User Reviews

Users find the app valuable for localized weather and severe condition alerts, appreciating its detailed radar and team presence. However, multiple reports highlight frequent crashes, intrusive ads, inaccurate or outdated weather data, and persistent video playback problems. Notification glitches further diminish user experience, leading some to seek alternatives despite the app's strengths.

Pros

Provides local Rhode Island weather updates and marine reports.
Includes weather videos and blogs for additional information.
Offers push notifications for severe weather conditions promptly.
Has a smooth and interactive radar feature appreciated by users.
Includes a dedicated meteorology team that users feel connected to.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezing, particularly after recent updates on newer devices like Pixel 8 and Samsung S23.
Persistent and repetitive ads that interrupt usability, including forced viewing before videos.
Weather information inconsistency and inaccuracy between daily, hourly forecasts, and actual conditions or TV broadcasts.
Videos often fail to load or buffer excessively, making video content inaccessible or frustrating to watch.
Issues with notification settings, such as receiving unwanted marine weather alerts despite opting out.

The weather seems as accurate as any other, but I've found the app pretty buggy. It will often freeze/force quit and doesn't seem to run well in background, even tho I've enabled that. It's also annoying that it 1) has ads and 2) has one ad that runs every time
