User Reviews

Users praise the app for accurate, up-to-date weather information, reliable alerts, and handy hourly wind/temperature data. Many also find it convenient for day-to-day use. However, multiple reviews highlight issues with redesigns that clutter the UI and degrade usability, as well as radar changes/removals that make the radar harder to use. Some users feel updates aren’t frequent enough. Overall, it’s a trusted weather resource for many, but navigation and radar functionality are common pain points after updates.

Pros

Accurate and dependable weather information.
Always up to date with timely weather alerts.
Very useful and convenient for day-to-day weather monitoring.
Hourly temperatures with humidity and wind data.
Convenient to see weather on phone and track wind direction.

Cons

Redesign/update clutter hurts usability; many want the old version back.
Radar controls/options were changed or removed, making it harder to use.
Update frequency feels infrequent; not enough updates.

Decent app but scam ads. Used to be pretty good and I had no issues with the expected ads, but lately its a lot of fear driven stuff. need to update stuff that you don't gave and install-my-adware type virus nonsense. I guess in the name of greed they selected the bottom of the barrel ad provider selection. Look elsewhere.
