### 2/5 — Worse than Dial-up

*2026-08-15, version 1.99*

This app is worthless ! It takes literally “minutes” for the images to load !

### 2/5 — Connection issues

*2026-07-04, version 1.92*

Every time I attempt to access the forecast or satellite I get a circular loading icon and 15 minutes later I am still not connected. I have fiber optic internet and 2gig upload and download speeds so it is not an issue on my side.

### 5/5 — Excellent and accurate application

*2025-10-24, version 1.86*

As a retired tropical meteorologist, I rely on this app to keep up to date on the tropics. A very useful and informative app.

### 5/5 — HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP

*2025-10-23, version 1.86*

I live near the coast in the Florida panhandle, and I have used this app for years.  It has all kinds of features and data from the most reliable sources.   It is my. “Go-to” tool for checking forecast models, including spaghetti modeling.  It has practically any tool you will ever need.

### 5/5 — Go to for storm tracking

*2025-10-22, version 1.86*

Living in south Florida this is the app I rely on

### 5/5 — Exactly the info you need!

*2025-10-10, version 1.86*

This app delivers the facts you need without inundating you with superfluous info, requests for personal info or advertising. It’s easy to stay informed and make vital decisions for your family. It’s the most reliable app on my phone …delivering info I need, when I need it!

### 5/5 — Very handy!

*2025-10-10, version 1.86*

A must have living in Florida!

### 4/5 — Names missing

*2025-10-05, version 1.86*

The names of the hurricanes are missing on maps. Confusing!
Settings too complicated: Too many items.

### 5/5 — Everything I want to know!

*2025-09-30, version 1.86*

This has always been a good app. The most recent version has everything I want in one place. I highly recommend this app for staying informed about hurricane development, movement and threats. This information is important for preparation before storms without the scare tactics offered by some other sources.
 Thanks!

### 5/5 — My morning coffee

*2025-09-30, version 1.86*

Check this routinely first thing every morning during hurricane season and every 5 minutes😉 when a storm is pointed at me. I love living on the water and this tool makes it just a little easier. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Best hurricane app available

*2025-09-29, version 1.86*

This app is the simplest easiest way to get accurate and detailed information on tropical events.  This app gets all of its data directly from the National Hurricane Center so there is no exaggeration or misinterpretation.  Simply the best.

### 5/5 — Excellent Hurricane Tracker

*2025-09-29, version 1.86*

There is a wealth of information in the newly updated app. It’s important that the user take time to learn all the various features available.   With the new extended forecast, it’s even more helpful.

### 5/5 — Essential app for SE USA

*2025-09-28, version 1.86*

I live on the coast in SWFL & this app is one of my “go to’s” in hurricane season.

Tristemente no permite acceder a ella ya solo se puede pagando.

Poor.  Uses wrong terminology and wrong names of bodies of water.  So disappointing.

*2025-08-12, version 1.79*

Now you have to pay to see what used to be free, don’t wast your time

### 5/5 — Pretty Much Perfect!

*2026-08-27, version 1.99*

The app provides the clear and informative layout I’ve been looking for in an app for years.  It gets straight to the point, allows you to see an overall outlook of what’s going on and has the ability to drill down on any given storm.  Great job!!!

### 5/5 — Hurricane tracer

*2026-08-26, version 1.99*

As one who lives on the North Carolina coast, this app is invaluable for long range planning for preparedness.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-08-16, version 1.99*

I remember when Max was the head of the hurricane, Noah in South Florida. I lived on a boat back then I watched this page all the time. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Map reference

*2026-08-12, version 1.99*

Just wondering…..What is Gulf of America ? I try to watch for TD, TS or hurricane in Gulf of Mexico and or Caribbean Sea

### 5/5 — Authoritative and comprehensive

*2026-07-26, version 1.95*

I spend the summers in a hurricane prone location and I wanted to understand both short term and long term hurricanes probabilities. I was frustrated by dumbed down mass media  forecasts and having to dig through Nat Hurricane Center web pages. 

This app has made me much happier !  It  collects and organizes in a single location comprehensive information that I can rely on to generate my own informed opinions on short term and long term hurricane probabilities.  The app improves year over year and I appreciate the thoughtful acknowledgment of source material. 

I have a much higher confidence in planning my time on/off island - thanks to the developer!

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2025-10-29, version 1.87*

As a pro subscriber for 2+ plus years, I have nothing but awesome things to say about this app! The app is great for storm tracking, but also as a daily driver to get a glimpse of radar and overall weather patterns. Hopefully we can get a dark mode makeover soon 👀😀

### 5/5 — Outstanding App

*2025-10-26, version 1.86*

Have relied on this app for years and find it to be an outstanding application.  The information and how data is presented provides the most complete and accurate monitoring tool for hurricane monitoring and forecast activities.
