New: Camera aim in Find helps you photograph red sprites above distant storms. It shows which way to face, how high to tilt and whether the sprites fit in your frame. Inspired by SpriteScope by Sylvain Reybaut. Also: tapping an alert draws a line from you or your saved place to its closest strike, and radar playback dims live strikes while it shows a past frame.

New: Strike history in Find. See the last 7 days around your location or saved place: strikes per hour, where they struck, and each storm. Tap an hour or slide along a day to see its strikes on the map, then replay that hour. One free storm replay every 30 days. Pro replays every storm, and new subscribers can try Pro free for 7 days. The app also has a new icon.

Filter positive or negative lightning across all strike types, with clearer strength controls. In Strength mode, map clusters show their strongest strike. UK distances now match your alert-radius units. Direction arrows are more accurate.

The lightning map and alerts now cover Australia, all of Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Atlantic Canada, plus Malta, Crete and Cyprus. When the map centers on your location or saved place, it now zooms to fit the alert area.

When you tap a strike, the map now more reliably moves it into view above the strike info.

Select a strike and a big arrow now points to it. With your location and compass, it also tells you which way to turn. Strikes are now named by town and region, and help and privacy pages open in the app's language.

New in Filter: show only positive or only negative ground strikes. Positive strikes are less common and often stronger, and the strongest can trigger sprites: red flashes high above the storm. Settings now has quick ways to send feedback, rate the app, share it and learn how it works.

New app icon: a white lightning bolt on indigo, easy to spot on light and dark screens, with dark and tinted Home Screen versions.

When you tap a strike, it now stays visible above the strike info, even when the info panel grows.

Explore the map with redesigned Find, Filter and Live updates controls. Map text is easier to read, and upgrading to Pro now shows clearer progress and error messages.

Settings are easier to explore, with a subtle cue when more options are below. Map updates now feel smoother.

Storm alerts work better near the edge of saved areas. Nearby storm notifications are less repetitive. Alert subscription updates are more reliable, and grouped lightning markers zoom in more clearly.

Improves reliability during large storms, keeps the map responsive while live lightning updates, and adds clearer update feedback on the map.

Improves stability during very dense lightning storms. The app now limits oversized strike responses and dense map rendering so the live map, filters, and closest-strike flow stay responsive.
