App name
global storms
Description
global storms provides the latest severe weather information including:
- hurricanes, typhoons and tropical storms in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans
- worldwide animated satellite views
- the latest worldwide marine information
- the ultraviolet index
- US mainland storms, including the latest tornado and severe thunderstorm alerts
- animated radar for the US
- animated US forecast chart
- global climate imagery
- space weather
Information in the app is courtesy of various open government sources as indicated in each section.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
There is an auto-renewing subscription option within the app to track worldwide tropical cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes and other global weather hazards, and comprehensive ocean conditions forecasts for the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Development of global storms is funded in part by ads, which can be removed by selecting the monthly auto-renewing subscription option "Remove Ads" from the app's settings menu. Removing ads also provides access to other premium content and features.
The subscription price of 0.99 USD (in your local currency) will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and, for each renewal, within 24 hours prior to the end of the current month.
You can cancel the subscription at any time through your iTunes account settings, but you must do so at least 24 hours before the end of the current month to avoid being charged, and ads will show again at the start of the subsequent month.

“Cup of Coffee Per Month”
by Seattle Rex on 2020/12/28 07:03
Dev, It’s difficult times for everyone, not just you ... and taking an app that people already paid for and replacing it with an app that costs less than “a cup of coffee per month” is also known in more developed parts of the world as “fraud”.
The fact is, we can all come up with reasons other people should give us money. I have four kids, one has specific needs and expenses, and I have to pay rent every month, so not taking away something I already paid for is the the only decent thing to do. But you don’t care. Only you have expenses.
Billions upon billions upon billions were made in software before subscriptions raised their ugly head. Subscriptions are for the lazy and uncreative... not to mention, those not confident that they will offer much value going forward.
Those with ideas know there is income in their future , and have no need to ride subscription fees on an app that for 30 years would have been a single purchase.
Apple promised you that the cow would keep giving milk, though, all you had to do was defraud current customers and the spoils were yours.
And to justify it, you came up with some “cups of coffee” nonesense. Subscribe to everything you own, and no matter how many cups of coffee each one costs, you’ll be in trouble.
Why don’t you send me $3 month just to be a decent guy? Gosh, what’s the problem, It’s less than a sack of horse manure each month!
Not to mention, subscribing to someone who has already defrauded you is not something that’s going to appeal to many. Regardless of how many “cups of coffee” one buys.
FULL PAGE ADS = DELETE
by Allen Lieberman on 2020/10/22 22:27
Developer apparently does not use their own app. Ads with sounds??? Forget this. Content not worth the price of removing ads. Image quality very LOW resolution.
Don’t bother supporting app developers that ram full page ads down your throat. Especially when there are tons of other apps that provide same information at better quality than what you find here.
Don’t trust this website!
by Jadae592 on 2020/09/12 14:18
I was trying to access this website, right?I can’t even access it!All it does is asks me for my location!This app is such a scam!There are much better apps for locating storms.
Very poor lately.
by alohajody on 2020/08/19 03:27
Very few updates the last few days ... right when we need them!! With future Laura and Marco on the way. What seems to be the problem?
Used to be great...terrible now
by Empennage17 on 2020/08/03 16:51
Provides good info, IF you can get past the full page ads. Even after closing the ads, they pop up multiple times before I can get any actual info from the app. Time for me to delete this...
Full page ads
by Keylargo52 on 2020/08/02 15:55
I have this on my Kindle and loved it. On my iPad it has full page political and other ads before I can use it. Too bad. I will be deleting it.
Sellout !!!
by jm3rox182 on 2020/08/01 18:13
Used to be a great app.
Now just jumps to advertisements and you can’t bypass. Went from first to worst.
Now useless
by TineastTN on 2020/07/31 21:47
This app is now useless. O never get past the ad. I have used this app for several years and loved it. It has ads but that was fine until today when the ad would never go away. I don’t need an app that does nothing but show me a Lending Tree ad over and over again!
7/31 - problem was corrected but has not stayed corrected. In the middle of a hurricane come up the coast the Lending Tree ad once again will not go away.
Too many ads
by pskme on 2020/07/31 11:20
I have used this app for years and have loved it. However, recently there have been so many ads (mostly political these days) that interrupt the viewing of every page that it’s virtually impossible to use it.
Full page ads. Bad!
by sad 23 on 2020/07/31 00:51
Blocks everything. Will delete app
They are so greedy
by nononotoads on 2020/07/29 00:57
This app used to be great until they started forcing ads down your throat with no was to close them, skip them, or go away after a few seconds. You cannot use it when you need it the most, It’s amazing a company can get so greedy during these times, but Karma always prevails.
Pop up ads
by Mebfl on 2020/07/25 17:23
I use to go to this app all the time for hurricane info. Now Lending Tree pops up and no way to skip the ad. Annoying. But not any more, deleted.
YUCK
by jackson96753 on 2020/07/25 04:42
This app is teeming with offensive trump ads! Disgusting. Don’t even open it unless you want to see his orange self-satisfied clueless face.
Ads, ads, ads
by LoonyFF on 2020/07/23 15:57
Deleting this app right after writing this review. Ads that you cannot leave (e.g., Lending Tree). Ads that pop up while you’re doing nothing more than reading a report. Enough already.
Hijacked by ads
by Grouperhound on 2020/06/24 21:36
This was a great app until recently. It’s now unusable because of popup ads that prevent you from using it. A shame. It was good while it lasted.
Trump survey is end of app for me
by gursjov on 2020/06/22 15:03
Used to think this is a good app and if you live in the South it’s essential. I put up with the ads and games for years but now with the pro Trump survey dominating the app, it’s over and out for me. Yet another thing Trump has spoiled in the world. About to move to Mars!
Surveillance of Personal Device
by O'Shy's Irish Tap House, Largo on 2020/06/07 03:24
Disappointed in January 2020 when a pretty decent app decided to allow third party access by MULTIPLE big tech manipulators to ALL of subscribers personal information, eg ALL sites visited (not just this one), even when running in background. Outrageous! Thanks but no thanks.
Adds
by portbaymike on 2020/06/04 12:13
Looks like I need to try another app because it is to hard to make the add go away so I can use the app
Ads block content
by Screw it. Seriously. on 2020/06/03 18:26
I’ve used this app every year during hurricane season without complaint. Today when I used the app for the first time this year to check on Cristobal’s storm track, an app popped up. Fine. However, there was no way to close the app. Not fine. So now I have no advance warning on what could very well be the next Katrina because some predatory lender wants me to apply for a loan? When we say “capitalism kills”, crap like this is what we’re talking about.
No good
by Muno2 on 2020/06/03 06:27
Used to be good. They got greedy. Now, App no good. Doesn’t rate 1 star, but can’t take it away.
I don’t know why the bad comments it is not even that bad
by jjjjjjjjjjkkjkkjjhsisjszkzi on 2020/06/02 22:50
Yo these people are scammers this app isn’t even that bad I dont know what the bad comments are for
Don’t get
by evans516 on 2020/06/01 06:20
I have been using this app for years and I am going to delete it because it runs in the background always and the adds are to annoying. If you are paying for advertising on this app save your money and spend it elsewhere.
Ads
by Ouiser B. on 2020/05/27 13:23
This app used to be awesome (especially the hurricane tracker), even with ads...but now, when it’s opened, you are given the option to buy and go ad-free, or to continue with ads...only you are now inundated with ads. Every single time you go to a new screen, an ad pops up and there’s no way to close it....EVERY. TIME. So you wait 10-15 seconds for it to close on it’s own and/or give you the option to close the ad...nothing happens so you have to minimize the app and open it back up for it to move on to the next screen...nobody has time for that in a weather emergency. So much for the “option” to go ad-free...no thanks...<delete>
Horrible
by UD Guy on 2020/05/27 01:02
You can’t access the content because of the pop up ad that will NOT go away. Useless app.
Ads take over screen
by Deb 3 on 2020/05/26 13:52
Can’t use. Ads lock up screen.
GREAT APP
by Betsy32576 on 2020/05/17 16:33
This app is one of few best weather apps it tells you the points and I would get it BEST APP EVER
Used to be ok, now useless.
by Logic4pd on 2020/05/15 20:40
Asked about settings for location first (new this year) Theapp asked that I either the pay subscription fee or see ads. I selected ads... I then selected Atlantic basin and an ad comes up for lending tree.. Okay...but it never goes away and you can’t close it so the application is now useless. Tried multiple times. The app was only ok before but I used it for a number of years. Now going to delete. You sometimes wonder what the owners are thinking and if they even care. Done!
Usless due to ads
by samkov0202 on 2020/05/14 11:08
What happened to the app? I know we are in times that many people and companies desperately need money, but now every time I click any item, an ad pops up. The annoying thing is that it doesn’t go away AND there is no “x” or “skip” to exit the ad. I think that’s ilegal, btw.
I end up giving up and closing the app. I look for information somewhere else.
Frustrating - Stuck on ads
by AkGuyBlmx-17 on 2020/05/11 20:24
Add will pop up on free version. Will not let you go back. Havta get out and start over. Free version not worth it, and don’t think the paid will be worth it based on limited review of the free version.
Irritating
by Flept on 2020/05/11 19:38
This app requires that you give permission for ads to see anything on the app. That’s ridiculous for a public service app! You can kiss my grits!
Most irritating ads ever
by Episcoravian on 2020/05/03 12:18
Not only do ads irrelevant to my circumstances pop up when I open the app, there appears to be no way to get past the ad so I can access the weather information I seek. Lending Tree can go to hell, along with this app.
Almost killed me
by Doodle sis on 2020/04/16 17:05
