Don't Update to New Version!
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.
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry the update has been frustrating. We've made significant improvements to the warning infrastructure, with updates now occurring more than once per minute. I was personally able to track the same hurricane, including its severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings, using TSPlus. Satellite imagery is also working, as shown in our latest screenshots. We've redesigned the interface to make weather information easier to access, although I understand that changes to a familiar layout can take some adjustment. We take reports like yours seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to investigate why this information isn't appearing on your device. Thank you for being a longtime user!

Thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry this feature wasn't working for so long. I'm happy to report that we've released a major update that fixes the tornado and hail outlooks, along with many other issues. We've also redesigned the interface to make it cleaner, more intuitive, and easier to access the weather information that matters most. Behind the scenes, we've significantly improved reliability and how frequently weather data is updated. We're actively maintaining and improving TornadoSpy+ again, and we hope you'll give the latest version a try. Thank you for your patience and continued support!
Disappointed

Now, when I need it for Hurricane Milton it’s showing no threats, even though the southern half of FL has warnings and watches everywhere!
Their support & help link in the app no longer works either.
What was once an awesome app is now a waste of money.
Response from developer
It means a lot to hear that TornadoSpy+ was a trusted resource for you during Hurricane Harvey and even on your storm chasing trip. We're especially sorry that it let you down during Hurricane Milton, after years of your support and recommendations. Since your review, we've released a major update restoring tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings, weather watches, tornado and hail outlooks, and satellite imagery. We've also significantly improved our warning infrastructure, with updates occurring more than once per minute, and introduced a cleaner, more intuitive interface. We're actively maintaining TornadoSpy+ again and working to restore the reliability you remember. We sincerely appreciate your longtime support and hope you'll give the latest version another chance!

Not reporting known tornadoes as other apps are reporting real time.
Awful
Works great but one problem
But now I’m 11 years old. and 9 days ago the tornado and hail forecast broke it’s just a white screen.
The tornado and severe thunder storm map works wich is good.
And the warning map works.
I will give 5 stars so you can fix it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hope your app gets better :D
Response from developer
It's awesome to hear that you've been using TornadoSpy+ for years and have such a passion for studying storms! Thank you so much for the 5 stars and your encouragement! ⭐ We're happy to report that a major new update has fixed the tornado and hail forecasts, along with several other features. We've also improved our weather warning infrastructure and redesigned the interface to make exploring storms even easier. We're actively developing TornadoSpy+ again, and we hope you enjoy all the improvements. Keep learning about weather, and thanks for sticking with us! 🌪️
Used to be great. Now just obnoxious.
Response from developer
We truly appreciate your years of support and understand how frustrating repeated notifications must have been. Since your review, we've released a major update that overhauls the backend infrastructure responsible for retrieving and processing severe weather warnings. Warning data is now refreshed more than once per minute, providing faster access to the latest information. We've also restored tornado and hail outlooks, weather watches, severe weather warnings, and satellite imagery, along with a redesigned interface that makes these features easier to access. While faster warning updates don't necessarily address duplicate notifications, we're committed to improving alert reliability and would appreciate hearing if you continue experiencing repeated alerts in the latest version. We hope you'll give TornadoSpy+ another chance!
Non stop notifications

Alert Area Problem
Even after deleting and reinstalling the app, the alert area will not reset.
Broken
Love hate relationship
Also this is for apple users only. If you have something so great and beneficial, why would you not make this accessible to all users to help or help save lives.
I really like this app so I hope they work all the bugs and kinks out because it is very useful. Also make this app for all phones not just apple.
