2010 PinPoint Lightning—the first and only app with live lightning strike data and APNS push notifications. Be alerted to the latest lightning strikes near your geo-located position with up-to-the-moment push notifications!

Personal safety is the number one priority when lightning strikes nearby. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, golfer, motorcyclist, pilot or soccer coach- stay alerted to the latest lightning strikes in your area with 2010 PinPoint Lightning.

2010 PinPoint Lightning uses patent-pending technology to show you the time and distance of the latest lightning strike from your current location. View the street-level location of the latest lightning strike- for example- “Lightning Strike, 1200 Main Street, 2 miles NW from Your Location at 3:03 PM.” Zoom to the national view to locate active radar in the USA. Rotate the phone horizontally to view FULL-SCREEN radar maps.


Additional App Information:

-Lightning strike data is available ONLY for USA and Canada. (No lightning data for Alaska or Hawaii.) Lightning data for Canada is provided by Environment Canada.

-Lightning strike alerts will notify the user based on a 30 mile alert radius from the user’s geo-located position. (US patent-pending)

-This app follows the user’s up-to-the-minute GPS position to ensure that lightning alerts are sent to the user’s location. (Note that , when the user turns off the application, it will record the last known GPS position of the and send APNS alerts for that location when the app is off. As soon as the user re-opens the application it will newly geo-locate the user and update the APNS server to send alerts to that GPS position.)

-Live lightning strikes are not guaranteed- The National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) provides the lightning strike data to the application provider for use in the app. Such NLDN data may at times not be available to provide you with notices from the application because of technical outages or unavailability of the service, communications or internet outages or delays, or other conditions beyond the control of NLDN and/or application provider. The timely availability of notices from the application is not guaranteed.

-Users receiving a lightning alert should immediately move to a safe location. Users of this app are responsible for their own personal safety.

-Add up to 10 cities to view lightning strike data; however, lightning alerts will only be sent to the user’s geo-located position.
