Features & Capabilities

iDamage pushes thunderstorm damage reports originating from trained spotters, emergency responders, and members of the public to your iPhone or iPad. If you chase tornados, hail, or high winds for a living, or volunteer to assist your community during severe weather events, or just want to improve your situational awareness on days when storms might pop up, iDamage is the app for you.

Here are its features:

  • Push notification of storm events, oftentimes including very specific damage reports. Coverage area includes the entire Contiguous (Lower 48) United States.

  • User-configurable filters allow you to receive notifications for the entire Contiguous US, an entire state, a local area, and/or for specific types of severe weather (tornado, hail, high wind). Use the auto-location feature of your mobile device to set a filter if you are traveling and not sure of your general location.

  • Filter push notifications by hail size

  • Optional alternate push alert sound for hail events

  • Map of storm events with color coded pins. Timeframes are 3-hr, full day, or archival (back to 29 Feb 2004). Touch any pin for access to details. WiFi-only iPad users, data from your last view is cached for off-line use.

  • Filter Map View by event type and hail size

  • List of storm events in table form. Touch any cell in the table for a single pin street or hybrid map view.

  • Link to the "Maps" app on your home screen so you can get directions to the approximate location of severe weather events.

  • Storm reports may be e-mailed in an external email app.

  • 24 hour (with CONUS radar animation + watch boxes), 2-day, 3-day, and 4-8 day convective (thunderstorm) outlook with probability maps and technical discussion.

  • Mesoscale discussions with maps

  • Convective weather watches with maps.

  • Local hazardous weather products (including watches and warnings), selectable by touching a location on a map or via auto-location.

  • Local animated radar with warning boxes

*** NOTE: Watches and warnings are NOT pushed. iDamage only pushes reports of thunderstorm (convective) events. Tropical and extratropical systems may not generate reports.

  • 9 pm - 9 am silence switch in Settings view. Push notifications will visually display, but alert tones are silenced.

  • iDamage has wildfire capability! Get a map of satellite thermal anomaly detections plus public wildfire reports.

User Reviews

Users praise iDamage-Pushed as a powerful, essential storm and damage-tracking tool with strong alerts and professional-grade data. However, recurring complaints focus on UI/UX usability (small controls, pin size, navigation quirks), data accuracy and delays (fake/missing reports, SPC-based delays), stability (crashes and open failures), and notification reliability (delayed or missed alerts). Despite these issues, many users value its rich features and developer responsiveness, and view it as a key tool for weather-related work.
Pros
  • Excellent push notifications that keep users alerted to hail and severe weather.
  • Essential professional tool with detailed storm and damage data and customizable reports.
  • Useful maps and data with road descriptions; helpful for inspections and client communications.
  • Active development and responsiveness from the author.
  • Overall reliability and usefulness for weather tracking and planning, with improvements over time.
Cons
  • UI/UX issues: buttons and map controls are too small or cluttered, pins are oversized, and navigation can reset or misbehave on certain devices.
  • Data accuracy concerns: fake reports, missed storms, and reports that don’t reflect reality; heavy reliance on user reports.
  • Data latency: reliance on aggregated SPC reports can introduce delays before events are reflected.
  • Stability issues: app crashes or fails to open on some devices or after OS updates.
  • Notification delivery problems: inconsistent or delayed alerts (sometimes not delivered or arriving long after events).

The pins are bigger and makes it harder to see what city I’m looking at. I literally have to zoom in so much it’s not as good as the old pins (apple version) my friends android is not as bad.
