StormTrack 5

I have always loved this app, but the recent update has made it less lovable. There is extra clutter on the screen, and if I switch to a different view the app no longer remembers my custom settings and I have to select my custom map again. Surely you could have added the 24 hour future radar without our having to save and select our “custom map.” I liked it much better when it just saved my last selections automatically. Also, the earthquake feature now seems to only show very recent earthquakes instead of showing those from the past 24 hours, and when I tap on an earthquake icon to get more information it no longer tells the location. I wish you would do a new update that starts with the previous version and just adds the “24 hour future” radar. If you can’t do that, just give us the previous version the way it used to be, with the full earthquake information and without all the current clutter.

I recommend this app to anyone I meet. I’ve lived all over the U.S. and this app has been to most accurate out of any other app I’ve used. However, whoever is in charge of the Cleveland Ohio area needs to be replaced. Any times there’s snow I only get “less than 1 inch” or “__% chance of snow”. Well, the “less and 1 inch” we were supposed to get yesterday turned out to actually be 10-12 inch. Now, I know meteorologists can be wrong all the time, except our local channels have been predicting the weather pretty accurately. The channel I’ve been checking in with said this storm was supposed to be 6-8 inches. Still less than we got, but 6-8 inches is something to prepare for unlike less than 1 inch. Unfortunately I’ll be looking for a new app to trust with my weather predicting needs while I’m here in Ohio.

I’ve had this app for years. Whenever I travel it goes there too! My location list tracks the weather in Ireland, Scotland, the next town down the road. It’s improved my geographical knowledge no end! It’s easy to use and is rarely inaccurate, but that’s more to do with that 15% of rain actually fooling us all! I hang out my laundry to dry, so it’s an essential resource for tracking “good drying” days. I recommend this app for the sheer sense of connectedness it’ll bring you to the rest of our planet, because we all have the weather to keep an eye on!
