User Reviews

Users praise the app for strong local coverage and dependable alerts, and many use it daily. However, recurring radar problems, landscape view limitations, temperature display issues, and occasional crashes dominate the downsides. The most mentioned points are the app's local relevance and alert usefulness, countered by radar reliability and display stability problems post-update.

High user satisfaction and loyalty; many users call it the best weather app and use it daily.
Valued weather alerts and concise, useful forecast information.
Overall concise forecasts and clear current conditions appreciated by users.

Cons

Radar functionality is frequently broken or inaccurate (no future radar, stuck on past, limited radar stations).
Landscape viewing support is limited or removed on tablets/when rotating devices, impacting radar viewing.
Temperature display inconsistencies (temp banners not showing, incorrect temperatures or overlays).
Crashes and stability issues reported by users (some updates fix crashes, but crashes recur for others).
