### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-25*

Does what I want and does it well

### 5/5 — Cyclone- storm tracker

*2026-04-12*

I love this website because it always gives information of any updates about any changes of the storms.

### 4/5 — Notifications

*2026-03-28*

This app is without doubt one of the best, however it needs to have the ability to notify users of their watch zones otherwise it’s of no real benefit for me.

### 5/5 — X3

*2025-10-20*

X33

### 5/5 — Radar app

*2025-10-04*

I use this app multiple times daily. Im a retired man living on a sail boat & traveling. This app helps me plan my trips to avoid wx, used w/other apps i can plan my trips to maximum safety. Keep up the good work..👍

Exvelent app. Friendly and accurate

### 4/5 — Storm tracker

Great for quick updates

### 5/5 — My Weather Tracker

*2025-08-16*

This is a good app for managing what’s coming down the pipe as far as weather is concerned. Unlike my other weather app that forecasts imminent conditions that you can then plan days out with. I use both and get quite reasonable results most of the time.

### 3/5 — Ads make quick checks almost impossible!

*2025-07-07*
