The extension also includes a short-term weather forecast covering the next three hours, various weather data overlays like radar, satellite imagery, and wind speeds, all with time-lapse looping for clearer understanding.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Storm Guard's fast and simple radar display with precise data and minimal ads. However, many report issues with outdated radar images, inaccurate or misleading weather notifications, and app crashes on certain Android versions. The app often misses showing actual storms, and users desire improvements such as multiple city support and a one-time purchase option. While developers respond promptly to bugs, users question the app's value due to incomplete data and pricing.

Pros

Fast radar loading for quick checks.
Simple and effective user interface.
Accurate and precise data when functioning properly.
Prompt developer response to bug fixes.
No intrusive ads.

Cons

Radar images often outdated and not showing real-time data.
App crashes or fails to open on some Android versions (notably Android 6 and Android 9).
Inaccurate weather notifications, sometimes alerting about weather moving away rather than towards the user.
Limited radar coverage, often missing storms or showing incomplete data.
Expensive subscription model with no one-time purchase option.

Recent reviews

I like the app for the most part as it is quite fast for a quick radar look. Unfortunately, it no longer works on Android 6 or earlier as it states it cannot find a signal.
