Flash Boom for PC

App Screenshots

Software Features and Description

1. The original Flash Boom program I knew of was writen by Kim Moelgaard for the Palm OS.

2. The rule of thumb says to allow about 5 seconds for each mile (3 seconds for each kilometer).

3. Tap the BOOM button when you hear the thunder.

4. The purpose of Flash Boom is simple.

5. Tap the FLASH button when you see the lightning.

6. In reality it is more like 4.72 seconds per mile and 2.99 seconds per kilometer.

7. The button will change to BOOM.

8. Thunder will usually not travel more than 15 miles (24 kilometers).

9. If you are less than 5 miles from the lightning, please take cover.

10. I adapted the concept (without access to the code) to the iPhone.

11. It will give you an estimate of how far away lightning is.

12. Liked Flash Boom? here are 5 Weather apps like Shake! - Flashlight & Compass; Weather - The Weather Channel; WeatherBug – Weather Forecast; AccuWeather: Weather Alerts;

Needs improvment

By TheGadgetinator (Pcmac user)

This app would be really great if it used the light sensor that controls auto backlight dimming or the camera on an iPhone to detect the lightning. As well as use the microphone to listen and detect the thunder. This would be great for setting up a lightning auto detection logging ability that would log the time, location and estimated distance. It could also pull weather data off the net to determine the local temperature to increase accuracy as well as the ability to enter temp manually. You could also use the compass of the 3gs to input the heading of where the lightning was spotted. Then you could actually plot the estimated location of the lightning on a map in the app.
Nice

By SummerSun101 (Pcmac user)

A simple way to find out how far away the storm is from you.
Simple but works

By Electric Smith (Pcmac user)

An exceedingly simple, specialized application, but it does exactly what it says, and with far more accuracy than the usual "one thousand, two thousand..." counting method. If you're interested in meteorology or simply bored on a dark and stormy night it's worth a look.
