Zoom Earth - Live Weather Map

This app helps people who live outside to anticipate their weather. Various views help to anticipate winds, precipitation, temperatures, or cloud cover, as well as providing a bird’s eye view of surroundings (like fires, smoke, etc). Nearly instantaneous perspectives can make a huge difference for people who are exposed to the elements. If you desire to understand the science behind weather and forecasting, visit NCAR just SW of Boulder, CO. All the weather channels get their data from the USA government data, then repackage it. The supercomputers have made incredible progress during the last half-century. Zoom Earth has brought out quite a few features that still seem like science fiction, but they are amazingly accurate on the ground (especially when viewed on a tablet).

You can see current weather and see predicted weather up to a few days. You can see rain, wind speed and where clouds are expected to go. You can pinpoint a specific area on the map to see the weather as it effects that pinpoint. I’d like to be able to set more than one pinpoint at a time if possible. That would make it even better. You can see current fires and temperatures. I use this app all the time for weather updates on moving storms for myself and people I know in other areas. The weather is shown above the land mass with lines to separate the states. But you can also look at the entire planet. I use it almost every day.

This app has come a long way since I found it. This latest update just put the app to one of the most detailed weather apps with the simplicity of never going beyond the main page. No submenus, no complicated paths to get lost in. All menu options are placed eloquently along the edges of the screen (ipad for me), not obtrusive or in your way of viewing the product whether it be satellite, radar, temperature history to any other important product that the weather services provide planet wide. While some other apps may provide highly detailed data, I have not come across another app with the simplicity of navigation like this app provides.

I have been using Zoom Earth for years before it became an app. I love the functionality and different map layers that both the website and app provide. I use Zoom Earth all the time for looking at both live and HD satellite views, along with wildfires and precipitation. I was so excited to see that they created an app for Zoom Earth, and I immediately downloaded it. It is just like the website, except you don’t have to use a web browser. 5 stars out of 5, I would highly recommend Zoom Earth to weather nerds like me.

I really love how I could actually follow the storms on Zoom Earth much better than I can on the national weather report or any of those other weather places and that includes the TV stations. I love how I can see not just the rain but also the winds I can see all kind of different settings on Zoom Earth and I just really always share it with everyone else so they can follow their weather instead of counting just on the news or the local weather channels. Thank you so much. I almost feel like I could be a meteorologist😄😄 just kidding

I can’t believe this app isn’t more popular. It is hands-down the best tracker out there. I just downloaded another app with storm literally in its name and the current hurricane headed to Hawaii doesn’t even show up. I open Zoom Earth and it’s instantly there with beautiful colored lines tracking dates and intensities. I’ve been using this app for six years and it has never let me down. I lived in Japan, Florida, and Hawaii and have been through many typhoons as well as hurricanes. THIS IS THE APP!

Zoom Earth shows a satellite view of what’s actually going on. It doesn’t show an extended forecast, but will show you all the information for current conditions (temperature, precipitation, real temperature, and heating index temperature,winds) You can find any major storms -such as a hurricane. When hurricane Beryl came through, it was forecasting exactly where it was going to go. I felt that the forecast was extremely accurate. You can look at the weather- anywhere

The only app I have that struggles with the internet other than this I really love the satellite loops the radar loops with wind speeds & directions I can see everything on here I wish my old app would show this is why I choose to stick with zoom earth but it is very annoying to always see slow internet when none of my other apps struggle and this is why I give it a 4 star not perfect but getting closer.

For tracking storms, this is one of the best programs available—with a serious caveat—it does not appear to allow for “real-time” tracking of immediate threats. On the west coast there is about a 20-30 minute delay when tracking weather events. This is fine for replaying general weather patterns, but the delay is too long for tracking immediate threats—other, less graphically intense programs do a better job with “live” weather events.

I don’t know how I haven’t come across this app until now! It is fantastic, with near-live satellite images, fantastic and accurate data and the most user friendly UI I’ve ever seen. If you want to monitor storm systems, hurricanes or weather conditions/predictions generally then this is the app for you. The satellite imagery and tool to measure distances between storms and other points is uniquely useful.