I now HATE this app. At first it gave me the options to “never use your location” “only use your location while using this app” “ always use your location” well I chose the second one, but then it said saving your location, then it said this app will always use my location. The app actually works fine, it is 💯 garenteed to be right! 😁 However a week later someone hacked my account then found my location while I was reading a book. It is not a reliable app and I do not recommend it no matter what! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😦😦😦😦😦👿👿👿👿👿😾😾😾😾😾😾👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Global nonsense
by Upside toe on 2020/02/20 17:41
I love this app
how blessed are we to have such technology,
I only believe in science (on Earth)
And Jesus through eternity!
Creation is utterly amazing
Ads ads everywhere an ad
by finfan00013 on 2020/01/22 20:28
Used to be great but sold out to ads and I don’t mind 1 but it is horrible now
Weather on point
by Z- hex on 2020/01/01 21:08
This app has been helping me observe all the things I need and more. It’s my favorite
Waaaay too many pop up ads now! Don’t bother
by 32809667 on 2019/12/20 00:06
I liked the app at first but now there’s a pop up ad every time I change a view. AND the x on the close feature has to be tapped multiple times to get rid of the ad. I decided their greed for ad revenue was not worth my frustration. Deleted it.
Unstable and questionably accurate if that
by JCwired on 2019/12/08 20:48
After using this one for years I have found that the categorizing of images which are FREE from NOAA are not consistent with what images cover what regions.
It is not uncommon for the app to crash then you have to restart the app yet again which is more than an annoyance. Recently they wanted to start charging users for what they are providing which is a joke.
Ads galore
by Topherar on 2019/09/24 13:44
Too many ads at beginning that delay seeing info.
Drained phone 20% while not in use, won’t let me turn it off
by BobbyTheGamer on 2019/09/24 11:45
This app has decided it wants to run 24/7 in the background. Tried to turn off location services, and it won’t let me. So basically the app hijacks the phone. 22 hr 30 min of the last 24 hours in screen time shows this app was running. I haven’t intentionally used this app in months.
Adds subscription is bugging
by Can all names be taken? on 2019/09/20 20:17
Stop the advertising
Atlantic disturbances
by richbsolo on 2019/09/14 15:27
Very informative, very accurate always allow you to get prepared if necessary . Having this information is a must this time of year. Thanks to everyone at noaa.
Beware
by Dizky on 2019/09/10 12:16
Advertising is politically biased. I’m not sure this app is American based. I deleted it.
Politics ads
by Sue4566 on 2019/09/04 21:37
The app itself is interesting, but every time I open it I’m getting an ad asking for me to support immigration crackdowns and “don’t tread on me” symbols. Maybe it’s just a paying advertiser, or maybe it’s the developer pushing they’re agenda, but I’m not interested in supporting that.
WAY TO INVASIVE ADS
by He-Who-Hates-Annoying-Ads on 2019/09/03 12:31
Over time the ads get progressively “pushy”— first easy to dismiss, then taking over screen, then taking over screen with sound. Then it wasn’t, easy to see how to dismiss them. I felt like I was being harassed into paying to get rid of them. I do pay for many of the apps I use, but this is not an app I need. So they annoyed me into deleting it.
Ads
by Master-trader on 2019/09/02 04:01
I haven’t been able to enjoy app yet, still fighting with the ads
Are you kidding me
by JHawk8 on 2019/09/02 00:07
I’m in Florida, trying to get info from this app and each time it takes me to a advertisement video. Really...a Cat5 coming in and you use advertisement instead of the life saving info we need. Bye
Extremely poor
by Jeanne-d-Arc on 2019/09/01 23:31
This app tries to force you to pay to remove ads even if you don’t mind ads by removing features as well.
The app maker should simply not offer a free version if what they actually intend is a paid version. I resent the strong arm tactics to pretend that they offer a free version when in fact all they want to do is threaten you with removal of features if you don’t pay “to remove ads.”
What they mean is that it is a trial version of a paid app and not a free app.
They should say what they mean instead of pretending otherwise. Being straightforward is more impressive to me than lying.
So I am going to delete this app. It doesn’t do anything I can’t get from another app anyway.
Response
by Susie Boca on 2019/08/31 07:15
Really liked the graphics back during Wilma. Having a hard time finding the storms off Africa that eventually effect us in Boca/SFL. Can see some coming, but can no longer predict. I predicted Wilma hitting Boca 2 weeks out. Zero training....just 30 years plus watching path off Africa and impact on SFL.
Worst weather site...ads...ads...ads. Terrible
by Slivman01 on 2019/08/30 13:04
Please fix the amount of time ads pop up. I’m no longer going to use this app. I can handle ads, but not this many
Not happy!
by jamimp on 2019/08/29 22:18
Not getting any reports or discussions anymore. Not happy. They were so beneficial
TOO MANY ADS!!!!!!!
by jswin1 on 2019/08/29 10:17
Stop with all the freaking ads!!!!!!
Down with ACCU Weather
by Valinor2 on 2019/08/28 23:23
May it burn and crash a fiery death and NOAA NWS triumph and reign supreme!
Excelente app.
by Acobes on 2019/08/28 21:45
Excelente app. Tiene toda la información necesaria para tomar decisiones en casos de emergencias naturales.
NUMBER ONE WEATHER APP
by Donald1951 on 2019/08/27 18:12
Simply the first app, out of many, that truly impressed me. All the information you will ever need.
MUST HAVE!!!!
Clunky Interface
by meredith0 on 2019/08/26 15:35
Also, advert in your face at opening.
Ads on a paid app! 👎🏻
by etropsis on 2019/08/24 16:39
I purchased this app when it was called NOAA NOW. I guess it’s been bought out, because now it is back to multiple ads that play until they time out. Very disappointed that I’m forced to watch ads now on a paid app or else pay a monthly fee. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
My opinion!
by Hawken Rifleman 055 on 2019/08/16 15:42
Continuously fighting ads trying to use app.
Ads galore
by nic0513 on 2019/08/03 02:46
Easier to check the weather on google.
Excellent but occasionally difficult to find items of interest
by Fabian3sg on 2019/07/11 01:24
All info is there. Including maps etc. but occasionally I cannot navigate easily. Not intuitive enough. Otherwise I’d give it 5 stars.
Hawaii is Not a US State
by ReconMarine911 on 2019/06/05 12:03
Apparently, NOAA does not know that Hawaii is the 50th State and therefore is not recognized anymore! I originally downloaded this app it still had Hawaii on it but NO, not anymore! Don’t waste your time with this app!
Noaa weather
by Port Capt. Pat on 2019/05/07 17:43
Thank you. Your the best out there. Port Capt. Pat
Won’t update
by T< on 2019/05/06 15:47
Been trying to update app for two days now!
**AVOID ITS A SCAM**
by TrueReview12 on 2019/04/26 04:07
**Update**
CS refuses to respond to emails. Stay away from any of this companies apps.
They just want your money. Do not subscribe to anything or turn on location services or notifications. This new company has now started scamming people for information that’s available on NOAA website. The previous owner of NOAA Now used to have a $9.99 fully functional app called NOAA now pro. They discontinued the paid version so that they can make more money by charging a reoccurring monthly fee to remove the bloat ware that they added to the free app.
Don’t support these companies that offer a paid full version then take it away and only offer a subscription to get rid of the rubbish. Don’t download it even though it’s free because you’re only going to encourage other app developers with paid apps to do the same.
That’s how in app purchases and games that only require a data connection started. Don’t help them start another disaster!!
not impressed
by done w/names on 2019/04/19 16:38
Set this up for my area—SE—and it would only show Pacific, not Atlantic side or anywhere close to where I live. I did press “allow location while using” and still would not pick it up.
Review on this app
by donnamo05 on 2019/04/12 04:15
I just installed without reading the comments first!!!! I’m getting out of the App Store right now and definitely going to uninstall this app because the most recent message said that although they had it where the app could use their location while they were using the app(the app actually kept keeping up with their location) BEWARE!!! I should have known better! I’ve got into all kinds of trouble for not reading the comments before buying but I never thought to look at the comments on a free app before installing!
Crashes!
by Aomer71 on 2019/01/11 21:58
App keeps crashing when I pull up weather maps, even after deleting and reinstalling
NOAA
by hahammami on 2018/12/15 15:34
Do not commercialize NOAA INFORMATION
This is a public service. Paid for with my taxes .
Facebook link out again
by Wco318 on 2018/12/14 00:18
Why is it every time they Update this app the Facebook link goes dead. Very frustrating.
Good stuff
by nonraf on 2018/12/01 18:55
Love the clarity and selection of maps.
A must have
by Ya tu sabes, oye on 2018/11/24 12:34
Annoying ads but the best (and official) hurricane updates
Don’t waste your time
by Jonathan kuess on 2018/11/03 01:40
Ok to start off this is not going to be a long review but. First off it kills your battery and never uses your location it’s junk
App ok but too many google ads
by argyle on 2018/10/25 11:38
The app works well once you get through the google ads on the front page and before you open any inner pages. Not appreciated on a weather app.
NOAA Now
by 2018C65 on 2018/10/08 17:13
Too many adds that require waits to clear.
Don’t waste your time
by pcb Hurricane tracker on 2018/10/08 16:41
This app is worthless. It just takes you to a bunch of advertisements
Ad would not stop
by PirateBubba on 2018/09/30 20:24
I could never get content because the ad kept on popping up.
Stupid ads
by Dolardude1 on 2018/09/29 00:39
Just about to delete this app
Terrible app
by Tangier14 on 2018/09/25 21:56
This is not from NOAA but from a 3rd party. Continual ads that are almost impossible to close. Can get info directly from the NOAA site. This is a waste of time and a very frustrating app. Would give it zero stars if I could.
Cost
by LHW012345678910 on 2018/09/25 19:28
App is good but not worth price weekly better apps for free
What gives?
by 1bdp on 2018/09/22 12:39
App worked fine yesterday now all I get is a “menu” what gives?
This app is NOT from NOAA!!!
by TrrblSwftSwd on 2018/09/17 16:33
All you get are ads every time you try to use it. A complete ripoff. Stay away!!!!
Disruptive ads
by weatherator on 2018/09/15 15:34
I was trying to obtain information on tropical storm Florence and all I could get was interference by descriptive stupid commercials. I eventually stop try and deleted the application
great information
by Captain Kev Dog on 2018/09/15 15:02
I live and have a boat in an hurricane area, so great to be able to check quickly on potential hurricane issues. Truly a wonderful resource!!!!
Not worth the ads
by TanquerayTom on 2018/09/15 01:57
So so info with teams of intrusive sds

