Latest update · v2.7.10

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

This version includes general performance improvements and bug fixes.

Recurring themes

Pricing & Ads negative
Many users complain about confusing and high subscription costs, with some reporting being charged weekly instead of yearly or unexpectedly after cancellation. The free version is widely criticized for an overwhelming number of aggressive and long ads that impede usability.R1R2R4R5
Accuracy & Data Issues negative
A frequent complaint is that the radar and forecast data are inaccurate, outdated, or simply do not load. Some users note the app is consistently 30 minutes behind real-time weather or shows clear skies during heavy rain. This directly contradicts the developer's claim of 'general performance improvements and bug fixes' if data accuracy is still a major issue.R4R8R9R13
Functionality & Bugs negative
Users report various bugs, including the app freezing, loading slowly, not recognizing paid subscriptions on new devices, or failing to save/track desired locations. Essential features like forecasting beyond current conditions, a legend for map colors, or a widget are also missing or unclear.R5R8R10R11
Storm Tracking positive
Despite the issues, many users find the app effective for tracking severe weather like tornadoes and hurricanes, appreciating its graphics, intensity scales, and alerts.R2R3R23R25

Who it's for

This app is for users who prioritize detailed storm and hurricane tracking, especially those who need alerts for severe weather R25R80. It is not for users who expect consistently accurate real-time radar, wish to avoid aggressive ads in a free version, or are unwilling to pay a premium for potentially buggy features R4R6R7.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly regarding pricing, ads, and data accuracy. While there are positive reviews, they are often less detailed and focus on the app's core storm tracking ability, which some negative reviews also acknowledge but find undermined by other issues. The developer's notes mention 'general performance improvements and bug fixes,' but recent reviews directly contradict this, with users still reporting significant bugs and performance problems.

