Hurricane Tracker For Ipad App Reviews

My go to August- September weather map/ forecast.

I've been through a bunch of tracking apps, this by far has the most info, I'm impressed.

I live in Charleston South Carolina having access to this detailed information helps in our decision making when a hurricane is coming our way

A much needed app for anyone living in coastal areas along the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic. Timely information on all threatening storms giving us time to prepare and get out of the way of dangerous hurricanes.

I have used this app for many years living in south Florida. The push alerts are timely and informative. The information and maps are very accurate. Recommend highly.

Hard to understand Pacio from Atlantic

We are full time cruisers and have been relying on Hurricane Tracker for a lot of years. The notifications are the best and keep us aware of conditions.

This is my go-to app whenever a tropical storm and/or hurricane threatens us. Storm tracks and info are updated frequently during impending storms... and I rely on this info to aid in evacuation decisions for our family. Love this app. It gives me more info than I could ever have imagined. Helps tremendously in preparing for the storm! Thank you.

Update: 10/23/17... Wrote Hurricane Tracker about high resolution map issue below. No response. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Also no response here. -1 star for poor customer support. Hurricane Tracker has a wealth of information that will delight the weather enthusiast and anyone who wants all the necessary information to monitor one of nature's fiercest beasts. So it was much to my surprise to find that the app does not provide a high resolution map (think Google Maps) with the most probable storm strack superimposed over it. It appears all the maps are provided by the NHC. They are quite low-resolution. I understand that hurricane tracks are part science (a big part) and part magic. So, for example, a high resolution map, with a thin, high resolution line predicting that Hurricane Irma will go just to the east of Key West would have to be taken with a grain of salt. But, I still would REALLY like to have such a map included in Hurricane Tracker! Right now, any attempt to zoom in on any map to gather a more detailed view just produces pixelated nonsense. It's frustrating.

This is the best hurricane tracker I have found on the market. Information is collected and arranged so it is very easy to find all updates in a single location. I wish it was also on my pc as I could delete a dozen other URL.

Hurricane Tracker is a very good app for those of us who live in the Southern US along the ocean and Gulf. The only downside was it took me a while to understand what the various charts were depicting ( faulty user.)

After huracán maria I’ve been looking for an accurate storm tracker and I found it in the Hurricane Tracker for iPad it’s the best one, since we know that September is the hieghest time for hurricanes to form we need to be in the lookout Hurricane Tracker for iPad makes the difference between being safe in the right time.

I live in Puerto Rico and out here we need lots of information when the Atlantic gets feisty. We are all junior meteorologists! This app has all the basic stuff plus lots of the deeper views we like to watch such as the Sahara dust map, and the different models. This is my go to app. It takes about 5 different websites on my Mac to get what I get here.

The updated tracks and cones, full availability of data for maritimers, people potentially in the way, etc., details on all models, Advisories and NHC discussion are a very complete suite. The audio updates during storms are excellent. Alwaysbeenahurricanewatcher.

Hurricane Tracker was a godsend last week. Keeping an eye on Florence and its potential impact on our property, friends, and relatives was much appreciated. A great tool!

This is by far the best app for storm tracking. It combines all the different sources to give you the full picture of the storm. Overall this app is worth a look, great solid information when you need it.

Lots of info, deep data, pretty much everything you could want.

I live in eastern NC & I have had this app for several years. It is a great app, the best to have for tracking these storms. Very informative with reliable and concise information. I rely on it for accurate information and for alerts.

Island life demands that you know what is headed your way. Been tracking & studying Atlantic hurricanes for 30 years in the Caribbean & this app has become my go to source. User friendly, easy to navigate & accurate information! Puts the best of NOAA at your finger tips.

All the National Weather Service Info, plus Hurricane Trackers own in depth reports and graphics. Wind shear info at different altitudes... etc. Many reports of interest to pilots on really large storms, as more private pilots move their planes out of range.

Love it, works great. Very good app!

We use this APP during HURRICANE season and it is easy to navigate!

Offers well-organized, comprehensive information. I particularly appreciate their detailed models.

Awesome up to date weather information. Keep up the good work

Glad to have this on the Gulf Coast.

This app really does a great job of providing me all the information I need to track storms. Since I live on the gulf coast, I need to know the particulars to plan with.

Excellent app. Very informative and helpful for us in South Florida!

I’m notified of any storms, find out all the data on the storms and can watch its path.