This app is phenomenal! I really like it, and it is super effective when preparing for severe weather. When the horizon is dark, just open up the app, and I can see an accurate radar view of my area. However, it can use some features, like Doppler Radar, or Radar Imagery for tracking hurricanes. Other than that, this app is pretty neat, which is why I give it five full stars.

I was waiting for a long time that Zoom Earth would be available as an app. Living in an hurricane zone in the Caribbean I need reliable information to be prepared for such an event. Zoom Earth provided me already professional information on your website and have used it for quite some time. In combination with Storm Shield I’m using the information I am able to gather are impeccable for me.

I honestly don't get how all of this is free. You can track weather systems, feels like temperatures, air pressure, and even wildfires (and much more that I don't have time to explain in one review)! This feels a lot like an app a professional meteorologist would use, and there are no pop-up ads as well! Incredibly amazing and convenient, deserves the highest rating possible.

Simply great and convenient being able to toggle temp ,pressure and wind plus precp The App has proven its worth to me over the past year of use and as a meteorology enthusiast it is great to be able to quickly move anywhere to review storm threats and weather affecting favorite locations. Also a good marine tool near shore and inland. T Hanks for creating such a useful andeducational tool,,

When used on a smaller screen, the Weather Map selection box on the left side of the screen can be a problem. This box takes up too much space and just needs a way to be closed or minimized added. This simple change would make the app perfect in my opinion.

I have not seen/used a weather app I actually liked since DarkSky was bought out by Apple. This app has amazing features and graphics and I love that you can view a future cast well into the future to help for planning for catastrophic storms. I’m so glad to have finally found a legitimately great weather tracking app.

I am a student studying abroad and I was in a hurricane. When we had wifi I found this app and it allowed me to see what I couldn’t and it gave me peace of mind know for just a little bit before the wifi shut off how the hurricane was shifting and gave me a sense of what was going on. I am very thankful for this app that allowed me to prepare for the unpredictable.

This app is it. I like the over aesthetics of the UI and its friendly usability. Maybe in future updates you can add the whole forecast and 10-14 day forecast per location to it…. Just a thought. Great work, though! Very, Very satisfied with the Pro pricing to get rid of ADs. Most certainly a value for the money!

Mike’s Weather Page listed a link yesterday and we went to your site. Lived in Florida 55 of my 70 years. This is the best Visual Hurricane info tracking site I have ever seen. Andrew, Charley, Frances, Jean, Irma, and Ian all came over our Home in Arcadia, Florida. We really appreciate the content, graphics, and multiple data areas. Bravo for your work. LPS

what an amazing weather app and just what we needed in storm prone areas. we can see the storms approaching in real time, look at wind speeds, radar, satellite, pressures, rain fall. This also lets us see future casts that can help in storm preparation. weather is a science, this levels the playing field.

Hi dears , this is a fantastic and very useful weather site that provides almost all the needs of professions and ordinary users for better planing of their activities , considering weather conditions . I just like to submit my special thanks to all the site staffs for the nice job they are doing , wishing you all my best in your carrier .. With Regard … Hooshang .

This weather app is awesome and the best weather app I’ve ever used. I’ve always had a passion for weather. Weather alerts and warnings would be an awesome addition to this app. I would gladly pay a little monthly payment to get alerts. Perfect app just missing weather alerts

I’m an astrophotographer and need to know where cloud cover is. Most weather apps show infrared depictions of what’s overhead which doesn’t tell me anything about visual transparency. This app shows me exactly what I’ll see if I go out and look up. If I could purchase it to lose the ads I would.

I first discovered this website around the time Dorian struck the Bahamas, and it’s always been by go-to for satellite since, this app is absolutely perfect for hurricane tracking. From the wide range of satellite imagery to new additions like wind and pressure forecasts, zoom earth has been an incredible tool.

It’s sad how much man has destroyed the world! Now I can really open peoples eyes ,when I show them this app. See for your self. Download and open ZOOM EARTH then, Go to temperature hit the play button see for your self . We are doomed if we don’t stand up against the big company’s.