Excellent reviews, always. Thank you!
by Italo Mario Siervo on 2018/09/13 07:12
We usually check your advisories as soon as a storm is near.
Whatz up
by Crashski on 2018/09/13 05:11
Granted, I may be doing something wrong but I don’t see any updates on hurricane’s I see pictures only.
Not legitimate.
by Pfftwhatev on 2018/09/12 16:27
Third party scraping weather data from NOAA.
Very disappointed
by jabilello on 2018/09/12 15:39
I was looking for NOAA hurricane information.. projected track, wind speed probabilities, etc that you find on the NOAA Hurricane Center web page.. so, all the pretty pictures they have in their ad just are not available in this app... only gives satellite images (which are pretty, but not very informative), and the text updates that are releases 4x per day (they are informative, but a lot of info to sift through).. there is other information , but hurricane info is very limited.. so disappointed..
Very glitchy
by Wynn621 on 2018/09/12 12:21
Don’t download, this is a very glitchy app. Doesn’t add any content. Just go to the NOAA website.
Cannot read your updates because of all the ad interruptions
by Diheedral on 2018/09/11 14:01

Exceptional graphics!
by mo weathergirl on 2018/09/11 13:09
Adds are a pain when you just want a quick peak.
Climate Change
by Jim the Kiwi on 2018/09/11 12:20
Though I readily agree that massive global fossil fuel use will have an effect I find that the smug statements of empirical fact that are presented as certainty without bothering to be intellectually honest and discuss the full range of data are repulsive and likely will cause pushback
If the people running NOAA preserve their credibility they would achieve more
Clumsy app; too many full page popup ads
by badkitty_ on 2018/09/11 12:13
First, the information is clumsily spread out over multiple pages. There is no one central page that will show you all hurricane activity in the Atlantic, for example.
Second, while navigating from one submenu to another, you will be greeted with multiple full page popup ads unsolicited.You don’t get to choose for the ads to stay at the bottom of the screen. They open unannounced and take over the screen.
Third, once you are in one of the submenus, good luck getting back to the main page.The app is very clumsy in design and had no “at a glance” feature.
It is okay if you are desperate but you will get more info and less ads by just visiting NOAA’s website in your browser.
Not as expected

No radar, Need better maps and to many pop up adds

More advertisements than weather do not bother its crap. I would like to give it no stars or negative stars would be better off

Ads ads ads
by tyeuyft on 2018/09/10 16:31
You can’t even open a window without game ads popping up. I got a different hurricane ap for free with no ads. Not easy to navigate either.
Just the facts !!!
by jdfana on 2017/09/10 02:36
With this program you can check the weather any where in the world. It works almost instantaneously to give you either a written statement of the weather or you can look at the pretty pictures . Either way you get the latest update available for any where in the world.
Disengenuous - beware
by Gcoost on 2017/12/06 00:46
I was astonished to find that the app does NOT follow its own settings...when you first set it up, you are given three choices as a setting:
(1) Never use your location
(2) Use your location only while using app
(3) Always use your location
Well, I chose (2), because I thought it only fair that an application might need your location info while you are using it, so that it runs more efficiently or better, etc.
However, after I left the application - stopping it, I noticed that I still have a banner running at the top of my screen which says,”NOAA Now is Actively Using Your Location.
I went to the website to the privacy information located at the bottom of the page, and was informed that the company that runs and oh AAA now does not knowingly pass your personal information on to anyone. That being said, if that is the case then why does it need to run in the background, even when you have left the application and closed it? Because what it is telling you is not actually what it does. For that reason I am uninstalling this application and sending a notice to the Better Business Bureau about the company’s misrepresentation of its product.
Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware (even though this application version it’s free)
Ads
by Ouiser B. on 2020/05/27 13:23
This app used to be awesome (especially the hurricane tracker), even with ads...but now, when it’s opened, you are given the option to buy and go ad-free, or to continue with ads...only you are now inundated with ads. Every single time you go to a new screen, an ad pops up and there’s no way to close it....EVERY. TIME. So you wait 10-15 seconds for it to close on it’s own and/or give you the option to close the ad...nothing happens so you have to minimize the app and open it back up for it to move on to the next screen...nobody has time for that in a weather emergency. So much for the “option” to go ad-free...no thanks...<delete>
**AVOID ITS A SCAM**
by TrueReview12 on 2019/04/26 04:07
**Update**
CS refuses to respond to emails. Stay away from any of this companies apps.
They just want your money. Do not subscribe to anything or turn on location services or notifications. This new company has now started scamming people for information that’s available on NOAA website. The previous owner of NOAA Now used to have a $9.99 fully functional app called NOAA now pro. They discontinued the paid version so that they can make more money by charging a reoccurring monthly fee to remove the bloat ware that they added to the free app.
Don’t support these companies that offer a paid full version then take it away and only offer a subscription to get rid of the rubbish. Don’t download it even though it’s free because you’re only going to encourage other app developers with paid apps to do the same.
That’s how in app purchases and games that only require a data connection started. Don’t help them start another disaster!!
Almost killed me
by Doodle sis on 2020/04/16 17:05
I now HATE this app. At first it gave me the options to “never use your location” “only use your location while using this app” “ always use your location” well I chose the second one, but then it said saving your location, then it said this app will always use my location. The app actually works fine, it is 💯 garenteed to be right! 😁 However a week later someone hacked my account then found my location while I was reading a book. It is not a reliable app and I do not recommend it no matter what! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😦😦😦😦😦👿👿👿👿👿😾😾😾😾😾😾👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Really liked the graphics back during Wilma. Having a hard time finding the storms off Africa that eventually effect us in Boca/SFL. Can see some coming, but can no longer predict. I predicted Wilma hitting Boca 2 weeks out. Zero training....just 30 years plus watching path off Africa and impact on SFL.
Highly Recommended
by Cnh99 on 2017/09/09 02:49
It's a great informative and scientifically oriented medium of delivering weather updates.
Only quirk would be each time you leave the app it closes what you were last reading and you have to go back and find it. Possibly adding a little notification pop up on the side saying how many new posts have been added since the post you began reading.
Review on this app
by donnamo05 on 2019/04/12 04:15
I just installed without reading the comments first!!!! I’m getting out of the App Store right now and definitely going to uninstall this app because the most recent message said that although they had it where the app could use their location while they were using the app(the app actually kept keeping up with their location) BEWARE!!! I should have known better! I’ve got into all kinds of trouble for not reading the comments before buying but I never thought to look at the comments on a free app before installing!
Very disappointed
by jabilello on 2018/09/12 15:39
I was looking for NOAA hurricane information.. projected track, wind speed probabilities, etc that you find on the NOAA Hurricane Center web page.. so, all the pretty pictures they have in their ad just are not available in this app... only gives satellite images (which are pretty, but not very informative), and the text updates that are releases 4x per day (they are informative, but a lot of info to sift through).. there is other information , but hurricane info is very limited.. so disappointed..
L O V E this app . . .
by halb2524 on 2018/05/21 00:12
It is a safety item. Every time there is a weather or related watch, warning or whatever -- it shows up here. All of the information shows up. There are the complete NOAA texts, maps, references to addit'l info, if it exists, anything else relevant.
I think I have 20 (+/-) weather apps between the iPad and iPhone. They change from time to time, depending on the app development, seasons, etc. But this app hasn't been deleted yet.
The app is especially relevant during severe weather season here in the Midwest for tornadoes, hail, thunderstorms, flooding.
Simple and relevant. Good.
Used to be ok, now useless.
by Logic4pd on 2020/05/15 20:40
Asked about settings for location first (new this year) Theapp asked that I either the pay subscription fee or see ads. I selected ads... I then selected Atlantic basin and an ad comes up for lending tree.. Okay...but it never goes away and you can’t close it so the application is now useless. Tried multiple times. The app was only ok before but I used it for a number of years. Now going to delete. You sometimes wonder what the owners are thinking and if they even care. Done!
Ads block content
by Screw it. Seriously. on 2020/06/03 18:26
I’ve used this app every year during hurricane season without complaint. Today when I used the app for the first time this year to check on Cristobal’s storm track, an app popped up. Fine. However, there was no way to close the app. Not fine. So now I have no advance warning on what could very well be the next Katrina because some predatory lender wants me to apply for a loan? When we say “capitalism kills”, crap like this is what we’re talking about.

