Do not like this app

They do not tell you that the purchase Id for 3-months! It must be renewed if wanted every 3-months. No radar view!

No. Just. Dont.

DO NOT PAY. Cant recommend anymore. Like other recent reviewers, Im not getting alerts even when in severe lightning storms. Hope they get it back up to snuff soon.

Abandonware

Worked ok for a few years, I resubscribed to the lightning alerts and nothing in 2.5 months. I contacted the developer and no reply. I contacted Apple for a refund, got it and now Im in search of a replacement app.

Dont bother

This app worked great the first year and a half that I had it. But for the past month or so, Ive gotten zero notifications, and my lightning list is very buggy. Therell be lightning striking near me, and yet it doesnt show up in the lightning strike list.

App doesn’t work properly!!!

I am getting alerts but when I look to see how far away lightning is it tells me it is hundreds of miles away when I know it is very close to being overhead. I have sent a couple of messages but have not received a reply. I WILL NOT RENEW!!!

AVOIID this Piece of crap; Alerts havent worked for months

Despite having a full year subscription, Lightning Cast hasnt provided alerts in months. Its completely unreliable. Dont be scammed and AVOID this useless app. Grade: F The company has not responded to multiple email complaints. I feel cheated. Judging from so many similar reviews, Im not alone in my thinking.

Changing my original rating of 5 stars to 1....

Used to work great...now, its unreliable, crashes and all support is asleep at the wheel... Avoid and save the hassle...
