    I'm a trained spotter and this is was favorite app for lightning because it was the ONLY app that delineated lightning strike type between cg+ and cg- and cc until April 2020 update that took that away with a very disappointing and surprising update. UPDATE: AUG 1 2020. They attempted a fix for the lightning issue. It shows all strikes as cg+ which is totally inaccurate. So this app is still useless for Samsung Galaxy s10 5g. Such a shame. I'll be advising my students to delete.

    In order for the app to tell you if there is lightning nearby, you have to go into the app and select "Activate Lightning." This is not very useful.

    Used to work great on my old phone, it stopped distinguishing cloud to ground from cloud to cloud strikes when I got a new phone. It updated and now tells me cloud to ground strikes are just cloud lightning and cloud lightning is showing as cloud to ground. I know this because I compared it to my old phone that's running on wifi. Please update this app! When it was working it's the best one out there!
