For every tornado outbreak this year in the US, there have been corresponding reports in TornadoSpy. You can verify this by using the history feature in the app. There is also NOT a subscription fee, and the app currently has a large enough user base such that it has provided alerts up to 30 minutes before the standard NOAA sightings are issued. Also, the Missouri tornado mentioned in the comments was published (picture and all) well before the NOAA sighting.

Pros and cons of TornadoSpy app for iPhone and iPad

TornadoSpy app good for

I LOVE this app!! Its perfect for any weather lover out there. Awesome features!! If you love weather, you have to get this app!!!
It is extremely helpful because it tells me any tornadoes that are reported in the area for my safety. Im reassured about intense weather now that TornadoSpy is made to look out for people like me! Thanks for the makers of TornadoSpy!!!
I highly recommend this app. It is worth the money and Justin works hard at the support for this app.
When I first bought TornadoSpy I wasnt completely sure how much help it would be. I live in Arkansas & on Friday night multiple twisters ran the length of Arkansas, going from the southwest corner to the northeast corner. TornadoaSpy kept me updated constantly & was better then my local news at being more precise. I am so glad I had this app. Diane Davis
I aint no metereologist and im not allways watching tv so this app is very usefull to me. If storm chasers use it and the national weather association will use this it will save lives.
I had TornadoSpy and I was able to veiw where and when the 5-12 tornados were and when the touched down, this app is awesome!

Some bad moments

There is never any content in this app... even during a recent tornado outbreak in my state there was nada.... Im a little miffed I paid for it because it has literally provided me with nothing. Maybe its a good app, I dont know... but ask yourself this: would you use facebook if no one was posting on it, and you had to pay to subscribe? If I were the creaters of this app I would open the thing up for free for the first year and grow your group of storm chasers and content-adders on here, and then after things are established start charging for it. The way it is being marketed now I just dont see it lasting.
I tried to report a tornado that was going through my county in Missouri (even took a picture of the later confirmed tornado) and it told me reporting is only allowed if one is registered and that the warning would not be published. NOT very safe!!!
This application was a great idea executed in a very poor manor. Even after the recent tornado outbreaks, the sightings that come up are very scarce. About 95 percent of the sightings that show are from the NWS, something anyone could easily look up on the Internet. I was looking forward to seeing user sightings, but no, there are virtually none, contrary to what is advertised. The idea of this app is very exciting and may actually be properly executed eventually, but until then, save your money,
nearly useless did not get any sighting reports on storms 3/3/12
Within 15 minutes of seeing the April 2nd, 2012 Dallas tornado on msnbc. I saw sightings on tornado spy 2.4. 15 minutes after I saw it on a national 24 hour news channel! Dont be fooled by this app. 15 minutes in this tornado season could mean your life.

Usually TornadoSpy iOS app used & searched for

tornado tracker, tornado time, tornadospy+ hd, tornadospy, tornado -track, and other. So, download free TornadoSpy .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