The information provided on the above subject is crucial to my family and myself.
My family lives along the Jersey shore and I visit them frequently.
Thank you for such updated information.
Changed
by Bud1058 on 2018/08/21 07:21
Originally this app had local radar, then after a short time, it was stopped, there are many pop up ads to deal with that cover the whole screen and you have to wait the time period with each one. Now it pops up with an ad for their new weather app which has weather radar. I won't get anything else from them, it's a bait and switch.
Now useless
by TineastTN on 2020/07/31 21:47
This app is now useless. O never get past the ad. I have used this app for several years and loved it. It has ads but that was fine until today when the ad would never go away. I don’t need an app that does nothing but show me a Lending Tree ad over and over again!
7/31 - problem was corrected but has not stayed corrected. In the middle of a hurricane come up the coast the Lending Tree ad once again will not go away.
Amazing and accurate
by DKN01 on 2017/09/12 16:55
This was the most useful weather app during Hurricane Irma! Was able to advise loved ones and friends of her path and about when to expect it to start and finish.

by richbsolo on 2019/09/14 15:27
Very informative, very accurate always allow you to get prepared if necessary . Having this information is a must this time of year. Thanks to everyone at noaa.
Extremely poor
by Jeanne-d-Arc on 2019/09/01 23:31
This app tries to force you to pay to remove ads even if you don’t mind ads by removing features as well.
The app maker should simply not offer a free version if what they actually intend is a paid version. I resent the strong arm tactics to pretend that they offer a free version when in fact all they want to do is threaten you with removal of features if you don’t pay “to remove ads.”
What they mean is that it is a trial version of a paid app and not a free app.
They should say what they mean instead of pretending otherwise. Being straightforward is more impressive to me than lying.
So I am going to delete this app. It doesn’t do anything I can’t get from another app anyway.
Excellent but occasionally difficult to find items of interest
by Fabian3sg on 2019/07/11 01:24
All info is there. Including maps etc. but occasionally I cannot navigate easily. Not intuitive enough. Otherwise I’d give it 5 stars.
FULL PAGE ADS = DELETE
by Allen Lieberman on 2020/10/22 22:27
Developer apparently does not use their own app. Ads with sounds??? Forget this. Content not worth the price of removing ads. Image quality very LOW resolution.
Don’t bother supporting app developers that ram full page ads down your throat. Especially when there are tons of other apps that provide same information at better quality than what you find here.
great information
by Captain Kev Dog on 2018/09/15 15:02
I live and have a boat in an hurricane area, so great to be able to check quickly on potential hurricane issues. Truly a wonderful resource!!!!
Unstable and questionably accurate if that
by JCwired on 2019/12/08 20:48
After using this one for years I have found that the categorizing of images which are FREE from NOAA are not consistent with what images cover what regions.
It is not uncommon for the app to crash then you have to restart the app yet again which is more than an annoyance. Recently they wanted to start charging users for what they are providing which is a joke.
I like to see what's going on in Fl. and no one gets killed.

I like to see what's going on in Florida because my bothers are down there. I just wish everyone good luck and hope no one gets killed.

Best info out there!
by friendlySons63 on 2017/09/06 14:09
The information you get from all your maps are incredible. I lived on the water and NOAA has never steered me wrong. Having this information is a life saver! God bless your pilots.
I don’t know why the bad comments it is not even that bad
by jjjjjjjjjjkkjkkjjhsisjszkzi on 2020/06/02 22:50
Yo these people are scammers this app isn’t even that bad I dont know what the bad comments are for
Now Is Useless so I Deleted It
by Mick Gator Fan on 2018/03/09 06:49
Used to be great with useful content. They started removing the most useful features a while ago. Now they've added pop-up ads when you select something. After you close the ad, you get one of the following errors:
-Request timed out;
-Site not found on server;
-Cannot download image.
So, I deleted the app. At least I could still do that.
Usless due to ads
by samkov0202 on 2020/05/14 11:08
What happened to the app? I know we are in times that many people and companies desperately need money, but now every time I click any item, an ad pops up. The annoying thing is that it doesn’t go away AND there is no “x” or “skip” to exit the ad. I think that’s ilegal, btw.
I end up giving up and closing the app. I look for information somewhere else.
Drained phone 20% while not in use, won’t let me turn it off
by BobbyTheGamer on 2019/09/24 11:45
This app has decided it wants to run 24/7 in the background. Tried to turn off location services, and it won’t let me. So basically the app hijacks the phone. 22 hr 30 min of the last 24 hours in screen time shows this app was running. I haven’t intentionally used this app in months.
Nope! Now.
by Catfish1112 on 2018/09/09 03:36
Nope. Uh-uh. Won’t recommend. We currently have a potential Cat 4 hurricane bearing and I can’t navigate past ads for Final Fantasy and some tiki monkey junk. App is phenomenal if you wanna know if it’ll snow on Christmas Day, but if you life depends on it. Heck, I’ll stick with the local meteorologists. I gave a second star for that time years ago when I could depend on NOAA.
Hate ads with sound
by Janice_E on 2018/07/27 09:37
I used to really like this app and was willing to put up with the ads at the bottom. But in the last couple of days, when I open the app, a loud, raucous ad covers the page and I have to quickly close the app to avoid waking up anyone in the house or jarring my ears. I'll just go to the NHC from now on. I'm sorry they made this change.
NHC
by Octaneman on 2018/09/10 15:00
Great data. Would be nice to separate the graphics from the text somewhat as lay person more interested in graphics.

Clunky and dated page design
by PJC57 on 2018/09/10 07:18
No flow to this app. Not intuitive. Every time the site is opened, the user has to read the entire page to process next click to get to data. Once finally there, information is very good though. Respectfully, a definite “re-do” is needed.
Storm preparedness
by Mikeyboy101 on 2017/09/10 18:51
I tend to trust NOAA more than any other source of information, The different categories and easy to understand graphics are awesome!!

