Latest reviews of Tracking the Tropics app for iPhone and iPad
Finally a Great Hurricane APP for the iPhone... Nice. :-)
One would think that after the country elected a president that was born and raised in Hawaii, the islands would finally be considered in the national consciousness, and NOAA would include the Central Pacific area in their Hurricane Tracker... But apparently even though weddings are historically held in the summer, and Hawaii is a major destination for vacations and honeymoons, in addition to the afore mentioned presidents home stomping grounds, the 50th state is still not worthy of being included. I realize the Gulf state deal with hurricanes a lot more frequently than Hawaii does but we watch every storm that forms in the Pacific as the chances of it affecting us is fairly significant, even if it isnt a hurricane by the time. It reaches us... And on the rare occasion it does reach us as a hurricane, the damage is typically devastating. Shame on you, NOAA, for not including the Central Pacific in your app. I am very disappointed.
If you live in Hawaii dont waste your time! This application is like everything else" not available in Alaska in Hawaii!"
Was linked to this app while reading an article about the two hurricanes heading towards Hawaiʻi, but, like others have stated, there is no coverage of the Pacific. Deleted the app.
Display is way so small that its really if no use. Theres gotta be a better free tracker to try out before u upgrade. Dumb developers.
