Booming sounds of thunder accompany bright flashes of light. • Normal Thunderstorm — Steady rain with a full range of lightning and thunder Lights pulse to the sound of rain.

I installed it a couple weeks ago and it worked just fine. Now it just crashes and won't work at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It did not help. What a POS app. I want my money back!

This app does what it says, perfectly. I've tried paying for a few apps and wasted my money and time on them all. If you want lightning that can be AMAZING if you have many lights, just get this app. 😎⚡🌩️⛈️

Since the update yesterday the app crashed every time I try to open it and it won't work now. I've been using it everyday for a few years and loved it but it's broken currently and needs a new update to fix it ASAP.

App was brilliant for Halloween, reinstalled today and app keeps crashing 😞 Takes two taps to open, then closes when activating a storm.

We've used this app the last few years for things like Halloween and it's great! People love coming up to the house with the lightning and thunder cracking. Haven't had any issues with it either!
