A very practical use of technology. ### 5/5 — It's good! *2011-01-14* Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Push messages for typhoon status are obviously very practical. ### 5/5 — useful app *2010-10-22* 5 stars cuz it support push notification at very moment the typhoon level changed but as well this app is free. keep it up and wish the next stable update ### 5/5 — VP *2010-10-21* A very nice app. Simple and keeps you abreast of potential weather. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ugly app and full page ads *2022-08-23* This is probably the ugliest app on my phone but it does what it says. Paid! Edit 8 August 2022. Despite paying for the app, I’m getting full-page ads that last several seconds when the app is open. Really? And having installed the My Observatory app, that app is actually better. For a start, typhoon warnings actually appear on the weather widget. This isn’t true of this app, which is laughable considering it is called Hong Kong Warnings! Uninstalled. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. You shouldn’t ever see an ad if you’ve paid - I’ll check for that bug. ### 1/5 — I don't understand *2014-09-16* I did not understand the info so I deleted it ### 1/5 — Misleading *2011-06-21, version 1.9.4* Once installed, flashes one line joke and then program closes. Not sure if thos is a scam or virus. Do not recommend downloading. 0 Stars. ### 3/5 — Mr *2010-09-12* It is very helpful, regard ### 4/5 — Reliable.. *2011-05-03* I like the forced warnings and how it helps me plan my day ### 4/5 — Very useful if you do business with HK *2010-12-24, version 1.8* Very useful to know the weather in HK from anywhere in the world. We have many clients and colleagues there. Please also include the air quality index of HK. Can you make one too for Simgapore and Taipei? ### 4/5 — Nice app *2010-12-17* Does exactly as promised, overall good application for expats in hong kong! ### 4/5 — HK Weather app *2010-11-03* Gr8 simple easy to understand and use ### 4/5 — Efficace, precis, utile *2010-10-21, version 0* Ce logiciel n'est pas vraiment le produit de l'annee, mais pour savoir ou en sont les typhons et les alertes associes sur Hong Kong c'est le meilleur que j'ai pu tester. Il est hyper simple mais tres ergonomique. On peut lire un bulletin meteo, voir aussi le trajet un typhon. Bref, c'est un outil efficace, precis et utile. ### 4/5 — Very good!!! But can be improved... *2010-10-10* It is a very useful tool. However, there are delays between the notification and the actual issuance time of warnings. It does not tell you when any warnings are cancelled. If the app can do that two things, it will be better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — does the job *2016-09-14, version 2.9.80* works ok ### 5/5 — Love this! *2014-09-07, version 2.9.50* All the weather you need to know in one great looking site. ### 5/5 — Great information *2013-09-23* As a frequent visitor to Hong Kong, my understanding of the seriousness of typhoon preparedness is growing. I downloaded this app as severe typhoon Usagi was approaching. It provides a comprehensive set of information which is kept very current to the changing conditions. ### 5/5 — Great for HK,Macao,Taiwan & China-Area! *2013-09-11* please play Siren longer ! (when Typhoon it coming!) ### 5/5 — Great information *2013-07-10* Thanks to every one involved in setting up this great app. I am a surfer who visits the Philippines each typhoon season and my friends and I find the information provided very useful indeed. Many thanks and keep up the good work. Kiwi ### 5/5 — A really nice app *2013-01-28* Tells what you need to know. Works well, and does not take up much space. Essential for living in Hong Kong. ### 5/5 — Nice app.. Pings for typhoon *2012-08-28* Just paid up, it's a good app. Does exactly what it says. Particularly like that it also has non typhoon alerts pinging through notifications. ### 5/5 — Relax, they're watching *2012-08-07* Extremely impressive app. They watch the storms and alert you to dangerous conditions. Relax, they're watching. ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2012-08-07* A simple straight forward app that does exactly what it purports to do - keep you informed about impending extreme weather conditions. Great app...very useful. ### 5/5 — Hkuserxxx *2012-06-18* A well done, well integrated app that is very useful for all HK residents (both Chinese and English speaking) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
