Pros and cons of MyFoxHurricane app for iPhone and iPad

MyFoxHurricane app good for

This app has everything I need to track the storms including videos and national weather service information! I love it! very cool

This is a great app! Very easy to access the maps and videos. Great tool for anyone living in a coastal area!

It is now truly worth the money. The addition of motion on the maps makes it look like a professional site, which I was expecting from Paul and the other metorologists there at Fox.

** UPDATE ** The developer is VERY responsive, and maybe has an inside track on getting fast approval from the app store! I promote the latest update to 5 star because every issue that I reported has been fixed. Landscape mode viewing is icing on the cake. It is a keeper, and even if you have another hurricane app, you need this one too. My original review remains below for reference only. GOOD JOB! You immediately note that the GUI is not as refined, informative or as pleasant as the front runner hurricane app. Even though the maps can be zoomed, the app really should be able to present the maps in landscape mode as some are quite detailed. Exclusive content is always interesting however, and allows this app to remain on my iPhone as a companion to the competition. Florida temps map is incorrect as it shows Florida Wave Heights - we should have both.

**UPDATE-I love new versions! The new black interface is awesome! I havent seen that on any other app. Also, i mentioned animation would be nice and now there is! Landscape view also makes it easier to see everything. It is now a more complete hurricane app! Thanks myFox!** I am a meteorologist and this is definately one of the better hurricane apps. I really like the video updates! Tons of images and data. Havent had any problems with it yet. Good streamlined style! Needs a little bit more though, hopefully more animation soon (update maybe?!) I would def recommend (if you are a meteorologist or not!)

the map options are fantastic. Animating on regional views and the globe view! And the new interactive map is a nice touch! This great app just got even better! Just in time for the new hurricane action!

Some bad moments

Needs improvement. The app consists of only a bunch of apps. The weather bug elite is a better choice. Maybe in the future they will add more features.

No live Doppler, very old updates. A refund would be great! We need a 24hr trial before purchase.

Instead, pony up the cash for Hurricane by KittyCode. Its fantastic. This thing is a dismal disappointment.

Short on features like limited views and no rotation. Information is also limited. Maybe in the future, not now. Save your $! I bought this by mistake intending to buy "Kitty Code(s) / Hurricane". What a disappointment I tried to live with my error but cant, this app is useless, as is. Who would have thought Fox would put out something like This?

At 5:30 p.m. Im watching the 11:00 a.m. Update. "WHAT GIVES?" I believe hurricane and tropical storm updates are every 3 hrs. I guess I need a more current app. Im a little disappointed!

On the main page, click on "Ida Remnants Radar" and see it promptly crash the program every time. Many other links do the same, very disappointing! Cannot judge the app if it keeps shutting down! Worthless till they fix the bugs. Do not believe everything you read on these reviews....
