Therefore, I gladly exalt its merits, and express my sincere and deep gratitude to the developer for his enduring efforts; yet, I would welcome a reasonable one-time fee to remove the ads, useless nuisance which now mostly block the menu buttons ### 1/5 — Ruined by Adverts *2025-07-03, version 3.4.0* Used to be a great little app, but now ruined with an advert banner the immediately pops up over the menu at the top of the app. ### 1/5 — New banner add has rendered app useless *2025-06-04, version 3.4.0* Until recently, I would have given this app five stars. Now a large banner add completely obscures all of the controls rendering this app useless! PLEASE FIX! ### 5/5 — Still Best Real Time Hurricane App! *2022-07-14* Seven years ago, this was a hurricane app for the Atlantic only until I approached the developer to make some overall positive changes to this app to include the Eastern and Central Pacific including a radar map for the Hawaiian Islands. Since that time, we’ve seen several GOES satellites come and go in which we lost some key features over the years. On March 1,2022, NOAA launched the new GOES-T Satellite to be renamed to GOES-18 once it reaches it’s final orbit, which it did on May 13-22, 2022 after some orbital adjustments. This satellite will be renamed again in May 2023 to GOES-West after the next satellite launch here in a few months in the cue. Some of those key features will come back with the next satellite launch such as the world Sea Surface Temperature Map( SST) Interactive and the South Eastern Pacific Radar Map Interactive with the next several weeks. This entire app is interactive and it much easier to sense the direction, speed, size and intensity of a named hurricane. It’s a lot of labor and hard work involved to connect, match up data and update this interactive real time hurricane radar maps to this new GOES-18 Satellite feed but you will notice that these interactive Doppler Radar maps are like no other in Apple’s App Store currently. Currently, the Hawaiian Islands are under hurricane threats from Bonnie, which was downgraded and Darby, which was just upgraded to a CAT 3 but will hopefully pass south of the Hawaiian Islands this weekend while we are experiencing Kings Tides. On this Saturday, July 16 from 9am to 12noon, the Makani ‘Ino ARES Hurricane Drill will happen at the same time along with the RIMPAC 2022 Military Exercise to add some possible realistic data and Amateur Radio EmComm Communications that couldn’t have any better timing than this to add some realism to these important exercises. With that said, this Hurricane App with be playing a key role with us doing mobile operations including on several military bases this coming Saturday morning. As the Net Controller for the Honolulu NWS SKYWARN Program at the University of Hawaii-Manoa Campus, this app is going to play a vital role for me while on the road and while going to each mobile preplanned location on my iPhone. Please support this app as improvements will be made over the next couple of months. A big Mahalo! ### 1/5 — Buggy *2020-08-01, version 3.3.1* Every time I want to see the predicted hurricane track, it has to “load” 30-50 images. Why? Just show the hurricane of interest (let me “pin” it) Also, in the hurricane forecast and discussion, the entire text is on ONE LINE. This is impossible to read. ### 2/5 — It does not very help *2020-07-23* This app does not really help at all. Just go to windy.com it’s way better. It’s cool how you can see the satellite but, it’s just not even helpful ### 1/5 — Where’s the Hurricane *2019-09-02, version 3.3.0* Hurricane Dorian is almost non-existent on this app. This was my favorite hurricane app for years but something has drastically change. When you open the app it automatically goes to the global weather which would be good if you could actually interact with it and zoom in or select an area of interest... Please fix ### 1/5 — Australia *2019-02-17, version 3.2.4* Way to hard trying to navigate around.. ### 1/5 — Sloooow *2018-09-11, version 3.2.4* Takes forever to load ### 1/5 — Terrible, inaccurate. Missing hurricane Florence track *2018-09-11, version 3.2.4* On the main map, it shows a track for Isaac while completely omitting tracks for Florence, Helene and Gordon! Too much missing, yet vital, weather and hurricane info. Deleting. ## Frequently asked questions about Hurricane Track ### What does Hurricane Track do?
