Still Best Real Time Hurricane App!
Seven years ago, this was a hurricane app for the Atlantic only until I approached the developer to make some overall positive changes to this app to include the Eastern and Central Pacific including a radar map for the Hawaiian Islands.
Since that time, we’ve seen several GOES satellites come and go in which we lost some key features over the years.
On March 1,2022, NOAA launched the new GOES-T Satellite to be renamed to GOES-18 once it reaches it’s final orbit, which it did on May 13-22, 2022 after some orbital adjustments. This satellite will be renamed again in May 2023 to GOES-West after the next satellite launch here in a few months in the cue.
Some of those key features will come back with the next satellite launch such as the world Sea Surface Temperature Map( SST) Interactive and the South Eastern Pacific Radar Map Interactive with the next several weeks. This entire app is interactive and it much easier to sense the direction, speed, size and intensity of a named hurricane.
It’s a lot of labor and hard work involved to connect, match up data and update this interactive real time hurricane radar maps to this new GOES-18 Satellite feed but you will notice that these interactive Doppler Radar maps are like no other in Apple’s App Store currently.
Currently, the Hawaiian Islands are under hurricane threats from Bonnie, which was downgraded and Darby, which was just upgraded to a CAT 3 but will hopefully pass south of the Hawaiian Islands this weekend while we are experiencing Kings Tides.
On this Saturday, July 16 from 9am to 12noon, the Makani ‘Ino ARES Hurricane Drill will happen at the same time along with the RIMPAC 2022 Military Exercise to add some possible realistic data and Amateur Radio EmComm Communications that couldn’t have any better timing than this to add some realism to these important exercises.
With that said, this Hurricane App with be playing a key role with us doing mobile operations including on several military bases this coming Saturday morning. As the Net Controller for the Honolulu NWS SKYWARN Program at the University of Hawaii-Manoa Campus, this app is going to play a vital role for me while on the road and while going to each mobile preplanned location on my iPhone.
Please support this app as improvements will be made over the next couple of months. A big Mahalo!Show lessReconMarine911
Buggy
Every time I want to see the predicted hurricane track, it has to “load” 30-50 images. Why? Just show the hurricane of interest (let me “pin” it)
Also, in the hurricane forecast and discussion, the entire text is on ONE LINE. This is impossible to read.SnoopDogg1
Where’s the Hurricane
Hurricane Dorian is almost non-existent on this app. This was my favorite hurricane app for years but something has drastically change. When you open the app it automatically goes to the global weather which would be good if you could actually interact with it and zoom in or select an area of interest...
Please fixShow lessowlowlowl
Awful data hog. Slow
Removing now. Forces to load 50 maps EVERY time I open it and every time I tap to choose a radar etc. And is worst data hog of any weather type app I have ever used and maybe any app. It just used about 40 megs of data in less than one minute!petenbama

You must fix the lighting tab because when you click on the tab the app goes off. That is not supposed to happen. I just downloaded this app and I give it four stars. Can you also have in the radar maps Atlantic and Pacific areas. Can you also go through the entire app and see what tabs are work and which one are not working and fix then all. Make the app more realistic on everything that is in it and possibly add new features.Show lessBlack and Gold Attack
As-based
The screen shots for the app didn't show the ads. I realize an app needs to make money, and I'd gladly pay for such an app. But, I was disappointed to download this app and see it has ads without a purchase option.irondog70
Hurricane Matthew????
I am very disappointed in this app. Hurricane Matthew just ran straight up Floridas coast, reaching cat 4 and not once did it ever show up on this app. No hurricane tracking. You could only see it on the radar. I find that very disappointing. Had to turn to other apps for needed tracking info.Shortg
Worst tracker every
With a Cat 4 storm approaching Florida it only show track of a tropical storm off shore that is not a threat to anybody.
Only gave it four stars to move it up the chart if it had a -4 stars I give it that. Ads cover up selection bar for Atlantic/pacific
Junk, don't waste your time.ZNightflyer
Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia Radar Blank!
The other locations are all wonderful and work perfectly. That said, when you select on the radar images for Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, you get nothing but a white, blank screen and so no radars in motion. It is a huge disappointment. There is no way to see the mega-typhoon activity in that region of the world. It used to be possible. Why are there suddenly banner ads on this application???Show lessKansas City Greek
