Best there is! – Hurricane Tracker Review

Being in Southern Florida, tropical storms are a concern June to November, and even outside of these occasionally... I've tried several weather apps, both paid and free, and many have their own features, but Hurricane Tracker has everything, all the info from NOAA and the National Hurricane Center, plus some screens I don't know where they came from... Because of this app, no more waiting for 3, 6 & 12 hour reports on local news, when a storm is active these folks have us all tapped in to whatever the NHC has at the moment, all in one place. They got all the latest satellite images, radar and loops, projected paths from the same computers that run the different models, all the text releases. It's certainly possible to get these on your own (which I used to do), but everything's here!... In times past it was a problem with the bandwidth, but since service has got better it makes even more sense. So if you find yourself frustrated waiting on the local news to get the latest about an approaching storm, I recommend Hurricane Tracker. You can even get access from their website too, if you want to see larger versions of satellite and radar. I went through Andrew, plus every other storm down here since Camille, and after searching, this is the best app I could find for this purpose. Update 9/08/2021 - I wanted to include a note about the available upgrade, for more “In Depth” information, this is a product that can give a better understanding of wind speeds that are possible on a map, something the hurricane center does not do, and also has a few maps that are unique to Hurricane Tracker. I’ve been using the upgrade now over a couple of seasons, and what they give is about as close to forecasting as can be with claiming to be clairvoyant! The Hurricane center shows you a dot where the center of the storm is forecast to traverse, but there is actually more information, such as certain wind fields that may cross over the same areas (tropical storm, hurricane, hurricane 2, etc.) and Hurricane Tracker loads this into one map, and that is only one of the additional products offered in the package. Trust me, worth the extra cost, and I STILL have not seen a better app for tracking tropical cyclones than Hurricane Tracker, paid or not!
