Lightning (v. 1.11) Разработано Mark Anacker |
The original Android Lightning distance calculator. Press the top button when you see the flash, press the bottom one when you hear the thunder. The distance is shown in Miles and KM, up to 20 Miles. If you like, you can also start and stop the timer with the Camera button, trackball, or D-Pad.
Fun and educational, it's also useful for outdoor activities where lightning may be a hazard (handy for lifeguards, referees, playground helpers, etc.).
Not recommended for artillery spotting...
Suggestions welcome - please email me.
This App will never contain annoying ads - ever!
**** SECURITY NOTICE ****
Lightning uses the following permissions ONLY:
Storage
Modify/delete SD card contents. Not that it really *does* anything with the SD card...
System tools
Prevent phone from sleeping
Phone calls
Read phone state and identity
The last one is a result of building for Android 1.6 compatibility - Lightning does *NOT* actually access the phone information in any way.

[2013-04-22] A Google User: Good Looks good, can't wait to test it on real storm! |
|
[2012-07-23] A Google User: Simple & Works Nice small simple app that does a great job & no ads or data used to drain the battery. Wish these apps could also dim the screen as an option to save more power as some storms can be quite long for use with a not fully charged phone. I like this app best. |
