I've been using this for years. It's very useful in the summer season for hiking. There's an Android app that lets you configure alert if there's a lightning strike nearby. IIRC you could also buy their detector hardware and join the network to help improve accuracy.

Buying proprietary hardware to support a project does not make much sense to me.

They also haven't really sold it for a while AFAIK, a few other comments here have also mentioned this.

Does it play a thunder sound? ;)

Or play Thunder Struck by AC/DC! :-)
