User Reviews

Users praise high accuracy and radar/forecast features, especially alerts and hurricane-season usefulness. However, multiple reviewers complain that recent updates degraded usability: the UI changed (smaller maps, fewer options), radar overlays are harder to read, and some data such as earthquakes is less accessible. Timing controls (pausing, timeline speed) also frustrate users. Many want the old version back. Despite these issues, the app remains a trusted, go-to weather app for many.

Pros

Very accurate weather data and forecasts.
Radar capabilities with overlays and hourly/daily forecasts.
Timely, up-to-date information including alerts for severe weather.
Daily and hourly forecasts make it a reliable go-to app.
Widely trusted and highly recommended by users.

Cons

Updates degrade usability; many want rollback to the previous version.
Radar/Map UI changes reduce readability (smaller map, fewer options, overlays less intuitive).
Some data/features removed or less accessible (e.g., earthquakes) amid updates.
Time controls issues (timeline runs too fast; pausing hides the time stamps).
