User Reviews

User reviews highlight strong accuracy and timely alerts, with meteorologists praised for professionalism. Yet multiple issues recur: audio failures during weather segments, frequent crashes and slow performance, poor iPhone navigation and readability, removal of useful features like past radar and missing data, and sometimes inaccurate or hard-to-interpret severe weather warnings. Overall, reliability and usability problems overshadow the app's solid forecasting when it works.

Where’s the audio? Why not alert your viewers that the audio isn’t working? I don’t read lips. Put a message on bottom of the screen.

Very hard to navigate on iPhone. Not able to see everything I want to see. Needs larger print. Like the daily is so congested. There’s more but I’m unable to think of it all right now.
