Don't Update to New Version!

The recent update to this previously excellent app is just appalling.

The entire interface has been changed. It no longer shows tornado warnings, nor current tornados. (It did once, but it stopped).

The satellite imagery is broken. There's currently a hurricane in the Gulf, and it doesn't show up at all. How are we to know what's coming in?

When Region is refreshed, current weather watches and warnings don't show up. Not at all.

And the new interface? You have to click on a button to attempt to show the information... it doesn't automatically show up on the map, which, of course, it doesn't do.

I wish I could refresh this back to the previous version, but that's not possible.

I guess it's time to delete this and find another Tornado App.

What happened?

Whoever owns this app… have you abandoned it? It doesn’t work anymore. A great tool that seems worthless now. No updates. Nothing.

Not working

I used to love this app. But over the past year or two, the 24hr tornado & hail forecast feature stopped working entirely. It’s just a blank screen with a question mark. This feature was the reason i used this app. I haven’t seen any updates or notification on if the developer is even working on this issue. Very disappointing. Please FIX THIS. Other people i know that have this app are experiencing the same issues.

Disappointed

I have used this app for several years. This spring Ive noticed there is a bad lag in timeliness of data displayed. North Texas had 7 confirmed tornadoes last evening and this app either did not display them or displayed them after they had touched down and moved on. Time for some serious updates to this app.

Wish it worked like it used to

This app was amazing up until recently. Not sure if developer stopped updating software or what, but I wish they’d get it fixed!!
