A naive one among seamen
It was NOT his first rodeo with storms but mine. When I asked husband, a retired USN Captain, was he good with booking the Caribbean beach trip during hurricane season, he said yes. I did book travel insurance that included cancellation & evacuation thinking we’ll leave ahead of storms to be avoided. My experience with storms or living by the sea is just watching the news to see what’s headed in my direction living inland. Then like buying a car, sightings increased as attention to hurricane season threats became popular news items. My concerns about cancelling mounted and focus shifted to what would guide decisions to leave. Asking our son with over 30 years as a first responder that include 20+ in USCG how to monitor for threats — since the “local” newscasts would be Florida-based not our little island — this app was 1 of 2 he sent. SO… when reports of the tropical storm named Helene escalated, this app was SO HELPFUL to provide details that my husband who had lived a decade in NOLA assessing storms that could prompt the fleet to relocate could use now. Meanwhile this app helped me manage my anxiety and decision-making, especially amid the howling winds and pouring rain when the sea state seemed it would reach us ashore. Later as I and others most sadly learned again, forecasts are not the ultimate source of outcomes and the force of water. This app certainly helped this storm newbie and her old sea dog avoid heading home too soon.

Absolute best app for real data that’s also easy to understand.
This app is critical for anyone who lives in an area with tropical weather/systems. There have been hurricanes where the data in the app (which updates at the same time meteorologists get their update) gets to me faster than the news on TV/online. Living on the Gulf coast of Florida, anyone that’s been here for the last few years knows how many storms have been down to minute changes in course or strength to determine when to evacuate or change plans. This app keeps you 100% up to date and I highly recommend the subscription. With the subscription I usually have a 1-2 day lead on storm development before the news is even talking about it. There are so many features and maps and graphics that I feel like real meteorologists must get about the same data if at all any more. TL;DR This app is as good for the average person as it would be for a trained meteorologist, and is the ONLY app you need to be totally prepared in any hurricane.

Love It!
This app is great for monitoring systems in tropical regions. The information provided in this app has been accurate, timely, and up-to-date with developing systems. I have used this app for over a year and it is a great tools I would highly recommend anyone that lives in a tropical area get this app. It is easy to use and provides the necessary data to track hurricanes. It is not perfect, but I have noticed updates over the last year and am optimistic the trend of improvement will continue. One thing I would like to see is for areas that have the right conditions be reported. It does show areas of interest but there is a delay in the reporting when conditions are right for development verses when there is confidence in something developing. That may not be significant for some, but I am a nosey planner and like to know what is going on out there even if something does not develop. One thing I love are the spaghetti models! Those are fascinating to me.