I love this app, I’m a snowbird and this always keeps me up to date on my area in Florida. The notifications are especially helpful when anything is headed in that direction. I feel better knowing I have this to refer to. Thanks for a great resource.

New this app and plan to use it often.Easy to move around in.

Plenty of information in this app, easy to use, and fast loading. The problem I have with it is, it hasn’t been updated in over a year. The app hasn’t been updated since iOS 12 was released, and we are about to see iOS 13. The app dev seems to have abandoned this app.

Update. Do NOT buy this app (Hurricane Tracker) if you live on the coast and need to know where the storm is when it’s approaching your area. Additionally, it does not have an archive of past storms; useful during the winter months. The information this app does have is not helpful to anyone in the predicted path of a storm. A total re-write is needed. HurricanesPro does have a tracking map with relative bearing and distance to your location. It also has an archive of all past storms. It was very helpful during Florence: I live in Wilmington, NC. We still a good app for those on the coast. At this time, the only choice is HurricanesPro. I’m not affiliated with them.

In a rapidly changing environment it is disappointing to find this app is running far behind with updates, at 10 pm I am being shown 1 pm discussions and 11am positions

Best $$ spent in an app. A wealth of data well organized.

Great information at my fingertips

Easy and friendly to use. Best I’ve seen .

I love their reports. Keeps me updated in a timely manner. Good source for bad weather.

Living on the North Carolina coast, I check it every day (often many times) during the hurricane season. First thing I check in the morning. Great App and easy to navigate

Live in Melbourne, Florida and having up-to-date hurricane information is a necessity.

Probably the only weather app I have come across that charges for iPad AND iPhone versions. Contacted the company for support/concerns months ago and never heard back. Bad customer service!

I bought App before Matthew last year. Gives great data on all the tropical activity of concern. The maps and models along with the satellite images give you the capability to make the critical decision... Stay or Go.

Great app

Best app for Hurricane info

I love anything weather. Great app for following storms as they come off the African coast. Detailed graphics are great as is the push notifications for latest update. App extremely informative and interesting. I have family in Florida on the coast.

Our sailboat is always somewhere between the Florida Keys and the central and northern Bahamas. This is my go to source for immediate updates and a compilation of all data sources on storms. What I particularly like is the constant updates on Invests, the name for disturbances long before they become important to broadcasters or even mentioned on NWS tweets.

The TV networks all had Albert named before this app upgraded it. Otherwise, it’s pretty good.

Admittedly not the most modern-looking interface and the home page is a little confusing, but a WEALTH of information. It has all the National Hurricane Center forecasts in real time, the graphical hurricane cones, the spaghetti tracks, etc... you name it. I used to have to go to a variety of websites to piece all this information together and it is all right here. I love that it starts tracking storms at the invest stage which no other app will do. Replaces several other apps and internet bookmarks. Excellent excellent excellent.

Not user friendly, limited on info

I live in coastal Georgia so we fairly often have to worry about at least the outer bands of hurricanes, so I like having a reliable app to help me keep track.

Anyone living or working on or near the ocean, fisherman, boaters, marine workers need apps like this, that bring as many perspectives as possible, to keep up on any dangerous conditions.

Sent from my iPad n Sunday, Sept 10 at 2:34 pm DURING IRMA I am evacuated from Hurricane Irma. This app is not working. All my other free weather apps are working, albeit without as much detail as this would provide, if it worked. It worked until today I bought this app less than a week ago....so I would have knowledge about whatever happened during Irma. Imagination about the unknown is always worse than reality. No help here I have asked for an immediate refund.

I have been using this app for quite a while and it has been reliable and excellent source of weather advisory. Highly recommend for serious storms as a great prep for what's coming.

Best weather app on the apple store. I'm a insurance adjuster I use this app to keep me up to date on conditions.

Stopped working with one hurricane and two tropical storms doing there thing. Not good!!!

The title to this review tells you enough. I watch the waters east of Houston during hurricane season very closely. This app does a lot to help me understand what's happening and may happen.

I love this app. Complete, up-to-date info even without power.

Of course I only use it during hurricane season, but it gives me all the maps and data I need to cut to the chase. Meteorologists make you listen is all their banter before giving the maps/charts.

thanks

Used throughout the Irma situation and found it to be very useful once I got the hang of how to explore the many features. Very useful and accurate. Probably my favorite app for weather related research.

I live in a hurricane prone area so use this app regularly! I've tried many - this is the best I've found. The information available - from the satellite pics, to the many forecast graphics, to the detailed analysis - is outstanding. It's all as updated as soon as the weather centers release it. And the user interface is fantastic - intuitive and easy to us. Love it!

