User Reviews

Users praise the app for easy access to local weather, accurate location-based forecasts, and reliable radar/updates, plus usefulness for daily planning. However, repeatedly cited downsides include intrusive ads and auto-playing content, stability/compatibility issues after updates, missing dew point data, and readability/UI concerns.

Pros

Local weather access anytime with location-specific forecasts
Reliable, timely updates and alerts including radar
Works across locations – useful when away from home
Helpful for daily planning/outdoor activities

Cons

Intrusive ads and auto-playing videos that are hard to bypass
Stability and compatibility issues after updates (crashes, inability to open on newer iOS)
Missing dew point data (feature removal)
Readability/UI changes that reduce legibility (background/contrast, layout)

Was excellent. I've had the app about a year. Would give it a 5 star, but this last update will not allow the map to work correctly. It will not load radar. If you get lucky enough to have it load, you can not go forward or repeat, as nothing moves. If you grab the bar to move the radar along, the app closes. Fix it, and you have a 5 star app.
