Hurricane Tracker 5.1 - App Store

Hurricane Tracker version 5.1

Updated At: 2026-06-02

Changes: Version History - We are introducing active storm widgets! No more opening the app to see if there are active systems. See this information right on your home screen! Small widget - will display up to 4 storm types. When there are active systems, this widget will only display storm types with active storms. When there are no active storms, it will display 4 storm categories (hurricanes, tropical storms, depressions & invests) showing "0" storms. Medium widget - will always display up the 5 storm types even if they are "0". Widgets will automatically refresh and pull the latest storm counts from the server. Widgets will also update when you launch the app. When you tap on a widget, you will be taken to the "Current Storms" section of the app to view information on active storms. Storm types with active systems will animate and show the number of active storms within each storm type. The number represents how many active systems there currently are within that storm type. For example, if "hurricanes" is showing a "1" then that means there is one active hurricane we are tracking. The storm types are hurricanes (red), tropical storms (orange), depressions (green), potential tropical cyclones (blue), and invests (teal). Note: Due to limited space within the small widget, it will only show up to 4 storm types at once. The medium widget will always show the status of all 5 storm types. Widgets will display Atlantic or Eastern Pacific storm counts based on your "default basin settings" located in the settings panel of the app. - Bug fixes 5.1 06/27/2023 - fixed crashing error when using the share feature - numerous bug updates - under the hood improvements - compatible with the latest versions of iOS 5.0.5 06/07/2022 This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. 5.0.4 - final bug fixes for iOS 11 - compatibility with the iPhone 8/iPhone 8 plus and iPhone X - version number added to the settings panel Happy tracking! ---------------------------------------------------------------- 5.0.2 - bug fixes - Added video tutorial to settings panel - Misc bug fixes to improve app experience and speed 5.0.4 09/24/2017 - Compatibility updates for iOS 11.