WAY TO INVASIVE ADS
by He-Who-Hates-Annoying-Ads on 2019/09/03 12:31
Over time the ads get progressively “pushy”— first easy to dismiss, then taking over screen, then taking over screen with sound. Then it wasn’t, easy to see how to dismiss them. I felt like I was being harassed into paying to get rid of them. I do pay for many of the apps I use, but this is not an app I need. So they annoyed me into deleting it.
Climate Change
by Jim the Kiwi on 2018/09/11 12:20
Though I readily agree that massive global fossil fuel use will have an effect I find that the smug statements of empirical fact that are presented as certainty without bothering to be intellectually honest and discuss the full range of data are repulsive and likely will cause pushback
If the people running NOAA preserve their credibility they would achieve more
Excellent reviews, always. Thank you!
by Italo Mario Siervo on 2018/09/13 07:12
We usually check your advisories as soon as a storm is near.
Too many ads
by pskme on 2020/07/31 11:20
I have used this app for years and have loved it. However, recently there have been so many ads (mostly political these days) that interrupt the viewing of every page that it’s virtually impossible to use it.
App ok but too many google ads
by argyle on 2018/10/25 11:38
The app works well once you get through the google ads on the front page and before you open any inner pages. Not appreciated on a weather app.
They are so greedy
by nononotoads on 2020/07/29 00:57
This app used to be great until they started forcing ads down your throat with no was to close them, skip them, or go away after a few seconds. You cannot use it when you need it the most, It’s amazing a company can get so greedy during these times, but Karma always prevails.

Valon C.Forbes (NOAA) review
by vfc19631 on 2018/09/08 17:28
NOAA weather alerts, and forecast, are very helpful, and it keeps you updated on the latest tropical cyclone, winter advisory, or any inclement weather systems, to help keep you safe.
Ads do not need to be on this app!
by Palmetto Swamp Fox on 2018/09/08 20:10
When such an important app which provides info regarding major storms, it is in poor taste to have long ads or even video game ads that last sixty seconds or greater. Especially when you are trying to get current info. This one is getting deleted!
One ⭐️😡😡😡
Love it!
by Dblshrp on 2017/09/11 19:50
I always use the NOAA app. I use the satellite views often and go to it for severe weather updates. I trust NOAA more than the weather channel.
Waaaay too many pop up ads now! Don’t bother
by 32809667 on 2019/12/20 00:06
I liked the app at first but now there’s a pop up ad every time I change a view. AND the x on the close feature has to be tapped multiple times to get rid of the ad. I decided their greed for ad revenue was not worth my frustration. Deleted it.
Ads RUIN it
by CaliBirds on 2018/09/03 12:52
They have video adds that take over you’re whole screen just for toggling through the app. NOAA is a government agency that we pay our tax dollars for. We shouldn’t have to give any more money to access this information without invasive ads and respect to our time. I’m deleting this crap.

App name
global storms
Description
global storms provides the latest severe weather information including:
- hurricanes, typhoons and tropical storms in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans
- worldwide animated satellite views
- the latest worldwide marine information
- the ultraviolet index
- US mainland storms, including the latest tornado and severe thunderstorm alerts
- animated radar for the US
- animated US forecast chart
- global climate imagery
- space weather
Information in the app is courtesy of various open government sources as indicated in each section.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
There is an auto-renewing subscription option within the app to track worldwide tropical cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes and other global weather hazards, and comprehensive ocean conditions forecasts for the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Development of global storms is funded in part by ads, which can be removed by selecting the monthly auto-renewing subscription option "Remove Ads" from the app's settings menu. Removing ads also provides access to other premium content and features.
The subscription price of 0.99 USD (in your local currency) will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and, for each renewal, within 24 hours prior to the end of the current month.
You can cancel the subscription at any time through your iTunes account settings, but you must do so at least 24 hours before the end of the current month to avoid being charged, and ads will show again at the start of the subsequent month.

