### 3/5 — The map shows horizontal on iPad

*2024-09-28, version 5.16*

Same

### 3/5 — Way to many alerts for storms that don’t impact us at all. Also it is all hours of the night.

*2024-08-18, version 5.14*

Way to many alerts for storms that don’t impact us and they come at all Hokies of the night.

### 3/5 — Problems after update

*2024-08-12, version 5.14*

Hey guys! After the last update everytime I tried to open Track the app closes by itself. All the rest works ok. I just can’t open the track option anymore.

### 2/5 — Cartoon

*2024-07-16, version 5.13*

I’m not quite sure why the news4jax app and this one changed the radar portion of the app. Currently looking for one that is not as cartoonish as this one.

### 1/5 — Like the previous version better

*2024-07-14, version 5.13*

Like the previous version better

### 1/5 — Not kept up to date

*2024-07-14, version 5.13*

This app used to be be kept up to date and was very helpful. It no longer is!!!

### 1/5 — New map changes

*2024-07-12, version 5.13*

Way less map to see! Whats the deal? Big pin for my location, we just need a dot. I feel like someone made change for the sake of changes, you made it worse. The person who approved the change was not doing their job from a quality control standpoint. Fire this person…. Now

### 1/5 — Poor radar

*2024-07-10, version 5.13*

Don’t know what you have done to the radar but the new radar is terrible.  Cannot zoom in without loosing the weather.  White background stinks.  Please bring back the radar that used to be in the KHOU 11 weather app.

### 4/5 — The App needs Horizontal View

*2024-07-08, version 5.13*

I want to use this on my iPad, but I have to use it in Vertical. I prefer Horizontal. 

Thanks

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2024-07-07, version 5.13*

Warning notifications come across my phone and when I click on them, it simply takes me to the home page rather than the details of the warning itself

### 2/5 — The pervious version was much more detailed

*2024-07-07, version 5.13*

The pervious version was much more detailed.
They simplified the information so much that it is boarder line useless.
I used to be able to click on waypoints to see estimated location wind speed eye wall etc.
Now it is just a cone of broad area.
When I go to noaa it burries data in alot of words.
This app pulled the details to make it easy to read . 
But now the app doesn’t give details.

### 2/5 — Half the pages work, updates delayed by ~4 hours

*2024-07-07*

I want to like this app. It has potential!  But I feel the quality has turned into near uselessness in the last couple of years. The main problem: live channels and other websites will have updated positions and forecasts, but this app doesn’t update for 4 or more hours, which is critical to decision making!  
Additionally, some pages sometimes just have no data at all. Currently: sea temps: blank.  Tropics watch: blank. Satellite view: stuck in the middle of the Atlantic and no way to navigate over the gulf. Tracker: out of date constantly by at least one update compared to other sources (more than 4 hours).

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-07-06, version 5.13*

Terrible app, crashes, exits out of screen, doesn’t work properly at all.

### 1/5 — Very poor update!

*2024-07-06, version 5.13*

The recent update makes this app no longer a great source!  Sea temps are no longer available, data is lagging, the map of the tropics is no longer available, also very limited information about Beryl!  I used to love this app & it’s not very helpful now.

### 1/5 — Too complicated! Bring back the old style!

*2024-07-05, version 5.13*

I really hate the new version of the app. I used to be able to open it and instantly get a clean, user-friendly forecast. Now you have to sort through tiny preview screens and a more complicated format. This used to be my go-to app because the accuracy was better but until I need finer details on weather I’m avoiding it like the plague and going elsewhere.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Its not update

*2024-10-10, version 5.16*

They not maintaice tris app accurate

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-09-28, version 5.16*

A nothing app

### 1/5 — Not informative

*2024-09-08, version 5.16*

This app is generic and does not tell you any information. KPRC has been going downhill for years and now the weather information is at an all time low. Provide information that people need and not some app that tells me the exact same information I can find on weather.com.

### 1/5 — Not as useful as the original one.

*2024-09-05, version 5.16*

Not as useful as the original one. Information is not in a format that is easy to navigate and the map is bad.

### 1/5 — No landscape view

*2024-08-11, version 5.14*

No landscape view

### 1/5 — Used to be 5 Stars

*2024-07-31, version 5.14*

The updated format this year is terrible.
Removing and switching to another app.
Happens I guess.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-07-29, version 5.14*

Should have left well enough alone

### 1/5 — Go back to the previous version of the app

*2024-07-28*

Since channel to switch the hurricane app to this new format. It has been less than desirable to use. The pin in your location is massive compared to the dot you used to have. The radar is complete garbage compared to the older version if you go to settings and overlays and try to change anything none of that works and stays. You cannot save your location like it claims you can, the entire app is buggy. I’m going to try to find a better app for hurricanes and for tracking storms. This app I’ve used for more than 10 years and it was fantastic! Since the update none of it is the same and it’s much worse than before.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2024-07-27, version 5.14*

Shuts down when tracker is selected. iPad pro

### 1/5 — Weather App

*2024-07-25, version 5.14*

I’m sad to say, but the new weather app is a poor replacement for the old app. The format is so small. The radar is the worst about the whole thing. It’s out of focus especially when you try to enlarge it to look at your specific area. Still have it on my phone but have another app for weather that I use instead. Please put it back like it was!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Timely Without Being Annoying

*2024-11-10, version 5.16*

Informative, accurate, and timely notifications. Covers the storms from cradle to grave in a concise manner.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful!

*2024-09-24, version 5.16*

This app is very helpful! Thank you so much for keeping us informed and safe!

### 5/5 — Not enough version

*2024-09-05, version 5.16*

Version before this was much better specially when showed hurricane patterns in the map. It was more interactive

### 5/5 — The best

*2024-08-08, version 5.14*

It’s really informative

### 5/5 — Comforting

*2024-08-02, version 5.14*

Once our son and daughter in law in TX told us this was the most reliable app we were comforted knowing these transplanted Texans could be safe.  Thank you Click 2 from OH parents.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-06-13, version 5.11.1*

So needed for storms and hurricanes

### 5/5 — CEO. Ocean Diesel service

*2024-02-23, version 5.11*

Thank you for your great service. Tex

### 5/5 — Update it’s free and necessary during hurricane season

*2023-04-04*

I’ve changed my review based of access and availability of up to date information needed during a crisis during hurricane season. So many apps are now charging for basic life saving information and this one thus far has stayed free while saving lives.  They keep improving on it and that’s what matters. during hurricane season we need to know is it coming my way how bad will it be and when will it hit. Watching to see what’s out there and watching the progress is interesting but the ones that start up in the gulf and hit fast are crazy. Thanks for keeping it free and caring about the public.

### 5/5 — Storm tracking

*2022-09-24, version 3.11.1*

phone.

### 5/5 — Frank Billingsly

*2022-09-09*

Frank and Justin are the only two Meteorologists I trust to be the closest to what will really happen! 
I don’t know if trust is the right word, but I believe they are right 95% of the time, and that’s all I need. Could have used that other 5% during the drought! I know it wasn’t your fault, but that’s a conversation for Man upstairs
