However, many reviews flag reliability and usability problems: the app frequently crashes or freezes, ads are intrusive and disruptive, location/GPS sometimes fails to initialize, and the UI/design feels lacking with insufficient features and coarse coastline visuals. Despite these issues, some users still find it helpful when the app runs smoothly and delivers accurate tracking. ### Pros - Accurate hurricane and storm tracking - Useful for monitoring tropical storms - Good map visuals with smooth oceans and satellite views - Generally good quality and easy to use ### Cons - Frequent crashes or freezes - Intrusive, aggressive ads - Location/GPS not picked up or unreliable - Poor UI/design with missing options and subpar coastline visuals ## Similar extensions and apps - [My Hurricane Tracker & Alerts](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jrustonapps.myhurricanetracker) — 786,507 users, 4.73 / 5 - [Track-It Hurricane Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/net.downsouthcustoms.trackit) — 62,050 users, 4.58 / 5 - [Hurricane & Earthquake Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.aetherstudios.weather.forecast) — 2,683 users, 4.55 / 5 - [My Hurricane Tracker Pro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jrustonapps.myhurricanetrackerpro) — 14,545 users, 4.75 / 5 - [WindTrac: Wind & Wave Map](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rivolu.windtrac) — 24,843 users - [SeaStorm Hurricane Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.poignantprojects.seastorm) — 32,460 users, 3.76 / 5 - [Hurricane & Typhoon Track](https://chrome-stats.com/d/typhoon.andriod.hy.typhoon1) — 206,034 users, 3.82 / 5 - [Wind Direction Map](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.windtracker) — 317 users - [Interactive Hurricane Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.htech.trackerads) — 62 users - [Windy.app - Enhanced forecast](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.windyapp.android) — 13,051,820 users, 4.76 / 5 - [NeoHurricane](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.lesdanielherrera.neohurricane) — 42 users - [Tropical Hurricane Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jpltech.hurricanetracker) — 626,777 users, 4.85 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/spapps.com.windmap)