“Cup of Coffee Per Month”
by Seattle Rex on 2020/12/28 07:03
Dev, It’s difficult times for everyone, not just you ... and taking an app that people already paid for and replacing it with an app that costs less than “a cup of coffee per month” is also known in more developed parts of the world as “fraud”.
The fact is, we can all come up with reasons other people should give us money. I have four kids, one has specific needs and expenses, and I have to pay rent every month, so not taking away something I already paid for is the the only decent thing to do. But you don’t care. Only you have expenses.
Billions upon billions upon billions were made in software before subscriptions raised their ugly head. Subscriptions are for the lazy and uncreative... not to mention, those not confident that they will offer much value going forward.
Those with ideas know there is income in their future , and have no need to ride subscription fees on an app that for 30 years would have been a single purchase.
Apple promised you that the cow would keep giving milk, though, all you had to do was defraud current customers and the spoils were yours.
And to justify it, you came up with some “cups of coffee” nonesense. Subscribe to everything you own, and no matter how many cups of coffee each one costs, you’ll be in trouble.
Why don’t you send me $3 month just to be a decent guy? Gosh, what’s the problem, It’s less than a sack of horse manure each month!
Not to mention, subscribing to someone who has already defrauded you is not something that’s going to appeal to many. Regardless of how many “cups of coffee” one buys.
FULL PAGE ADS = DELETE
by Allen Lieberman on 2020/10/22 22:27
Developer apparently does not use their own app. Ads with sounds??? Forget this. Content not worth the price of removing ads. Image quality very LOW resolution.
Don’t bother supporting app developers that ram full page ads down your throat. Especially when there are tons of other apps that provide same information at better quality than what you find here.
Don’t trust this website!
by Jadae592 on 2020/09/12 14:18
I was trying to access this website, right?I can’t even access it!All it does is asks me for my location!This app is such a scam!There are much better apps for locating storms.
Very poor lately.
by alohajody on 2020/08/19 03:27
Very few updates the last few days ... right when we need them!! With future Laura and Marco on the way. What seems to be the problem?
Used to be great...terrible now
by Empennage17 on 2020/08/03 16:51
Provides good info, IF you can get past the full page ads. Even after closing the ads, they pop up multiple times before I can get any actual info from the app. Time for me to delete this...
Full page ads
by Keylargo52 on 2020/08/02 15:55
I have this on my Kindle and loved it. On my iPad it has full page political and other ads before I can use it. Too bad. I will be deleting it.
Sellout !!!
by jm3rox182 on 2020/08/01 18:13
Used to be a great app.
Now just jumps to advertisements and you can’t bypass. Went from first to worst.
Now useless
by TineastTN on 2020/07/31 21:47
This app is now useless. O never get past the ad. I have used this app for several years and loved it. It has ads but that was fine until today when the ad would never go away. I don’t need an app that does nothing but show me a Lending Tree ad over and over again!
7/31 - problem was corrected but has not stayed corrected. In the middle of a hurricane come up the coast the Lending Tree ad once again will not go away.
Too many ads
by pskme on 2020/07/31 11:20
I have used this app for years and have loved it. However, recently there have been so many ads (mostly political these days) that interrupt the viewing of every page that it’s virtually impossible to use it.
Full page ads. Bad!
by sad 23 on 2020/07/31 00:51
Blocks everything. Will delete app
They are so greedy
by nononotoads on 2020/07/29 00:57
This app used to be great until they started forcing ads down your throat with no was to close them, skip them, or go away after a few seconds. You cannot use it when you need it the most, It’s amazing a company can get so greedy during these times, but Karma always prevails.
Pop up ads
by Mebfl on 2020/07/25 17:23
I use to go to this app all the time for hurricane info. Now Lending Tree pops up and no way to skip the ad. Annoying. But not any more, deleted.
YUCK
by jackson96753 on 2020/07/25 04:42
This app is teeming with offensive trump ads! Disgusting. Don’t even open it unless you want to see his orange self-satisfied clueless face.
Ads, ads, ads
by LoonyFF on 2020/07/23 15:57
Deleting this app right after writing this review. Ads that you cannot leave (e.g., Lending Tree). Ads that pop up while you’re doing nothing more than reading a report. Enough already.
Hijacked by ads
by Grouperhound on 2020/06/24 21:36
This was a great app until recently. It’s now unusable because of popup ads that prevent you from using it. A shame. It was good while it lasted.
Trump survey is end of app for me
by gursjov on 2020/06/22 15:03
Used to think this is a good app and if you live in the South it’s essential. I put up with the ads and games for years but now with the pro Trump survey dominating the app, it’s over and out for me. Yet another thing Trump has spoiled in the world. About to move to Mars!
Surveillance of Personal Device
by O'Shy's Irish Tap House, Largo on 2020/06/07 03:24
Disappointed in January 2020 when a pretty decent app decided to allow third party access by MULTIPLE big tech manipulators to ALL of subscribers personal information, eg ALL sites visited (not just this one), even when running in background. Outrageous! Thanks but no thanks.
Adds
by portbaymike on 2020/06/04 12:13
Looks like I need to try another app because it is to hard to make the add go away so I can use the app
Ads block content
by Screw it. Seriously. on 2020/06/03 18:26
I’ve used this app every year during hurricane season without complaint. Today when I used the app for the first time this year to check on Cristobal’s storm track, an app popped up. Fine. However, there was no way to close the app. Not fine. So now I have no advance warning on what could very well be the next Katrina because some predatory lender wants me to apply for a loan? When we say “capitalism kills”, crap like this is what we’re talking about.
No good
by Muno2 on 2020/06/03 06:27
Used to be good. They got greedy. Now, App no good. Doesn’t rate 1 star, but can’t take it away.
I don’t know why the bad comments it is not even that bad
by jjjjjjjjjjkkjkkjjhsisjszkzi on 2020/06/02 22:50
Yo these people are scammers this app isn’t even that bad I dont know what the bad comments are for
Don’t get
by evans516 on 2020/06/01 06:20
I have been using this app for years and I am going to delete it because it runs in the background always and the adds are to annoying. If you are paying for advertising on this app save your money and spend it elsewhere.
Ads
by Ouiser B. on 2020/05/27 13:23
This app used to be awesome (especially the hurricane tracker), even with ads...but now, when it’s opened, you are given the option to buy and go ad-free, or to continue with ads...only you are now inundated with ads. Every single time you go to a new screen, an ad pops up and there’s no way to close it....EVERY. TIME. So you wait 10-15 seconds for it to close on it’s own and/or give you the option to close the ad...nothing happens so you have to minimize the app and open it back up for it to move on to the next screen...nobody has time for that in a weather emergency. So much for the “option” to go ad-free...no thanks...<delete>
Horrible
by UD Guy on 2020/05/27 01:02
You can’t access the content because of the pop up ad that will NOT go away. Useless app.
Ads take over screen
by Deb 3 on 2020/05/26 13:52
Can’t use. Ads lock up screen.
GREAT APP
by Betsy32576 on 2020/05/17 16:33
This app is one of few best weather apps it tells you the points and I would get it BEST APP EVER
Used to be ok, now useless.
by Logic4pd on 2020/05/15 20:40
Asked about settings for location first (new this year) Theapp asked that I either the pay subscription fee or see ads. I selected ads... I then selected Atlantic basin and an ad comes up for lending tree.. Okay...but it never goes away and you can’t close it so the application is now useless. Tried multiple times. The app was only ok before but I used it for a number of years. Now going to delete. You sometimes wonder what the owners are thinking and if they even care. Done!
Usless due to ads
by samkov0202 on 2020/05/14 11:08
What happened to the app? I know we are in times that many people and companies desperately need money, but now every time I click any item, an ad pops up. The annoying thing is that it doesn’t go away AND there is no “x” or “skip” to exit the ad. I think that’s ilegal, btw.
I end up giving up and closing the app. I look for information somewhere else.
Frustrating - Stuck on ads
by AkGuyBlmx-17 on 2020/05/11 20:24
Add will pop up on free version. Will not let you go back. Havta get out and start over. Free version not worth it, and don’t think the paid will be worth it based on limited review of the free version.
Irritating
by Flept on 2020/05/11 19:38
This app requires that you give permission for ads to see anything on the app. That’s ridiculous for a public service app! You can kiss my grits!
Most irritating ads ever
by Episcoravian on 2020/05/03 12:18
Not only do ads irrelevant to my circumstances pop up when I open the app, there appears to be no way to get past the ad so I can access the weather information I seek. Lending Tree can go to hell, along with this app.
Almost killed me
by Doodle sis on 2020/04/16 17:05
I now HATE this app. At first it gave me the options to “never use your location” “only use your location while using this app” “ always use your location” well I chose the second one, but then it said saving your location, then it said this app will always use my location. The app actually works fine, it is 💯 garenteed to be right! 😁 However a week later someone hacked my account then found my location while I was reading a book. It is not a reliable app and I do not recommend it no matter what! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😦😦😦😦😦👿👿👿👿👿😾😾😾😾😾😾👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Global nonsense
by Upside toe on 2020/02/20 17:41
I love this app
how blessed are we to have such technology,
I only believe in science (on Earth)
And Jesus through eternity!
Creation is utterly amazing
Ads ads everywhere an ad
by finfan00013 on 2020/01/22 20:28
Used to be great but sold out to ads and I don’t mind 1 but it is horrible now
Weather on point
by Z- hex on 2020/01/01 21:08
This app has been helping me observe all the things I need and more. It’s my favorite
Waaaay too many pop up ads now! Don’t bother
by 32809667 on 2019/12/20 00:06
I liked the app at first but now there’s a pop up ad every time I change a view. AND the x on the close feature has to be tapped multiple times to get rid of the ad. I decided their greed for ad revenue was not worth my frustration. Deleted it.
Unstable and questionably accurate if that
by JCwired on 2019/12/08 20:48
After using this one for years I have found that the categorizing of images which are FREE from NOAA are not consistent with what images cover what regions.
It is not uncommon for the app to crash then you have to restart the app yet again which is more than an annoyance. Recently they wanted to start charging users for what they are providing which is a joke.
Ads galore
by Topherar on 2019/09/24 13:44
Too many ads at beginning that delay seeing info.
Drained phone 20% while not in use, won’t let me turn it off
by BobbyTheGamer on 2019/09/24 11:45
This app has decided it wants to run 24/7 in the background. Tried to turn off location services, and it won’t let me. So basically the app hijacks the phone. 22 hr 30 min of the last 24 hours in screen time shows this app was running. I haven’t intentionally used this app in months.
Adds subscription is bugging
by Can all names be taken? on 2019/09/20 20:17
Stop the advertising
Atlantic disturbances
by richbsolo on 2019/09/14 15:27
Very informative, very accurate always allow you to get prepared if necessary . Having this information is a must this time of year. Thanks to everyone at noaa.
Beware
by Dizky on 2019/09/10 12:16
Advertising is politically biased. I’m not sure this app is American based. I deleted it.
Politics ads
by Sue4566 on 2019/09/04 21:37
The app itself is interesting, but every time I open it I’m getting an ad asking for me to support immigration crackdowns and “don’t tread on me” symbols. Maybe it’s just a paying advertiser, or maybe it’s the developer pushing they’re agenda, but I’m not interested in supporting that.
WAY TO INVASIVE ADS
by He-Who-Hates-Annoying-Ads on 2019/09/03 12:31
Over time the ads get progressively “pushy”— first easy to dismiss, then taking over screen, then taking over screen with sound. Then it wasn’t, easy to see how to dismiss them. I felt like I was being harassed into paying to get rid of them. I do pay for many of the apps I use, but this is not an app I need. So they annoyed me into deleting it.
Ads
by Master-trader on 2019/09/02 04:01
I haven’t been able to enjoy app yet, still fighting with the ads
Are you kidding me
by JHawk8 on 2019/09/02 00:07
I’m in Florida, trying to get info from this app and each time it takes me to a advertisement video. Really...a Cat5 coming in and you use advertisement instead of the life saving info we need. Bye
Extremely poor
by Jeanne-d-Arc on 2019/09/01 23:31
This app tries to force you to pay to remove ads even if you don’t mind ads by removing features as well.
The app maker should simply not offer a free version if what they actually intend is a paid version. I resent the strong arm tactics to pretend that they offer a free version when in fact all they want to do is threaten you with removal of features if you don’t pay “to remove ads.”
What they mean is that it is a trial version of a paid app and not a free app.
They should say what they mean instead of pretending otherwise. Being straightforward is more impressive to me than lying.
So I am going to delete this app. It doesn’t do anything I can’t get from another app anyway.
Response
by Susie Boca on 2019/08/31 07:15
Really liked the graphics back during Wilma. Having a hard time finding the storms off Africa that eventually effect us in Boca/SFL. Can see some coming, but can no longer predict. I predicted Wilma hitting Boca 2 weeks out. Zero training....just 30 years plus watching path off Africa and impact on SFL.
Worst weather site...ads...ads...ads. Terrible
by Slivman01 on 2019/08/30 13:04
Please fix the amount of time ads pop up. I’m no longer going to use this app. I can handle ads, but not this many
Not happy!
by jamimp on 2019/08/29 22:18
Not getting any reports or discussions anymore. Not happy. They were so beneficial
TOO MANY ADS!!!!!!!
by jswin1 on 2019/08/29 10:17
Stop with all the freaking ads!!!!!!
Down with ACCU Weather
by Valinor2 on 2019/08/28 23:23
May it burn and crash a fiery death and NOAA NWS triumph and reign supreme!
Excelente app.
by Acobes on 2019/08/28 21:45
Excelente app. Tiene toda la información necesaria para tomar decisiones en casos de emergencias naturales.
NUMBER ONE WEATHER APP
by Donald1951 on 2019/08/27 18:12
Simply the first app, out of many, that truly impressed me. All the information you will ever need.
MUST HAVE!!!!
Clunky Interface
by meredith0 on 2019/08/26 15:35
Also, advert in your face at opening.
Ads on a paid app! 👎🏻
by etropsis on 2019/08/24 16:39
I purchased this app when it was called NOAA NOW. I guess it’s been bought out, because now it is back to multiple ads that play until they time out. Very disappointed that I’m forced to watch ads now on a paid app or else pay a monthly fee. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
My opinion!
by Hawken Rifleman 055 on 2019/08/16 15:42
Continuously fighting ads trying to use app.
Ads galore
by nic0513 on 2019/08/03 02:46
Easier to check the weather on google.
Excellent but occasionally difficult to find items of interest
by Fabian3sg on 2019/07/11 01:24
All info is there. Including maps etc. but occasionally I cannot navigate easily. Not intuitive enough. Otherwise I’d give it 5 stars.
Hawaii is Not a US State
by ReconMarine911 on 2019/06/05 12:03
Apparently, NOAA does not know that Hawaii is the 50th State and therefore is not recognized anymore! I originally downloaded this app it still had Hawaii on it but NO, not anymore! Don’t waste your time with this app!
Noaa weather
by Port Capt. Pat on 2019/05/07 17:43
Thank you. Your the best out there. Port Capt. Pat
Won’t update
by T< on 2019/05/06 15:47
Been trying to update app for two days now!
**AVOID ITS A SCAM**
by TrueReview12 on 2019/04/26 04:07
**Update**
CS refuses to respond to emails. Stay away from any of this companies apps.
They just want your money. Do not subscribe to anything or turn on location services or notifications. This new company has now started scamming people for information that’s available on NOAA website. The previous owner of NOAA Now used to have a $9.99 fully functional app called NOAA now pro. They discontinued the paid version so that they can make more money by charging a reoccurring monthly fee to remove the bloat ware that they added to the free app.
Don’t support these companies that offer a paid full version then take it away and only offer a subscription to get rid of the rubbish. Don’t download it even though it’s free because you’re only going to encourage other app developers with paid apps to do the same.
That’s how in app purchases and games that only require a data connection started. Don’t help them start another disaster!!
not impressed
by done w/names on 2019/04/19 16:38
Set this up for my area—SE—and it would only show Pacific, not Atlantic side or anywhere close to where I live. I did press “allow location while using” and still would not pick it up.
Review on this app
by donnamo05 on 2019/04/12 04:15
I just installed without reading the comments first!!!! I’m getting out of the App Store right now and definitely going to uninstall this app because the most recent message said that although they had it where the app could use their location while they were using the app(the app actually kept keeping up with their location) BEWARE!!! I should have known better! I’ve got into all kinds of trouble for not reading the comments before buying but I never thought to look at the comments on a free app before installing!
Crashes!

