User Reviews

The app is praised for accuracy and a clean, intuitive interface with useful radar. However, multiple reviews consistently note missing or inconsistent data (dew point, humidity, wind, sunrise/sunset) and temp display issues in the status/notification bar after updates. Ads are frequently criticized as intrusive and slowing critical weather updates. Some users report reliability concerns and slow launch times. Overall, strong core forecasting features overshadowed by UX problems related to data visibility and ads.

Pros

High accuracy of forecasts (consistently praised as among the best)
Intuitive, easy-to-use UI with clear information
Radar visualization for tracking storms (valued by users)
Temp shown in the notification bar when the feature is functioning (valued by some users)

Cons

Temperature display in the status bar/lock screen is inconsistent or removed after updates
Missing key metrics (dew point, humidity, wind speed, sunrise/sunset) from the main screen
Intrusive/unduly frequent ads that hinder use and delay critical weather updates
Reliability concerns with some data (temperatures and radar accuracy)
Slow launch times / performance issues reported by users

Great for weather- Tryed channel 3000 and the overdramatic youtubers-🤮 Very nice radar- I can zoom right to my block (home)- because sometimes it may be a tornado in your city or zip code- but not near your home- (that i love) I have seen folks omg it's in my city- But it's over 10 miles away! heading away from you- Anyway, great app- and all others i hate🫡 pay attention! Be safe ! But plan and focus 🫡 btw you can choose what radar you like- awesome- BEST RADAR EVER

Used to be great, now all of a sudden temp doesn't display on status bar, or lock screen anymore. Seriously? That was the #1 reason I used this app! WHY would you change that? PUT IT BACK!!

After a recent update I can only see the temperature if I unlock my phone. It doesn't show in the banner anymore. The temperature is no longer showing in my notification bar or on my lock screen. Instead some other logo appears instead of the temp.