I get so upset during hurricanes and tropical weather, having this app to look and see where the location is and all the information about the storm quickly and easily gives me a feeling of relief!

I am still finding out what this can do but it is exceedingly user friendly. It would be a great addition would be a toggle for latitude and longitude. Will add more as it is used which will be constantly. Thank you!

I have just become knowledgeable of this app! I am so thankful and am enjoying learning! I so hope this will stay FREE to the public! All any any of my other weather alerts! Want paid! I’m hoping my Taxes have paid for some of this! It is wonderful! Thank you!!!!

I use this everyday for updates in specific cyclones, or just wanting to see other strong storms. It’s very useful because you can see other storms and where they’re at. The map overlays are well made.

This is one of the best hurricanes tracking apps I have ever downloaded, and heavily used during the most recent Yagi hurricane that hit China, this app and another one help me keeping track of the hurricane so I can prepare for the worst, until the power is out.

I love this website, and it’s my favorite place to track weather all around the world! If you’re a meteorology student, or just fascinated by weather, or like to keep track of what’s going on around, this app is great for that!

I really like this App and recommend it to any one who really cares and looks forward to learn about World Radar and learn appreciate how for thousands and thousands of years have ended up with deserts and jungles.

So good I took time out of my day to write a 5 star review. Awesome app with lots of features and different layouts. Satellite imagery from the present and past. Plz don’t ever become pay to use app like trailforks did.

I love this app, we always travels and it helps us check what is the current weather situation via satellite, just do ads is fine but please dont restrict the user to have a subscription to use the app

I mean l do live nowhere bc we travel but l love weather but l got some stuff you should add 1st all of you flat earthes ummm no you should make the map round like the real earth 2st well you should put hail and tornadoes not just hurricanesAlso tornadoes 3st add floods and warnings. But other than that it’s cool

Thank you for this app. It actually allows views of real time storms which is very helpful when planning evacuation, preparing, and to date is much more user friendly than all those spaghetti models!

This app is amazing I am having a hurricane tomorrow and It can track my location and it tell me everything you should definitely get this app trust me u won’t be disappointed with this app

We are in the path and I’ll be using this app to track everything. Better graphics than any other app I’ve had. This looks like a direct hit for us.

I really like this app. It gives more information than the others in real time. I can zoom in on an area I believe will spin up a hurricane much sooner than before.

Appreciate this app so much, it’s very user friendly and detailed and I feel confident that it will keep me up to date with the latest happenings in terms of the current and future storms to come this hurricane season.

Family is in Jamaica… they sent me this app to download before the hurricane hit and I have been able to send him updates via text as he has no internet…

Best way to get the reality of the weather locally and for your travel destinations. Impressive options for see wind direction, temperature, satellite view, and rain in virtually anywhere on the earth with the identities of major cities.

Will you happen to have files that can be accessed that contain major storms that happened a week ago. Thank you

My family frequently travels to several countries. It’s comforting to see on Zoom Earth, the complete weather conditions - where they travel to.

generally pretty accurate except when it comes to “rain” in Hawaiian Paradise Park. Right now the prediction is for “cloudy” and it is “raining” lightly . My neighbor often records measurable amounts of moisture on her rain meter when prediction does not include “ rain”.

Seems to ok but not visible live to street view like google earth which can help family members whose family are in path of such tragic weather as to current from Helena !!!

Zoom Earth was a game–changer for me when it first debuted and I still depend on it for current and historical satellite views of significant events. During hurricane intercepts, I use it (and other tools) for tracking purposes. Amazing app!

I like the app Because it is simple to get the information at a glance ! I use it with coordination with other weather and earth apps👍🏽✌🏽🌎

I am a weather watching geek and Zoom Earth is my new favorite go to app! The precipitation modeling is absolutely amazing and incredibly accurate from what I have observed thus far.

Since Hurricane Lee, I’ve been obsessed with learning about hurricanes and tracking the weather. This app has done it for me and it’s so cool to look at. I am always checking it and have it on my desktop too.
