Great app but one big issue. Most people use this app for going to sleep. I understand the ads and the revenue for such wonderful app. But the FULL SCREEN WHITE BACKGROUND ADS need to go! This is helping people go to sleep but a white screen ad only wakes you up when your in the dark going to bed. Otherwise this app is amazing. It has the most REALISTIC THUNDER sounds available. I love the app keep up the good work and please get rid of the full screen white background ads. Thank you

Hi Kevin, thanks for the review! I'm sorry but I don't have control over which ads are served by Google Ads. The full screen ads are infrequent and should only appear before a storm starts. After this, you can turn off your display. Please contact me at support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev if you have any questions. An ad-free version is available.

Lightning effects and thunderstorm doesn't seem to be properly spaced-out for the 7 second account that is naturally occurring and would be nice to have a ten band equalizer for the storms so I don't have to mess around with my internal phones equalizing system.

Hi James, thank you for your feedback. You can turn on Delay Thunder under Settings. The delay between lightning and thunder changes depending on the distance of the lightning strike. Please contact me at support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev if you have any questions.

A great simulator for people who have trouble sleeping. It's very nicely organized, and obviously well made. Not many ads, which is great. This can also be played while your phone is off, so it's great.
