The current thunderstorm situation at your fingertips.\n\n<b>Features:</b>\n\n* realtime display of lightning data\n* display of historical lightning data of the last 24 hours\n* for regions Europe, North & South America, Asia, Africa and Australia/New Zealand\n* lightning strike time color coded\n* reduced data volume and fast response\n* current lightning strike time and lightning count\n* optional user location marker\n* alert function shows distance/direction of storms\n* background service for alerts\n* support for notifications, sound and vibration alarm\n* single stroke display for blitzortung.org participants\n\nPlease visit <a href=\"https://www.blitzortung.org/\">https://www.blitzortung.org</a> for more information regarding the community based lightning location project.\n\nThe raster display ensures a fast performance of the application even if there is a very high thunderstorm activity. Blitzortung.org participants can visualize all stroke locations individually.\n\nIf you would like to contribute to a translation of the software in your language, please do not hesitate to contact the author of the software.\n\n<h2>User privacy</h2>\n\nThis app can use device location in order to show the users location on the map and for generating warning view and alerts for lightning activity nearby.\n\nThe lightning warning feature **can also be used without device location permissions** as the location can also be set manually (via preferences but also via long pressing the desired position on the map). You will still be able to use the warning feature without allowing location permissions.\n\nIn order to have a more efficient data transfer with high resolution lightning data the app only fetches the last 10 minutes of activity in an area of 5° x 5° rounded to five degrees.\n\nAlthough this data is derived from the devices location or the map area","categories":["Science & Education"]}
