to hide the push notification geo-fence to make the map clearer, potentially have it just in the settings?
Great app - though has it become less accurate?
I have used BlitzortungLive and Blitzortung-based services for many years now. It’s great to watch storms coming and going. It seemed to be much more accurate in the past, but more recently some lightning strikes don’t seem to be detected and show on the map, and there are also issues where the rendering of the strikes on the app is hit and miss depending on how zoomed in or out the map is. I really hope these issues are resolved as it is one of my favourites.
