Hurricane Tracker For iPad

June 27, 2023

- We are introducing active storm widgets! No more opening the app to see if there are active systems. See this information right on your home screen! Small widget - will display up to 4 storm types. When there are active systems, this widget will only display storm types with active storms. When there are no active storms, it will display 4 storm categories (hurricanes, tropical storms, depressions & invests) showing "0" storms. Medium widget - will always display up the 5 storm types even if they are "0". Widgets will automatically refresh and pull the latest storm counts from the server. Widgets will also update when you launch the app. When you tap on a widget, you will be taken to the "Current Storms" section of the app to view information on active storms. Storm types with active systems will animate and show the number of active storms within each storm type. The number represents how many active systems there currently are within that storm type. For example, if "hurricanes" is showing a "1" then that means there is one active hurricane we are tracking. The storm types are hurricanes (red), tropical storms (orange), depressions (green), potential tropical cyclones (blue), and invests (teal). Note: Due to limited space within the small widget, it will only show up to 4 storm types at once. The medium widget will always show the status of all 5 storm types. Widgets will display Atlantic or Eastern Pacific storm counts based on your "default basin settings" located in the settings panel of the app. - Bug fixes

**Required Update for All Users** - faster page loading, faster server! - moved all data feeds to a new server that can handle the amount of users Hurricane Tracker has. Please update asap to ensure you still will continue to get data. The old servers will only be maintained for a short period of time. You no longer need to delete/reinstall to move to the new server as we have requested in the past. Just simply upgrade to move your app to the newer, faster server - if you fail to update, you may no longer receive current data or you may experience connection timeouts Thanks everyone for your understanding as we worked out the server bugs/issues for this hurricane season.

**IMPORTANT: Please Delete/Reinstall the app using the same iTunes account you purchased the app with to change to our new data sever. You will not be recharged. Thanks!** - Changed all data in the app over to a new server that can handle an unlimited amount of users at one time so no one gets the "503 Server Error" again
