Nice and free
Helps me decided to golf or not when storms are rolling in fast off the mountains towards Denver

Didn’t do what I needed. Hard to see where the historic strikes were.
Really hard to see the lightning strikes. the icon doesn’t stand out. It’s shows you ‘2 in the last x hours’. Tapping that does nothing to focus the screen on where they were. I know there was one really close to my house at 11:30am today. No sign of it on the map.

Pay version may be ok
Just downloaded and the free version is clunky and useless. Deleting after posting this. Many other free lightning maps are available. The paid version could be better.

About Lightning Tracker & Radar Map
2,191 characters
Lightning Tracker & Radar Map helps you understand storm activity before it reaches you. See live lightning, radar, alerts, saved places and forecast context in one focused weather safety app.
Powered by NOAA GOES GLM and EUMETSAT MTG-I1 LI satellite data, Lightning Tracker shows recent lightning flashes on a fast map, clusters active strikes into storm zones, and helps you judge whether a storm is building, approaching or moving away. Coverage includes the Americas, Atlantic, Europe and Africa; features depend on supported coverage and data availability.
USE IT BEFORE YOU GO OUT Check storms before golf, boating, hiking, school sports, outdoor work, road trips, camping, events and family time outside. Open the map, check the nearest activity, review the storm zone and decide whether to wait, move or seek shelter.
LIVE LIGHTNING MAP Fresh strikes appear on the map with age and distance context. Zoom from a regional view down to the places that matter and keep watching as cells develop.
STORM ZONES AND TRACKS Lightning clusters are grouped into storm zones so the map is easier to read. Track movement, intensity and projected paths instead of trying to interpret scattered strikes one by one.
RADAR, HISTORY AND FORECAST Premium unlocks radar overlay, radar timeline playback, 24-hour lightning history and storm forecast context from NOAA SPC where available. See lightning and precipitation together for a clearer severe-weather picture.
ALERTS FOR SAVED PLACES Set an alert radius around the places you care about. Free users can monitor one saved place with basic storm data; Premium adds push alerts, wider radius, more saved places, advanced storm data and an ad-free experience.
30-30 SAFETY TIMER Use the built-in timer to follow the 30-minute lightning safety rule after nearby activity. It gives you a simple outdoor-safety checkpoint when the sky is changing fast.
Lightning Tracker is built for one practical question: how close is the storm, where is it moving and is it time to get inside?
