  • Split decision

    I am on a sailboat in the Caribbean Islands and pay strict attention to hurricanes during the season. These graphic forecasts are a valuable addition to other resources, and has become my goto source. I do wish there was a way to connect through this app to the « spaghetti models » or that the land areas (islands) would be clearer, without having to make the cloud layer too transparent to be useful. Perhaps the outline of the land (lat and lon) as the topmost layer, would do it. With so many storms in the N. Atlantic, thé overlapping tracks become hard to read.

  • Awesome app

    Does really great job of consolidating and presenting tropical weather systems. Access to the GOES satellite in real time is great for seeing active weather systems. Live near Galveston so current information is critical. One app vs searching multiple sites is way more convenient and less stressful. Started with free version several years ago and have upgraded to the pro version. I would highly recommend either version. Developer is VERY good at quickly responding to questions. During the recent Laura/Marco assault on our area this app was heavily relied on.

  • BEST-EVER

    I’ve been a ‘weather bug’ ever since learning to fly small planes & land on grass runways & frozen lakes as a teenager in Michigan, and this - especially the variety of storm pathway/intensity modeling & forecast options - is the most innovative & feature-laden app I could ever imagine...& that’s just on the FREE part. So whether you’re flying, floating or driving, this is THE go-to Weather app to have on your pre-launch checklist for every trip, or for just staying inside & expertly tracking potentially dangerous storms. Thank you!

  • BETTER THAN 5 STARS!!!

    How do I love thee app, let me count the ways :)
    This app is so easy to use. As others have said, the developer took free information, put it all in one place, made it easy to navigate, and doesn’t charge for it. Who is this person or people?
    Don’t they know that they should charge a lot of money for this?
    Seriously, I would gladly pay money - a one time purchase - for this app.
    GREAT feature: the developer puts a note on pages. For example, today we are watching hurricane Laura approaching land. He / she / they have a note explaining that the website is getting so much traffic that it will probably load slow, just wait and it will load. And this app is FREE.
    I am learning from the notes, I am getting all the information I need, and this app is FREE.
    I think everyone should have this app, and check out the other apps by this developer! I now have 4 apps from this developer, did I mention that most of them are FREE.
    Yep I kinda like this app.

  • An idiot-proof resource.

    Very simple, and easy to interpret. A “must” for anyone living in the hurricane belt. One gets the feeling the developers are trying hard to permanently improve the product.

  • Highly recommend

    If you are looking for alerts and real-time information on hurricanes, I highly recommend this incredibly comprehensive app. Continual improvements are being made including new functionality and user interface improvements. And if you want even more there is a cost effective pro option that includes even more resources and views. The developer has been very responsive to any questions and suggests I have had.

  • Great app and getting better with every release!

    I’ve been using this app for a while now. Originally, I was just looking for a way to view NHC images easily on mobile. Their web page isn’t the greatest on a mobile browser. When I found this app, it was exactly that. Not many features at that point, but it worked well and was easy to navigate. Basically, it just had the images along with a radar. Every release since then has improved the app and there is now so much interesting information.

    If you live in an area where paying attention to hurricane forecasts is important, there isn’t a better app!

  • My GO TO Hurricane app

    I have been using this app for a couple of years and have been extremely pleased. Living in Florida and having a home on the water can be stressful in the event you need to evacuate. This is the only app I use to get right to the facts and alerts without scrolling through a lot of unnecessary garbage. Plus it updates very quickly and has all the information needed. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanted to stay up to date on tropical weather systems. In fact, most of my friends have started using it after they see how user friendly it is and how the current information is easy to find.

  • Way better than trudging through the web site

    Have had this for a while, but TS Cristobal had me pull it out and really check it out. Seems to have everything I use. I know the NOAA guys work hard on the website, but it’s still a 1990s mostly Text, too busy, cryptic, and all too often multiple click paths to find something or even worse look up what something is. SMH

    Three thoughts to improve it.
    1) (important to me) am old and zoom all the time on my iPad/iPhone. Needs zoom feature.
    2) (nice to have) Would be nice if there was an info button with each product that includes either a simple description or pulls the website’s description and displays it.
    3) (would pay extra) Add ability to download product in max res to a PDF file.
