Description

This app turns your smartphone or tablet intoa real-time lightning detector. By mapping your smartphone ortablets GPS to our ZEUS lightning network across Europe we can tellyou exactly where the closest lightning strike has been detectedfrom you.

The settings allow you to decide how far you wish to detectstrikes from your location, whether you want a vibration alert andalso what distance you want a vibration alert. The app also allowsyou to decide on a range of "quiet times" when the app will notalert you to close strikes.

The default frequency to check the nearby strikes is every 2minutes but this can also be changed.

The app will then scan around your location and "listen out" fornearby strikes. If any are detected it will display the distancefrom the strike (and colour code this depending on how close it is)as well as telling you the direction it was detected from yourlocation.

This app is a must have not just for storm chasers but anyonewho loves thunderstorms or takes part in sports or recreation wherebeing outside near a thunderstorm is not a great idea (golfers?;-))
