"Am I included in the warning?"

Weve heard and answered this question thousands of times.

With Tornado GPSs search function, never has it been faster or easier to determine if you or your family members are located in the path of severe weather.

Tornado GPS™ is also the first app that can estimate the time and distance between you and any severe weather alerts.

Some apps only let you when youre directly inside of a alert. We feel thats too late, especially if youre travelling.

We automatically display this critical information at the bottom of the app in miles, minutes and kilometers.

If you click the bottom of the app, it will now open up the Details page!

On that page, you can scroll through the details of every alert near your location or any other location youve searched and/or saved into your favourites!


3D Radar:

Weve also included the first ever, mobile 3D Radar!

Now youll be able to fly right into the eye of a Tornado or Hurricane in real-time and see the areas that the storm is impacting.


Facebook Community:

Were working towards adding instant access to our Facebook alerts through the app but for now, search for "Oklahoma Tornado Watch" or "Ontario Blizzard Watch" and join in on the severe weather discussion!

So, thats Tornado GPS™!

Personal distance and time estimations from any severe weather warnings or detectable activity, accurate severe weather forecasts located on our Facebook pages (and eventually on the app), an active online, passionate community and the first ever mobile 3D Radar!

Thank you for your support and well be bringing more and more updates to Tornado GPS a.s.a.p.!

Sincerely,

- Adam Skinner
(Founder of Tornado GPS, Inc.)

P.S. Some future updates include:

- Tornado GPS™ will eventually compare your location to any Tornado activity such as funnel cloud reports, damage reports and advanced technologies like Tornado Markers or Rotation Markers.

- Automatic notifications when the app is turned off. For now, you have to have the app open to get the notifications.

- Text message alerts service working in combination with Tornado GPS, texting you critical specifically based on your GPS location! This will be a subscription service but will allow you to receive alerts even when youre not connected to the internet!

- Well eventually include the accurate Tornado and severe weather forecasts from the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Their brilliant Meteorologists have proven time and time again that theyre very accurate at forecasting Tornadoes and severe weather.

- Tornado GPS™ will eventually compare your GPS location to these amazingly accurate forecasts and in some cases, youll be notified up to eight days in advance of a potential Tornado Outbreak.

- For Canadian users and those who are close to the Canadian border, well also notify you of any severe forecasts from Environment Canada and/or our custom severe weather forecasts.

- Etc, etc, etc.

Thank you again everyone and were working hard to continuously improve the app!!

Pros and cons of Tornado GPS + 3D Radar app for iPhone and iPad

Tornado GPS + 3D Radar app good for

I wont get to see this bad boy in action until next year now as the severe weather season is over but so far I like the looks of this app.
This App cant get any better can it? Cant wait for storm season to really get a good feel for it. Its already worth every cent!
It doesnt have all the bells & whistles yet but they love feedback & need support to add more great features to the app. Having a daughter who is terrified of storms after we went through a downburst in 2010, this app helps her see whats going on!
Love how this app keeps you updated during severe weather! We get a lot of scary storms in ontario, Canada. Cant wait to see what you come up with next!
Dont listen to the other reviews... This app works in Canada and even though the radar is limited to U.S radar it covers the most populated areas in Canada and if radar doesnt reach you then its likely that even Canadian radar doesnt reach you! This app is well worth it :)
The app works in Canada! Im Canadian, it works here. :) All Environment Canada Warnings, Watches, etc all work as well as all National Weather Service Warnings, etc. Many folks assume its only for the U.S. because the U.S. Radar network is what we added first. U.S. Radar covers all of Southern Ontario and many parts of southern Canada quite well. 2D Canadian radar is next on our update agenda but Canadian 3D radar costs $12,000 a year to purchase where as U.S. Radar data is free. One step at a time. If you have any questions or concerns about the app, please email me directly at TornadoGPSinc @ gmail . com I answer every message personally so please be patient if it takes me a bit to get back to you. Thank you for your support and for the latest news about the app, please search Tornado GPS on Facebook or Twitter. Also for an instructional video, please search for Tornado GPS tutorial on YouTube. More updates are coming soon!!! <3 - Adam

Some bad moments

No radar maps at all, so basically all this does is let you know theres a weather warning in your area. Ahem.....lots of other free apps to do that. Id recommend Weather Office by Environment Canada. Dont waste your money on this.
Paid for the 2D version was told I could use the 3D version Free until the 2D was available but then was charged anyway and then the app didn’t even work at all won’t even open. absolutely disappointed. As a Canadian I wouldn’t waste your money on an app that doesn’t work.
For Canada there isnt even a radar map. Not sure what I paid for. Will be seeking refund
After paying for this app Im somewhat disappointed. The radar doesnt move, or show you what time the weather will be changing. You only see whats overhead which at that point will be obvious and free. So far its been a waste. Ill stick to the Facebook page which is always great and accurate.
I wish you guys could mention that this app doesnt work in Canada. Wasted $12. The you tube video is so not what this app really is. Hope it gets better and approves since I feel like I need to keep it after spending money on it.
Still waiting for the features to be added that will make this app a contender. As it is now, not using. Hope the developers get the improvements in soon as right now it isnt useful. Developers are very open to feedback but that doesnt mean anything if nothing changes.
