User Reviews

User reviews emphasize strong accuracy and reliability, plus robust radar and easy-to-use design. However, recurring complaints center on intrusive ads (and video buffering), inconsistent forecast accuracy and TV alignment, push notification clutter for minor weather events, and feature gaps like the 24-hour loop crash and limited long-distance traffic maps. Overall, the app is valued for information and ease of use, but users want fewer ads, more consistent forecasts, and improved mapping features.
Pros
  • Accurate and up-to-date forecasts
  • Reliable and long-standing app used for years
  • Strong radar features (free)
  • Easy to use
  • Provides lots of weather information/current conditions
Cons
  • Intrusive ads and ad interruptions (including video buffering)
  • Forecast accuracy sometimes inconsistent or not aligned with TV
  • 24-hour loop crashes and loss of a more granular 3-hour loop
  • Push notifications can be spammy or misleading for minor events
  • Limited traffic map coverage (only 50 miles) and less helpful cameras

Being a horse person, I rely heavily on an accurate forecast.

Sometimes the radar doesn't seem accurate, but the app works great. It allows me to track weather in a variety of locations across the country, also.

Good app tells weather almost perfectly. Also some meteorologists should just go outside it would help it be even more accurate.
