About My Lightning Tracker

Track lightning strikes with our thunderstorms map, radar and lightning alarm.

What My Lightning Tracker Is Used For

My Lightning Tracker appears to be a weather app focused on monitoring lightning activity and thunderstorms on a phone. Based on the metadata, it is commonly used to check storm-related conditions, view a lightning or thunderstorm map, and follow weather activity in areas where lightning alerts may be useful. It may be especially relevant for people who want a quick view of nearby storm movement before going outdoors or planning travel.

The listed location permissions suggest the app may use your device’s position to show nearby lightning events or provide alerts based on where you are. Background location, notifications, vibration, and boot-related permissions also point to recurring alerts and wake-up style warnings rather than only manual checking. As a phone app in the Weather category, it seems designed for everyday weather awareness and short, practical checks rather than detailed forecasting tools.

Common uses

  • Check for nearby lightning strikes and storm activity
  • View a thunderstorm or lightning map for current conditions
  • Receive weather alerts that may notify you about storms
  • Use location-based features to focus on your area
  • Get background updates when storm monitoring is enabled
  • Listen for vibration or notification-based warnings
  • Review storm information on a phone during daily travel or outdoor planning
