My Lightning Tracker Pro
How does the live lightning map and strike tap feature work in My Lightning Tracker Pro?
The live lightning map shows strike icons in real time on a zoomable interface. You can tap on any strike to see its exact time and distance from your location, which is useful for understanding how close lightning actually got to you.
Can I customize the alert radius for lightning strikes in My Lightning Tracker Pro?
Yes, you can set the alert distance radius from 5 to 50 miles, so you only get notified when lightning is within your chosen range. For example, setting it to 10 miles helps you balance between getting timely warnings and avoiding constant alerts for distant strikes.
Why does My Lightning Tracker Pro drain my battery so quickly, and how can I reduce it?
The app uses GPS and real-time map data, which can drain your battery by up to 30% in an hour of use. To reduce drain, close the map when you don't need it and rely on background alerts instead of keeping the app open continuously.
Why am I seeing ads in My Lightning Tracker Pro even though I paid for the app?
The upfront purchase covers the base app, but banner ads still appear at the bottom of the screen unless you buy the separate 'Ad-Free Experience' in-app purchase. This can slow down performance, so consider the ad-free upgrade if the ads bother you.
How does My Lightning Tracker Pro compare to the free weather channel app for lightning alerts?
My Lightning Tracker Pro offers a dedicated live lightning map with strike details and customizable radius alerts, which the free weather channel app lacks. However, its 'severe weather alerts' are the same as those from free apps, so the main advantage is the real-time strike tracking and historical data.
