   Two faces. This was my review from years ago: It delivers all the info you need to know about developing or existing storms, making it easy to plan ahead. All this without the hype and more precision of local broadcast stations. Very recommendable. - In the meantime I can only advise against this app. They drown the public (!!) information in endless adds, making it almost unusable. Get the weather.com app, or the NOAA one. :)

2. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Too many ads. 30-60 seconds each, usually that insufferable royal match ad, no way to pass by. App would be fine if it wasn’t for that. Bookmarking the NHC website gets you there without the waiting.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   DO NOT DOWNLOAD!. You can’t get past the ads. I finally deleted it and am searching for a new satellite weather site. The positive ratings must all be fake.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Nothing but ads. This app used to be useful once you got by the ads, which was frustrating but doable. Now, I can’t even get out of the ads to see a satellite view. No way to X out of an ad. This might be an short term anomaly but I’ve had enough with this app. Done with it.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Used to be a great app, ads have ruined it.. Used to be a great app, probably still is if you can get past the game ads. No way to X out after a reasonable amount of time. I am deleting it.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Global storms. Terrible! when it’s so important to know what the hurricane predictions are…you get stuck in a hamburger ad and can’t get out! A short ad is one thing….but this is hurricane season!

7. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   No content. Today I clicked on this app and it sent me to my search engine for an ad for Home Depot. Could never get into the app. I’ve loved this app, but, today, I could not use it. I don’t mind ads, if you can watch them and return to the app. This didn’t work today. My app is not connected to my search engine…it’s an app.

8. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Long and annoying ads. This app is unwatchable because of the annoying ads for various games. Ads run about one minute or more before exiting is possible. Even then they may come back when least expected.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Storm of ads. This used to be go-to during hurricane season, now half the advertisements can’t be closed even after watching. What a waist.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    FYI. I deleted after all these years because of ads

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Does NOT WORK on multiple droid & IOS devices!. Global Storms WAS nice until lately! Now, no satellite loops function and NEVER stops loading those maps. Further, the company never responds to questions and concerns!

12. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Deleting after years. I used this app for years, but new advertising feature is intolerable. The ads are intrusive, ling, and very difficult to skip after they’ve run.

13. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    All ads all the time. Long, full-window ads. What happened to this app?

14. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Too many advertisements. Could be a great app but way too many ads. You really can’t even navigate to what you’d like to see without dealing with at least 3 advertisements. It’s a bit ridiculous

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Add Ridden. Couldn’t get to the actual app due to all the popups and commercials. Don’t waste your time.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Changed for the worse. Used to be a good app, now every click opens an ad. It isn’t useable at all anymore

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Misleading name for app suggests this is an ‘official’ app….it is not. Not an official app. Just basic and generic app full if waiting on ads to end to get up to date hurricane info. Don’t waste your time or battery life using this app in an actual storm zone. At least be a better app if you are going to force people to pay and/or sit through ads. I’ll be deleting this one from my phone asap. Florida resident here.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Awful, disgusting and should be illegal !. I paid for this app years ago and it used to be my go-to for storm information. They have changed what I originally paid for to force me to watch 30 seconds of stupid kid games ads. Every time. I am deleting it. It should be illegal or at least against Apple policy to sell someone one thing and then to change it drastically to something different.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Ads. I totally understand the need for ads to help pay for app services, but enoughs enough! 30 second to eventually get to hurricane tracking to sometimes have to see it twice is crazy! Please look at ways to place ads that don’t make it so difficult to bypass.

20. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Ads. Every time you look for something, an ad pops up

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Used to be an okay app…. I’ve used this app for years. Every now and again you’d get an annoying pop up add. No big deal. Now… You can’t even get to the information. Ad pops up, runs for 30 seconds or more and won’t let you close it! Worthless.

22. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Ads Too Long. This site is devoted to urgent weather updates but makes you sit through lengthy ads to get to content. Will look for better alternatives.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Horrible ads. Can’t ever seem to get to the actual weather/forecast because of the NEVER ENDING string of ads. Used to be a valuable service, now I’m deleting because it’s totally useless.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Awful. Cannot look at even ONE map..continuous pop ups

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Too many adds. Get rid of the stupid adds. They destroy the usefulness of this app

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Dumb. Stupid cartoon keeps coming up.

27. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Awful. Infected with ads. Unusable

28. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Too many Advertisements. This app was good, now they added so many Ads it’s unusable.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Can’t get through the ads!. I like the Forecasts and graphics. I would give it a 5 ! The problem is having to restart the App several times to get in !

30. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Disgusting. Get rid of annoying ads. I’m looking for hurricane information, not some loud intrusive ad.
