What's New in Hurricane Tracker

5.1

June 27, 2023

- We are introducing active storm widgets! No more opening the app to see if there are active systems. See this information right on your home screen! Small widget - will display up to 4 storm types. When there are active systems, this widget will only display storm types with active storms. When there are no active storms, it will display 4 storm categories (hurricanes, tropical storms, depressions & invests) showing "0" storms. Medium widget - will always display up the 5 storm types even if they are "0". Widgets will automatically refresh and pull the latest storm counts from the server. Widgets will also update when you launch the app. When you tap on a widget, you will be taken to the "Current Storms" section of the app to view information on active storms. Storm types with active systems will animate and show the number of active storms within each storm type. The number represents how many active systems there currently are within that storm type. For example, if "hurricanes" is showing a "1" then that means there is one active hurricane we are tracking. The storm types are hurricanes (red), tropical storms (orange), depressions (green), potential tropical cyclones (blue), and invests (teal). Note: Due to limited space within the small widget, it will only show up to 4 storm types at once. The medium widget will always show the status of all 5 storm types. Widgets will display Atlantic or Eastern Pacific storm counts based on your "default basin settings" located in the settings panel of the app. - Bug fixes

Used to be way easier

Last year the app was much better and intuitive. This year the app is more complicated and harder to find things.

No longer a great app

I live in a hurricane zone and have used this app for years to track tropical weather. But this year they switched to a subscription basis. I gladly bought a premium subscription. But now the app is much more confusing - it used to be intuitive, but now you need a physics degree to figure out where to find the information you want. And even though I upgraded to a premium subscription, I keep being prompted to upgrade in order to access certain features. What used to be a great app is now just barely so-so.

Used to be Outstanding

Once was the best hurricane ap out there. It got sold and now it’s unreadable. I don’t have an alternative. Can anyone suggest one?

Limited Use

I’ve using the app for many years as I was living on the coast. It provided a lot of information for free until it didn’t. I decided to subscribe and was really disappointed. The app is not what is used to be.

Premium Graphic Not Helpful

Premium graphics offered little. Not worth it AND you have keep logging in. Now ads are getting out of control.