  1. [R2] 5/5 · US Great app for chasing: Very good app i love it besides the 10$ a week
  2. [R3] 5/5 · US Thx: Awesome helps when nado hits
  3. [R23] 5/5 · US My option for storms: Love the graphics and storm tracks, the intensity scale is very good.
  4. [R25] 5/5 · US Island life: Island living is beautiful and breathtaking as well as dangerous when the threat of hurricanes or tropical storms can affect us. Storm tracker is an easy to follow format that I rely on keeping me informed and more equipped to handle adverse weather conditions.
  5. [R80] 5/5 · US WORK LIKE A CHARM: This help alone because it shows if there gonna be really bad weather… Like for example: A tornado it would right away send you a alert and a siren… it helps for my family so we can be put safe and not be put in danger. We would now know when to take shelter and know if it gonna be really bad rain storm or a huge hail or snow storm🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
  6. [R82] 5/5 · US Very pleased with the service!: I am very pleased with the immediate weather feedback that the app provides. It is extremely useful in many aspects of our lives from just being informed about local weather as well as widespread coverage over given areas. It helps greatly with regular home life as well as travel plans. Great service!
  7. [R84] 4/5 · US Sure it’s okay: I like how it tells me when there is a storm tornado or flood BUT I kinda can’t under stand it
  8. [R103] 5/5 · US You can help get daily weather alerts on storm tracker°: Storm Tracker° helps you get daily weather alerts and alerts from different cities and stuff and it would show you alerts and stuff like that and would say things like good morning today you can expect temperatures between the two temps tap to see and have a nice day
  9. [R34] 5/5 · US Pretty good: Like the interface. Easy to use. Needs a CarPlay feature.
  10. [R56] 5/5 · US Best weather app by far, user friendly too… ✋🏼💎: I my opinion, this is by far the best weather app, clean user friendly, completely without riff-raff, lots of great features, bell & whistles
  11. [R72] 5/5 · US Weather App.: I use this App. on a daily basis (multiple times a day). I work for the City of Lebanon Fire Dept. In Lebanon, MO. It assists me to plan my day. I also am the Weather Chief for our county Office of Emergency Management (O.E.M.). This app. helps assist me with giving our Laclede County Fire Chiefs & our Laclede County O.E.M. Officials the best & most current forecast.
  12. [R1] 1/5 · US False advertising: It was stating $4.99 a year but when you click on it then it changes to $4.99 a week
  13. [R4] 1/5 · US Lame: This app costs a fair bit and is worse than free apps that do similar things. I regret wasting my money and assume I misheard the person who recommended it. Even with paying, the radar function does not forecast (eg it stops about 5 ago) and the forecast screen show the same data any free app shows. I really wish I paid weekly so I could have tried it first. You can change temperature f
  14. [R5] 3/5 · US Decent app horrible design: When I first got in the app it showed a black screen 📺 and it wants you to pay for hurricane tracking and wind 🌬️ tracking so it just charges me 29$ a year so I hope you read this thank you!!
  15. [R6] 1/5 · US Ads everywhere: Very aggressive ads that make the free version even ridiculous to use. Go with Weather Channels app instead.
  16. [R7] 1/5 · US $$$$$$: The free version has ads that block everything. The paid version is too expensive for the typical person.
  17. [R33] 2/5 · US Bad but usable: It’s too many ads and you have to pay a bunch of money. It’s kinda annoying, but you can still use it. I write this two out of 5
  18. [R35] 1/5 · US Scam: All add no weather
  19. [R8] 3/5 · US Laggy and Late: I have refreshed this app MULTIPLE times, and it still shows warnings from (as of now) 6 months and 24 days ago. I tried everything to try to get the map to refresh and be up-to-date when it comes to information and warnings, but to no avail. It is accurate, however, when it comes to tropical cyclones forecasts and radar images. This app is decent, but it has its flaws as well.
  20. [R9] 1/5 · US Wrong temperature: Do you ever go to your app and monitor the weather? No way it is 27 degrees in Texas but at the top it says 79 degrees.
  21. [R13] 1/5 · US App does not work at this time. Do not purchase this app.: Do not buy this app, it is not working at all. It is currently not populating any current weather data or forecast data. Sent an email 30+ days ago and received no response from Impala Studios the developer. I have to assume at this time the developer is no longer supporting this weather app. It’s too bad it was once my favorite app.
  22. [R26] 1/5 · US Seriously: I got this app for tracking tornadoes. Turns out I can’t even do that without paying money. All it does is shows rain inaccurately. I would just use MyRadar which is wayyy better than this and has no ads.
  23. [R62] 2/5 · US Paywall: I don't want to pay to see hurricanes
  24. [R65] 3/5 · US Revenue: If holding out the real time radar, for a premium membership, I’m not in favor.
  25. [R15] 1/5 · US App does not work: Cannot set a location to get any sort of forecast. Neither “use my location” nor typing in the location works, only a blank screen results. Also, upon first opening the app, there was no way to get past the subscription screen to access a free or trial version, though force-quitting and restarting the app did provide access.
  26. [R18] 1/5 · US This app sucks!: I wish I could give it zero! I can’t change my location, I can’t get forecasts. I paid for a subscription- I can’t get a hold of the idiots who created the site, when you push send to contact them, poof, it disappears, just like my trust for this useless product. If l see a charge, I will stop payment!
  27. [R20] 1/5 · US Don’t waste your money: I paid for the premium subscription and the app will not recognize my city. It always says no data available.
  28. [R55] 1/5 · US Spam: The app spams with old deleted location forecasts.
  29. [R10] 3/5 · US Can’t find the forecast: I can’t figure it how to get the forecast?? Help! App support asks if I want a job
  30. [R41] 4/5 · US Alarms please!: It’s fine at giving me the weather - but how am I supposed to keep checking in - to see if there indeed will be a tornado! I would much prefer having some sort of alarm that would sound - like my phone does when there is an Amber Alert
  31. [R54] 1/5 · US No legend: No explanation of anything. Tapped exclamation mark and grey area popped up on map. No idea what “!” is indicating nor what the grey means. Is it smoke? Is it visibility? Who knows.
  32. [R63] 1/5 · US Map is not clear: Map is not definitive and clear. Tracking of storms on map is only a very short period of time. I would expect it and be more comfortable with ten hours projection.
  33. [R27] 1/5 · US No Support: My app started leaving red and purple pins in random places around the world. There is no way to remove them and ZERO customer support. When I pay money for a product I expect at least one person to work at the company that is taking my money.
  34. [R31] 1/5 · US If I could give less than 1 rating, I seriously would.: I tried the App and realize that it was not for me so I cancelled the App but now I am seeing that you are still charging me $9.99 a month for one year. This is a total scam, why should I have to pay $120 for 1 year of service that I do not want and does absolutely nothing for me. You send out alert notifications for my location but when you
  35. [R11] 3/5 · US New phone: I purchased a iPhone 17 and storm tracker seems to have forgotten that I paid for a year.
