This was my first time ever downloading a tornado tracker app, and honestly, I didn’t hesitate to pay for it. We had a tornado warning in our area — which is pretty rare for us — and it felt like it was time to take things more seriously.The learning section of the app is simple, clear, and actually useful. It doesn’t overwhelm you — it just helps you understand what you need to know.What really stood out to me was the ability to save their contact information. If I ever get a call or text, I’ll immediately know it’s legitimate and not some random spam or scam. In a moment like that, clarity matters — and that feature brings a lot of peace of mind.You can tell this app was built with real people in mind. It’s practical, easy to use, and gives a sense of preparedness without adding panic.Genuinely thankful for what you’ve created here.

Sipping my morning coffee reading what is the single BEST review we’ve gotten so far - you made my day! Thanks for being a Tornado Tracker Pro user. You nailed the key reason this app was built in the first place - every other tornado app / weather app is cluttered and incredibly confusing. I work in tech and know my way around technology - 99% apps in this space are NOT user friendly at all. Being simple and easy to use /understand was the foundation on which this app was built. We still have work to do, but I’m so happy you already feel that way! Stay safe.
Wow
will take charge
You can stop at the title. Found myself in a 10% bubble and could see the line of storms. Found the app in an X search. The frequent updates, details associated with areas of concern and paths was really sharp and just the quick turnarounds to knock events down. There were multiple polygons around me but the paths and details let me know I was gonna get a storm, but not a tornado. Well done.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. We spent lot of time architecting this in a way that presents the data from the NWS as quickly as possible (included getting access to the NWS Open Interface) Sounds like it’s doing its job. Thanks again and stay safe!
Just one request
Weatherandtornadoenthusiast
I have no complaints, but maybe you could add broadcasts from the noaa weather stations, those have helped me before and I believe they could also help other people learn more about weather, plus they are fun to listen to!Besides this I have no problems, it is already basically perfect

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it means a lot! We’ve spent a lot of hours working to make this app as intuitive and user friendly as we can and we’ll continue to do so!
very good for places that get lots of tornados like within tornado alley
Person…………….
this app is very useful, when there’s a powerful storms and of big supercells you’ll be in luck with this app, you can see tornados live, and you can see the tornado warnings, very good app, but if possible make it Easier to see the storm itself

-Fixed: Active warnings correctly reflect the latest escalation or de-escalation status, while expired warnings preserve the highest severity reached
-Fixed: Eliminated a brief white screen flash that could appear after signing into Pro on iOS
-Improved: Reduced map rendering overhead by optimizing polygon animation logic
