Perry Weather-Lightning Alerts Reviews

by NoMoreBadMusic

I had previously used another great lightning tracker app until it was taken off PerryWeatherLightningAlerts store in September 2017. It also required a subscription to use which being a weather geek was never an issue for me. Tracking lightning strikes is an important tool in finding out where I need to film storms while also keeping myself safe. Since that app got removed I have been using a different app which I really do not like. We have thunderstorms in the forecast this Wednesday so I am looking to find a better lightning tracking app. I do not mind paying a subscription and bought PerryWeatherLightningAlerts guessing there would be an in app purchase option for a subscription to use PerryWeatherLightningAlerts . Instead PerryWeatherLightningAlerts ended up directing me to its website. The company who runs PerryWeatherLightningAlerts seems to be gearing their services only to other companies for professional use. So if you are some random guy like me hoping to use PerryWeatherLightningAlerts for private use either as part of pursuing the great hobby of storm chasing or just to warn you and your family of an approaching thunderstorm you are not in luck. Their website does not have any functions to purchase a subscription to use PerryWeatherLightningAlerts but they have a 10 day free trial option for professional use. I do not want a 10 day free trial. Their website seems advanced enough to be capable of listing a subscription price with an “Add to Cart” button next to it. Until then my search continues.

PerryWeatherLightningAlerts no longer works since updating my iPad Pro to iPadOS 13. Hopefully they will push out a fix to this very soon because as of this update I can no longer access my data when on the go or away from a desktop computer. Since the update all I get now when opening PerryWeatherLightningAlerts is Error Failed to Perform Initial Setup. Please Try Again.

Also, please allow for viewing of PerryWeatherLightningAlerts in Landscape mode. It currently only allows for viewing in Portrait mode, which isn’t helpful at all when having to switch back and forth between different apps.

Not only does it not do anything it is clunky and slow doing it. I would give it zero stars if that were an option.

PerryWeatherLightningAlerts is terrible. It lost all of my saved locations and now I can’t add anything back in. It’s not sensitive at all when I try to change settings. And it wasn’t sending me alerts even when it did seem to be working properly. I’d give it zero stars if I could. We just installed the weather system at our school. I’m the athletic director. How can I possibly monitor the weather to keep athletes safe using PerryWeatherLightningAlerts with all of the issues? Seems to me like we wasted our money. I hope it gets fixed before fall sports start up in a few weeks.

Free download but requires a subscription to actually use it. No in app purchases mentioned - I guess a subscription isn’t an In App Purchase. Looking at their web site there is absolutely no indication of what the subscription costs. I guess you have to sign up for the free trial before you can find out the cost. NO THANKS. Too bad, because from what I can see it’s a good looking app.

The first review says it all

PerryWeatherLightningAlerts doesn’t allow you to create an account so there’s no point if you don’t already have one.

Great app shows lighting in less than 5, 5-10, greater than 10 minutes. Very useful tool when you want to be out in the weather. But want to be safe.

Just started using Pocket Perry and really love it. Accurate/concise and support has been great. Love the proximity to your location feature on maps!

Pocket Perry did everything advertised! We got our kids off the field and to safety just in time. Highly recommend!

We have been using PerryWeatherLightningAlerts for the past year and it has proven to be extremely beneficial. The alerts are accurate and timely. The consultation piece is essential for scheduling around inclement weather. Highly recommend!

Works great. Adjustable warning area distances are helpful.

My school district uses this for every coach and it’s great! We use it for lighting and for weather

We looked at the bigger companies that made the perry weather knock off app, but they look junky and don’t work very well.

The Pocket Perry service has saved our university numerous times from making the wrong call. This system is a necessity for us!

This is the weather system our district uses for lightning notifications. PerryWeatherLightningAlerts makes it so much easier to monitor incoming weather. The way it displays lightning strikes and the 30min all clear count down makes it easy for informing all admin and coaches when it is safe to resume play.

Easily the best lightning alert app on the market. We've had bad experiences w other services but Perry Weather has been a great investment from day 1. Our school (4AA, moderate size) uses it for sports and as an AD I feel better knowing we're completely covered during inclement weather. Really like the web dashboard and consulting as well! Would give 4.5 if I could only because there's no satellite imagery on the radar yet.
