Full description

RadarBug: Professional Real-Time Storm & Lightning Tracker Get precise, professional-grade weather data at your fingertips. RadarBug is designed for weather enthusiasts, storm chasers, and anyone who needs instant, accurate information during severe weather events. ⚡ INSTANT LIGHTNING DETECTION Experience the power of a live global lightning feed. RadarBug connects directly to the Blitzortung network via high-speed WebSockets, delivering strike data to your device the second it happens. • Visual Indicators: New strikes appear as high-contrast white bolts, transitioning to persistent "+" markers after 5 minutes. • Proximity Intelligence: Tap any strike to see the exact time, distance from your location, and cardinal bearing (e.g., 12.4 mi NE). • Custom Alerting: Define your own notification radius (up to 100 miles) and receive instant push alerts when lightning enters your zone. 🌀 TROPICAL STORM & HURRICANE OUTLOOK Stay ahead of the storm with direct integration from the National Hurricane Center (NHC). • Forecast Cones: View projected paths and intensity for all active tropical systems. • Wind Swaths: Interactive polygons show the real-time reach of Hurricane and Tropical Storm force winds. • Disturbance Tracking: Monitor potential tropical developments before they are even named. 🛰️ HIGH-RESOLUTION RADAR & ALERTS • Seamless Animation: Smooth, high-def precipitation radar with frame-holding for current conditions. • NWS Integration: View live National Weather Service warnings and watches displayed as interactive, color-coded polygons. • Smart Aggregation: During intense local activity, RadarBug intelligently summarizes lightning strikes into periodic updates, keeping you informed without overwhelming your device. 🛠️ BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE & PRIVACY • Background Feed: The lightning feed continues running even when your phone is in sleep mode, ensuring you never miss an alert. • Instant Refresh: Data automatically re-syncs the moment you unlock your phone or return to the app. • GPS Privacy: Your location is processed locally on-device for strike distance calculations—it is never stored on a server or shared with third parties. • Clean Startup: Optimized for speed, launching you directly into the map view without intrusive splash screens. RadarBug: No clutter. No delay. Just the data you need to stay safe.
