About Florida Storms
Everything you need, nothing you don't. Florida Storms is not just another weather app with a radar. It's a clean and fast interactive map that alerts you to every storm, while at the same time delivers credible real-‐time audio and text alerts from the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network. Using a combination of Baron's exclusive storm track algorithms and the expertise of a meteorologist, you're certain to receive the most up-to-date information on any potential weather hazard.
View the latest tropical weather updates from the National Hurricane Center, find your nearest evacuation route, check if you're in the path of a dangerous storm surge, or just review a checklist of items your family should have in case of a weather emergency.

It's nice and to the point. Needs a way to change units. Especially for hurricane data.

The "feed" keeps opening while I'm looking at the radar. It really is annoying and needs to be fixed! Update: The feed is fixed now! Only problem is that radar doesn't load sometimes and it's not because of my connection.

No bueno. It's very clunky and unintuitive. Always asking to use GPS. If I wanted GPS on all the time I'd turn it on!!! I manually set my location but the app done st use it in all cases. Also, seems to get stuck when trying to pick up feeds. It's just poorly designed. Shame.

Jumps to "Feed" repeatedly. It even opens by itself showing "feed", blocking whatever I am doing on the phone. I have uninstalled & reinstalled, and everything else I can. So sad. This was a great app when it came out. It has been getting worse with each update.

I have installed this twice now and deleted. The map is very inferior compared to others. Many clicks just take you to the mobiquity website, they are a bit full of themselves

great concept. would be better if user could set mile parameters for warnings/notifications-- i often receive warnings for lightning that is more than 200miles away. while this might be a useful warning if it were a hurricane or a tornado, it seems quite excessive for a lightning strike. with this added option, it'd be a 5star app!

This app was made over the weekend on iPage by a high school dropout. I downloaded it looking for a replacement for the horrid weather channel app or the terrible NOAA mobile interface but this ain't it. The maps are hard to access and frequently unresponsive. Hopefully our local public radio got this thing for free. If they paid money for it they were seriously ripped off and people's donations were wasted on this trash. The only appropriate star rating for this app is a black hole.

This is a crucial app to have. The weather map is amazingly accurate. The app needs several improvements. One obvious one: store my home location, shouldn't need to enter it each time I look at the weather map

I love this app! NPR News, Weather, all in a single app. This is great:) Do you have a widget with the time and weather so we can ditch our other apps that do this?
