Hurricane Harvey

This app was extremely helpful during the hurricane. Many tornadoes were spawned before and during Harvey and Tornado Spy never missed sending out warnings. Great app!
Update

Found out how to get rid of ads and gladly paid my $.99. Thanks. Map now looks much nicer.

I am a NWS trained spotter and this app is awesome!!! The ability for users to report tornadoes and hail activity AND to include a picture is a very useful tool to help bolster public safety!!!! I grew up in Texas and severe storms there are commonplace, but here in the northeast, they are rare. There is very little in the way of public notification about really severe weather (limited severe weather sirens) so this tool is VERY useful in getting the word out, sometimes even BEFORE the NWS issues a warning. In June 2011, tornadoes popped all around the northeast and users of this app reported a tornado about 15 minutes before ANY warning was issued. I wasn't using the app at that time, but in the history it shows that a user reported the tornado before the NWS!!! Unfortunately, the warning didn't get passed on early enough to prevent loss of life, but as more users come online, hopefully we can limit the loss of life and injury due to severe weather!!!!!
Best weather app I have!

Finally, a weather app I can trust to give me up to the minute info on hail and tornados! With this app, I can sleep, knowing I will be alerted if damaging weather is headed my way.
Support is fantastic

Great app!!! I can't believe the customer support. I was tired of getting texts from my local weather in the middle of the night for fog. Who cares about fog? This app will let me know if I'm in danger!!!
Email alert only?!!

Just bought this and now realize the only alert they send, is to my email!?! Helpful at 8am, the only time I check my email. WAAAASTE OF $. Need an alarm with push notification or I'm up in a funnel.
