Do not become a statistic. Hundreds of individuals are injured or killed every year by lightning and STRIKE is here to change that and help you keep athletes, fans and staff safe. This $7.99/year subscription service is designed specifically to notify you when lightning is detected and again when it’s safe to continue play/practice.

Additionally, STRIKE can alert on over 100 other hazardous weather events. Upon in-app purchase, your iPhone will “wake up” with alerts and also track your location to warn you wherever you go. This vital sports application is designed with administrators, coaches, players and parents in mind. Be warned of impending lightning and severe weather per NCAA and National Federation of State High School Associations standards, among others.

STRIKE harnesses the power of the ENTLN lightning network and combines it with WDT’s patented alerting engine to deliver instant notifications whether you’re on or off the field. Lightning alerts are sent when a lightning strike is first detected within 6 miles of your location and an all clear is sent when no lightning is detected within that range for 30 minutes. These distance rules are recommended by lightning experts and adhered to by NCAA, NFHS, and other sports associations to ensure safety while outdoors.

STRIKE Features:
• Patented Alerting Engine: STRIKE provides more accurate alerts than those offered by typical consumer alerting services. Patent #8519860
• Follow Me: STRIKE will alert you if you are in an area when a watch/warning is issued, without you having to do anything.
• Audio: STRIKE provides audio alerts in the form of beeps followed by a brief description of the alert type.
• Radar: Quickly reference where you are in relation to adverse weather utilizing the in-app radar mapping capability that features watch and warning overlay.
• Quick Forecast: Access current and forecast weather information for all locations from a single screen.
• VoiceOver: User friendly for blind and low-vision users. We have optimized this app to work with Apple’s VoiceOver technology, ensuring as many people can utilize our life-saving app as possible.
