User Reviews

Overall, reviews are mixed. Users praise the app for its simplicity, ease of use, and radar features that cover many locations, with comments like 'Awesome app' and 'The best app for weather.' However, repeated issues undermine reliability: Android crashes and freezes (notably on Samsung devices and tablets), widget failures (not updating or blank), and inconsistent radar/forecast accuracy (rain and future casts frequently misreported). Update changes removing data and features, and alerts sometimes failing to trigger, further reduce trust in the app.

Pros

Easy to use with an intuitive interface.
Radar feature with past motion and current/hourly data.
Covers many locations and provides broad weather coverage.
Positive overall sentiment from several users (e.g., 'Awesome app' and 'The best app for weather').

Cons

Crashes or freezes on Android devices (including Samsung phones/tablets) and can trigger memory-management issues.
Widget failures (not updating or blank).
Radar and forecast data often inaccurate or unreliable (rain and future casts frequently misreported).
Update changes common source of frustration, removing or hiding data (temperature in status bar, alerts, storm direction) and cluttering the UI.
Alerts sometimes fail to trigger, reducing reliability.

Recent reviews

This is a great app except... There appears to be no way to disable the audible notifications such as "a new station alert..." and "lightning has been detected...". If you have your phone with you all of the time, like most of us do, and you deal with people during the course of your day, again like many of us do, the notifications are extremely annoying. If the notification issue is addressed, I will reinstall the app.

this app doesn't work very well. it leaves weather alerts after the weather has passed. it says that it is going to rain soon and it doesn't. I'm not sure that this app is helpful at all. also the the weather forecast map shows it that it will rain soon and it doesn't.
