Thank you for such a good app. ### 4/5 — Storm tracker *2025-02-25, version 2.6* Great for quick updates ### 3/5 — Bruce *2024-12-11, version 2.6* More detail of the pacific would be good ! ### 4/5 — Review *2024-10-24, version 2.6* Good ### 5/5 — Sturmkartecperfekt *2024-10-09* Tolle Darstellung von Stürmen und deren Bewegung schön wäre die Möglichkeit Isobaren einblenden zu können ### 4/5 — What do the different colors mean? *2024-10-08, version 2.6* Cyclone uses different color dots for the storm tracking, but I can’t find anywhere where I explains what the different colors mean? Seems to be some kind of code maybe related to the storm intensity but there’s no key or legend to explain. Also not easy to see immediately where the storm is now.. You can figure it out by zooming in and reading the dates and times on the different dots. But it’d be nice if the approximate location was highlighted in someway.. ### 5/5 — Great, but a key would be nice. *2024-09-29* Overall the best cyclone tracking app by far. My only request is a key so someone new knows what the colours of the cyclone icons in the path mean. So colour means Cat n. ### 5/5 — 良い！ *2024-08-29* 台風の進路を比較して他のアプリと比べて1番見やすく正確 ### 5/5 — 的確で良いです *2024-08-24* 色々他のサイトも見ましたが、的確で良いです。 ### 5/5 — New cyclone *2024-07-09* Fast, precise and clear. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2024-07-03* Exvelent app. Friendly and accurate ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-03-16, version 2.7* Why the ads now that FORCE you to click on them . Bye! ### 1/5 — どこにも説明がない *2024-08-29* アプリなどの操作に疎いのでどこを見ても使い方がわからない せっかくなのに残念です ### 1/5 — CMが邪魔過ぎて残念 *2024-08-12* CMが邪魔過ぎて残念　　アンインストールしました。 ### 1/5 — Worst weather app *2024-07-06* Too many ads that hide the close button. Deleting the app ### 1/5 — paid for it *2024-01-20* Apple cannot restore purchase, paying twice for it NO chance ### 1/5 — Doesn’t show the cyclone that’s happening right now near NZ. *2023-04-13, version 2.3* Inaccurate data ### 1/5 — Only works for America *2020-07-14, version 1.3* This app has ‘Cyclone’ in the name, yet, it only works for America? Deleted and refund requested by Apple 👍🏻 ### 1/5 — 台風 *2020-05-16* 台風が表示されないのは何故？有料アプリの割には使い物にならない ### 1/5 — App appears to no longer be supported *2020-05-15* I have used this app for years and loved it but now it seems to have just died. Cyclones are no longer showing up on the app. The app hasn’t been updated for years so probably will never work again. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-04-06, version 1.3* Cyclones are not showing up on the map anymore? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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..👍 ### 5/5 — 👍 *2025-09-29* Exvelent app. Friendly and accurate ### 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. ### 5/5 — Hurricane *2025-05-11* It works ### 5/5 — That’s epic!! *2025-05-03* I love this app ### 5/5 — Hurricane *2025-03-15* It works ### 5/5 — Capt.
