27StormTrack Reviews

by Kikketer

Don't touch this "updated" version of 27StormTrack at least if you are using an iPad. The thing is terrible looking in landscape, the blue covers almost all of the screen. The advertisements are massive and the map is so narrow that you can't even tell what's going on.

Navigation is crap. I seriously think app developers should take a lesson or two in UX design and stop being money hungry.

I'm already looking for a completely different app since the old one now constantly prompts me to download this pile of garbage.

The content of 27StormTrack is great for local weather but I just can’t take the long opening ads on any more. Even if you close for a few seconds you have to look at the GHC ad again (and to this day And after day the hundreds of time I’ve opened 27StormTrack I have no idea what the cartoon is trying to convey.., a tooth? I think dentist every time I open it.) now you’ve added a second one with what I guess is your meteorologist? Looks like an ad for a casino. I’m trying channel 15’s weather app.

I use 27StormTrack religiously and have never had an issue, until today. It keeps booting me out of 27StormTrack . I can manage to stay on 27StormTrack long enjoy to see the insurance ad and then it just kicks me completely out. I’m running the most recent update and even restarting my phone hasn’t changed anything. PLEASE FIX IT!!!!

It takes 27StormTrack seemingly forever to load because each time one is made to view “the men of stormtrack” (zero women, really?!) and then an even longer ad screen. The excessive length of time the ad screen is present makes me mad every time- do we all really need advertising just to check the temperature?

On both their website and app you cannot watch a video for more than 20 seconds without it crashing. It can’t be that hard in 2020 to post a video that works. Great weather station but if you miss it live you can’t find working videos anywhere online

Now, in addition to having to wait for the GHC ad to clear (too long!), the background for every page on 27StormTrack features “The Men of Storm Track.” Ugh. Doesn’t seem to be a way to change it. Sorry, but I’ll be getting my weather updates from another app which focuses on the weather.

I used to love 27StormTrack. I removed it and now use the channel 15 app because you have to many adds now on 27StormTrack . Goodbye 27

This used to be my fav weather app. Now it is saying this version is not compatible with my iPad & wants me to download the compatible app EVERY DAY!!! Please fix & thank you.

Can't change the orientation for iPad? Not user friendly. Prefer old version because of this. App crashes on initial open. Have to reopen. This is a pain!!!!
Why does app keep crashing?
Fix the thing or it’s gone!!!
And don’t send weather info via voice unless there’s a warning of bad weather!!! I can see the weather is good without an interruption!!!!
Work on this!!!!

27StormTrack has a nice MAP which is great for viewing and clarifying weather status HOWEVER, it is REALLY BAD..with commercials. No options to subscribe in order to avoid commercials. Very disappointing. Will drop 27StormTrack in favor of 15 Weather Authority App, which is without commercials and much better because of that...also still free....

Takes awhile to open 27StormTrack and to weather data for it to appear. Getting worse than previous version.

by Jengaworld

This was great for the blizzard -- handy radar map, hourly and 10-day forecasts, clear notices and text for severe warnings, and video of recent weather segments from TV. But there is no windchill reading -- not great on a day when the WC is -15° (which I only know from going to a different app). Many of the News link also seem to be broken and just lead to a blank page.

Has potential, but in a competitive field it needs work on the above.

I just updated recently and every time I open 27StormTrack it pops up a message about Bluetooth which I have no interest in doing. Both the help menu item and the Feedback menu items are not functional.

I guess I still appreciate the weather information, but the pop-up is quite annoying.

by SeaHunter

I generally love 27StormTrack... Except HEY DEVELOPERS! if you tell me there is a tornado or severe weather WARNING, how about NOT first making me watch an ad??? I really want to first READ the warning and find out what is bearing down on me. I'm thinking. "How can I prevent injury or death" not "Maybe I need different health coverage?." SURELY your app knows if I am in a severe weather zone. Could you maybe make THAT the priority? I'm in a severe thunderstorm warning, and I actually DO have GHC... should I mychart this to Member Services? Or should I take shelter? So hard to decide!

I love 27StormTrack it's the best in the world but 1 ? On iPad it had a update but on the iPod it doesn't! But other wise it's awesome and I like that if you missed the news in the morning you can watch it after work or some thing! I love it!!!!!
So I really recommend 27StormTrack more than the weather channel!!! So if you have weather channel I recommend trying 27StormTrack I think you'll like it!!!! It takes a little bit to load but I love the real app!!!!! It's awesome!!!!!! :)
Have a great day ;)

by WorldPocketMaps

I give it a 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because it takes a while to load but further than that 27StormTrack is GREAT it gives YOU Lots Of Options❗️Not like the Today's news or those top classes apps news. I love it❗️It's awesome. It has great tracking it shows everything u want it to. Even u can auto choose ur location 😄😃😀😉

Have A Good Day❗️

P.S I really don't rate apps but 27StormTrack I will consider rating 27StormTrack ❗️That's how great it is❗️

Looks like I'm the first review. I'd like to start off by saying I use this in place of TWC. I absolutely despise that channel and want nothing to do with it. Then I went with Weathernation but that wasn't cutting it. I like 27StormTrack because it's local and accurate. The ONLY thing I'd like to see is a better span of time for the radar. Say like a 2 hour window instead of just 20 minutes? I think that's what it is now. With the storm season approaching 20 minutes isn't enough to see and plan things out, which I do quite often. Until that's changed I have to keep TWC and WN around :/

5 stars when that's done please and thank you!

This is a really good app and I don’t see why the rating for it is low. It shows me everything I want and need to see for my current location and other locations as well. I recommend 27StormTrack for people that want to stay safe when traveling and don’t want to be one of those people that have no clue what the wether is.

I have used many weather, and storm track apps. I currently have 5 on my I phone 4. This is by far the best of any I have used. Besides showing more details on current and future weather. It has an outstanding display to show you where storms are predicted to go future-wise. Extremely easy to understand, fun to play with. There is currently a snow storm possible heading my way, so ill give it a full test. Aside from that, I grew up watching meteorologist bob lindmeier on channel 27. I find him to be one of the best meteorologist's out there. So the added up to date video's of him giving the weather forecast, and explaining the storm patterns, is a much added benefit. He really know's how to explain the weather.
The only two problems I find with 27StormTrack, and would like to see one thing added.
1- when watching the videos if I turn my phone sideways, and let the video go to the end. I will get stuck in a black screen. Touching the screen does nothing, nor turning it upright. I use the home button then reload 27StormTrack . This is on a iPhone 4, possibly just a bug, happens to lots of new apps.
2- I would like to see a way to share the weather/storm alerts. On my other apps I can share the weather alert to Facebook or email even text on some. This would be helpful in sharing weather information. I couldn't seem to find any way to do this.
All and all great app!

I had the same problem of having to re-boot this app and not getting it to open. My solution (that worked!!) was to delete 27StormTrack , wait a while, and then go into 27StormTrack store and re-load it from icloud. This DID work and I have this app opening up again!!! Try it.

Other than the constant advertising I think it’s pretty good. Best local app of its kind I’ve found anyway...
