Look No Further

This dedicated hurricane tracking app is worth every byte of storage on my phone. I’ve only used the free version of the app, but the free version already offers a lot. Between the time-of-arrival predictions, cone trajectory predictions, spaghetti models, rainfall predictions, and multiple satellite image displays showing everything from enhanced photos to humidity levels, all gathered from the most recent NOAA data, the free version is wanting in nothing. I was able to keep total up-to-date awareness of Hurricane Ian as it came through my neighborhood, and was able to make informed decisions thanks to the data provided by this app. I basically didn’t need to check the news for info on Hurricane Ian, but I did anyways, and the data lined up every time. In fact, I found that the news was unable to provide more information than this app, with the sole exception of Doppler radar, and there are other dedicated apps for that, like MyRadar. With all that said, the paid version is enticing considering a considerably expanded toolset to track hurricanes, and it is fairly cheap ($9.99 for a year, or $3.99 per month). The free version definitely gave me everything I needed to track Hurricane Ian, but the app is so good that I am willing to support and get the paid version.

Absolute best app for real data that’s also easy to understand.

This app is critical for anyone who lives in an area with tropical weather/systems. There have been hurricanes where the data in the app (which updates at the same time meteorologists get their update) gets to me faster than the news on TV/online. Living on the Gulf coast of Florida, anyone that’s been here for the last few years knows how many storms have been down to minute changes in course or strength to determine when to evacuate or change plans. This app keeps you 100% up to date and I highly recommend the subscription. With the subscription I usually have a 1-2 day lead on storm development before the news is even talking about it. There are so many features and maps and graphics that I feel like real meteorologists must get about the same data if at all any more. TL;DR This app is as good for the average person as it would be for a trained meteorologist, and is the ONLY app you need to be totally prepared in any hurricane.

The best hurricane data source aggregator

This app is simply the best for tracking storms, gathering data and displaying it in useful ways. A variety of model tools are available. The app, and especially the Pro subscription is worth every penny if you live in an area susceptible to hurricane impacts. The Developer support is terrific, the developer responds quickly to questions. Updates and improvements just keep coming and the app is getting better and better. I do wish the developer would embrace “dark mode” or simply modify the screen colors to tone down all the white space; the menu screens would be so much more pleasing and easy on the eyes.

Finishing up with another hurricane season coming to an end. I wouldn’t want to be without this app, even after hurricane season is over. The model forecasts are great, providing up to 16-day forecasts that show future storms across the country. As a traveler, this app keeps me informed. Worth every penny!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the review! I’m glad you are finding the app useful.
