### 4/5 — Good Inexpensive Alternative to SalesRabbit

*2026-04-06*

I loved using SalesRabbit, but it became cost prohibitive for multiple users. HailRecon takes some getting used to and is not as polished, but you get all the same features for way less cost. Once you get around some of the quirks of the system it works really well and has everything you need and more!

### 3/5 — Too many bugs

*2025-06-19*

They definitely need to update a lot of the bugs they have.  I try to canvas and mark houses but it doesn’t mark the house I wan to mark.

### 5/5 — Pays for itself!!

*2020-05-11, version 5.0.1*

It’s worth it hands down!!

### 2/5 — Great idea terrible execution

*2020-04-09*

Great information on the app, unusable.  The app crashes more than it works.  Spend the money on a real app for your business.  It is worth it,  you will lose more money on this app than it will make you

### 2/5 — Overpriced and Outdated

*2019-05-28*

The idea of Hail Recon is better than the actual performance behind the app. You would think with the amount of money it cost to subscribe to Hail Recon that they would put more money into development within their app to improve it/update it but they haven’t. The app feels like it belongs on my iPhone 3G; definitely not my 
iPhone X.
Unfortunately, given the limited amount of development for apps like this, I will say it’s the best of the bunch, unfortunately..

### 2/5 — Notifications are awful

*2019-04-13, version 4.0*

There has to be a way to shut off the multiple daily hail percentage notifications. And other notifications that will never apply to me. I don’t care if there’s a 15% chance of hail in Texas. I’m in Ohio. This seems like a basic feature that I don’t understand why it’s not been implemented yet.

### 1/5 — Most recent hail map 2016??!

*2019-04-06, version 4.0*

The data behind this app hasn't been updated since 4/28/2016. Why is it still offered???

### 1/5 — Not for General Public

*2019-03-12, version 4.0*

App is near useless unless you pay over $600 a year for a subscription to the data set.

### 5/5 — Best around

*2018-08-19, version 4.0*

This app is the bomb! There are not enough words to describe.the prosperity my company has experienced since we signed up with Hail Recon! Absolutely awesome software, and even more amazing customer support!

### 1/5 — Junk!!!!

*2018-06-04, version 4.0*

Ridiculous pricing!!!! They hide that info till you try to do something with the app!!!!

### 1/5 — Official Title for the Worst App on the Market

*2026-02-20*

It’s official. This is the absolute worst app around. Holy cow can this thing mess up any more? It takes TWO FREAKING HOURS to run a report sometimes. Unreal.

### 1/5 — Customer service

*2025-11-10, version 5.3*

Horrible

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2025-06-16, version 5.3*

The app is terrible and the customer service is even worse.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-07-24*

Keep trying to sign in with password and it sends me back to “sign in to load hail data”…and so on the merry go round of getting no where I go. Seems very buggy and I will be recommending Hail Trace to my sales team instead because of these issues I’ve run into already. You can let me know when you’ve actually put some effort into making this an app worth the money people spend on it and I’ll give you another shot.

### 1/5 — Can’t even sign up

*2024-02-27, version 5.3*

Only a sign in option and no sign up option!!!!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2023-10-01, version 5.2*

This app is useless. Requires sign in but there is no link to sign up.

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2021-06-03*

Requires a membership but does not offer a chance to join anywhere

### 1/5 — Overpriced $750 annual

*2020-10-14, version 5.1*

I can pay $400 monthly or $750 annual!!! Mike told me they have 1,000s of annual subscribers! I guess I will not be one of them.

### 1/5 — Recent hail 2016?

*2020-08-06, version 5.1*

Just had hail here today and over the past few weeks. No indication on the map anywhere near me in Colorado. History shows only something 2006 and earlier

### 1/5 — This is made buy a big baby

*2019-09-28, version 4.0*

I put in my correct password and it will not go thru and I try to register and then you big baby sent me an email but It obviously did not because I can never see the hail tracker because of your big fat baby move.       Plz make it better for now you deserve a -1000000000 star.   UGH 😡😡😡😡. Very sorry but it’s true😓

### 5/5 — GM

*2026-05-07*

We’ve been working with this company almost as long as they’ve been around. Mike as well as since teammates have always been very helpful.. very responsive and very kind staff

### 5/5 — New update is awesome!

*2026-04-20*

Hail Recon is killing it lately! I have the nationwide plan, and have for a few years. It looks like they just refreshed the accounts settings, and the app. I’m loving it so far! Their meteorologists really have their maps dialed in! They do an awesome job of mapping the storms. The reports have also been really helpful when I’m fighting with the insurance companies. If you’re thinking about getting Hail Recon, stop thinking and do it!!

### 5/5 — Great Product!

*2026-04-16*

Great product with a great team to back it up.  I’ve been with them for years.  I actually switched to another service for a year and came crawling back.  In my opinion it is the easiest map to read and very simple to use.

### 5/5 — Been with these guys a long time.

*2026-04-15*

I think Ive had a subscription with them since 2017, so 9 years now. I always talk with Rhett, he’s great. Just helped me with a subscription question that would save me some $$$ to accomplish my intended goal. Didn’t try to upsell me to get there but provided a common sense solution that helped me out. Probably why Ive been with them 9 years lol.

### 5/5 — Fast Customer Service and Willing to Accommodate.

*2026-04-13*

Rhett was extremely helpful and made the entire process quick and easy. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk me through everything step by step. I had a payment issue and he helped me resolve it right away without any hassle. Great customer service and very accommodating. highly recommend working with Rhett and the Hail Recon team.

### 5/5 — Top of the line.

*2026-04-13*

Highly recommend this app for your hail tracking needs. Customer service and app functionality top of the of line! I have tried many apps prior and this one is by far the best.

### 5/5 — Logo

*2026-04-10*

Great experience. They handled my request to change my logo immediately. Very professional.

### 5/5 — Hail Recon review

*2026-04-09, version 6.0.3*

Great set up and customer service!

### 5/5 — Worth the money

*2024-03-18*

App has not failed me yet.   I don't really use the canvassing feature but the hail reports and storm history is pretty spot on. It has really helped our business.

### 5/5 — Best available

*2023-05-10*

This is the best hail forecast app available. We have been using it for 7 years and it’s the one I always rely on and come back to using. The interface is clean simple and intuitive.
