Awkward

Old version was great. New version awful.

Hurricane tracker

Ruined a great app.

Screwed again

I’m sick of apps that I’ve followed for years suddenly blocking every feature without $$$$. I’m done DELETE, DELETE. BYE.

The best

Living on the gulf coast of Texas this app is a must. Well worth paying for the annual premium service. Great app!

Was great

I’ve used this app for over 10 years. It used to be excellent. I had the premium paid version for years now they changed it and you have to constantly keep re-logging in through their internal portal, which doesn’t work well and it’s extremely frustrating. Will be canceling now.

Money

I bought this and couple years ago and just like all weather apps they decide to charge you. Looks to me all they do is organize data from NOAA’s Hurricane website. Do yourself a favor and go to NOAA the real source of hurricanes.

Use to be Great!

This app use to be fantastic!!! But then they dumbed it down, started charging subscriptions to see anything - and put some really cheesy graphics on it - and now this app is worthless! I’ll be deleting and forgetting it!

Truly informative

I got this app almost 10 years ago and it’s by far my favorite app. I love the extra maps in the premium version. It was well worth the one time fee!

Not what it used to be to be

When I was a radio engineer, I used the paid version to track hurricanes that would affect my stations. When I retired I used the free version to see what would effect my home. Now the app is subscription only and is useless to me. Time to delete it.

Not very useful

More and more features have moved behind the paywall until the ad-supported version has become pretty useless.

Switcharoo

Made a one time purchase of the app. Now they are requiring an expensive annual subscription to get the same features it originally came with.

Like the previous format better

Spend too much time looking for the pages I want. The previous format much better. Waste a lot of time looking for the information that previously just a couple clicks away. Revert back please.

New version sucks

It was a great app but it is way over complicated and trying to do too much.

Too Bad

This was a great app. And then someone convinced you to “make it better, more user friendly, and let’s add a Premium feature”.
Just like many other apps, your redesign team completely destroyed it. Here’s one for you - I would pay an upgrade fee to get the old one back.

was good before

use to love this app, paid for the premium and now suddenly you want more money for a different premium subscription? add the horrible redesign to the rating. ridiculous.

Charging for life saving information for the premium version is criminal

Profiting off of those who utilize this app as a secondary or back up source of info is insane. Especially when there is eminent danger to life.

Excellent App

Love this app!! Great app a lot of useful information. Glad I found it. I also do the lifetime upgrade to premium. Well worth it.

It used to be good

"Improvements" keep being made on this app and with each new improvement, it gets more confusing to use. It used to be so simple, but I just spent way too much time trying to find information on the latest storm. I wasn't even really sure what to click on anymore. it's no longer intuitive, in my opinion. I hope they quit improving it and just make it easy to use again. I'm considering switching to a different app. I'm a paid subscriber and it's ridiculous having to work so hard to just find the information now.

Ruined

The old application was better! New update is confusing and it easy to use.

The APP that wouldn’t.

This use to be a useful tracking system, but when we needed a concise tracking map the map sizes increased three fold and the plot lines were drawn with a broad tipped Sharpie, with dotted blobs that serve to further obscure the definition. The models are labeled with cryptic agency identification, if at all, and without a reference legend. But hey, they do a great job of showing where the storm will be six days from now in the North Atlantic off Iceland.
