Hello, I've rated 5 stars to help out with your app in google Play, but I haven't used it in a thunder/lightning situation. I have a few questions: - Is it possible to change the camera viewing angle to a wide angle? - is it possible to adjust and lock the camera exposure compensation (EV +- 1, 2,5...)? - what the capture response delay time? how fast does it take the picture when a detection is detected? - add optional audio signal when their is a capture (like on Blitzortung thunder map)?

I pointed it at the sky during a storm with frequent clear lightning with both default and the maximum sensitivity, and then the quadrants thing. Not a single capture, but I did get a bunch of plain sky photos. Very disappointing, got wet for nothing. edit: almost forgot to mention the shady thousand or so cookies you're expected to swallow. So it wants to spy on you AND doesn't do the job.

Seems to be a good app at catching that lightning shot. It saves several images when the lightning is detected. the images appear to be only 640 x480 resolution and I don't see any way to change that. Due to the low resolution of images I'll probably stick to recording 8k and pulling frames manually.

Don't waste your time. It doesn't work in my experience. prime lightning strikes but no photos to show

works well no problems

don't waste your uploading this app every time you try to take a photograph of lightning and add pops up who wants to deal with none of that nonsense

A great idea, but: the app is taking a severely cropped image at 22:9 ratio on my Pixel 8 without a possibility to change it, thus cutting off a third of the frame area, which is damn important for lightning photography. I would appreciate at least some settings of the picture format and quality... Once implemented, I would gladly buy a premium for 3-4 EUR, instead of seeing the adds.
