MyFoxHurricane App Reviews

Love the update!

The MyFoxHurricane app was the best storm tracking app out there and the newest update makes it even better. It has all the tools you need to track storms like satellite views, incredible radar, official tracks, spaghetti models, buoy data, plus video updates. Its like having the national hurricane center in my pocket. Great job!

Nice Update

Glad to see this working in iOS4. The streaming video is great, and it looks lke this is JUST in time, as we have 3 active storms, and "Earl" is gaining strength! Also like seeing all the model data, and images. This is a great app if your a tropical storm watcher.

Love this app but lost a feature??

Ive been using this app the entire 2010 season and its been great. Everything I could want to know and more. Only issue I have is before the 2.0 update I could read the technical discussion from NHC on specific storms and that is now gone. That is a vital feature that saved me alot of time. Please fix. The NHC discussions are very important. Maps are only half the story.

Another homerun

This app is perfect for a novice like myself yet seems to have features and information to satisfy the most weather-savvy user. Visually appealing, runs smoothly on my iPhone 4 and simple to navigate. This app is a useful tool for me to keep up with hurricane activity that impacts my family on the east and gulf coasts even while Im in the heart of tornado country.

Love it! The sattelite images are clear and the info is easy to understand. Very easy UI! This, along with the MyFox news app, I believe you are covered to stay ahead of the storm! Great job! Would love to be able to share the info via Twitter & Facebook though! Maybe in the next update?

Perfect for keeping up with the tropics

I use this app to stay on top of everything that is going on with the latest tropical storms and hurricanes. Having the tracks, imagery, etc. all in one place makes for very quick "one-stop shopping." If you or your loved ones live in hurricane-prone areas or you are just a weather fanatic, I recommend this app!

Mediocre

I expected more. The interface is very laggy. Its not worth $3.99

DUD!!!

This is a total tipoff!! Has potential to be outstanding but 80% of the time, it NEVER COMES UP!!! Fox needs to remove its name from this pile of junk!!

Death by update

WAS great 5 stars since update ... Zero stars ... Dont buy They removed all data I originally purchased app for.

What happened???

Theres a cat4 out there and its not even shown in the "storms" section. Where are the tracks? Too bad about the "upgrade".

Need Date Reference?

When you pull up current storms, there is no way to tell how current without some date reference.

Where

Update: Still no landscape view on maps. Let the red pin top show my location, not the developers. Sorry, but the developer is not responsive to requests as indicated by a previous reviewer. My previous review: After latest update, landscape view is gone (except for videos). Can you get rid of the red pin top highlighting Florida on the storms map? Its distracting. A lot of the new features are great. But, I miss the landscape view, as it slightly enlarged the map and made it easier to see the small print.

It would be nice if

It would be nice if you could get a bigger picture buy turning the phone sideways. I feel like Im watching HD on an old boob tube tv. Lot of black above and below the picture. Besides that it is a nice app.

Wrong info

I liked this app until I actually needed to use it. We live in Florida, the hurricane Irene info is not correct in this app. I thought after two days the fox hurricane center would notice it, but it is not accurate info and not helpful with a Cat 2 barreling down on us! This is the very first time I have written a review.

Does not work ! Do not buy

App worked last year but isnt updating at all this year. Have no idea why people are buying this. Update: had to delete and reinstall to get it to work again.

Easy to use

I love this app !! Its easy to use and I can get up to date quickly instead of waiting for the nightly news!!

Prone to freezes

As of August 2012, this app will freeze, which can be fixed only by rebooting the phone or installing it again to the tune of $3.99.

Mediocre at best.

During hurricane Isaac the video updates often ran 8 to 12 hours behind. The graphic data is nice, but nothing special. I will probably delete this app.

Bought this app this morning, only successful in loading twice

Very disappointing app. Bought it so wouldnt have to load the web version of this site. But have only got it to load twice in numerous attempts. Wouldnt advise spending the money on this app till the force close bug is resolved

Can not rotate map. This is about half as good as the website layout

Wont use this, and am going back to the website
