## What is TornadoSpyLite?

TornadoSpy with AccuSpy™ technology gives you the power to report and view official and user spotted tornadoes instantly.  On 5/10/10, a TornadoSpy user spotted the Oklahoma City tornado 20 MINUTES before the NOAA report, which gave other TornadoSpy users valuable lead time to escape the storm.  This is a frequent occurrence since user reports are submitted and viewable immediately.

Sightings are filtered through state-of-the art AccuSpy™ technology to prevent false alerts and only send you the most accurate sightings.

Features:
-  Track tornado movement worldwide on the built-in map
-  Report nearby tornadoes with a simple touch
-  Includes official reports from National Weather Service storm spotters
-  Share and view tornado photos in seconds
-  Write storm report notes
-  Users can rate sightings submitted by other users
- AccuSpy™ state-of-the art storm spotting

### 1/5 — Is this going to work?

*2026-06-18, version 6.2*

I deleted it because I am in a state that does not have tornadoes

### 1/5 — Have too pay to use the noaa weather radio

*2024-05-30, version 4.22*

I thought this was an app where you can tune into to noaa weather radio free I thought this was an app where I can tune into to noaa weather radio while I was in school

### 1/5 — Used to LOVE….BUT…

*2024-05-13, version 4.22*

This app has not been updated in years if I’m not mistaken. It needs several things fixed. Now there’s a bug where the tornado forecast page will not load at all- white screen. Also, white screen for the US warnings map page. And it’s showing ZERO tornadoes now, which could be accurate, but not likely. It’s just time to UPDATE. I will delete this and try to find something else hopefully.

### 3/5 — It’s good

*2024-04-26, version 4.22*

The app is good and the information is accurate but there is a problem that I think needs to be fixed. The app looks 10 years old. It needs to be modernized to a modern phone look. It looks like it’s 2010 and I’m on an IPod or one of the first iPhones.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2023-06-14, version 4.22*

When I try to look at Tornado sighting details,it says:”Sighting details do not exsist!”I WANT TO SEE THE DETAILS!!!Pls fix this bug.OR ELSE…

### 5/5 — Is this app good?

*2021-09-16, version 4.22*

### 5/5 — Tornados

*2021-08-02, version 4.22*

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2021-05-23, version 4.22*

Have enjoyed this app for a few years now works great!!

### 2/5 — Working?

*2020-12-25, version 4.22*

Hello? I rarely need this app but now have a tornado warning in my area and the app crashes? Not due for an update, just seems like a bug. Not saying we rely on this app for our lives, but there’s tornados here and I can’t use your app which to date has been the best and most accurate.

### 1/5 — Hail alert

*2017-10-16, version 4.22*

Your app must be updated to work on IOS 11
Right not it does Not work
