The idea of Hail Recon is better than the actual performance behind the app. You would think with the amount of money it cost to subscribe to Hail Recon that they would put more money into development within their app to improve it/update it but they haven’t. The app feels like it belongs on my iPhone 3G; definitely not my iPhone X.Unfortunately, given the limited amount of development for apps like this, I will say it’s the best of the bunch, unfortunately..
THE BEST APP EVER!!!

I love the Hail Recon app! It is the app for Interactive Hail Maps so you must buy a subscription but it is totally worth it and gives way more information than the free Hail apps which is great if you’re in the storm restoration industry. I love that I can pull any hail date in my area based on a specific address or broad area. Their data base goes back to 2011 also. Being able to use Hail recon for canvassing and tracking my salesmen’s progress. Customer service is great too, everyone is very helpful and friendly and always answers the phone even after hours.
The app is collecting information about you
Whoopn
I recently received an email from Hail Recon that claimed they can give you names, phone numbers, and email addresses of any house you tap on in this app. Do not support this kind of information gathering. Knowing names, fine that is public information you can request from local governments (though I doubt they did this).Knowing phone numbers, this is actually not legal unless consent was given. But fine there are places where a company can subscribe to get this information in a sort of gray-market manner. Knowing emails though, that is where I take issue. That information is not public knowledge. I’m not sure where they’re getting the information from but I for one don’t want mine so easily obtained. Reported to Apple Store for policy violation.The developer claims this is all publicly available information. My email address is not publicly available. At best he is scraping this from Facebook and LinkedIn at worst it’s a boldfaced lie.
Developer Response
Hail Recon does not collect and then distribute any personal information about anyone, period. While we do offer access to publicly available information via subscription through 3rd party data providers, it is 100% legal, scrubbed via the FTC's National Do Not Call list, and in no way part of a "gray-market".
Another round of ever dwindling crash fixes.
