User Reviews

Recurring complaints focus on reliability, ads, and inaccurate data. Users report crashes and battery drain, heavy ads, degraded radar/map features after updates, poor forecast accuracy, and limited traffic mapping. A few positives mention a widget and some general quality, but current issues center on reliability, usability, and accuracy.

Pros

Great widget
Some users consider it among the better weather apps

Cons

Frequent crashes and high background activity causing battery drain
Excessive ads including offensive ads
Radar/Map usability degraded by updates (fast radar animation, alerts separated from radar, inability to view past and future simultaneously)
Inaccurate weather data and forecasts not matching conditions
Traffic/Map features limited or malfunctioning (location not shown, restricted area, traffic not updating)

Recent reviews

nice but the weather radar is to fast. wish you would slow it down or allow the user to set the speed. it used to do past n future together that was an awesome feature that's missing now.

The radar animation used to be smooth, but they updated the maps and now it's jerky and flickers.

the radar used to be great. it doesn't play, it doesn't show storm direction, it just shows the still picture. worthless leech of storage on my phone.
