User Reviews

Users appreciated the app's clear, reliable weather info and neat display before recent updates. However, many report issues after updates: removal of widget options, missing video forecasts, unreliable or delayed weather alerts, inaccurate radar/map alignment, data inaccuracies, slow loading, frequent crashes, and ad-related performance problems. These consistent issues have led users to lose trust and consider alternative apps despite liking the app's original design and features.
Pros
  • Originally had reliable and clear weather information
  • Clean and neat display setup and functionality
  • Good weather animation timeline and maps (before recent updates)
  • Favorite app for weather forecasts in the past
Cons
  • Recent updates removed preferred widget sizes, limiting home screen customization
  • Video weather content and forecasts are missing or unavailable
  • Weather alerts are delayed, not sent, or not reliable
  • Map and radar alignment is often inaccurate; radar data is glitchy or off-track
  • App frequently crashes or fails to load, especially after updates
  • Weather data (daily forecast, temperatures, precipitation) often inaccurate or inconsistent with TV reports
  • App performance is slow with long loading times and excessive ads causing delays

Really??? We now have to watch a long ad video just to see the forcast for the week or anything else. I'm done with this app. Uninstalling!!!

After update, hate the new radar features. You can't see certain things unless you save a new map for every one. Very very inconvenient. Bring back the old way of selecting alerts and overlays please.
