## Review summary

Reviews overwhelmingly criticize the app for a heavy paywall and subscription model that makes the radar/weather features unusable without paying. Common complaints include misleading free access, frequent charges, and difficulty canceling. Users also report that radar/weather data is unreliable or unavailable and that ads interfere with usage. A few mentions of decent information or strong performance during past events exist but are rare, making overall sentiment strongly negative.

### Pros

- Good weather information when the app works.
- Free to download option is mentioned in reviews.
- Some users recall strong performance during past weather events (e.g., Hurricane Helene).

### Cons

- High and opaque pricing with recurring charges (monthly/weekly) and expensive plans.
- Free version is misleading or unusable; users report a paid-upfront trial or hidden charges.
- Radar and weather data are often unavailable or the app is effectively dead without a subscription.
- Ads interfere with radar usage and overall user experience.
- Difficult to cancel or avoid charges; users report being billed after attempting to cancel.
