Storm Tracker‪°‬ 4+

Reliability Approved

This app proved its reliability to me during the tropical storm/category 1 Hurricane Isaias, in the exact location where the hurricane entered (Oak Island NC) during our annual summer vacation there.
Having lived in Florida for decades, I was used to hurricanes (with accompanying hurricane parties) and to me a tropical storm in an ocean front was not much to worry about, right? Well, as the tides began to change, and the tropical storm turned category 1 on top of us, this app was quite precise at telling me the exact location of the eye of the storm and it’s significant wind-bands, with accurate wind speeds and precipitation.
All in all, I was able to calculate up to minutes apart from the worst part of the storm, to when the storm itself would begin to wind down - and match it to real time.
The area endured some severe damages and scramble mode kicked in for our family, and with experience of post hurricane know-how, we were able to leave the island on time, with minor damages to our personal property the morning after the storm.
This app was a significant tool at my disposal on a crucial moment in time, and allowed me to calculate adequately my next move after battling the elements that summer evening - and allowed me and my family to spend the rest of our vacation elsewhere, safely... A standing ovation for weather radars.

Excellent forecasts, slow updates

Was looking for an app with a simple interface that shows the size of the wind field for hurricanes. This one has it. So many apps only show the eye of the storm. But the wind field is often larger on the east size of Atlantic hurricanes than in the west side, so the size of the wind field is an important piece of information to have.

So viewing the forecast track was great, but on the day of Elsa’s landfall, the forecast layer got stuck at 5am and still showed the storm west of Tampa while the radar layer correctly showed the storm hitting the Panhandle. Disappointing. Can’t find a tech support link in the app to report the problem, either.

We should get to choose updates!

Yeah probably sounds crazy, stupid, all things, but I friggin hate having a great app like I had with this then you go and update when you dident need to change a single thing it was perfect and now can’t stand the layout, now there are add pop up’s when you log on first when there wasn’t any before ,well it was just a simple easy system all around it didn’t need changing , truthfully if there was another I’d leave I’m looking now .I really liked it the way it was loved the format/ layout it WAS perfection ,simple to refresh still haven’t figured that out yet ,why did you have to change at least let us have a choice to either stay with an old version or go with a new don’t force it on us all the time it’s so annoying .I never had any problems in all the years I had this app it ran perfectly s sad to see it change ,I hate the ads at the beginning don’t mind them at bottom at all but why why I’m sad boo! It was a great app now 👎 was⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Now⭐️⭐️⭐️
