Leave a Review National Hurricane Center Data
My go-to app in hurricane country
I live in South Florida and turn to this app first every time a tropical system approaches.
There is no editorializing or commentary, just aggregation of National Hurricane Center and local weather service official publications — which is perfect. The NHC is amazing, but their website isn’t the easiest to navigate. This app centralizes the resources I need to help understand my risk.
I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 because, first, I’m a tough crowd, and second, there are a few small areas that could be made even better. For example, I’d like to see the location in the UI of Update and Local bulletins switched, and it would be nice if flood and storm surge products were more prominent (water kills more than wind!). Local watches and warnings would also be a great addition; they’re basically the only thing I need another app to check.
Kudos and huge appreciation to the solo dev, who’s created a truly useful resource.Show lessFlorida Lynn
Vetted info. No hype or hyperbole
I’ve lived in Florida for over 30 years. The most frustrating thing about hurricane season are the newscasters and their sponsors who make money with their predictions of doom and gloom. We lose confidence in them, and then fail to adequately prepare when the situation truly requires it.
This app provides the information we need to know in an easily accessible format. It stays current and allows us to exercise our own judgment based on information from well established and respected sources.Show lessDevoraB
Thanks!
I’m not big on writing reviews but I must say this is my go to app for hurricanes. It’s clear, it’s quick and updated frequently during an event. My only wish would be a clearer view of the spaghetti maps and perhaps a supplemental page listing the definitions of the string abbreviations. I find the European model is the most accurate for the Gulf and east coast; often I just can’t seem to find it in the melange.
Thank you so much for a truly useful tool.Show lessEloiseWaffles.
I love this app
I live in the Florida panhandle and use this app every hurricane season. I went through hurricane Michael and it’s really important for me to stay up to date, I won’t be doing that again lol. The data is from national hurricane center so it’s reliable. I don’t have to watch so much of the tv news with their intense music and doom/gloom no matter what mentality. It’s a quick way to check on things as I go about my day. I also like how easy it is to switch between storms.Show lesssomerandomnane
Floridian “Must Have” app
I’ve lived in Florida for years, and I think I’ve been using this app since 2019. It keeps up to date with the NHC graphics and has spaghetti models included. This is a huge deal for Floridians especially if you’re on the move a lot during storms. Please keep it up and keep it add free, this is critical information made VERY accessible for us when things get a little rough.Show lessbigmouf
Great App for Hurricane Tracking In the Atlantic, Caribbean and Pacific
Wherever you live you can follow hurricane developments and see where the hurricanes are tracking. Not only for your own area but you can see what’s happening in the hurricane prone areas elsewhere where your family and friends live. Took me a few times to get use to all the available information in the app but don’t give up. It’s an extremely valuable tool.Show lessHamps59
Good review
I have lived in the panhandle of Florida for the past 35 years seeing many hurricanes come and go. What I have learned is that no two of them are totally alike. This app and you people are great in what you’re doing for us. I feel that the criticism from some in Ian’s path recently are unfounded.
We were hit by Michael four years ago, so I know how bad it can be when it comes to your back door. People are too ready in this time to try and find someone else to blame when they make an error in judgment You guys are doing your job very well and I ask you to please keep up the good work. Florida has such an influx. of people that are new and uneducated in hurricanes, but become experts overnight.
You guys are doing a great job. Please don’t let these few negative people hamper your efforts. We appreciate what you do. Thank you and keep up the good work!Show lessjanwayne5
Developer Response
Thank you for the review!Fascinating!
Got this app because I wanted to see spaghetti models and other actual data re: approaching storms, not hear “interpretations” of the data from my local news outlets. I was surprised to find this app simply fascinating - I have learned so much about weather and how data is collected and presented. The app is well-designed, clear and concise, easy to navigate, with timely updates and minimal ad intrusions.Show lessLishibelle
Very Helpful
I moved to a Hurricane area after retirement and I had no clue about what to look for or when to get out!
Now with this app I know more than the local news does! I think the news stations just want excitement and viewers. This App shows you the true warning and direction or a storm.
I would highly recommend this App for anyone wanting to know about storms in the Ocean.
It is a lifesaver when it comes to Big Storms!Show lessRestfornow99
Comprehensive and user friendly
We live on the East coast and regularly bareboat charter in the Caribbean and Central America. This app is an indispensable part of our planning and monitoring of developing systems in the Atlantic. I keep a slew of weather apps on my phone, but really only need this and Dark Sky (sadly soon to go the way of the DoDo due to Apple buying their technology and discontinuing their superior interface) for all of my weather needs.Show lessNavy Blue Tarheel
