Had to settle for going to facebook. I will be uninstalling. ### 2/5 — Hoped other reviewers were wrong *2020-05-27* I really like Ross Whitley’s weather forecast so I thought I’d give it a try. Not having tried previous versions with which to compare I had an open mind. The app is very basic and clunky with crude controls on the radar display. I will uninstall and simply use the website and weather.com. ### 1/5 — Viper *2019-04-26* Viper quit working on my iPhone at 2:18 this afternoon and it’s now 8:00 pm ### 2/5 — App won’t work *2019-01-03* It will not load anything up just the map it used to work ### 2/5 — Not stable *2018-10-10* Constantly crashes on livestream. Can watch for five minutes, and then CRASH! Not useful at all. ### 2/5 — Gets worse every time *2018-05-19* Blows my mind how y’all manage to make it worse and worse with every new version. It’s now hideous and so user unfriendly. Completely incompetent interface design. ### 3/5 — Not as informative as the old app *2018-01-12* The old version of the app would indicate movement direction of individual thunderstorm cells and locations of severe cells, cells producing hail and cells likely to develop into tornadoes. I was forced to “upgrade” to this version after the release of iOs 11, but find that the new app is not nearly as informative, i.e., doesn’t provide this information. Please add this functionality back! ### 1/5 — Old App was much better *2017-10-03* My old app worked up until IOS 11. My wife’s stopped working in IOS 10. New RADAR program looks terrible as compared to the old. Adds pop up all over the place. ### 1/5 — Not good *2016-11-19* Don't like this app at all. I want my old one back. ### 1/5 — No app support *2016-01-18* Issues with this app. Location will not change from Panama City. No place on app to report issues, you have to go back to the App Store, then click on the app support there and it takes you to the panhandle news page. Hopefully they will read this review and fix the problem. ## Frequently asked questions about StormTrack 13 ### What is StormTrack 13?
