User Reviews

User reviews show the app provides quick forecasts and useful area-specific weather info, and can be effective for tracking hazardous weather. However, many users report reliability problems (crashes, slow open), a divisive redesign with a preference for the old version, confusing navigation and alert problems, and inconsistent radar/data accuracy. The strongest recurring themes are stability problems, UX/design backlash, and reliability of weather information.

Pros

Quick and reliable daily forecasts for planning.
Localized radar can be highly accurate for some locations.
Useful for tracking hazardous weather and staying informed when away from home.
Helpful for daily weather tracking and planning.

Cons

Frequent crashes and slow launch times; app reliability is poor.
Strong dissatisfaction with the new app version; users want the old version back due to usability issues.
Navigation and alert/locations issues; counter-intuitive UI, lost saved locations, and incorrect city alerts.
Inconsistent or inaccurate weather/radar data across locations.

Recent reviews

The daily forecast will sometimes differ from hourly. The daily will show and state "Chance of Rain and Thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy skies. There is a 40% chance of rain and thunderstorms. A high temperature of 82. Winds: SSE at 12 mph with gusts of 21 mph." However, the hourly shows 0% until 7pm, and that is only 10%. At 9pm it shows 50٪. The hourly is more in sync with the other weather apps. The daily forecast needs to match the hourly.
