This project tracks weather by asking users to download an app on their phone and send in periodic reports as weather occurs.


Pros: Very easy to use, I downloaded the app on my phone and sending in a report takes seconds- very straightforward. Gives a sense of helping meteorologists through the interactive map they have online that allows people to see their reports among others.


Cons: Don’t like site color, not very inviting. The content could also be more specific and ordered so easier to read. App is much better in design. To see the report you sent in among others you have to open a browser window, which I can do on my phone, but the quality would be better on a computer.