This is the best tracker that I have found since the app “Hurricane” stopped being supported. The NHC graphics are better than in the NHC app. I am going to make a donation to the developer so that I can also have the app on my laptop.

Used app for 2 hurricane seasons and found it to be a great help. Tells you all you need to know in a concise format without annoying ads popping up all over the place. Wish all apps could be as good.

This is my go to app when hurricane season starts. I live in Florida and the minute a hurricane forms every local news station goes into media fueled paranoia mode because, well, they make money off these disasters and want you to only watch their stations for info. This app gives you all of the info you need with none of the bs.

This app has way too much information, which might be helpful for professional weather people, those who follow hurricanes, or those who live in areas that are frequently hit by them. The rest of us need a bare-bones/simplified version of this app.

Great app... We use this app all the time for boating and for when its hurricane season to stay informed. Highly recommended...

Hurricane tracker is the use. I can quickly find out what I need to know. Just about all of the information is there.

Much like Nomi in the movie, relies on the talents of others to make itself look good. Clunky and dated layout, information is easier to access via the websites, and the discussion and “opinions” are essentially useless. Waste of my time and money. Two thumbs down.

If anyone has ever lived through the experiences of the devastation caused by a hurricane and resides or has interests that exist in hurricane prone ares will want to own this App. Simply stated, it is by far the most comprehensive hurricane tracking application available. The precise, up to the minute data provided will reliably assist you in your decision making in regards to hurricane preparedness. The producers of this App should be recognized for the care that they put into developing this tremendous resource. They have preformed a Life Saving Service........

Best weather app !!! Has everything I wanted including what I call the spaghetti for where it will go. The weather Chanel doesn’t cover nearly enough. This app makes sense it covers everything

There’s so much going on in this app, it’s like being in a hurricane. They’ve got to figure out a way to simplify it and clean it up. All the screens have so much information and everything’s so big. It’s confusing and overwhelming. What if I just want to see the hurricane and it’s projected path? Scroll, click, scroll again, click again. Too many data sources.

Have been using Hurricane Tracker for several years, and the latest version is the best yet!

This app is dependable and thorough. For anyone who lives in a hurricane vulnerable area, this app is absolutely indispensable. Absolutely the best; it’s like being in the National Hurricane Center with all the very best people doing their job.

Timely and dependable information

There is a major hurricane that is spring just off the coast of Mexico, and not one word is mentioned on this app. What is up with that? Big time fail. Done.

Hopefully, we'll get a high-resolution map feature in an update and I can add that missing star.

Major storm in east Pacific...no info

We live in Florida, USA, so this app is a life saver - literally. It works perfectly, gives you all the information you may need days and days prior to events for planning purposes. It’s much more than a weather app, it is an in-depth, detailed description for local coastline expectations, ships at sea, and everything in between. Thank you NHC for this great app!

All of a sudden (October 2017) the app isn’t up-to-date, i.e., Nate is showing as the next name but that storm has come and gone. Also it doesn’t indicate Ophelia as a currently active storm except on the graphic. It’s been a great app, but something needs to be fixed.

Best app out there right now. I live in Corpus Christi Tx. Used this app during Harvey. It's the best app out there. I deleted the other hurricane apps that I had. Keep up the good work. We , on the gulf coast need this app. Thank you for your work. Just wanted to thank you for all the work you do on this app. It's still the best one out there. This app. Was so useful to me this hurricane season. Thanks again.

The most complete information with the most frequent updates, broadest range of available imagery; all presented in a package that is intuitive to use and a pleasure (if that word can be used for a hurricane information app) to view. Most highly recommended for users at any level of sophistication. LJS

Updates 1557 EST 10/10/18 were 1000 AM. During major storms, updates should be more frequent for storms hitting populated areas. Not working hard enough!

This app gets points for including the information that I need, and more. But the usability and visual design of the app itself are tragic. The storms that you want to follow are buried under “mystery meat navigation”, where you have to guess the storm’s current strength to be able to find it. Once you find it, the charts are also buried under mystery meat navigation. And they’re divided into three categories so that you’re forced to interact with the app to navigate forward and back, forward and back, just to see them all. Visual design is subjective and I don’t want to insult someone who obviously worked h****** it, but let’s just say that it’s the opposite of current minimalist, modernist design trends. These things start to really grate on your nerves when there is a storm near you and you need to check frequently for updates. If I could find an app with similar information and better usability then I would switch in a second.
