No more opening the app to see if there are active systems. See this information right on your home screen!\n\nSmall 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. \n\nMedium widget - will always display up the 5 storm types even if they are \"0\".\n\nWidgets 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.\n\nWidgets will display Atlantic or Eastern Pacific storm counts based on your \"default basin settings\" located ","rating_current_version":4.77581,"rating_count_current_version":45644,"star_counts":null,"genres":["Weather","News"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":null,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-20T01:57:11.541Z","catalog_read_at":null,"reviews_checked_at":"2026-10-20T01:57:11.541Z","summary_written_at":"2026-10-10T01:03:03.015Z","placed_at":"2026-10-09T03:59:53.925Z","scored_at":"2026-10-20T10:03:11.692Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Weather app that tracks hurricanes and tropical storms using National Hurricane Center advisories, maps, regional…","what_is":"Hurricane Tracker is a Weather app for iOS that the listing says launched in August 2009.
