I think it’s time for new layout for your app. Instead of links to weațheř pages. Can you put a toolbar on bottom of the app so make it easier to negative better please . Thank you Patrick O’Came ### 4/5 — Good but could be improved *2018-09-10* Graphics seem to be limited to two, the hurricane path and the wind distribution. Would be improved if app included the full complement of graphics found on the full website. The listings of graphics, summaries, discussions and advisories are all in one long list so if more then one hurricane is being reported on at the same time it gets confusing finding the data you’re wanting for a specific hurricane. Would be improved if data was grouped by hurricane. ### 3/5 — Very clumsy *2018-09-01* Not very refined. All of this I could go directly to NHC website and get. Give me some value for what I spent ### 3/5 — NOAA Pro is not updating on time *2018-07-07* NOAA Pro is not updating on time. Please update this app so that it provides the most recent information of the National Hurricane Center. For example, if National Hurricane Center emitted a bulletin at 8:00 PM, then NOAA Pro should provide the bulletin at 8:00 PM with the most recent information instead of provide The information two hours later. ### 4/5 — Missing Central US *2018-05-03* I down loaded the NOAA Now Pro on my new IPad X. It does not have the Central US Map, why does this not exist now? I have friend in Louisiana that he and I talk weather. He is a retired National Guard full Cornell who worked through Hurricane Katrina. He and I were both Emergency Managers. Please put Central US back! ### 5/5 — Best hurricane App *2015-12-05* Don't listen to the haters. This is a great App. ### 5/5 — Weather and more *2015-09-01* In addition to its excellent severe weather coverage, this app is unique in providing animated satellite views of the entire world, so you can what’s happening anywhere. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sadly, an app I can no longer use *2018-11-30* This app worked great with smart invert colors. For someone with a visual impairment, like myself, it was a great app. Unfortunately, the latest update has the app no longer working with smart invert colors. The dark mode that was added is no where close to smart invert colors. ### 1/5 — Ad Free *2018-07-06* I paid for and Installed the Ad Free ($2.99). Waste of Money cause it’s not!!! What a rip off!!! ### 1/5 — A rip-off app *2018-04-09* Sorry to say so, but that application is a rip off. This is not even a reflect of Noaa website. There is nothing in that app that justify to buy it, even to use it for free. Better go directly to Noaa.. I have to touch one star to validate, if I don't the message won't go. but it is not worth a star... ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-01-23* Was hoping for the app to be similar to online NOAA where you can plug in your zip and get current forecast and alerts as I drive a lot for work. This app did not offer a local forecast. The support is only FAQ with no room for new questions. Very disappointing. Not helpful for my needs. Disappointed with NOAA. ### 1/5 — Need Refund *2016-12-02* Does not work as described on my 6S and I cannot find out how to get a refund. ### 1/5 — Jon *2016-09-04* Useless reprint of standards NOAA data. Use NOAA website to get the real information ### 1/5 — Poor Excuse *2014-07-24* Don't waste your time or money on this useless app! ### 2/5 — Unreliable *2020-07-26* My area shows “content unavailable” even while we’re under a hurricane warning. ### 2/5 — This is not weather app! *2018-08-08, version 4.2* I was expecting, local forecast and radar functionality like on noaa.org But there is non! It seems to render some data pased from real noaa. Not worth $3. ### 3/5 — Feedback and request for new design of the app. *2025-04-14* Hi Ŵhat all the about links It too slow right now I like this app to be redisign to be open face like other apps are . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Americas *2024-11-07* Thank you for putting AMERICAS back on the satellite imagery. This is by far the best weather app on the market. ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2023-08-09* The content helps my family prepare for storms when it needs to happen. ### 5/5 — Makes you enjoy meteorological science *2021-03-01* Quite informative instructive and fun to use ### 5/5 — Not easy to use *2019-02-15* Please make a “favourites” section so we can find our maps easier please ### 5/5 — You can forget what your local tv says; *2018-10-05* The weather animations and cloud cover along with front movements are just about all you need to see what the weather will be the next few hours or days or up to a week. Weather is an interesting science and with these weather maps, you will soon learn to read a weather depiction chart and be your own forecaster. ### 5/5 — Ads continue in NOAA Now Pro *2018-09-13* Two days ago I upgraded to pro to eliminate ads. The ads continue anyway. The full screen pop-up are particularly annoying. Please refund the upgrade charge. Edit: Turns out the in-app upgrade installed a totally new app in addition to the original free one, which was not within my folder containing weather apps. I had no way of initially knowing this. I stand corrected. The NOAA Now Pro does NOT contain ads. ### 5/5 — Love the up to date graphics. *2018-09-05* 👍😎 ### 5/5 — Alert System *2018-07-07* Great Pro Tool for Islanders. Thank you. Frank ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-09-08* Tremenda la recomiendo para que estén al día en base al tiempo y temporada de huracanes!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-09-04* Very simple and straightforward, what more could you want! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
