### 3/5 — Repeat Login Nuisance

*2026-08-28, version 5.1*

Keeps asking for a login, which is stupid for an app I downloaded to my phone. The functions are great, but the app looks and functions like it was made in a garage.

### 2/5 — Dark background

*2026-08-24, version 5.1*

This new update is so messed up. I find it very hard to read the app with the black background (myopia and astigmatism), and it now has so many useless features that the screen looks messy and loud.

### 2/5 — Too Busy

*2026-08-14, version 5.1*

I’ve been using this app for years and even upgraded to the premium version a few years ago. I was fine with that. I got a lot of views and the price was minimal. 

Since the changes it’s so cluttered. The font is so small my aging eyes struggle to read it. It gives  a summary of the storms and at first glance I nearly freaked out at how many storms it was showing. Then realized it was giving me everything: Atlantic and Pacific. I’m on the Gulf Coast and could care less about the Pacific. My default region is set for Atlantic so why do I have to look at the Pacific in my summary?  

Please go back to the other layout. It was much easier.

### 2/5 — Not very good

*2026-08-14, version 5.1*

This used to be my go to app for hurricane info but fixing to trade it in on another app. Changes over the last year or so really messed it up. So much emphasis on going pro it just a cluster now!

### 3/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-14, version 5.1*

What happened?! This was my previous review before the later changes: “This app is very thorough and provides a number of great maps. I love the updates on storms and knowing their projected path. Highly recommend!” Now the maps are subpar, I’m not getting notifications even though they are turned on, and the maps and models look very bare bones. The home page looks like a clustered Temu home page, and it’s hard to visually grasp—busy is a good way to put it. Less is more and the simple layout was much nicer.

### 2/5 — Update

*2026-08-12, version 5.1*

What happened???  The face lift is way too busy!   It used to be so easy to use and now there’s so many neon colors everywhere it’s hard to see what you’re doing.  Glad I didn’t subscribe.   Moving on to find something simple and straight forward like this one use to be.

### 2/5 — Paid $20 no or less service from previous app

*2026-08-12, version 5.1*

I have real issues with the update it is not easier and the click on the categories do not match the correct price with the category of hurricane. Some buttons do not do anything. Loved the app prior and have paid a subscription of the $20 on 7/21/26 at www.HURRTRACK, CO
Looking forward to your response

### 3/5 — Too busy

*2026-08-12, version 5.1*

Since the new update I do not
Like how busy it looks. Too hard to find what I need to look for. 👎🏻👎🏻

### 3/5 — App Changes

*2026-08-10, version 5.1*

Too many changes and not for the better. Trying to understanding the information of where the hurricane is and what it’s doing, you’ve made it harder

### 2/5 — Best ever

*2026-08-10, version 5.1*

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

### 3/5 — Used to be great…

*2026-08-08, version 5.1*

App used to be great, but you broke it with the absolutely terrible UI redesign.

### 3/5 — Sonic the hedgehog threw up new UI

*2026-08-05, version 5.1*

Great app before they changed the cosmetic ui for this app. Sometimes less if more. Know all I see is Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Dart and the rest of the Sonic gang telling me a storm forecast. 

Too busy, looks like I am going to a rave and my head hurts. Please change UI to be simpler, or at least give us an option to the older version aesthetic.

### 3/5 — Got Greedy

*2026-08-04, version 5.1*

The app has worked great for years. Now if you don’t pay the features that were available for years now don’t work. Bye

### 1/5 — Total Scam

*2026-08-22, version 5.1*

Stopped using this app years ago because it just wasn’t that good.  Today I get an email that they tried to use my expired credit card to renew my subscription, which I don’t have. If this was legit they should have used Apple for the payment, which threw red flags that they were trying to scam me.  Don’t use this app.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-16, version 5.1*

I have used this app for years but now it is all about the paid version. I don’t like it at all anymore.

### 1/5 — It’s been cheapened

*2026-08-13, version 5.1*

I’ve had this app for years.  In a move I can only assume is greed the basic “spaghetti” models have essentially been removed.  You’re better off using the free weather version than getting a ton of useless information

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2026-08-13*

What happened to this app? I’ve had it for years and always used it during hurricane season. I used it as the unpaid version for years and then upgraded to the premium and used the paid version for years. My husband saw it on my phone and got it too because he liked it so much.

