User Reviews

Reviewers praise accuracy and radar visuals but report frequent UI/UX regressions after updates, stability issues, and limited alert controls. They want fewer false forecast changes, preserved features (like school closings), and more intuitive layer/alert settings. Overall sentiment is mixed: reliability and visuals are strong, but updates and configurability cause frustration for long-time users.

Pros

Accurate forecasts and reliable radar for the Detroit area
Easy-to-use interface with attractive graphics
Useful weather and traffic data from Fox 2 Weather
Trusted, long-time source for local weather

Cons

Major UI/UX regressions after updates (missing layer controls, need to customize the map to view alerts)
Performance issues and crashes; slow to open or won’t stay open
Forecast and radar accuracy can be inconsistent (fluctuating forecasts, radar misreports)
Alerts settings are too limited (cannot filter to severe warnings, unwanted alerts)
Some features removed or harder to access (school closings, cross-border info)
