### 4/5 — Tornado spy 2.4 review

*2012-05-25, version 2.4*

I really think the tornado spy is a great app. I have always loved tornados as a little kid still now and the app helps me fofill my interest by a lot but the only thing a dislike is that when you press the NOAA sighting to go read what kind of tornado there is I want to see not a radar I want to see the real tornado

### 4/5 — Great

### 5/5 — Tornado spy

*2011-10-18, version 1.8.2*

Excellent. Very good

### 5/5 — Tracker

*2011-06-18, version 1.8.2*

Terrific app, really has kept us updated when storms have been sighted. We were able to get to safe locations at work.

### 3/5 — Tornado spy vs storm spy

*2011-05-30, version 1.8.2*

Don't make same mistake and buy both, if u buy storm spy u have it all and don't need tornado spy, I like it just don't need both, total waste!

### 5/5 — Awesome App!!

*2011-01-10, version 1.5*

This App is wonderful!! If you enjoy tracking severe weather, then this app is for you. Very accurate spotter info!

### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps

*2010-06-13, version 0*

TornadoSpy is very helpful for me, it is easy to use and I am always the first to know of sightings.  The alerts are extremely useful and work well for both NOAA and user sightings.  This app is worth much more than $1.99.  

I recommend this to anyone who lives in a Tornado 'Hot' Zone or who has an interest in tracking tornadoes.  This app has great user support as well. The developers of this app added a feature within one day of me requesting it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with ISO 11

*2018-06-22, version 2.9*

Needs an update for use on IPhone but developer will not update

### 1/5 — 15 minutes

*2012-04-03, version 2.4*

Within 15 minutes of seeing the April 2nd, 2012 Dallas tornado on msnbc. I saw sightings on tornado spy 2.4. 15 minutes after I saw it on a national 24 hour news channel! Don't be fooled by this app. 15 minutes in this tornado season could mean your life.

### 1/5 — camprcary

*2012-03-04, version 2.3*

nearly useless did not get any sighting reports on storms 3/3/12

### 1/5 — Useless

*2011-04-28, version 1.6*

Don't waste a penny. I'm completely disappointed.

### 1/5 — Nearly useless

*2011-04-26, version 1.6*

This application was a great idea executed in a very poor manor. Even after the recent tornado outbreaks, the sightings that come up are very scarce. About 95 percent of the sightings that show are from the NWS, something anyone could easily look up on the Internet. I was looking forward to seeing user sightings, but no, there are virtually none, contrary to what is advertised. The idea of this app is very exciting and may actually be properly executed eventually, but until then, save your money,

### 1/5 — No Conent

*2010-05-23, version 0*

There is never any content in this app... even during a recent tornado outbreak in my state there was nada....  I'm a little miffed I paid for it because it has literally provided me with nothing.  Maybe it's a good app, I don't know... but ask yourself this:  would you use facebook if no one was posting on it, and you had to pay to subscribe?

If I were the creaters of this app I would open the thing up for free for the first year and grow your group of storm chasers and content-adders on here, and then after things are established start charging for it.  The way it is being marketed now I just don't see it lasting.

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2017-03-01, version 2.9*

I've had this app for quite a while. Some of the information is very helpful; however, the app has always been clunky to use with views of the map too obstructed by buttons.

There are much better apps for weather radar and weather radio.  This app runs slow and the developers have not updated it for several iOS versions.

### 2/5 — Probably won't work if u report a sighting

*2011-04-19, version 1.6*

I tried to report a tornado that was going through my county in Missouri (even took a picture of the later confirmed tornado) and it told me reporting is only allowed if one is registered and that the warning would not be published. NOT very safe!!!

### 3/5 — Good but not great

*2014-06-01, version 2.9*

The only thing I want is fixing like bugs and the radio no offecne

### 3/5 — Bad radio

*2013-05-21, version 2.9*

Don't get the radio. Didn't work for me in central Texas.

### 5/5 — Tornado & hail forecast stopped working

*2024-05-16, version 5.34*

I will still give 5 stars but please fix it

I tried re-downloading the app and restarting it but it still won’t work.

It’s just a white screen

I tried the 2 of my iPads still doesn’t work.

*2020-01-18, version 5.34*

Awesome notification of tornados and hail!

### 5/5 — Great app and trustworthy

*2019-05-20, version 5.34*

This app is timely and pinpoints tornado location(s). This is a very trustworthy app that a person can depend on.

### 5/5 — Very useful; some quirks but worth it

*2015-10-30, version 2.9*

I like it during tornado storms. It lets me map sightings near me exactly with the map range I care about.

### 5/5 — Tornado spy

*2013-02-22, version 2.4*

Very useful! I don't live where there are a bunch of tornados because I live in Carlsbad,NM but I like to see where there are tornados. I also travel to Nebraska so it's good to keep track of where they are.

### 5/5 — Cool

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2012-05-14, version 2.4*

I found this app to be very helpful not only when I am home but while I travel. I like being able to set the perimeters of the warning area.
