Best Tornado Tracking App
The best
Response from developer
Thank you for the kind words. WeathAware can never make claims to be the best weather app ever but what it does do quickly is let you know if you are in danger based on the NWS warnings. Kind of your first-pass-filter. In the INTEL community they call it actionable intelligence. 👍😎

Thank you for the feedback! You know when that friend asks why you didn’t respond to the email/ text they sent but you are certain you did? Well, I really meant to put that into words somewhere. Basically the moving green circle on the map is an estimate of the location of the cell given the initial position, speed, and direction. The blue areas are the estimated path and uncertainty cone around the estimated path. Also while I’m on the subject, the compass has numbers and colors in the upper left (time)and upper right (distance) related to the “darker” blue path mentioned above. Time and distance are to the estimated point at which the cell would be closest to you. The colors behind the numbers on the compass page red/yellow/green and generally mean bad/caution/good. I really need to do a video and describe the meaning behind everything. The color coding of the compass numbers was my wife’s idea. 😊 I guess to sum it up, I’d told all my friends here in Alabama so many times during the development that it slipped my mind. Sorry about that and it is now on my radar screen, no pun intended. 😄 Thanks again! Eddie Barber developer@weathaware.com

This problem was fixed. Feel free to email me at contact@weathaware.com if you see another issue. Thank you. 😊
Faster Than Local WX Coverage
I got a tornado warning from this app two minutes sooner than I did from our major Atlanta weather team (WSB-TV). TWO minutes could mean the difference between life and death in a severe weather situation.
The app is straight forward and effective. Check it out; it could save your life.
Great app!

Just realizing I could reply. Thank you! The newest versions, Lite 1.4.0 and Plus 1.4.0, are out and hopefully more useful. I think closest point of approach (CPA you referenced) is one of the unique aspects of WeathAware that most people don't realize exists in WeathAware's Compass view. Maybe I should accentuate that?
Paid app with ads..
Response from developer
I just realized I could reply. Sorry about the ads. The current version does not have ads and hasn't for some time. Ads were added to the app just to generate a little revenue to help pay the recurring costs I have. Considering a weather related app get's used very little, It wasn't generating much income and wasn't worth the time and effort. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you give WeathAware another look. If you do, please take time to read the history of the genesis of WeathAware available at the "Info" icon on the main page. It was built to solve a problem and hopefully pay it's own way. Again, thanks and feel free to contact me. Signed, "Head Cook and Bottle Washer", Eddie Barber.
