Even more LETHAL!

Remember LETHAL? It's an app that can keep you awake at night by telling you about all of the dangerous things that can kill, maim, or at least injure you. The good thing is that LETHAL does it in a humorous way.

We did a review of LETHAL a few months ago, and now the development team at Elany Arts has taken the app to a new level. Not only did they significantly upgrade LETHAL, but they also dropped the price of the app from US$1.99 down to US$0.99.

What's changed?

LETHAL now gives a risk ranking for every US and Canadian town or city with a population over 100,000, plus all Canadian National Parks. If you're within a large metropolitan area, you can watch your LETHAL index change as you drive around.
More disasters! More dangerous animals!
The crime information is more specific, with new updated crime data from the FBI database.
You can view rankings for all locations from most dangerous to least (or vice versa) for all indexes and specific risks. Want to find the #1 area to get killed by a grizzly bear? LETHAL can help.
Speaking of animals, they're now displayed with their relative risk based on prevalence in the area and confirmed attacks (I griped about this in my earlier review, since they showed mountain lions as a big risk in my suburban neighborhood).
Disasters are also displayed with their relative risk based on prevalence and confirmed incidents.

LETHAL (click opens iTunes) is a fun and fascinating app, and the new lower price and extra-chunky feature set makes it even more worthwhile.

Wow, this app is really a great way to discover quickly view what kind of dangerous wildlife there is in the area. What a great idea! I never realized that ticks are so deadly!

They added a ton of those prognoses, too... which is awesome. Also, on their site (lethalapp.com/news) now they are keeping a blog which tracks animal encounters and disasters... it's pretty interesting.

I just wish you could upload your own animal sightings. I'm sure they're working on that, though.

I think that the prognosis statements that this app gives are HILARIOUS.

I have always wondered just how lethal my town is... clearly motorcyclists seem to "buy the farm" every day here - wonder what else is dangerous? For a buck - it seems like an interesting piece of knowledge to help avoid those famous last words - "Watch this..."