App ok but too many google ads

The app works well once you get through the google ads on the front page and before you open any inner pages. Not appreciated on a weather app.

Terrible app
by Tangier14 on 2018/09/25 21:56
This is not from NOAA but from a 3rd party. Continual ads that are almost impossible to close. Can get info directly from the NOAA site. This is a waste of time and a very frustrating app. Would give it zero stars if I could.
Cost

All you get are ads every time you try to use it. A complete ripoff. Stay away!!!!
Disruptive ads

Third party scraping weather data from NOAA.
Very disappointed
by jabilello on 2018/09/12 15:39
I was looking for NOAA hurricane information.. projected track, wind speed probabilities, etc that you find on the NOAA Hurricane Center web page.. so, all the pretty pictures they have in their ad just are not available in this app... only gives satellite images (which are pretty, but not very informative), and the text updates that are releases 4x per day (they are informative, but a lot of info to sift through).. there is other information , but hurricane info is very limited.. so disappointed..
Very glitchy
by Wynn621 on 2018/09/12 12:21
Don’t download, this is a very glitchy app. Doesn’t add any content. Just go to the NOAA website.

Though I readily agree that massive global fossil fuel use will have an effect I find that the smug statements of empirical fact that are presented as certainty without bothering to be intellectually honest and discuss the full range of data are repulsive and likely will cause pushback
If the people running NOAA preserve their credibility they would achieve more
Clumsy app; too many full page popup ads
by badkitty_ on 2018/09/11 12:13
First, the information is clumsily spread out over multiple pages. There is no one central page that will show you all hurricane activity in the Atlantic, for example.
Second, while navigating from one submenu to another, you will be greeted with multiple full page popup ads unsolicited.You don’t get to choose for the ads to stay at the bottom of the screen. They open unannounced and take over the screen.
Third, once you are in one of the submenus, good luck getting back to the main page.The app is very clumsy in design and had no “at a glance” feature.
It is okay if you are desperate but you will get more info and less ads by just visiting NOAA’s website in your browser.
Not as expected
by BobH1954 on 2018/09/11 01:36
No radar, Need better maps and to many pop up adds

You can’t even open a window without game ads popping up. I got a different hurricane ap for free with no ads. Not easy to navigate either.
Just the facts !!!
by jdfana on 2017/09/10 02:36
With this program you can check the weather any where in the world. It works almost instantaneously to give you either a written statement of the weather or you can look at the pretty pictures . Either way you get the latest update available for any where in the world.
Disengenuous - beware
by Gcoost on 2017/12/06 00:46
I was astonished to find that the app does NOT follow its own settings...when you first set it up, you are given three choices as a setting:
(1) Never use your location
(2) Use your location only while using app
(3) Always use your location
Well, I chose (2), because I thought it only fair that an application might need your location info while you are using it, so that it runs more efficiently or better, etc.
However, after I left the application - stopping it, I noticed that I still have a banner running at the top of my screen which says,”NOAA Now is Actively Using Your Location.
I went to the website to the privacy information located at the bottom of the page, and was informed that the company that runs and oh AAA now does not knowingly pass your personal information on to anyone. That being said, if that is the case then why does it need to run in the background, even when you have left the application and closed it? Because what it is telling you is not actually what it does. For that reason I am uninstalling this application and sending a notice to the Better Business Bureau about the company’s misrepresentation of its product.
Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware (even though this application version it’s free)
Ads
by Ouiser B. on 2020/05/27 13:23
This app used to be awesome (especially the hurricane tracker), even with ads...but now, when it’s opened, you are given the option to buy and go ad-free, or to continue with ads...only you are now inundated with ads. Every single time you go to a new screen, an ad pops up and there’s no way to close it....EVERY. TIME. So you wait 10-15 seconds for it to close on it’s own and/or give you the option to close the ad...nothing happens so you have to minimize the app and open it back up for it to move on to the next screen...nobody has time for that in a weather emergency. So much for the “option” to go ad-free...no thanks...<delete>
**AVOID ITS A SCAM**
by TrueReview12 on 2019/04/26 04:07
**Update**
CS refuses to respond to emails. Stay away from any of this companies apps.
They just want your money. Do not subscribe to anything or turn on location services or notifications. This new company has now started scamming people for information that’s available on NOAA website. The previous owner of NOAA Now used to have a $9.99 fully functional app called NOAA now pro. They discontinued the paid version so that they can make more money by charging a reoccurring monthly fee to remove the bloat ware that they added to the free app.
Don’t support these companies that offer a paid full version then take it away and only offer a subscription to get rid of the rubbish. Don’t download it even though it’s free because you’re only going to encourage other app developers with paid apps to do the same.
That’s how in app purchases and games that only require a data connection started. Don’t help them start another disaster!!
Almost killed me
by Doodle sis on 2020/04/16 17:05
I now HATE this app. At first it gave me the options to “never use your location” “only use your location while using this app” “ always use your location” well I chose the second one, but then it said saving your location, then it said this app will always use my location. The app actually works fine, it is 💯 garenteed to be right! 😁 However a week later someone hacked my account then found my location while I was reading a book. It is not a reliable app and I do not recommend it no matter what! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😦😦😦😦😦👿👿👿👿👿😾😾😾😾😾😾👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Really liked the graphics back during Wilma. Having a hard time finding the storms off Africa that eventually effect us in Boca/SFL. Can see some coming, but can no longer predict. I predicted Wilma hitting Boca 2 weeks out. Zero training....just 30 years plus watching path off Africa and impact on SFL.
Highly Recommended
by Cnh99 on 2017/09/09 02:49
It's a great informative and scientifically oriented medium of delivering weather updates.
Only quirk would be each time you leave the app it closes what you were last reading and you have to go back and find it. Possibly adding a little notification pop up on the side saying how many new posts have been added since the post you began reading.

