Lightning AutoShot Terms of Use
Last updated: 12 November 2026
Lightning AutoShot is licensed to you under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/). The terms below are added to it. By using the app you agree to both.
Weather and the storm outlook
The weather and the thunderstorm forecast in the app come from Apple Weather.
YOUR USE OF THIS REAL TIME WEATHER GUIDANCE APPLICATION OR WEBSITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. WEATHER DATA MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. Apple Weather Data may vary from actual conditions due to variable factors, such as signal issues and geopolitical events, that can affect the accuracy of Apple Weather Data.
You may not reverse engineer the weather service the app uses or the weather data it shows, extract that data from the app in bulk, or build a database from it.
Not a safety tool
The app is for photographing lightning. It is not designed for emergency or life-saving use. It does not warn you of lightning, and nothing it shows, including the distance estimate and the storm outlook, tells you whether it is safe to be outside. When thunder roars, go indoors.
What the app does and does not promise
The app looks for lightning in the camera's picture and can miss flashes. Distances are estimates from the time between a flash and its thunder. The app is provided as it is, as Apple's agreement above sets out.
