Lightning Alarm

Display nearby lightning detections and configure storm-proximity notifications.

Our take

Use it as supplementary storm awareness.

A map and distance readout provide context for the nearest detection.

Keep in mind: Detection-rate and safety claims are unverified; alerts may be delayed and are not a substitute for official warnings.

What you can do

  • View lightning locations and distances
  • Inspect storm activity on a map
  • Set approaching-storm push notifications

Good for

  • People checking storm conditions before outdoor activities.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users seeking a guaranteed all-clear or emergency-alert system.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.4.
  • Detection-rate and safety claims are unverified; alerts may be delayed and are not a substitute for official warnings.

Privacy & permissions

Proximity depends on location access; saved locations and alerts can reveal places of interest.
