Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Siri and Shortcuts: ask whether there is lightning near you without opening the app
- Strikes per minute is now an average instead of a count of the last minute
- The nearest place is spelled out, for example "26 km away from Tierp"
- The largest towns in Norway, Denmark and Finland are included, so strikes there are named after somewhere closer
- Better support for wider screens that better use the space that is available
- A selected strike no longer ends up behind the information card
