Thunder & Lightning has (barely) one practical purpose: to measure your distance to a sound source. It works for thunder and lightning, fireworks, rocket launches, or other loud events visible from a (hopefully safe) distance away. Just press the Lightning button when you see the event, and Thunder when you hear it. Modern technology does the rest.

To perform this trivial task even more accurately, you can enter the temperature of your surroundings to more precisely calculate the speed of sound. You can also choose between U.S./Imperial and metric measurements depending on your personal unit preferences.

Should its intended purpose be insufficiently useful, this application can also be used as a reasonably precise (if redundant) stopwatch, a speed-of-sound calculator, a Fahrenheit/Celsius converter, or as an odometer if you happen to be traveling at precisely the speed of sound.

Note: Use of application while operating supersonic aircraft is not recommended or approved.

Thunder & Lightning App Comments & Reviews

Thunder & Lightning Positive Reviews

A Slick Little AppAlthough the creators of this app call it trivial, I think it's a pretty cool little program. This would be very good for small kids who find themselves afraid of lightning. You could show them how to use the controls and soon they'd forget about being scared. This could make them feel safer at night. The app was down for quite some time. I do like the improvements. It was basic in that primitive state, but now the improvements make it look more like a professional app. Thanks for bringing it back!.Version: 2.0

ExceptionalThis single-task app does its work exceptionally well!.Version: 2.0

Fun for us weather geeksEvery time I know a thunder storm is approaching, I pull out my iPod and run this app. It beats trying to count out the seconds waiting for the thunder. The only thing I would change would be to have one large button vs. 2 small ones. 1st touch for the lightning and the 2nd touch for the thunder. The larger area would make it easier to watch the skies instead of making sure my finger is positioned over the correct button. Other than that, an excellent app..Version: 0

Neat little toolThanks for the update!.Version: 2.0

You don't think it's practical?Then you've never been riding across the midwest in storm season on a motorcycle, wondering whether you're going to make it to the next town before the violent thunderstorm that seems to be in all directions around you catches you outside of your Faraday cage, and when you're the highest metallic object in a quarter-mile circle. I personally think that the program is practical....Version: 0

Awesome!Very great tool for meteorology geeks! The history display was a brilliant feature idea as it can provide evidence as to whether a storm is approaching or moving away. Accuracy based on atmospheric temperature is just one more added plus that makes this a very usable tool!.Version: 0

A Favorite Arrives on iPhoneGood app. Something similar was a favorite on my old Palm. Glad to see it on iPhone! A few improvements: (1) Having separate "Thunder" and "Lightning" buttons makes them smaller. Better for a single button of over twice the size to toggle between "Lightning" and "Thunder" with each tap, for easier operation while looking at the sky instead of the app. (2) Allow typing the temperature. Much easier than dragging a slider. (3) Should display the average time and distance of all records in the current log. This would average out errors in time in tapping the buttons across multiple lightning strikes, for greater accuracy in knowing the distance..Version: 0

Carriage driverThanks for a useful app! I use it to track lightning between radar updates to decide whether to seek cover or take another ride. Comes in handy in texas where storms develop quickly..Version: 0

Nice, clean, functional App!This does what it says. Can't beat the price. One reviewer, that gave a 1 star rating, suggested a slew of feature requests. The requests were cool but also required a lot more work and had potential problems related to the automated features. I like this App because it is simple and to the point..Version: 0

Does what it says (I guess)Haven't had a chance to use it yet (no thunderstorms or supersonic jet rides) but the speed of sound calculator seems to be correct. Love the description!.Version: 0

GreatFree, does exactly as it says, and no ads. The help documentation wryly notes that you can use this as an odometer "if you happen to be traveling at precisely the speed of sound"..Version: 0

Get itSurely an app like this will not stay free for long. I like the 2 button layout. I say keep it as is!! People always need something to complain about it seems... We r talking 2 buttons people!.Version: 0

Does what it says it's going to do without bugging me outNot sure that I would need to track lightning but it would be interesting to see how far away the scrappers are from my house.Version: 0

Its a very cool appI bought this app looking for a stopwatch and I stumbled across this app. I think it is a cool app. I always wondered the time to distance ratio and now I don't need to it's really cool.Version: 0

Good appGreat app. No problems with it. Doesnt freeze up. I think the speaker should pick up the sound of the thunder tho. And it's free.Version: 0

ReviewLike many said for such a simple calculation app, awesome job. Hope I don't get struck by lighting. Guess I'll have to use the app to get inside at less than 2 miles!.Version: 0

Artillery tool!We learn a similar technique in the millitary for determining the distance of an artillery round landing from our location ( when just going by sight and sound)..Version: 0

Outstanding!I would have paid for this app. Great job developers..Version: 0
