My Lightning Tracker & Alerts

Lightning activity at a glance

My Lightning Tracker & Alerts is a weather app for people who want to follow thunderstorms and lightning strikes as they happen. It displays detected strikes on a world map, making it useful for checking nearby storm activity or watching conditions in another location. The app is developed by JRustonApps B.V. and has reached 1,000,000+ installs.

Maps, alerts and storm context

The main map shows where lightning has been detected, while additional information helps put an active storm in context. You can look back at areas with frequent lightning activity, inspect storm locations in more detail, and use the weather radar to follow weather that may be moving toward you.

Notifications are the practical feature for local monitoring. The app can send a lightning alarm when a storm is nearby, so you do not have to keep the map open continuously. You can also share a detected strike with other people, which may be useful when coordinating around an approaching thunderstorm.

Who it suits

This is aimed at anyone who wants more specific storm information than a general daily forecast provides. It may appeal to outdoor users, families, event organisers, or weather watchers who need a quick view of lightning activity and nearby alerts. Its worldwide coverage also makes it suitable for checking storms while travelling or monitoring a location from a distance.

Our grade

A+ — a rating of 4.65981 from 46,675 reviews puts the app clearly in the top grade band. That strong response matches a focused feature set: live lightning mapping, storm history, radar and proximity alerts, without trying to become a full general-purpose weather suite.