It’s terrible now! At first they changed it so that I had to log into my premium version every time I opened the app. Now, I open it and I think I’m still supposed to log into my paid version, but I’m not even sure. There’s so much visual noise I can’t tell what’s what. Why do I need to log into my premium every time? Why is the home page so cluttered and confusing? Did the App programmer accidentally let their 4-year-old loose on their app design? 

It’s very disappointing. I’ll be looking for another storm app.

### 1/5 — Update is terrible

*2026-08-13, version 5.1*

I’ve been using this app for years.  It was my go to hurricane app.  It was great.  Now they updated it and not only is it ridiculously busy and cumbersome to navigate, but now you get less information unless you pay for premium.  I will no longer be using this app as it is useless unless you want to pay and there are other free apps that give more info.

### 1/5 — Was amazing until paywall.

*2026-08-12, version 5.1*

Was my go to hurricane information, this latest update looks more like candy crush than a serious app tracking weather. Then the paywall. Give me back my few ad’s and let me see all the information for free. We’re all tired of subscription’s nickel and diming us.

### 1/5 — Changes

*2026-08-12, version 5.1*

Changes to get viewers to purchase premium are awful.

### 1/5 — What does basic do?

*2026-08-10, version 5.1*

What’s the point of paying for the basic? At first glance it looks like they have taken away its previous functionality. I easily get more info from the Nat. Hurricane Center site.

### 1/5 — Ai slop

*2026-08-09, version 5.1*

The app use to be perfect. Then the developer went overboard with AI and now the app looks like every other AI generated app. All the AI slop looks terrible. 

I hope you read this and consider reverting your code. Us AI to enhance functionality not create AI UI.

### 1/5 — What have you done?

*2026-08-08, version 5.1*

The user interface is now terrible! Multiple colors, multiple selections, etc. all are terrible. I don’t mind paying for more features but to access everything is more complicated than before. Who did your UI/UX evaluation?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-28, version 5.1*

Lots of information

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-26, version 5.1*

The app is great. It works as expected. Every time there is a disturbance or a hurricane in the Gulf, this is my first stop to find information.

### 5/5 — Excellent Information

*2026-08-17, version 5.1*

Like the app. Has good information. Very timely. A very good source for accurate information.

### 5/5 — This one is REAL

*2026-08-10, version 5.1*

I’ve been using this app for as many years as it’s been available. As a South Texas coast dweller, this app has been wonderful to keep me and my family up to date on the storm situations. It is a great tool to help make decisions as to when to prepare and/or leave. It is more than worth having.
And if you’ve seen this before from me….
It still holds true. BEST Hurricane tracker out there.

### 5/5 — No title

*2026-08-08, version 5.1*

Y’all do a Great Job!! Thanks

### 5/5 — Website Update

*2026-08-08, version 5.1*

I am very impressed with the new website. It looks fantastic and should offer easier access to the information. I have been a premium member from the start of my Membership. Keep up the good work. I’ll be a supporter for a long time to come.

### 5/5 — Great app if you live in the zones

*2026-08-04, version 5.1*

Update 8/2026, the issues with premium login appear to be fixed, hoping it remains this way, thank you devs.

Been using this app for years, been premium at least 2-3. Have used for guidance riding out several major hurricanes, and no single source has been more helpful. I would rate 5* if not for this:

The new issue of not keeping premium users logged in—this is going to be problematic as the season picks up. We used to be able to hit enter, not re-enter UN/PW every time. The 30 day remember device doesn't work consistently, it's not my device, I checked. I understand the note about API constraints, honestly this is the only app I've ever had require me to log into premium every. Single. Time.

Devs—please fix this. Some of us did stay last year despite the inactive season, and to have what we've paid for feel like a downgrade just isn't cool. 

Overall an incredible source, but if this isn't fixed I won't renew.

### 5/5 — Hurricane Tracker

*2026-07-30, version 5.1*

I love this app. I wouldn’t trust any other hurricane app. I’ve used this app for years and it’s never let me down. I stay on top of every storm out there.

### 5/5 — Hurricane tracker

*2026-07-28, version 5.1*

I’ve been using this for years I live in Florida Keys and I have been able to only in 20 years of living there Have one hurricane come directly over my house, which was hurricane Irma in 2017 it was the only hurricane that did any damage to my property It’s the only hurricane that I ever left the Keys for knowing how bad it was going to be. I use the tracker. I did not listen to Weather Man. He was the national Weather. Bureau doesn’t track as well. Love the app.

### 5/5 — Very cool informative app

*2026-07-22, version 5.1*

Enjoying your app. Thanks developers!!