L O V E this app . . .
by halb2524 on 2018/05/21 00:12
It is a safety item. Every time there is a weather or related watch, warning or whatever -- it shows up here. All of the information shows up. There are the complete NOAA texts, maps, references to addit'l info, if it exists, anything else relevant.
I think I have 20 (+/-) weather apps between the iPad and iPhone. They change from time to time, depending on the app development, seasons, etc. But this app hasn't been deleted yet.
The app is especially relevant during severe weather season here in the Midwest for tornadoes, hail, thunderstorms, flooding.
Simple and relevant. Good.
Used to be ok, now useless.
by Logic4pd on 2020/05/15 20:40
Asked about settings for location first (new this year) Theapp asked that I either the pay subscription fee or see ads. I selected ads... I then selected Atlantic basin and an ad comes up for lending tree.. Okay...but it never goes away and you can’t close it so the application is now useless. Tried multiple times. The app was only ok before but I used it for a number of years. Now going to delete. You sometimes wonder what the owners are thinking and if they even care. Done!
Ads block content
by Screw it. Seriously. on 2020/06/03 18:26
I’ve used this app every year during hurricane season without complaint. Today when I used the app for the first time this year to check on Cristobal’s storm track, an app popped up. Fine. However, there was no way to close the app. Not fine. So now I have no advance warning on what could very well be the next Katrina because some predatory lender wants me to apply for a loan? When we say “capitalism kills”, crap like this is what we’re talking about.

by Bud1058 on 2018/08/21 07:21
Originally this app had local radar, then after a short time, it was stopped, there are many pop up ads to deal with that cover the whole screen and you have to wait the time period with each one. Now it pops up with an ad for their new weather app which has weather radar. I won't get anything else from them, it's a bait and switch.
Now useless
by TineastTN on 2020/07/31 21:47
This app is now useless. O never get past the ad. I have used this app for several years and loved it. It has ads but that was fine until today when the ad would never go away. I don’t need an app that does nothing but show me a Lending Tree ad over and over again!
7/31 - problem was corrected but has not stayed corrected. In the middle of a hurricane come up the coast the Lending Tree ad once again will not go away.
Amazing and accurate

Extremely poor
by Jeanne-d-Arc on 2019/09/01 23:31
This app tries to force you to pay to remove ads even if you don’t mind ads by removing features as well.
The app maker should simply not offer a free version if what they actually intend is a paid version. I resent the strong arm tactics to pretend that they offer a free version when in fact all they want to do is threaten you with removal of features if you don’t pay “to remove ads.”
What they mean is that it is a trial version of a paid app and not a free app.
They should say what they mean instead of pretending otherwise. Being straightforward is more impressive to me than lying.
So I am going to delete this app. It doesn’t do anything I can’t get from another app anyway.
Excellent but occasionally difficult to find items of interest
by Fabian3sg on 2019/07/11 01:24
All info is there. Including maps etc. but occasionally I cannot navigate easily. Not intuitive enough. Otherwise I’d give it 5 stars.
FULL PAGE ADS = DELETE
by Allen Lieberman on 2020/10/22 22:27
Developer apparently does not use their own app. Ads with sounds??? Forget this. Content not worth the price of removing ads. Image quality very LOW resolution.
Don’t bother supporting app developers that ram full page ads down your throat. Especially when there are tons of other apps that provide same information at better quality than what you find here.

Unstable and questionably accurate if that
by JCwired on 2019/12/08 20:48
After using this one for years I have found that the categorizing of images which are FREE from NOAA are not consistent with what images cover what regions.
It is not uncommon for the app to crash then you have to restart the app yet again which is more than an annoyance. Recently they wanted to start charging users for what they are providing which is a joke.

Now Is Useless so I Deleted It
by Mick Gator Fan on 2018/03/09 06:49
Used to be great with useful content. They started removing the most useful features a while ago. Now they've added pop-up ads when you select something. After you close the ad, you get one of the following errors:
-Request timed out;
-Site not found on server;
-Cannot download image.
So, I deleted the app. At least I could still do that.
Usless due to ads
by samkov0202 on 2020/05/14 11:08
What happened to the app? I know we are in times that many people and companies desperately need money, but now every time I click any item, an ad pops up. The annoying thing is that it doesn’t go away AND there is no “x” or “skip” to exit the ad. I think that’s ilegal, btw.
I end up giving up and closing the app. I look for information somewhere else.
Drained phone 20% while not in use, won’t let me turn it off
by BobbyTheGamer on 2019/09/24 11:45
This app has decided it wants to run 24/7 in the background. Tried to turn off location services, and it won’t let me. So basically the app hijacks the phone. 22 hr 30 min of the last 24 hours in screen time shows this app was running. I haven’t intentionally used this app in months.
Nope! Now.
by Catfish1112 on 2018/09/09 03:36
Nope. Uh-uh. Won’t recommend. We currently have a potential Cat 4 hurricane bearing and I can’t navigate past ads for Final Fantasy and some tiki monkey junk. App is phenomenal if you wanna know if it’ll snow on Christmas Day, but if you life depends on it. Heck, I’ll stick with the local meteorologists. I gave a second star for that time years ago when I could depend on NOAA.
Hate ads with sound
by Janice_E on 2018/07/27 09:37
I used to really like this app and was willing to put up with the ads at the bottom. But in the last couple of days, when I open the app, a loud, raucous ad covers the page and I have to quickly close the app to avoid waking up anyone in the house or jarring my ears. I'll just go to the NHC from now on. I'm sorry they made this change.
NHC

Clunky and dated page design
by PJC57 on 2018/09/10 07:18
No flow to this app. Not intuitive. Every time the site is opened, the user has to read the entire page to process next click to get to data. Once finally there, information is very good though. Respectfully, a definite “re-do” is needed.

WAY TO INVASIVE ADS
by He-Who-Hates-Annoying-Ads on 2019/09/03 12:31
Over time the ads get progressively “pushy”— first easy to dismiss, then taking over screen, then taking over screen with sound. Then it wasn’t, easy to see how to dismiss them. I felt like I was being harassed into paying to get rid of them. I do pay for many of the apps I use, but this is not an app I need. So they annoyed me into deleting it.

Too many ads
by pskme on 2020/07/31 11:20
I have used this app for years and have loved it. However, recently there have been so many ads (mostly political these days) that interrupt the viewing of every page that it’s virtually impossible to use it.

They are so greedy
by nononotoads on 2020/07/29 00:57
This app used to be great until they started forcing ads down your throat with no was to close them, skip them, or go away after a few seconds. You cannot use it when you need it the most, It’s amazing a company can get so greedy during these times, but Karma always prevails.

NOAA weather alerts, and forecast, are very helpful, and it keeps you updated on the latest tropical cyclone, winter advisory, or any inclement weather systems, to help keep you safe.
Ads do not need to be on this app!
by Palmetto Swamp Fox on 2018/09/08 20:10
When such an important app which provides info regarding major storms, it is in poor taste to have long ads or even video game ads that last sixty seconds or greater. Especially when you are trying to get current info. This one is getting deleted!
One ⭐️😡😡😡
Love it!
by Dblshrp on 2017/09/11 19:50
I always use the NOAA app. I use the satellite views often and go to it for severe weather updates. I trust NOAA more than the weather channel.
Waaaay too many pop up ads now! Don’t bother
by 32809667 on 2019/12/20 00:06
I liked the app at first but now there’s a pop up ad every time I change a view. AND the x on the close feature has to be tapped multiple times to get rid of the ad. I decided their greed for ad revenue was not worth my frustration. Deleted it.
Ads RUIN it
by CaliBirds on 2018/09/03 12:52
They have video adds that take over you’re whole screen just for toggling through the app. NOAA is a government agency that we pay our tax dollars for. We shouldn’t have to give any more money to access this information without invasive ads and respect to our time. I’m deleting this crap.
