### 4/5 — Love the app but

*2024-10-23*

Is it dying? I keep getting “go daddy has parked this website” messages not the data needed. It happened twice now in quick succession. Hope its not in its deathbed.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the issue. We have fixed the app. Make sure to update it and try again.

### 1/5 — Was good. Useful….

*2024-10-15*

First one I’d check for tropical waves and storms
It’s now totally WORTHLESS AS A GD ad pops up and that is it.
Does nothing anymore!

Deleted now!

**Developer response:** Please download and try again. We recently fixed the app and added new functionality.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2023-07-27*

I have been using this app on my iPhone for years and loved it. Now it no longer works.  Shows the app loading but never displays anything other than the continents.  Hope you get it fixed

**Developer response:** Please try our newly updated app.

### 1/5 — Mad

*2023-04-20*

This app is really stupid nothing works it just keeps saying no information and it won’t let me delete the app and now I don’t feel comfortable because I feel like this is a scam “DONT GET THIS APP!”

**Developer response:** Please try our newly updated app.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2020-08-04, version 2.4*

It’s ok when it works. Most of the time I get 3 bouncing bars and nothing else. NOAA kills this app

### 3/5 — So so

*2017-09-07*

I like the app but I am not sure what any of the tabs mean or how to get around much. I see the hurricane and other information but I guess my problem is when it's in that mode I don't know what the letters mean.

### 3/5 — Not so much , with ads

*2016-09-19*

Great hurricane tracker , best I've seen . Can't figure out how to remove ads 😖
