Leave a Review Hurricane Tracker For iPad
Everything I need
I live in Florida and we need to keep our eyes on the tropics. I have been using this for several years. It is comprehensive and pulls together all the data you need to make appropriate plans. I like the notifications and as soon as I receive one I review the app for details. Keeping me informed is keeping me safe.Show lessThe Florida Fisherman
Essential Tool for Extreme Weather Preparation and Response
I use this comprehensive tool for early tracking and accuracy of forecasts as an essential component in our preparation and response to extreme weather events along the entire Gulf Coast. I serve as a volunteer Coordinator of the Houston Texas Region of a large Church Organization. Your app has benefitted thousands of Gulf Coast residents and has resulted in lives being saved through early warnings.Show lessAnchorman66
Very comprehensive
This app provides access to a very comprehensive set of hurricane resources. In addition to the generally available information from the National Hurricane Center, it also displays model guidance tracks, steering current maps, and many other data and analysis sources. This is my primary source of information on tropical storms and hurricanes in the Western Hemisphere.Show lessMAF
Great info, awful app
This app gets points for including the information that I need, and more. But the usability and visual design of the app itself are tragic. The storms that you want to follow are buried under “mystery meat navigation”, where you have to guess the storm’s current strength to be able to find it. Once you find it, the charts are also buried under mystery meat navigation. And they’re divided into three categories so that you’re forced to interact with the app to navigate forward and back, forward and back, just to see them all. Visual design is subjective and I don’t want to insult someone who obviously worked hard on it, but let’s just say that it’s the opposite of current minimalist, modernist design trends. These things start to really grate on your nerves when there is a storm near you and you need to check frequently for updates. If I could find an app with similar information and better usability then I would switch in a second.
Update: Same UI a year later, but the developers think it’s perfect. I’m hoping to find a better app for this year’s hurricane season because this one was nothing but frustration during Hurricane Dorian.Show lessRyan-in-Miami

There are many ways to quickly get to storm info. The quickest is simply tapping on the storm's banner under overview or current storms or "Quick View" in the upper right hand corner of the main page. Couldn't be any simpler. We can't design an app that will please everyone as we all have different tastes, but we've designed it to fit the product that we operate. With a 4.8 rating average spanning thousands of reviews across 10+ years, most users love the UI and we are always tweaking things here and there to make it even better. Thanks!Fantastic
We live in Florida, USA, so this app is a life saver - literally. It works perfectly, gives you all the information you may need days and days prior to events for planning purposes. It’s much more than a weather app, it is an in-depth, detailed description for local coastline expectations, ships at sea, Saharan dust movement, wind shear, and everything else that affects the development and movement of hurricanes. I check it everyday between June 1 - Nov 30.Show lessebbyfl
Has kept us well-informed since Hurricane Irma
I use this app daily during Florida hurricane season. I’ve downloaded it to both my iPad and Galaxy phone and it is absolutely the best. My wife has it on her iPhone and it works well there too.
Tons of graphics that are updated several times a day. Whenever there is an update, you can allow your phone to sound an alert that sounds like a gust of wind. Awesome prediction graphs that combine multiple models to not only estimate storm path but also storm intensity.
Thanks to the National Hurricane Center in combination with Hurricane Tracker, we were able to evacuate our home in Key Largo well in advance of Irma.
I have recommended this app. to all of my friends.Show lessscubadubadog
The Best Hurricane App!
This is hands down THE APP for hurricanes, I have used it for years!
There is nothing out there this accurate and this easy to use. AMAZING. Worth every dime! I’m a Floridian and I couldn’t live without it. I would love to see them add a Jet Stream animation map but its hard to improve on perfect!Renaissancemon
great app!
I depend on this app more than any other app to keep me updated. It gives precise, dependable info and living in an area that is prone to hurricanes, it is a tremendous help. I like the way it gives info about all aspects of the storms, intensity, potential paths and alerts. I highly recommend this app.Show lessRoe2013
All the information you need in one place
Living in southeast Florida I downloaded this app as well as some others over time to help try to stay abreast of the Atlantic storms. With Dorian coming my way I opened this app and was amazed at all the information it contained. Having everything at you finger tips in one app made it easier to gather the information I needed without the drama of the weather experts and their need to improve their ratings.Show lessLennyU
Storms not showing up on home page
I have had this app for a while and it has been had many good graphics and other features, however recently I have noticed that current storms were not showing up on the home page that has amount of invests, depressions, storms, hurricanes etc. For example, right now invest 95 and 96E are not showing up, and in the Atlantic invest 96L isn’t either. Also last week tropical storm Henriette didn’t show up either. Other than that great app when storms show up on home page.Show lessstormtrackimg

We had some server issues that have been resolved months ago. We are here and ready for a busy 2020 season! Hope you will come back.
