User Reviews

The app provides highly localized West Texas weather data with frequent 5-minute updates from a credible public Mesonet network and is praised for ease of use and usefulness, especially for farmers. However, many reviews cite post-update reliability issues: data not loading across radar, forecasts, or charts; navigation and readability problems on the map; the inability to save favorite stations; and the need for longer historical data and access to missing data fields. Overall, strong local data and usability are offset by recurring reliability and feature gaps.

Pros

Localized West Texas Mesonet data with frequent 5-minute updates for stations near you.
Public access to a world-class, credible weather data network.
Easy to use and set up with the ability to compare data across nearby stations.
Valuable for locals and farmers due to timely weather information and graphics.

Cons

Data and radar/forecast charts not loading or missing after updates (e.g., NWS forecast, radar, rainfall data, 24-hour charts).
Map readability and navigation degraded after updates (unreadable color palette and zoom/pan issues).
Inability to save favorite stations again after updates.
Limited historical data (only 24-hour rainfall) and some missing data fields (pressure, humidity; wind direction).

Recent reviews

I’ve used this app for a few years and it worked great until I did the last update. I can view weather stations, but I can’t save them any more. Have to go and find it every time since updating
