Not good
In the past I’ve had good results. I now have the iPhone 14Pro. We had a huge lightning storm last night and I got a thousand pictures of nothing. Very disappointing to say the least.
United StatesMeh, timing was a little late
I used this on “auto” mode where it triggers by itself. Problem was by the time the shutter opened, the big visible lightning bolt had dissipated so all I kept getting was a background glow in the sky. Also, kind of a funny side effect with this app on iPhone XS (without the home button) is when I’d swipe up to go to home screen, it kept thinking I was changing one of the menus. Was hard to quit out of! Haha. Anyway as for capturing lightning, I had better results with a long exposure app.
United StatesDidn’t work
Using iPhone 11 Pro. Phone was on tripod. Lightning triggered shutter but always seemed too late and never captured it. App needs an update.
United StatesAmazing!
I'm running this on a 4.5 year old iPhone 4s. The pictures I get are fantastic. Wow.
United StatesLove it
I use both versions of the app the original and the second Version They both work very well Have gotten some phenomenal lightning photos. Not disappointed that's for sure. If you don't have this app you need to try it for the new user will take a little getting used to but it's worth it
United StatesPuzzled
Tried the camera and ended up with 4 pictures that I don't know how they got there. There is no visible tap button on screen and it's impossible to get the pic you want when you don't know where the button is. Please add visible tap button on the screen.
United StatesLove love love this app
it is so cool to get good pic of lighting I want the full thing now too bad I don't got enough r money it would be perfect to get the full app definitely a keeper
